Soft Week Long Hiatus
2 weeks ago
Hello Wonderful Watcher People
So for anyone who does not know, I have been having issues with my medication over the past few months. I had an appointment today that was kind of a big scare, because the specialist I saw... did not listen to me. And was trying to keep me on a medication that has been really bad for me, and did not advise my doctor on how I should get off of it, which was kind of his entire purpose of seeing him. Idiot man.
Anyway, I was supposed to be starting a new medication to help me even out, but that's got bumped back a whole week while I lower my dose of the medication I don't like.
Basically, I am in for a really rough week lowering my "bad" medication before I can start my new one. I'm having a really rough time already, so I'm pretty scared of how I'm going to feel with even less medication in my systems! (And also, feeling pretty terrified the specialist wanted to force me into taking a medication I told him was making me ill! Scary Power Play Shit!)
SO. I am taking a soft Hiatus until I start my new medication in a week.
It's likely I will still get progress done anyway, just at a slower rate, plus giving my brain "permission" to take a break is a good way to trick myself into doing art anyway-- got a little bit of that ODD in me, but this is generally how I hack it. MUST do it? Don't want to. Don't have to do it? Okay I'll do it a little LOL
I appreciate the patience and understanding! I HATE the idea of turning out sub-par art because I am feeling bad, and I refuse to allow myself to do it! My arts must always be done to the best of my ability! Sometimes taking a break is just the unfortunate route to that high standard.
So again, thank you for the patience while I get my medication situation tweaked properly. No anti-anxiety no mood stabilizer makes MJ 'Something Something'.... oh, 'go crazy' LOL
Wish me Safety & Luck!! orz
