i ran out of my SNRI before i could get my prescription renewed and within 2 days of going without it i had to go to the emergency dept because i could hardly stand or walk without feeling like i might pass out, i was sick after eating anything more than a small snack like string cheese, my vision was unstable, i had haunting nightmares that riddled me with sleep deprivation because i couldn’t stay asleep for longer than about 30 mins at a time. the doctors kept me for the night to keep me on an IV and to assure my blood tests came back clean because they thought i had a potentially fatal strain of bacterial meningitis. i literally wasn’t allowed to go home until they knew i wasn’t going to die in 3 hours because my symptoms lined up with something much more serious. all from 2 days of going without my meds.

abandoned castles

pressed flowers

old books with dust all over them

languages that humanity no longer uses

You got out of bed today.

You did your dishes or dirty laundry.

You finished some homework you’ve been putting off.

You cleaned up around your home/apartment/dorm etc.

You resisted temptation in any form.

You found a reason to smile.
