Life on meds continues. I'm having to re-learn a lot of mental habits, but it's still been a colossal improvement to quality of life. I'm also better at emotional regulation, which makes sense, but was nonetheless surprising. Day-to-day, I feel like I can get so much more done, and I actually look forward to free time as opposed to a mixture of relief (at not having to work) and dread (that I had to let my brain loose to bounce off the walls).

Part of the latter project is to figure out a decent way to learn vocabulary. When I was in middle- and high-school Spanish, I never needed to study.

College me would've killed for this thing.
