A couple of months back I alluded to receiving some health news that I was privately mulling over and not yet ready to talk about, but am now ready to start talking about along with some capital-T Thoughts. (Also if anyone was wondering about the antidepressant I had just started taking back then that were making me feel insane, life has become SO MUCH BETTER SINCE THEN. Turns out a Wellbutrin a day makes your girl feel like she can see straight again.)

A disclaimer and a content warning: The following is all based on my personal experience and should not be taken as medical advice. I am (clearly) not a doctor. There is some talk of disordered eating patterns. If this isn’t content that’s right for you, please take care.
