truly homophobic that i FINALLY started to feel physically well again after the past few months, and the universe decided to give me a cold just to keep me on my toes or some shit. iconic

anyways it's been a very good day 😌

mike @rhythmoflosingyou.bsky.social · 3d

SO i bought a more reliable/better quality blood pressure monitor and i can now confirm my pressure is back to a totally normal level, not even slightly above average! and all of the withdrawal stuff seems to have completely disappeared outside of a lil bit of sleeplessness.

i'm so relieved jfc

i really love Nils Frahm, anything from his Screws album is a must imo!

just slightly obsessed with my praise donk hoodie lol

like it COMPLETELY blew every bigger event i've been to this past few years out of the water in terms of how genuinely lovely everybody in the crowd was, the team behind it were so clearly passionate about making the event engaging and queer-inclusive.

i'll stop fawning but i am kinda obsessed

mike @rhythmoflosingyou.bsky.social · 5d

past weekend was incredible. NEED to make it out to more of these chaotic grassroots raves (especially if they have beyblade tournaments and are donk-cult themed)

anyways gm from a very sleepy and very happy mike

on the upside they said if i do it this way it'll be easier to restart tapering off at a faster rate (taking a drink off every 3-4 days or so til i'm down to just one drink. THEN i can start alternating days.

i'm oversharing like a mf but in all honesty this is kinda hopeful stuff for once

mike @rhythmoflosingyou.bsky.social · 8d

turns out my blood pressure is only barely above average, and the issue i'm having is most likely not being triggered by it. it's just a normal type of withdrawal. annoyingly it means i apparently have to drink a bit every single day rather than every two/three which is Not. Ideal. At. All. But alas

mike @rhythmoflosingyou.bsky.social · 8d

been up since 10pm last night, big GP appointment and my dumb ass also booked to see the black phone 2 right after. i am almost certain my brain will become extra smooth by tonight

mike @rhythmoflosingyou.bsky.social · 8d

and a 10-11 twitch stream to premiere a new dj mix. definitely earning my sleep tonight lmao

very thankful that i finally snapped out of my self pity and really intensely pushed to get a GP appointment ASAP this time around. hopefully some sort of proper medical support at least.

really hope i can be fully sober by the end of the year. this shit has been scary. i wanna be over alcohol.

mike @rhythmoflosingyou.bsky.social · 9d

looks like i'm gonna have to restart the tapering off thing again because jfc if this is what i'm like after 4 days then i am DEFINITELY not prepared to go cold turkey yet.

i'll do my best not to use this place to vent about it all the time. i probably need to take some time offline to deal.

mike @rhythmoflosingyou.bsky.social · 9d

okay scratch that. maybe i should stop assuming the hard part's over just because i got one good nights sleep. thank fuck i don't have anything i need to be available for til friday afternoon...

mike @rhythmoflosingyou.bsky.social · 10d

cw: alcohol, addiction

today is the first day that i've not felt a single withdrawal symptom since august. turns out FINALLY catchin up on sleep properly and letting my body rest was what i truly needed.

my sleep pattern is totally fucked, but that'll get fixed in time.
i'm just really thankful rn
