i'm at a bar in camarillo, 45 miles from home. it's past midnight and smoky from the wildfires. i came to see my friend and his band play and hopefully go to the party afterwards. not sure what to expect there.
i brought my sketchbook to pass the time and it caught the attention of a (very) cute girl, several years older than me it seems. she was with her friend and they introduced me to their frihouse nds. we talked.
her friend is a japanese eagle scout and he talked to me about his ideas for a back tattoo he wants. another older man let me know he liked my hair, and we chatted.

one beer and a couple vodka sips in so far. they're planning to be done in half an hour.

I’m in awe at your social abilities. I cannot fathom being able to do any of that. Can only meet ppl (no friends ATM) one on one and still I suck Good to see u doing better

there's a medicine for essential tremor (runs in my family) called mysoline that doesn't lowed BP. (you were on propranolol, right?) mysoline does, though, interact with lots of medicines. maybe worth asking the doc about if you want to draw.

Thank you for the suggestion. My tremor is bad enough to be annoying, if not problematic, in everyday tasks, and I would love to have something that would at least significantly lessen it. It was indeed propranolol I was on before, and my doctor said she couldn't think of any medications for essential tremor that didn't have side effects of either low blood pressure or depression (which I already have), but I'll try to remember to ask about this one the next time I'm in.

sorry. checked it out. mysoline often worsens depression. benzodiazepines such as klonopin can help but are addictive. addiction to klonopin is not the end of the world - just means that stopping must be by a tapering of dose rather than stopping all at once. klonopin can also cause depression but doesn't in most people. the biggest worry with klonopin is increased risk of falling especially in the elderly. tranxene is a klonopin relative that doesn't stay in your body long. taking it a couple of times per week so you can draw would be unlikely to cause addiction. alcohol helps, but is also addictive. alcohol addiction can kill (as it did my dad) and tends to disrupt families. alcohol for an infrequent special event might be okay.

and i'm glad your lymph nodes are probably benign.

Ah, OK. I might ask about occasional use of those others, then. I can't stand the taste of alcohol and am also not supposed to have it with some of the meds I'm taking, so at least I don't have that temptation - I'd be afraid I'd be so happy with the results if it helped significantly that I wouldn't keep it to a reasonable, non-addicting amount, and yeah, that would lead to all kinds of problems.

Why will no one at my house listen to me?

I keep telling my mum and step-father that it'd be way easier to just get rid of all the useless stuff in storage instead of bringing it here and painstakingly sorting through every box. There's probably a hundred or more boxes, by the way. But do they listen? Nope.

I know what it's like to be not listened to, even though it may be the wisest decision, but it seems like no one wants to listen to you, and tend to keep doing and/or believing things that usually don't make much sense at all.

No wonder I'm becoming more introverted.

I so badly need to talk to a therapist as I'm perseverating over old things again and again and worrying unnecessarily about certain things, and I know it's probably not going to happen (the things that were suggested might happen) and I keep thinking about it.

Since I last spoke to my 'friends' about some of these things a year ago,
(who live about an hour away, I only know them from grade 10, the year I lived here before moving abroad),
they never contacted me again. I feel so abandoned and betrayed, because if I knew someone was in the situation I am in, I would be sure to contact them and check up on them. I don't even want to initiate contact, because I feel so like 'unwanted' etc. since they obviously don't care.

You have all the resources in you to get through this anxiety bout.

Perhaps watch some of your own blogs which have been helpful for yourself and others.

You speak some very wise words in your blogs - you may be surprised at your own strength and abilities.

I guess what I am saying is that you can be your own therapist and use inner wisdom earned from past experience of how you got through before.

So, last night I straight up asked my step father if it wouldn't be easier to just take all the boxes and contents therein and get rid of them. He replied that he was looking for his passport. I backed down and didn't ask 'why not just get a new passport' because I thought that would be going too far. He then compared it to my books, going along the lines of 'you don't take the easy way out, you write the hard way.' I was left struggling for an answer and just gave up.

Why must things be made complicated?
Taking the path of least resistance is sometimes the best way to go.

I'm finding a new peace in my life.
This may have something to do with cutting off a certain someone.
