On new meds and other updates

Hello here is an update journal, bits related to my art will be bolded if you want a TL;DR
Hand is recovering okay, looks like no lasting damage, it is still annoying to use (thank you to my partner for doing all the dishes) but it's getting to where I can draw comfortably
I am experiencing a not insignificant phobia of the mandoline now though - I'm talking dizzy and cold sweats and I have to leave the room if my partner is using it, so that's been less than ideal since it was a birthday gift for me >.> gotta work on fixing that
Due to needing slightly non-standard care I've been struggling to get a psychiatrist for years, but I've finally found one who is qualified to help with my specific issues. After a few visits she prescribed me new meds that I could not REMOTELY afford, and I was kind of distraught at hitting roadblock after roadblock with getting my mental health taken care of and I've just kinda been sulking about it for like three days
BUT after lots and lots of calls and asking for help and transferring pharmacies I got it down to a reasonable level that would not bankrupt me and am starting the new medicine today. I have no idea what this is gonna do to my artistic brain, sometimes psych meds sap the creativity so heads up for that if I just stop drawing anything or my art gets weird
Will probably post something about that if it's relevant?
Anyway that's where I'm at now, thanks for reading and for the comments on my recent vent doodle
Hope everyone's having a chill end of November, take care

it was nowhere near as bad, but i can't wash glasses anymore
i hope your new meds help and that you don't struggle to afford them
Thank you~
You're saying that like it's not why I'm here? Who needs normal art. xD
But seriously, yay for getting new meds that don't put you into debt for the next 5,000 years! Hopefully they work!
Thank you!
