I’m not sure any of this applies to lamictal...it’s an unusually friendly one, she was talking in general.

only thing about lamictal is if it gives you a rash you have to you to the hospital immediately and discontinue the med.

You don't need bloodwork with lamictal. You just have to start with a small dose in case you get the rash. I've been taking lamictal for several years.
Thanks for this!

I’m okay. Thanks for asking.
I’m mostly feeling worn out. The death fog.
I haven’t really processed “my” loss yet. I’ve been taking care of everyone else. But I’m already at the smile and remember the good stuff part so I think I’ll be okay when the time comes.
Having already lost the 2 most influential people in my life I’m kinda numb to death.

I watched my gram go through it. It broke her. Was very hard to watch.
My good friend lost her 3 month old. It was BAD.
I don’t think I’d survive that kind of loss.
My moms passing almost killed me and that’s “natural”.
Death sucks

I found the image im going to use for my book. Now I just need to edit it with MS Word somehow. I have to go through a different process with kindle ebook, but I think that will be easy. The image will only cost me 12 bucks!

I also have to write something on the back of the book, maybe a short vignette about it, right? That's normal right?

I have 3 relatives, my bestest, a childhood friend who won't speak to me anymore, and my bf. I don't know if I could ever recover from losing any one of them. I couldn't survive the loss of my bf. So I hope I go first.
