lexapro

Obviously a personal decision but a major game changer for me. I wouldn't say I feel things less but more that I can at least manage them! Took some getting used to for sure- incredibly sleepy/zero horniness/headaches/etc. for about a month, but the side effects were worthwhile considering the alternative. Good luck!

LEXAPRO

ive been on it for ~ 10ish years (probably started way too young) but it gives me the power to be a functional human without diminishing my range of emotion (huge plus because i feel most alive when im laughing and crying i just don't want to be crying all of the time) prozac gave me insomnia and trintellix made me stupid. unfortunately i cannot cum like 96/100 times but i'll take that over how bad my depression was also buspar on top of that helps w anxiety with like no side effects at all

USPS

The United States Postal Service is, second to the Department of Motor Vehicles, my favorite American institution. I'm a hoarder, I order a lot of things off eBay, so I'm always looking out for the mailman. Rain or shine! And I have so much reverence for those who work in the actual post office behind the counter. I'm always impressed by the intense emotions they can inspire in customers standing in line--panic, fatigue, stress, fury, ego-mania, depression, denial...I also really loved Post Office by Charles Bukowski when I read it in 2013. I wonder if it holds up.

Ankle Weights

Wearing Velcro-strap ankle weights around the house helps me feel grounded and productive. Beyond walking my dogs, I get zero exercise otherwise. I like wearing them when I work because they remind me not to get up from my desk every twenty seconds--those extra few pounds provide me with just the right amount of lag. And somehow I also feel more spiritually integrated on days I wear them. I guess my ankle weights are my "hair shirt."

EDDIE VEDDER VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE

If I were to recommend any of the Youtube channels I watch most frequently, I would feel irresponsible. It's a lot of crime scene clean-up, thrift-store vloggers, raw police interrogation footage, at-home cyst-lancing, segments of "The Oprah Show" home video-taped with a camcorder off the TV in the 80s, etcetera. Maybe less shameful--but just as dangerous?--is my affection for Eddie Vedder. He had just quit stage-diving, I think, when I saw Pearl Jam play Boston Garden on their "Vitalogy" tour in April, 1994, a few days after Kurt Cobain died.
