What everyone should be really scared of is the unpredictability involved in non-linear systems as they struggle to reach new equilibriums.

Given just how many (very good) politics books have been published this year, it's pretty thrilling to see How Westminster Works figuring so prominently in books-of-the-year lists www.waterstones.com/blog/the-bes...

This is absolutely how I work though the music genre alters depending on the job.

My playlist for concentration is not what works for everyone.

Do I want to join this year’s secret Santa, holiday weight loss challenge, or elf committee?

So, we’re tryouts by Venlafaxin. Apparently, it won’t argue with my other drugs.

I have no experience of this one.

Though, apparently, I’m allergic to Mirtazapine, but I have no recollection of taking it.

My family do, as it turns out, have very clear recollections. 😓🤷🏻‍♀️

For the first time in a long time I am off all antids. Sertraline was making weight loss difficult and, frankly, I’m not depressed.

I was doing really well, but the stress of my partner being ill means my anxiety has spiralled.

Waiting on the dr to work out what I can safely take.
