:raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed:ooo, me! It's a blessing and a curse.. I wouldn't take anything back, but yeah. It's a lot to deal with sometimes. I just see it as a tool bag where I haven't yet discovered the job for every tool, but I know I need it.

I have (NPD) Narcissistic Personality Disorder which fueled my drug use due to dopamine rushes. Heavy usage increased my depression and anxiety. I am currently on several SSRI's and Vivitrol injections

I take a nice amount of depression, ptsd and anxiety meds. AM and PM. I drank heavily for 17 years. My psychiatrist, primary care and neurologist said it’s because of the amount and how long I drank. I do suffer from memory loss also because of drinking. The meds are a tremendous help. One day at a time.

Wow, you look absolutely gorgeous, and I really like your profile. You seem like someone I’d really enjoy connecting with, so I’d love it if you could follow me back. That way, we can get in touch and get to know each other better.
