I NEARLY DIED WOO

Well, do I have a story for you…

So, I started on meds again, was going great. I had designated Techboy as my medicine helper man, a role which he was happy to fill. Unfortunately I probably should have checked his CV more throughly as then I would have remembered that Techboy has ADHD. 

Fun little fact, you can die if you take antidepressants and ADHD medication at the same time. Guess who ADHD’d some ADHD medication with my antidepressants last week! Techboy did! I nearly died! Woo!

I don’t blame him for it, I must take responsibility too. I saw it was a different colour pill and was too depressed to question it… but I did genuinely have a bad time. It’s called serotonin syndrome. I was a complete mess and it really didn’t help that I’m such a mess usually we didn’t even figure out what was going on until 2 days after it happened. 

I was having intense muscle spasms, delusions, hallucinations, nausea and all other manner of unpleasantries occurring for five whole days until it stopped. I feel like I had a week’s holiday in biblically accurate hell. 

So that’s where I’ve been. Oh, and I nearly drowned trying to take a shower. I got stuck on the floor and the water was spraying on my face and slowly waterboarding me. Naturally my first thought was to shave my legs because I was in a perfectly reasonable state of mind. Anyway, I didn’t drown and I’m okay now kinda.

I made a comic about it because I think, on reflection, it’s very funny.

I also think my tummy is looking quite nice, what do you think? 

I think… I am not well really. I don’t know.

Anyway, love you byeeee xoxo

Yikes!! Figure out a visual system to keep track of drugs. Colored containers. I have a thing I do to make sure I don't take too many aspirin: after I take a does I flip the bottle on its head, so when I go back to it, I can see that I've already taken some. I will forget otherwise. this literally took me most of my life to figure out. Now you have a helper to help, you just need to navigate around each other's weaknesses. You are stronger together. You guys can work it out. Is TechBoy also taking meds? You guys are both geniuses, despite whatever else hinders you—I have confidence you can solve it!

Scotty Keister

Come back soon!

Kevin Barbieux

I'm so glad you made it out unscathed. I can't imagine how devastating it would be to hear from Techboy or another friend or relative that the worst had come to pass. If you take nothing else away from this, at least know that this weird little collection of internet strangers you've gathered care about you, perhaps more than you know. Stay safe!

I understand, and thank you for being so open and honest. I can see now how much you're fighting against these compulsions and how deeply they affect you. It’s clear that you’re fully aware of what you’re dealing with and that it’s not as simple as just stopping. You’re trying your hardest to make progress, even when it feels insurmountable, and I respect that more than words can express. I didn’t intend to make you feel ashamed or judged. My concern came from a place of genuine care, especially after hearing about what happened with TechBoy. It worried me, and I wanted to reach out in a way that might make you pause and reflect, even if it meant risking upsetting you. My bluntness was meant as a plea for caution, not a critique of your struggles. Your resilience and raw honesty leave me in awe, and the courage it takes to reveal these vulnerable parts of yourself is extraordinary. Your path, with all its twists, triumphs, and stumbles, is a powerful testament to the strength within you. I am here to support you, to lift you up when you need it, and to celebrate every victory—no matter how tiny they may feel. My words came from a place of care, an unguarded hope that they might light even the faintest spark of caution or comfort. Please know that my heart is with you, and I trust that, even in the darkest moments, you’re doing everything you can to move toward the light. You are truly inspiring, and I believe in you.

You don't get it Kenny, I can't just stop. These things are symptoms, I'm not in control of myself. I can logic and reason perfectly well that I shouldn't pick holes in my face or deep delve into horrifying crimes, I know those are not things a healthy person should do, yet I cannot stop. I wish I could, I'm working very hard on being able too, but I cannot just as much a person with no legs cannot walk. I am mentally ill in a very real way and I don't need your help to feel ashamed of the things I do because of it. In-fact, what I'm trying to do with all this is allow myself to not feel ashamed, maybe help other people feel less shame about the things they're compelled to do due to illness too. Shame only makes it worse, it's just another reason to hate myself.

