@Snackness You’re doing the best you can with so much on your plate. You’ve got this. We’ve got your back here. You will get through this and weather this storm. You will be able to get on a couple of days without your medication because you are strong and capable. Be kind to yourself, give yourself love because you are doing enough; more than. You are above and beyond. I’m sending you positive vibes and love

Upvoting this to say ‘I feel you’ feels so wrong on this but…
@Snackness I feel you. I don’t know where you’re at in the world but speak with your pharmacist; they might be able to provide you with some emergency pills to prevent you having to go without in the interim because even a couple of days of drop-off can definitely be harsh.
If you’ve got sick days I reckon 'take ‘em’, knock at least one concern off your plate in the short term to give yourself one less thing playing pile on. Be kind to yourself.

This for sure if you can manage it.

@Snackness You make me want to send you some casseroles or something.

Sincere thank you’s to everyone who reached out, responded, upvoted, etc. I really suck at admitting when I don’t got this, and it just…y’all are great. You helped me a lot.
I’m currently waiting for my seratonin reuptake to be inhibited (got my meds) and I got a timely reminder from my PCP that I suffer from chronic pain which we need to work on (one grows accustomed) so hopefully I’ll be feeling more like myself within a couple of days. Again, thank you. It means more than I can say.

@Snackness I hope this little upswing continues, and you DO get some relief!

The board just reminded me to post this:
Please promise me you won’t buy your kids the school supplies that have the pop sockets all over them.

How the fuck is a RULER a fashion item?
He/Him. Opinions and views are solely my own unless specifically stated otherwise.

They put them on //everything//now and I had a literal nightmare that included them.
Don’t get me wrong! I have a very cute dolphin pop it in my fidget box for babies who need it*. Great tools.
THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE ON RULERS AND PENCIL BOXES AND PENCILS/PENS.
deep breath
- I have strict rules with my fidget box. 1. Only one fidget at a time. 2. Fidget must remain under the level of the desk/out of sight of the person using it. 3. You drop/throw it? You have to wait till a transition to pick it up. 4. Fidget can only be in your non-writing hand.

The only kind of rulers that are a fashion statement are the snap bracelets that look like rulers.
Hello, I’m from the 90s and am old.

It’s a fashion item like the PeeChees were a fashion item like the covers for your textbook were a fashion item. As in ‘self-expression’, rather than ‘clothing’. The folders with the bright colors and cartoons on them, the pencil cases with cartoon characters, etc – all of these are fashion items.

See, I had none of those things growing up. Brown wooden ruler, or clear plastic when I was older, brown paper and clear contact over my notebooks, plain white or blue folders for book storage…

@Testament in my day, slap bracelets had just the thinnest of coverings over the sharp material and could cut you

It might be a girl thing, an American thing (am I right in inferring you’re pretty far east of Murica based on some stuff you’ve said about the time where you are?), or both.
