❤️. Internet hugs to you. The housing situation is just awful I agree. I used to use Airbnb, do not anymore. It’s out of control.

At least i'm medicated, but unfortunately not everything can be fixed with drugs.

Thank you for the moral support <3 And thanks for quitting Airbnb; that business is the last thing the world needed -_-

If you don't mind me asking, do you have a bipolar disorder as well?

[–] Zerlyna 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I sure do! Took years of wrong diagnosis. Mostly on the depressive side. Geodon was a game changer for me. It’s been four years. Much better, but not perfect. And I’m going through The Change to boot now. 😭

I'm glad you're doing relatively well. I've heard good things about Geodon, but I don't know anything about it.

I was also misdiagnosed early on. I was put on SSRIs, and the fallout from that pretty much ruined my life :/
