Copia x Reader

Copia comforts a young reader who has been diagnosed with anxiety, PTSD and depression. Don't @ me yes I'm projecting. It's 5.30 am and I have to get up soon and I've slept three hours, been up since 2 😭😭😭👍 I need something to keep me going ig aufh

not beta read, written on mobile adnanssnd

TW: Depictions of mental illness. Trauma mentions. Medication/pills mention.

Sitting on the edge of your bed looking at the white sheet of paper, you tried not to cry. The words stared back at you, the looming threat of a diagnosis you'd chased for years crawling down your throat. The shame of seeing your birth name, being marked as the wrong gender on your medical documents.

Main st. Resource Center

Patient: [name], aged 19, female

Diagnosis: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)

Appointment notes: Return in one month to discuss labs and new medication.

You sigh deeply, looking at the prescription bottle in your other hand. Lexapro, 10 mg., it read.

It takes all the self control in your body not to hurl the medication across the room, to watch the lid pop off with force, sending pills scattering across the room.

Your hands shake as you set the paper down on your nightstand, the medication bottle with it. You bury your face in your hands, tears threatening to spill; but you resist the urge. You have no tears left to cry. There is nothing left to mourn.

You felt so irreparably broken.

You'd spent years dreaming about this day. The day you finally got help. The day you finally felt safe. You should feel relieved, overjoyed, something. But you weren't.

You don't remember the drive home. You'd been on autopilot, taking roads you knew well, playing your favorite songs quietly on the radio. But you didn't sing along. How could you?

You were scared. Still are. What nineteen year old gets diagnosed with so many mental illnesses? Barely old enough to vote, too young to drink; and still, completely and totally fucked from the start.

It was frustrating. All the shit you went through- the deaths, the funerals, the accidents, the trauma- but you were traumatized long before any of that even occurred. No, your PTSD was caused by the only people sworn to protect you; your very own parents.

Years of emotional and physical abuse left you scarred. Afraid. Panic attacks constantly crawling up your back, a looming threat that never seemed to leave. Flashbacks that would leave you frozen in place, a cruel reminder of what happened. Nightmares that have you waking in a panic, the dream fading quickly but the pain lingering for long after.

You don't know what to do.

You flinch when your bedroom door is thrown open without so much as a knock, Copia walking in. "Ah, sorella, there you are. How- oh, dolcezza... what is the matter?" The bed dips next to you as he takes a seat, his voice soft and gentle. "Did the appointment not go as you'd hoped?"

You pass him the paper, which he reads quickly. His face softens. "What did they prescribe for you?" You pass him the bottle, and he takes it gingerly in his hands. "Ah... Lexapro..." he murmurs softly. "Si, I am familiar with this one. I take it myself." Your eyes slicker upwards, and he meets your gaze as he returns the bottle to you. "You have nothing to fear. It will take some getting used to. You will struggle to rest for a little while, but do not worry. I will be here to lull you to sleep." He wraps an arm around your shoulders, pulling you against him as he kisses the top of your head.

"You will be okay, tesoro. This I can promise."

sometimes i feel insane like is depression meant to be this insane and eat at you this much everyday in some way. sometimes i have to think something more has to be wrong with me and this cannot just be normal depression and anxiety. but it probably is and im just looking for excuses for my bad behaviors and feelings. i wish so bad i knew and also i think i'm gonna ask my doctor next time we meet to up my dosage bc doc i don't think the 10 mg of Lexapro cuts it anymore in fact I don't think it was ever enough in the first place. I think I need more please god or some other prescription I know I should go to therapy too but I'm too scared can you just give me more medication until I can actually find the will to help myself. Please. God. Please. I can't fucking stand living this way every year it just gets worse and worse and worse and worse and worse it has been getting worse for basically half my life. When the fuck does it ever get better man. When the hell does it ever get better. When does living become worth it. When. WHEN.

