Revelations
So I just had one of those lightbulb moments that everyone seems to get at least once in their life. It was weird. And enlightening. (Oh dear gods... please, PLEASE ignore that pun. I totally didn't mean it that way. Dx)
But yeah. I've realized something. I recently went about a week or two without my anti-anxiety/antidepressant medication and during that time, before I realized it, my trich had gotten worse again and anytime I was sitting still or idle I'd be pulling. My mom just recently picked up my refill and I started taking it again. Without even really thinking about it my trich has been flaring much less and I noticed my pulling greatly reduced. I honestly hadn't even thought of it at all when I wasn't taking my med -- it never occurred to me that I was having a harder time with it because I didn't have my medication.
Well... I guess this really sort of proves what I was hoping it wouldn't. It's expensive, my medication, so I was hoping I could go back to school without it, or at least a reduced dose. I guess that won't be happening. *sigh* But honestly, I'd rather have it and pull less than struggle without it. Pulling sucks and I want it to stop. I guess I'm just one of those that has to do it this way.
I should probably look into my NAC again. u_u Stupid dad, getting the wrong kind when I told you the kind I was taking worked great. TT-TT
On the Satchi update, she's still being a monster and she actually bit me and it left a scar. But we're working with her, and she's slowly getting better. She still wets herself when she sleeps, though. I've been researching training collars, and I think Mom and I will run to the pet store tomorrow to try and find a gentle leader halter collar that will fit her without us having to buy a new one too soon. I'm hoping we can get the biting and nipping under control that way.
Otakon is quickly approaching and I'm very excited. My Chiyo cosplay came in and I finished my Listen!Yui cosplay (except the earrings, but I dunno if those'll matter because I'm probably getting my ears pierced?). I need to get my hair trimmed again, because it was a fail cut when I went a week ago. Bangs too short, the rest too long. ;_; So here's to hoping I can get it trimmed enough while it's still long enough to pull up into Chiyo pigtails. If not, I'm probably going to be Kaori. v.v We'll... well, we'll see.
I'm working on a Listen!Asuza cosplay for my dear Satan, Carly~ And it's coming along well! Finished painting the shirt and I'll sew the collar soon. ^_^v Then I need to figure out the skirt, but that's all! ^_^
Anyway, this was supposed to be short, but I guess it wasn't, really.
Either way, hope you're all enjoying summer. <3
