Content warning: Suicidal thoughts It’s been a rough day. I am exhausted physically and mentally. I want to not be here anymore. Very strongly. I more not want to be here, not wanting to be present than actually wanting to do something to kill myself. I am considering hospitalization, but […]
One of the classes that affected me the most taught me that I should be able to explain my research to a 7th grader. This is because if you aren’t a specialist in my field, a lot of what I did wouldn’t be understandable with all the jargon and background […]
Today I met up with my friends Doc and Dan! First I picked Doc up and we went swimming. I was really tired (I don’t normally get up that early!) so I was lagging a lot. Doc helped cure me of that by allowing me to hold one of his […]
Hestia had gotten a little lax in her responses to my episodes, so for the past couple of weeks I’ve really been reinforcing her responses and doing a lot of remedial training. She now will run across the room and jump on my chest and lie down with her paws […]

Today we went to Harry Potter Science Saturday at the Museum of York County. We decided to sleep in a bit and go in the afternoon. Which was a mistake, because that’s what everyone else did! The museum had lots of special Harry Potter themed exhibits. Professor Umbridge and Hagrid […]
Today was a rough day for me anxiety wise. I did two things yesterday and had a psychiatrist appointment today. That was apparently too much for me. So I was having a very rough time in the waiting room. Hestia was not into helping me for some reason. She totally […]
Lately I’ve gotten very into drinking iced tea. It keeps me hydrated and tastes good. Until I started drinking iced tea, I was chronically dehydrated. Now I”m not! However, I’ve been feeling guilty about the cost of my iced tea. I can get tea for 10 cents a bag at […]
