Normal people can just DO this without medication? I can sit here and listen to music without feeling the need to be hyper-tensed and aware of everything around me? Why does my heartbeat feel calm? Why am I not on edge?

I was recently reading a book on sanitation conditions in Stalinist Russia, and it made me think about how many ‘normal’ things I take for granted in my day-to-day life that simply were not the norm for the majority of human history. I guess this is the reverse - something which other people take for granted, but I’ve only just received, and it’s like the Holy Grail in my hands.

    Yup.

    Make sure to always fill your meds at the scheduled time. If you happen to miss a dose or two treat it as a backup as most meds will have shortages and a bit of padding can be a lifesaver. Last time for me was a three week gap and luckily I had enough backstock for workdays during two of those three weeks.

    Only having a week of struggling was far better than three!
