Great post, I'll read the actual article when my head is in a better shape.

I always say that I'll go back on Haldol if I end up in a terrible state and just can't manage without. I really hope that my brain has, like, rebooted by now, after six years off meds. I really hope that if I try Haldol again it will work as well as it initially did. Before it lost most of the desired effect, and instead began producing some really nasty side effects.

But as of now, I'm trudging along, even though I'm currently a little fucked up (probably overworked, end of semester and all that). Monday morning I looked in the mirror and my face was completely skewed, lopsided like a Picasso painting. My first instinct was to try to paint it into a straighter shape with make-up, but then I thought no, I'm gonna go about this rationally. I'm gonna double-check what my face looks like on other devices. So I checked my phone on mirror mode, and started a one-person Zoom meeting on the computer, and my face looked normal in both. Then I thought ok, it's just a mirror illusion. But I need to cancel some shit and calm down.

Now I've cancelled some shit and try to take it really easy. Hanging in there.
