Psych meds chemically change the way I feel – almost completely for the better. I take anti-depressants, anti-anxiety, and anti-psychotica. My behaviour is better. My nerves have been calmer. My days feel lighter and easier. Lately I have felt like taking meds for my anxiety have left me with not enough to do. I feel like garbage today. Restless and anxious like before – but I can’t do the old…
This week I was made aware that I need to pay $1560 back to my dentist b/C no one bothered to see if my insurance was going to cover my procedures.

men really have no idea how hard women have to work to make ourselves hairless. it’s as unnatural for us as it is for them but this is something that doesn’t even cross their minds as they emerge from their caves looking like unwashed wookies not even aware of how much they’re just allowed to exist.
