- quiet_head_qi — the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment, ymmv 19:33
- quiet_head_qi — nobody says you took the easy way about a blood pressure tablet, and i keep that sentence ready for when i need it 19:34
- quiet_head_qi — follow up the dose escalation nerves, does anyone have a routine that helps with them 20:40
