Been dealing bad prednisone withdrawals for about a month now. Something I’ve been doing a lot is going to the movies with my bowl. I can’t describe how healing it is to be in the theater thinking clearly and thanking God for how much better things are getting.
Recently on my birthday lost my dog and had a bad allergic reaction to a mystery cookie on my birthday. Two hospital trips later and I got put on a short burst of high doses of prednisone. Since then, I’ve been going through the toughest time of my life. The withdrawals from the drug caused horrible, intense, and constant anxiety. But over time things have been getting better, hard but insanely better, I’ve really hit a turning point. This post might seem corny but I don’t care, I’m very friend and so happy because for the past few minutes I didn’t think about anxiety at all, not even in the back of my mind. I go to college for film and I love movies. I’ve found myself going to the movie theater almost every night with my bowl. It’s been the weirdest but most spiritual and triumphant highs I’ve ever had. Sitting in the theater, thinking clearly, feeling true hope, praying, and hearing god comfort me. I’m just so happy, this has been the hardest time of my life. And I feel it finally coming to an end. I don’t care if it comes back a little bit at all. I know I can get through it again and I’m grateful for this moment.
EDIT: Also side note stay far away from prednisone.
