    The exhausting part is one of the benefits to me. I slept like shit for… My life… Until I was diagnosed at 30. No more uncomfortably restless legs, no more doing mental gymnastics trying to figure out a good way to fall asleep.

    It’s not that they are fun, it’s that I can’t have real fun without them. Best I can do is find a way to be comfortably distracted from the feeling of not accomplishing anything that I know won’t be satisfied by accomplishing things.

    Without the pills dopamine becomes the estranged aunt the family doesn’t talk about but is severely missed.






  • Hadn’t really thought of it that way before. I’ve considered the possibility of an exterior source before but not that it might have something to do with sleep.

    These days I’m more leaning to consciousness being the result of some convergence of our neural architecture.

    It’s like asking the question of, “where’s the user environment of a computer?”

    Well, it’s in the RAM… Except it’s also streaming through the CPU, oh also it’s on the monitor but that isn’t what it actually looks like, however it actually originates from the SSD.

    None of these individual components matter in a truly meaningful way without all of them. It is the same with the brain, take out any part of it and effectiveness is diminished or outright bricked.





  • I had mine at 26 and wasn’t even married. No kids. Had one interview where the doctor made sure I was properly informed, had the procedure done like the next week or something when the schedule had an opening.

    In a very conservative state too. Not Missouri conservative… But definitely not California either. Lol This was nearly 10 years ago. No regrets.
