I am sometimes rather concerned about the things that make the Owlbear anxious. I'm aware that I have a mood disorder, but some of this shit is just silly.

Example: when I went to my pill minder to take my morning meds, I discovered that I had taken the pills from the Friday compartments yesterday, instead of the Monday compartments.

This caused a full minute of panic.

Which… they're the same pills. I don't have special Monday or Friday pills. Or any other day, for that matter.

But this one weird trick that experts don't want you to know about paralyzed the Owlbear in existential dread for more than 60 seconds.

🙄

Anyway, once I calmed down, I moved the pills from the Monday spots to the Friday spots and told everyone I know online how weird I am, like a normal owlbear.

Edit: I fixed a hashtag. I dunno what a "moid disorder" is, but I feel like if I had one, I'd know.

A range of conditions including #GuillainBarré syndrome, #CognitiveDeficit, #insomnia, #anxiety disorder, #encephalitis, ischaemic #stroke and #MoodDisorder exhibited a pronounced increase in long-term risk. Factors such as mild severity of #COVID19, increased #vaccination against COVID-19 and #heterologous vaccination were associated with reduced long-term risk of adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes.

ADDitude

Growing up, my #mother was a fucking stick of abusive dynamite. We don't talk about it as a family, and I'll never know what cursed #mood instability now rushes in my own veins.

Talk to your #children about those things, even if you're #embarrassed and #ashamed. It's harmful otherwise. When you decide you have children, you choose to both gift and curse them. At least help them manage it.
