Stats

I like numbers/stats and research, and my schiz brain recognizes patterns and is happy when I indulge it so I did some fun work 🥳

I already looked into how gummy nights impacted my work life, but today I looked at how it impacted my writing, and I’m even more shocked by my writing than work.

I started gummies on Saturday nights in the beginning of 2018.

In December 2022 I started taking them nightly, but stopped ALL gummies May 1st once I realized that it only fixed 2 (admittedly big) things but brought on about 15 other intolerable things, including no motivation or creativity and more depression.

See if you notice the difference in my writing year by year 😲

I also had WAY more interaction with friends before 2018

The stats are very similar with my real life work, especially once I started taking gummies nightly.

However, it was much easier to sit and watch TV, so I got a lot of things watched when before I didn’t really watch all that much TV/movies 😂

BTW I’m not saying gummies don’t serve a purpose or that they’re not helpful for anyone else. I still plan to use them for severe psychotic episode, much like I would’ve done years ago with antipsychotics (gummies are WAY safer for me with WAY less side effects) taken for an 8-week course.
