In addition to seroquel, I've started dry brushing. I heard it helps with infection and your immune system in addition to getting rid of dead skin cells. I did hear that it could help with constipation too which I deal with but seroquel has made worse - today was day 2 and I swear I feel so much better. I'm hoping it helps with my scalp.

I didn't think I'd have massive health issues in my early 30's ;n; But if this works then YAY!

Ageism in Fandom: Too Old to Fangirl?

Most Fandoms are comprised mostly of women, young and old. 

It’s interesting to me when Young Women– who are the most likely to champion women’s rights can turn around and show their youth-bias when it comes to Older Women in Fandom. 

There are women who champion Gay Rights, and often Slash– and fall for men old enough to be their fathers— 

—but somehow, the idea of Older Women in Fandom seems to an affront, that there’s something inherently wrong with it. 

Very puzzling. You’d think there would be more tolerance in a subculture that is based on freedom of thought and expression for ALL.

Seroquel has literally changed everything. I'm fucking cleaning my entire apartment and finally starting the bioactive rat cage set up I've been wanting to do for literal years.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT - my scalp doesn't hurt anymore and my hair isn't falling out in clumps, my joints aren't in pain, there isn't pain in my stomach...

I still stand by the fact that Lamictal was slowly killing me because the downward spiral I was on was getting exponentially worse the last few months. I was having dreams of dying more and more often.

I can breathe better through my nose. (OH and my mouth isn't dry. I ALSO still stand by that I would still have my tooth if I wasn't on Lamictal.)

Fuck the doctors, psychiatrists, endocronologist, etc etc etc... I have been TRYING to get off this pill for over a year once I felt like 'hey, it has to be this... there is NOTHING else it can be. I have tried everything.' and been gaslit and told I was literally 'overthinking it' and 'stressed'.

My current one literally face palmed me when I asked to be off of it completely and begrudgingly gave me a small dose of seroquel. She was angry at me, probably thinking I was just trying to get off of meds but bitch, if I didn't want to be on meds I wouldn't pay $200+ to SEE YOU for 15 MINUTES. I'm here to get better!

Ive been working on the world that all my stories take place called the Broken Planet. The overall theme is healing from childhood trauma with each character being a different way ppl cope. This is for retrograde proxy, love with no strings, ectobabble, nowhere Gnome. Etc. All stuff I never post so 🙃 but im building a site that is 'neopets-ish' that is all the lore and all the stories in a grimm's fairytales way. Basically me trying to get all my stories out as soon as I can.

The lore is there was a tree planted that grew toxic and greedy and absorbed all the life from the planet and even crushed it. There is asteroids that I drew that rotate this main planet. Love is the main witch who starts bringing people together. Very wuh lah wuh. Lots of asexual rep. Lots of caretaking and crying.

Ive hurt my OCs my whole life and idk with how bad things are im like... I want to heal them all...?

Idk, share if you like it. I work harder and more when I know I'm wanted. 🫠
