I am too damn old to be having nightmares about high school by Meris

I had a nightmare last night that I was late to my AP test.* I am 26 years old, I am too old to still be having nightmares about high school. Especially "late to test" ones.

And hello to my new watchers! I'm almost back up to how many watchers I had on FA!

You may have noticed my attempts at traditional art. I'm taking a watercolor class at a local arts center that has been very enjoyable. The teacher is very positive and encouraging, which is nice. It's a great atmosphere for learning. In digital news, I'm going through The Magic Box and learning great techniques. I hope to improve in both in the months to come.

In other news, I've been dealing with some health issues that finally look to be under control. I was diagnosed with PCOS last week and started on Metformin. It definitely explains some things, and the mystery rash I've been dealing with for 8 months is clearing now that I'm on medication. Unfortunately, the Metformin has been making me feel like crap, but I've been feeling progressively less like crap every day. So progress? Yay?

Also I have a Skype now. Not entirely sure how this works, but my name is Meris Moth if anyone wants to add me. Please tell me your name here first or I probably won't accept it.

*It was Calculus, which in reality I showed up to on time and passed with flying colors, if anyone was curious.

    I'm 25 in October and I still have nightmares about High school too. Especially the kind where you find out you've been attending the wrong class all semester and now have to take a final in a class you never knew you had (for me it was AP French II- I was actually a Latin student IRL though so I actually woke up from my dream crying and felt really stupid for getting so upset.)

    I think it's cause that time of my life was pretty much 90% stress, 6% dealing with stress successfully, and 4% breakdowns.

    And hooray for meds helping! I hope you continue to feel less like crap. :D

      Lol I've had those too.

      Untreated depression and anxiety made high school hell, I'm surprised I lasted through it.

      Thanks, me too! Yay for feeling less crap.

          Hormones and teenage moodiness, ugh

          Sometimes it just actually is depression

    I'm 26 in a month, and I still have dreams about marching band! Not as recurring as they used to be, but definitely still there. I've kinda learned by now that you know I really like you if you end up in one of my band dreams, lol. I don't guess they're nightmares, really (more kind of like a sad wistful thing-- the plot is always the same, that is, I show up to my old band hall and all my old friends are there, asking me why I quit before I graduated (I actually didn't, in real life, haha), and I never know what to say, but then my director lets me break the rules and play with everyone and it's just like old times). But it's still interesting. I wonder if these things ever really go away...?

      I don't think I've ever had a positive dream about high school, but I definitely have had people who shouldn't be there show up!

    I regularly have dreams about screwing up college semesters, usually having forgotten to attend a class I registered for and, of course, have long since missed the deadline to withdraw. THE PANIC.

    I'm glad you were able to pin down your diagnosis for PCOS. Metformin is supposed to be an absolute miracle drug. My doctor refuses to prescribe it because I don't want children...? Like, dude, do you think I don't want to stop feeling like ass just because I don't want children? THE PCOS IS STILL A PROBLEM MAN

    Hope it keeps getting better!

      What? Diabetes and permanent organ damage are worth risking because you don't want kids?! WTF? Your doctor is shitty, I'd find a new one.

        I think the doctor is just surprised that someone with a uterus doesn't want to reproduce. :V She also gave me Yaz without scheduling regular checkups and was completely blasé that my blood pressure went up 45 points in three weeks. I think she wants to kill me ¯_(ツ)_/¯ So yes, I'm looking for a new doctor, haha.

          good, holy crap

          Sorry to be so blunt about it, but I work in medical administration and that is just flat out unacceptable
