ADHD/Anxiety and Medication Roulette
My brother is coming in town this weekend so I’ve got about 45 minutes or so to vomit this out so we will see how polished the output is here. I’ve been back on Meds for about 4 months now. Some pretty serious life changes/the worst shit I’ve ever had to deal with (no hyperbole,…

Fit and Finish – Decorating The House
For too long the house walls have been barren. Not enough color, not enough personality. That changes now.
