You want to get yourself some ashwagandha. It takes the cortisol out of your system.

I'm much the same with things. My mad boss decided to email me at midnight on Saturday about something which had gone wrong.

I just have to constant push it to the back of my mind and hit the herbs or it would ruin my weekend.

I used to be big into supplements. I had considered trying ashwagandha. I don't remember why I didn't. Honestly I think the tiniest dose of Haldol would chill me the fuck out, and I'd be fine. It's difficult to get, and it's not like I'm a psych case. I just get worked up sometimes. It's like a blinding rage. A major tranquilizer seems ideal. Surprisingly, that's not easy to get. Especially with my high BP. There's a long Qt prolongation concern iirc. And all the other horrible side effects of long term anti-psychotics, but a bottle of 60 I think lasted me 6 years or more.

You'd think anyone who'd want an anti-psychotic should be given one.

Getting my mind off it helps. Even if it is a rant lol. This stuff takes a toll on me. I kinda just want to lay down in the bathtub with the shower running and take a nap. Surprisingly though, there is a risk of death. You can pool water by your nose/mouth and aspirate it while asleep. Chewing gum and sleeping poses a similar risk.

I admire your functionality. If I was in your shoes I'd be worried I'd yell at the boss, get fired, and have to go live under a bridge. I don't like being this way. Well, it has perks. Not gonna lie. Sometimes though I wish I was normaler.

Maybe if I had a job that'd actually help to have something else to focus on, a different compartment. I have been cleaning. My knee isn't really cooperating. It doesn't hurt, thank god, Gua sha massage and getting off painkillers helped with the pain. Oddly enough. I guess if I didn't feel the pain, I moved like I wasn't arthritic, I just hurt things more. And the gua sha, chinese mysticism bullshit aside, the tools let you get deep in there. I mean if regular massage cut it, it wouldn't be a problem.

But the knee doesn't seem like it always wants to hold weight. Maybe I can just brace the knee totally straight and walk like a peg legged pirate.
