AND I WAS ABLE TO HAVE CAFFEINE TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST A YEAR WITHOUT REACTING POORLY
I DIDN’T NEED A NAP, EITHER
I haven’t been this happy in a long time.

The H1/H2 blocker experiment appears to be working well so far.
I took both today and I was significantly less tired this afternoon. I’ll see how I feel tomorrow.

Soooo I might have found another missing piece to my health puzzle…
I was watching a Tawny Platis video and I heard her talk about how she had started on H1 and H2 blockers after thoroughly researching MCAS. Well, it turns out I’ve been taking an H1 blocker (loratidine) for over a year for suspected MCAS and related issues, but I didn’t think to take an H2 blocker, although that’s kind of genius. So Emerson will likely pick me up an H2 blocker once he gets paid. I will keep y’all posted.

I think I overdid it today and yesterday,
But Poet’s Monday was rad – it felt like a warm embrace – and we have more groceries now.
Shower time, whee!

I took a roughly 4 hour nap this afternoon.
I also made a post saying that Emerson and I would be unreachable for the next day or so. I’m still feeling pretty socially burnt out, but I’m feeling marginally better.
We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

I am so socially burnt out.
I am so socially burnt out.
I am so socially burnt out.
Emerson and I are fine, but I am having to crisis manage for other people and a bunch of strangers are DMing me every day and I don’t know what to do with my life anymore. To be clear, I am not angry with anyone who’s DMing me or calling me, just very tired and overwhelmed and dealing with very low social battery.
My phone was on vibrate for a while, but it’s on Absolute Shut The FUCK Up Mode again so I don’t chuck the damn thing into Lake Michigan next time it wakes me up.
Picture me screaming into a virtual pillow, because this is how I feel.
It is sleep time for crippled introverts.

I watched way too much Designated Survivor yesterday.
I made it through the end of the first season. I’ve been trying to rest, I swear..
