Another update on my whole life situation currently.

Firstly, the bad: doctors have continued to be completely unwilling to treat my chronic pain in any sort of effective manner. I basically sleepwalked through the past few months in a miserable haze of pain, unable to function. I've given up on getting doctors to actually help me.

Now, the good: I've found an effective drug to self-medicate with that isn't heroin. That drug is marijuana, which is also far safer for me to be using long-term than opiates anyway. I was wary of trying it again, as I had a couple of bad experiences with freaking out on it in the past, but I now know why that happened and how to avoid it. I can be relaxed, pain-free, and emotionally-stable...among other effects that have made me fully understand why so many people love this drug.

I'll probably start getting a lot more productive with art-type stuff again, since it also makes me feel creative and inspired and want to draw. I've already started doodling some things, but nothing finished enough to upload yet.

So, anyway...basically, life doesn't suck for once!

Also...completely unrelated, but it's autumn now! Woo! My second-favourite season and the time of year that my seasonal depression starts to ease off again. So I'm happy about that too.
