So today Felicity was under some stress. She was dealing with a sick cat, our son getting ready to go off to college, and some financial stuff (which she hates doing, but she’s really good at it). When under stress, her “special ability” kicks in, and she begins releasing stored cannabinoids.
But the financial stuff was really stressing her out, so she took one of her LA Confidential capsules, which are fairly strong. By the time we had to leave for a meeting with yet another of our medical support professionals, she casually mentioned that she was around level [12]. She seemed perfectly fine to me, and her capsules aren’t nearly that strong, so I figured she was just exaggerating a bit.
After leaving the meeting, she said she was now very hungry after our 4-hour meeting (which was actually closer to 45 minutes). I told her, “Don’t worry, I’ll drive us home for lunch as soon as we pick up the cat medicine.”
We got to the vet, and she went in to get the medicine. When she came out, she casually said, “I think I did pretty well, considering the receptionist had green tentacles.”
Not exaggerating, apparently.
That’s funny….Green tenacles.
The fact that Felicity said it ‘casually,’ really made me admire her even more.
Great article on the paranoia and anxiety. Just what I was lookin’ for.
Thank you.
Karen, N. CA, too.
ps. Just came from my hometown in Illinois. Pop. 9, 144 people. I asked a young woman, at the fast food joint where I was using the WIFI, what’s the cost of a joint [I said pre-roll first….hahah] ? 20 bucks. Broke my heart. She probably has to work 3 hours to buy one…but she was so happy to be weaning herself off Paxil. I had just researched the withdrawal symptoms…OMG. Tragic. So I told her ‘atta’ girl!!’ I learned a lot in 20 minutes. 😉 She was great….had to tell someone cool.
Thanks for writing, Karen! Today we learned that Paxil tends to hurt teenagers. But it’s “safe and legal” and FDA-approved! Nugs and hugs!