Alice

I’m very familiar with serotonin syndrome. That is serious shit and you gotta be more careful! I’m sure the experience was rough enough to reinforce that for you. So glad you’re regaining balance… XOXO

Greg Hansen

Okay, I'm going to say it. Imo, you need to stop fucking around! Stop playing violent c-games, stop commenting on lurid crime media, stop drawing violent cartoons, stop trying to impress the Nerdathals on Reddit, and stop taking drugs irresponsibly! These actions are shaping your reality in negative ways. You talk about wanting to be healthy, yet your actions contradict that intention. These choices are shaping your reality, steering you further from the life you say you want. As much as you'd like to present yourself as cavalier, this last episode with TechBoy isn’t a joke. You came close to seriously harming him. Imagine the burden of living with that. Or worse, you could have severely damaged your own well-being, potentially leading to long-term consequences or institutionalization. Drugs—whether psychedelics, psychotropics, or opioids—are not trivial. They come with significant psychological and spiritual weight. They shouldn’t be treated as quick fixes or casual distractions. If you are going to use them, respect their effects and learn from them responsibly. You are one of the most brilliant, funny and clever people I have ever encountered, not to mention your captivating beauty. You're amazing, you have great potential - Don't fuck it up!

Kenny

That is a high quality tummy, nothing potato-ish about it

Kevin Barbieux

Wow. That sounds god-awful. I'm glad you made it out the other end of THAT ride.

Brian Anderson

I think your tummy is very lovely, your belly button would be so fun to sip drinks out of ...

Ian

Hey there, wow that sounds really scary. Glad to hear you made it through! Mental health meds can truly mess you up. I tapered off of a neuroleptic for about a year and some weeks were truly hellish as well. I’m glad the delusions and panic attacks never came back after that. I hope you’ll have some good times coming your way soon. Love the comic, I think it’s great that you’re able to see a funny side to this so soon. All the best and take care <3

Sebastian K

Omg! Wonder if u should post that on social media as a warning to others. I’ve had some experience with serotonin syndrome and it was very scary. The second time I was visiting a friend and she started to have some of the symptoms you described. I asked her if she was on any new meds she showed me what she was taking and I said “ come on we’re going to the ER.”Maybe get a couple of those plastic pill holders you and techboy can fill them once a week. Get one color for morning pills and another color for night pills. Oh yes your tummy is beautiful.

David Verry

Glad you are ok, I never knew that either thanks for sharing.

xWARnPEACEx

Glad you're still with us!

Duke Mitchell

I think pill boxes with large Techboy and Alice on them may be a good idea as well as kept in rooms far apart. Maybe an arts and craft session is in order. Love the tummy picture. You have lovely skin and a gorgeous figure. Thank you for sharing.

Coach Lindo

Certainly cheered my life up a little but a vision of beauty can do that... Please be careful with meds I overdo mine all the time and it's never pretty... So thankful you are safe and as Shane as ever.

Richard

Oh Alice, that's quite some pickle you got yourself into. Glad that you appear to have come out of the other side of that little escapade, and with smooth legs to boot! Your tummy does look nice, do you do any toning exercises for it, or are you young enough not to need to do anything movement-based like us oldies?

Andy White

Dying is bad, very bad. We would all do well to remember that and not let it happen. Only living people can keep a pretty tummy.

Dlandis

Glad to hear you got them all smooth. 😏

SoCal Jim

Yes, and I choked on some water while doing it and had a panic attack too but I did get them all smooth

Alice

Glad to hear all is well. Out of curiosity, did you end up shaving your legs whilst being waterboarded by the shower? 🪒🦵🏻🚿

SoCal Jim

I'm glad you are still with us, that sounds like a horrible experience. I hope you both are ok now though, as I'm sure it wasn't great for either of you to go through that. Sending you all the hug and hope there are better times ahead. Also yes, your tummy looks very nice.
