I Tried Having Less Hope At My Psychiatrist Appointment… And It Actually Worked.

On 11th Feb 2025 By Absurd RhioIn mental health1 Comment

I woke up in a panic, handled NHS frustrations better than usual, found comfort in Starbucks and plushies, and ended the day very on-brand with an existential crisis over my medication increase. Don’t know why I’m hoping—so fucking naive. Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine.

Psychiatrist Cancelled, I Cried, Then I Bought Jellycats in Cardiff

On 21st Dec 202419th Jan 2025 By Absurd RhioIn Memorable Days, mental healthLeave a comment

When my psychiatrist appointment was cancelled during a mental health crisis, I felt adrift. Instead of spiraling, I escaped to Cardiff—a place that usually feels like home. This is about frustration, yes, but also continuing to keep on keeping on when the system fails to show up.

Grief blogging, ADHD chaos, ED recovery, and Cyberpunk 2077 outbursts. Sometimes Biscoff. Always feelings.
