Worst.Walmart.Ever.

               On the very very west coast of B.C(not D.C. I said B.C)there is a teeny tiny town in the middle of Canadian nowhere called Powell River. It's absolutely the strangest town I've ever been in, it's like Salem's lot. If you aren't from there, it feels strange, like the air is different or something. It feels like you've walked into a horror movie, this is where we live. My husband grew up here so it seems normal to him, he claims he doesn't know what I'm talking about.
               Anyways, since this town is in the middle of buttfuck nowhere and it takes an hour long ferry ride, then an hour long drive, followed by a second hour long ferry ride, followed by another hour long drive to get here, we don't get much in the way of consumer goods. I guess that's just too much boredom for any sane trucker/shipper. We have a Walmart and it is the Worst.Walmart.Ever. Since it's so far from the actual real world, all we get is the stuff from other walmarts that wasn't selling well. This afternoon I trekked to said Walmart out of pure never ending boredom combined with the feeling that I might actually be able to leave the house today. Of course I went right for the yarn, I heard they got some Bernat Softee Chunky, plus I needed some white yarn for a baby hat for a friend of a friend. THEY HAD THE SOFTEE CHUNKY! Not much but some.
Only 5 colours but better than nothing


I picked up some of the blue because the other colours bored me, and I found some white yarn as well. I started making a hat from Ravelry with the softee chunky, it's called the Stepping Texture Hat.

Well I got about half way done and decided I hated it. The softee chunky is different now, it used to be a bit thinner, so with the new stuff, the hat didn't feel the way I wanted it to. So I pulled it apart, had a mini internal tantrum and then decided to write my own damn pattern.

Crochet pussy hat

Wow, I can't believe I've managed to get anything done in the last few days. After experiencing a major depressive meltdown, panic attacks and developing a cold, I've been pretty much out of comish. But I somehow managed to create an extremely simple pattern for a pussy hat. So far I've had one order for plain pink, two for pink and red, one for black and grey and one pure black. I'm still not functioning quite yet, and I'm drinking too much. Being crazy is hard when you're still sane enough to know you're crazy. I honestly can't believe I survived this as a child, it's a living hell. I'm very lucky to have my hilarious family and husband. Yeah somebody actually married this crazy bitch. I wouldn't get through this without vulgar humour constantly being thrown at me. So this is one thing I still managed to do, and like all my patterns, it's deceptively simple.

My ssris withdrawal experience, day 1.

               This is going to be a detour from a solely crocheting blog for about a month(there will still be some though, don't worry) Today is day 1 without any Lexapro. In the last few months I have gone from 20mg to 2.5mg, the only major side effect during that time was fatigue and anger. However I have come off an SSRI twice before, Zoloft when I was 13 and Paxil when I was 27, and I know that it's once you quit the last bit,thats when the real withdrawals start. I see a ton of people online asking about withdrawals and also weight issues, so I though this way, anyone thinking about quitting can read this and get some damn answers for once.                 I went on Lexapro about 2 years ago for anxiety and I also have a type of OCD called pure O. The problem is that ssris do two very bad things to me, they make me crave food and alcohol so badly that it's not even really a craving, I can't say no, a...

SSRI withdrawal day 2 and 3

 DAY 2.                OMG WHYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! Why have I done this to myself? I opened hell's door today, dizzy, brain zaps every time I blink or move my head. I've had diarrhea aalllllll day, nauseated, and the worst of all, I feel like I'm not real. I feel like I've gone insane, I can't think straight at all and I'm out of wine :(             I know there is reasons for going through this, but it's gonna suck so bad.          It actually feels like the way it feels if you smoke too much weed or hash and you get too high, you cant think and you freak out, you know you aren't going to die cause it's weed and it non toxic, but it's really freaky and scary and uncomfortable. I've never tried any other drugs, but I would say, based on personal experience, that's pretty close to what I feel like right now, except I feel like that ALL. DAMN. DAY.             ...
