13,028 Days Alive

1,842 Steps Walked Today

2 Packs of Mushrooms Bought for Under $3.00

Of Appointments and Apathy

February 22, 2021 ~ Theodora Vanyar ~ Leave a comment

13,022 Days Alive

Fair warning: heavy topics hereafter: it has been brought to my attention that being actively suicidal means my meds aren’t working. I thought it was something wrong with me. I’m not unhappy, per se, at least not more than usual. I mean, I’ve even had some good days recently.

1 Slightly Exhausted Me

There are times where I feel if I stop moving, if I slow down, if I freeze up, I’ll keel over. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s a form of mania? I’m honestly not sure. Whatever it is, it’s exhausting. Utterly taxing.
