I'm tolerant to the point where even combined doses do nothing.
I'm even worse than I was before due to the brain fog, I can't even form a sentence without going uhhhhh before every other word like a retard.
Gained back all the wait and it takes hours to get out of bed sometimes.
Sometimes I look in the mirror and see that other version of me looking back and mogging me.
I can probably ride out my achievements from this period for a bit longer but I feel like a fucking sham.
I dread the tedium of having to do daily tedious work and meeting deadlines without "help". I can't even play a fucking video game or watch a full movie anymore.
my gf from this period left because I'm "just not the same person anymore"
I know for a fact a lot of you are on this, be careful.
and yes jannies, medications and tolerance is /sci/.
