it's me. i'm people.
THANK YOU.
so very seriously.
people keep telling me it's dangerous and NOT GETTING the reasons i cannot just stop it. there is nothing else i have that will stop severe reactions!
(i HAVE managed to go to 25 mgs/night, down from 50. unless i'm have an mcas reactioin. BUT)
alll the solidarity!
the biggest rule when i was growing up was don't mess with my grandma's schedule and never spring things on her unexpectedly, because she'd have "a little break down"
she found so many social rules utterly baffling. she'd explain to me as "it doesn't make sense, but [thing]"
ooh, thank you so much! i'll dm you!
