Brain = Good

I missed you guys! Topa the WONDER DRUG,  turned my brain to utter shit. My inability to grasp words was unbelievable. I could not complete the simplest thoughts.

"Uhhh...." was practically every word out of my mouth. And so was fuck. I said fuck a lot, just to fill in the gaps.

When I said something incoherent, friends would just laugh and say "awww zen".... I guess they thought it was so cute, my being partially brain dead and all. 


I tried for the longest time to rationalize it. Besides, I still had my looks. Maybe I could just be an airhead... why not? My sister is one, and guys think she's adorable.

Unfortunately, being adorable didn't work for me. When I'd open my mouth to speak, people thought I was retarded. An adorable little retard.

I stopped taking Topa last week. Recuperation is officially underway. I can already feel my snark and wit slowly emerging.

Sadly though, my sensation of hunger has returned and I no longer have any food aversion. The free ride is over...  I'm back to actually putting an effort into losing weight.

I've finally accepted the dreaded fact, that the ability to form complete sentences must take precedent over my lovely Topa.

Apparently, having an IQ is a necessity. Not fair.

xoxo,
zen

  1. I missed you sooooooooooooooooooo much. What's new over on your end? How is your sister and her shenanigans? And your shenanigans? Please tell me there have been cheeky shenanigans.


    My drugs give me the dumb, too. I also quit them temporarily. Why must all good things kill braincells? Sigh.

    Hope you'll get back posting new adventures soon!

  15. Miss you, girly. I totally feel you on the Topa. I haven't taken it regularly for about a month (though I have taken it a few random times in desperation, thinking that it would help me stop all this fucking bingeing...) and though my hair is still thinning slightly, I like to think I can see a slight improvement since I stopped taking that damned drug. I still...God...I still want to take SOMEthing to help me with this. It's gotten out of control. I'm SO fat, Zen. So fat. I've gained back nearly everything I lost on the Topa. It's horrible. I can't figure out how to get back to where I was before with my restriction. Ugh. Sorry for the downer...Mostly wanted to say that I missed you desperately, and it's good to read stuff from you.

  16. Same thing with me and the topa :( also i was basically exhausted all the time...and i could no longer rationalize spending money on it cause i was broke.

    it was nice not feeling hunger and everything, but in all honesty, i'm kind of glad to be back to just regular old effortful starvation. feels like you're working at it, feels more real. ah i really sound so fucked up right there, sorry!

    glad you're back, so am i, missed this place!
