Vicious circles are something I’m really good at. I’ve been feeling anti-social1, and I have a distorted view of my position in society which tells me if I’m not actively engaging, people tend to forget I exist2. This, of course, makes me feel even more anti-social.
On the up side, I do think my new combo med with dextromethorphan does seem to be helping with my generalized anxiety, and I continue to sleep reasonably well.
I suppose what this comes down to is another request to continue to bear with me, which I already know everyone will. Even if I don’t respond to texts, or comments, or phone calls, I read and appreciate the content. Not responding doesn’t mean I don’t care or I’m not paying attention, I’m just being Oscar the Grouch.

- This is not fishing for compliments. I’m aware people seem to think I have many redeeming qualities, the difficulty is I haven’t entirely persuaded my brain to believe it yet. This is a work in progress. ↩︎
