Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Thrive to spite them

So I was feeling good about conquering .

Well starting to conquer my credit card debt which I don't want to talk to anyone about.... but the dental insurance covered way less than anticipated and my yes exam and new lenses are expensive.

The hole got deeper. BUT the plan is had is still doable. And I have not really beat myself up about any aspect of this. I'm frustrated but realistic.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well, eyes and teeth are things you have to take care of, it's not like you bought a dozen pairs of Fluevogs...

Yes and my Inner Adult is able to remind me of that and quiet my Inner Parent so I tell myself "maybe if you dind't spend so much time in front of the computer.. " or "if you were more responsible you would have done this while you had vision insurance in Vermont" and I can say "maybe I could have done this in Vermont but I can't change that and I am taking care of it now." and my Inner Parent just grumps off and mutters about kids these days (or something).

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm so frustrated that all I can do is laugh: I'm pretty sure I'm having an allergic reaction to the Cymbalta. I have no idea why I'm such a delicate flower when it comes to drugs, but I am flushed and itchy and I recognize the signs of an allergic reaction. Dang it.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

do you have any Benadryl-ish stuff to take?

ION, I just unfollowed a friend who had just found me again after being out of touch for years. She just admitted she's voting for Trump. sad now.

I have ALL THE BENADRYL. Well, a lot. And I took some.

I'm not worried about the reaction; I'm annoyed, because it means I have to start over. Although I barely got started with this one. Sheesh. Maybe I should just go back to Lexapro even though it screwed with my memory.

Have you tried Pristiq? It's my magic drug, though of course it won't be everyone's. Cymbalta made me crazy-cakes.

Pristiq may have to be next. I was having a hard time sleeping on the Cymbalta anyway.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm trying to decide if I want to try to plan something for my birthday this weekend. I know that, if I don't do something for my birthday, then I'll sit at home feeling all pathetic. But I've been in a whole lot of pain lately, and I don't want to plan something and then have to back out because I'm hurting too much.

Steph, I've been itchy and sleepless on Cymbalta too, but it's getting better, so I think my body's adjusting. Unless it's just intolerable, I say give it another week and see what happens. I hope it settles down!
