So, here’s the deal: I’m right on the edge of falling into this endless Xanax loop.🙄 I’ve been taking it for a while and everything seemed fine, until I realized that if I get too high on it... well, the crash that follows is a total downer. Just pure exhaustion, depression, and feeling like I can't even pull myself out of bed.
But honestly, whenever life just sucks in general, I can't help but try to fix it myself. So I pop some Xanax and suddenly everything feels great.🙄 Then comes the other extreme.
I’m wondering if any of you guys have dealt with this. I haven't hit rock bottom with an addiction yet, but it feels like I'm getting pretty close.
Is that really how all hormonal birth control works?😲 It’s honestly wild to me that girls still take those pills. They do way more damage to your system, and there are plenty of other ways to handle contraception anyway.🤷

I swear, true story). Whatever you do to an animal, you do to yourself. Period. Exactly the same way, under the exact same conditions. If I could, I’d write that straight into the Animal Welfare Act this very second. And I would enforce it religiously. I don't see the problem.
Same goes for everything else in my book. Honestly, Hammurabi's Code was the gold standard—eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. Just look at what you're planning to do, whether it's assault or murder, and decide if you're ready for that kind of payback.☕
Forget civilization. It was the only thing that ever actually made sense.👍

Yeah, I'm right there with you on this one. I know a guy—not even someone particularly unstable—who couldn't sleep for a week after seeing that movie.
So, what happened to that pharmacist boyfriend of yours?🤣 If your friends are already distancing themselves because of him, I guess you could just walk away too.😁

The second they slap an anorexia diagnosis on you...🤷 I mean, doctors don't just throw those labels around for fun, right? What really sticks out to me here, though, is how much you keep trying to play down what's actually happening. (And hey, I'm not even attacking you here🙂)
Look, with all due respect to everyone who went through it—myself included—I think there’s just something fundamentally broken in the way people process this stuff.
Same boat as you.🙂 Only thing is, I’ve got a few more years on you, and honestly? I was exactly where you are back then. Doesn't look like things are changing anytime soon. I pretty much tanked my own life because I couldn't stop being so damn inhibited—too much hesitation, too much overthinking, just constant analysis paralysis... Funny enough, I ended up at the wrong college too.😵 I realized who I really was a long time ago, it’s just that there isn't much I can do about it now...
