My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland
So as you might know, I’ve been on meds (Zoloft for anxiety/panic attacks) for about a year and a half. Prior to this med-circus I’m partaking in now, I had been off meds for 3.5 years. And before that I was on them for about 8 years and prior to that I was medication free…

I Call Shenanigans!!!
Humor, how I love theeeeee. I think humor is a life necessity. Like air, like water, like food. We need it. If humor didn’t exist my life would suck.
