Rules

  1. try to label triggering content and hide it behind a spoiler. In general at least make sure you hide mentions of suicide, self harm, violence, and sexual content.
  2. Don't discuss specific plans to injure or kill yourself or others. Discussion of general ideation is acceptable. Got something AWFUL to say? Try c/VoidScreaming
  3. Avoid requesting or giving medical advice beyond personal experience. Describing how you personally managed a medication side effect, for instance, is fine.

So I'm using CBD to treat my trauma in the meantime before I get a pill after, presumably, the month of April. (lemmygrad.ml)

I'm going to ask my psychiatrist for a med that treats trauma. I've been having these daily flashbacks since, I don't know, 2010? Time to take charge. Time to say that I'm worth it.

In addition, I will get a sleep apnea oral appliance so I can treat my sleep apnea without the damn CPAP machine that I can't get to work at all.

In addition, I'm going to see if I have a chance, or do have, AFib or Atrial Fibrillation. My heart acts funny.

I will get through this, even if the next few months see me self-destructing with the stuff I'm about to do soon enough.

(I'm going to attempt something, and if I'm not successful, or I was wrong about the situation, then I'll let it go. Forever.)

Sorry, just pumping myself up for the next few months, and giving myself a good kick in the ass to get myself out of this rut of grief.

Apparently, marijuana "Blue Dream" edibles help treat it, medical cannabis, but aside from that, I read this:
