  • I take a low dose of Klonopin which works. I’m pretty afraid to take them; I had friends tell me they are addictive. So my prescription bottle I think is from January for a month’s worth. My doctor was actually happy to hear that I don’t take them often; so they kept me on them (they were for as needed). I’m willing to try better alternatives. I was on an antidepressant zoloft, but it made me not feel great. I felt kind of like a robot after a while. It’s what I meeded at the time, but I got off of them a year ago.

    I have no shame in admitting this stuff. As a friend once said, talking about it takes it’s power away.


  • Both.

    It’s definitely infected. I had perfect teeth before this. I brushed, flossed, went to regular check ups. The fact I am having these issues feel like my fault. During the pandemic I forgot to schedule an appointment. Then the anxiety issues made me just want to be reclusive.

    I don’t feel shame in going to therapy. I used to go up until about a year ago where I was let go from my job. I probably should pick that up, but I want to go to a different therapist. The one I was going to was recommended by a coworker that I was friends with for 10 years, and all of a sudden ghosted by. So, I can’t not associate that therapist with that person.














  • I’m not claiming I am better than anyone else. I have one perk to this lifestyle. I have many more downsides. I need to take supplements because I’ve been anemic. I fart constantly.

    I’m allergic to eggs and lactose intolerant. I will eat dairy. I usually have to stick to yogurt. I don’t eat meat because as a child we had to push expiration dates and got sick a lot. Meat just grosses me out. My wife is not a vegetarian. I’m not in this for moral reasons. I don’t fault anyone for eating meat. I’m not pushing a lifestyle here. I’m just saying I don’t smell much.

    And, I do throw up. I’m a lightweight when it comes down to drinking. I also generally don’t like other vegetarians because they do act superior. I like to point out random facts that are in opposition of their view, and call them out. Then when they play the moral high ground card; I can do the same.
