depression, drugs
The only thing I have at the moment that helps take the edge off the depression is Pot.
The thing is, I've been depressed so much lately that I've spent a lot of my free time stoned... and it's getting to the point that I'm wondering whether being stoned so often is worse than just being deeply depressed.
I wish I could just make the feelbads go away so I can get on with my life.

Another deep diving mood crash today out of nowhere. I could feel it starting this morning and it's only getting worse as the day goes on. At this rate, I'll be lucky if I manage to acquire dinner for myself tonight, let alone do literally anything else with my evening.
My rescheduled psychiatrist appointment is Monday. With some luck, I'll get some anti-depressants out of it.
Oh my goodness, this video! My heart! ;o;
I can only imagine what that whale might feel or think of such a performance.

"You want me to leave my mate, be in the company of random strangers with whom you don't want me forming the 'wrong' kinds of emotional attachments, perform alien calculations in strenuous mental models for hours a day, for which you will reward me with just enough to not really afford shelter, in hopes that in thirty years, we can quit doing it? And you think my way of life is weird?"
When I work from this coffee shop, I tend to set up in one of the big comfy chairs on the stage, thus apparently claiming it for queer people everywhere. I say this 'cause the longer I stay here, the more awesomely queer presenting people end up just quietly working on the stage beside me.
And that is h*ckin' RAD. :D :D

It's funny, even I was becoming a tad wary of "trigger warnings" because some people were being very aggressive and doctrinaire about them.
But here in a community of actual people who actually use them sensibly for actual needs, instead of having to defend them to gangs of paranoid right-wing crusade addicts...
They're pretty great, really. It just feels so civilized to be able to say "um, yeah, some of you might not wanna look at this one" and save someone a bit of unnecessary distress.
Oh hey is there a thing going on? I've been having such a good time watching #SGDQ2017 that the day seems to be almost over?
I'm gonna go get ice cream. :D
