I hope this is allowed on this sub, sorry if not. My sister was a fit 29 y.o. with a history of anemia, and an eating disorder as a teenager. She had a head injury at 17 that caused her to lose her sense of smell, as well as experiencing aches on the bump when it got too hot. Also occasional heart p

I was given quetiapine when I was 15 to treat my bipolar. It is an “irreversible” drug as it can shrink gray matter, impair sexual function (another TERF argument) and cause heart problems (QT prolongation).

I couldnt read for almost 10years so maybe even longer. I didn't track the time. I was always a big reader. I finished 700page russian literature in a week.

For the first time in a very very long time I am actually proud of myself. I am now stable on Tegretol, clonidine, and olanzapine. I have a job, I was promoted to manager and even made employee of the month. I can't believe how far I've come. 7 months ago I was homeless and strung out on the streets
