A few things today health related. I may start a fitness blog, be on the lookout for that soon.

ONE

I stopped taking St. John's Wort (an over the counter herbal remedy for depression). It DEFINITELY elevated my mood, but too much so it seemed.

I read somewhere that being depressed and anxious has an evolutionary advantatege: it makes you think more analytically.

I definitely wasn't as worried about tests, studying, work, my future, my type A perfectionist headstrong OCD habits definitely fell by the wayside. The funny thing is is that I missed feeling like that. So I have stopped taking it.

I'll take feeling crappy randomly for a day or two over feeling stupid (I felt stupid on this stuff), would never try an SSRI

TWO

going to try to drink a raw egg

Read somewhere about some guy who would drink 28 a day...

Definitely need to try...

Put one in a cup today, but I was hungover, would've puked... psyched myself out

But I will do it

  10. lol wat... over the counter drugs are more lethal than street drugs. and anything is a hang over cure. water dilutes the alcohol. foods absorb it. then it takes times for your body to get that alcohol out of your system. basically time only sobers u up.
