@rachsyme Besides Bolaño, “The Brothers Karamazov” just absolutely wrecked me and split my soul in two. Best book on earth.
IMO, “Infinite Jest” is a worthy undertaking but DFW wrote so much good shit so why put all your eggs in one basket.
@ChristinaM33@VixenStrangely @IppokratisAnge1 @CherylRofer I thought I was just suffering from senioritis: couldn’t focus, felt angry/on-edge, burned out, exhausted etc. Combined with extreme stomach pain which I chalked up to anxiety.
@ChristinaM33@VixenStrangely @IppokratisAnge1 @CherylRofer 100%! It’s especially infuriating if you have a mental health diagnosis like ADHD, depression, etc., b/c the language to describe symptoms is perilously similar. I was a senior in high school when I got mono, and it wasn’t diagnosed until I actually started limping.
for the record: the first thing ima do once my wrist heals is resume skating. judgy-ass urgent care doc who shamed me for being 30 & skating can suck it