It’s been so long since I’ve written. I’ve kept a paper journal that I’ve been writing in since I last posted here. It’s helped, but for some reason the outlet isn’t the same, I’m not sure why.

Anyways, I’m separated from my wife, we tried poly and she realized she was more into women so she started dating her best friend and yeah. It sounds weird, but it’s honestly fine. This was in January, I’m over it and we are still very close as friends. I started dating a girl, L. It was a poly relationship, she had a girlfriend, M, when we started dating and everything was so great.

She broke up with me yesterday.

It was a short yet intense relationship, I feel very lonely and empty right now. I always become so dependent on my partners that when I’m left alone I just am left with this emptiness as I lose the identity I took on from my partner. I’m left with this inadequate and useless shell of a person when I’m alone. I miss her so much, even though she wasn’t that great to me. She was often rude to me and less caring about me than M. I understand this was likely for the best, but I can’t help but feel so broken.

I imagine it is less about losing her specifically and more about losing the identity I had been building, the foundation for my sense of self that I had been developing through the medium of our relationship. I started smoking cigarettes again, my taste in beer changed, I stopped seeing my friends, I just changed, a lot. I never felt like I had to for her, I just have such a weak sense of self that when I am with someone, I, on instinct, absorb their personality into mine and build myself around them. As a result, when I lose my partner I lose myself.

Obviously this isn’t healthy, but it’s behavior I’ve had all my life. I’m going to talk to my therapist more about it tomorrow. I’m looking forward to the session, I need it.

I feel so listless and bored and lonely. I don’t have any desire to do anything in particular. I have to force myself to eat and to bathe. I don’t even want to sleep. I just want to not exist for a little while. Not forever, just maybe a month or two.

Something like that.

I know I need to hold off on dating, for a long time. I need to develop my sense of self and grow on my own before I allow someone else into my life. But it’s so difficult. I’m too reliant on other people, I need that comfort, that companionship. I crave it so desperately. It’s all I want. To be held in someone’s arms. To have someone to come home to. To feel loved and wanted.

I don’t know.

I upped my dosage on my anti depressants again as well. 300 mg of Welbutrin and 10 mg of Lexapro. It seems to be helping more so, but it still isn’t quite enough. My room is a reflection of that. I have no energy or motivation.

I’m talking in circles at this point.

I just don’t know what to do or where to go.

I’m lost.

I think I need to make one of my twice-a-year pharmacy runs when I pick up my new prescription, which is a bummer, bc I always seem to end up spending like $80

#i always think i’ll do better this time #and then i have to pick up like #shampoo and conditioner #and hair ties and three different vitamins and four different assorted otc medications #and suddenly i’ve dropped half a paycheck at fckin walgreens #atrocious! #I WAS GOING TO CUT BACK ON SOME VITAMINS #BC THEY DON’T MAKE ME FEEL ANY DIFFERENT #but my iron was low again at my last blood test #which is probably just bc i was at the end of week two of my period #but still has me like uGH i guess i do need it #irritating #may as well stay on them while i’m at home and have the extra money #i can live the broke millennial life when i get there #also worked it out and i’m gonna be three days off my lexapro #so uh we’ll see how that goes #i’m only taking 10 mg right now and i think it’s slightly helping? #so my hope is that she can bump that up a bit #i’m just fingers crossed i don’t have to split it bc historically i’m rlly bad at remembering morning meds

[winwxn]

i just wanna mention that i take three meds for my mental health (lexapro & wellbutrin every day, and inderal as needed) and how important these drugs are to me at this point. I would not be able to do most things without these. I don’t think i would be this far in my education without these. lexapro has helped my anxiety and depression so much and wellbutrin helps me stay awake throughout the day (usually anyway lol), and inderal calms my anxiety down a LOT during specific events. i completely understand that these meds and meds in general aren’t for everyone but i’m content with my meds at this point.

However, today I was meeting with my ‘med doctor’ as i call him and he suggested going up to 30mg of lexapro (10 mg over the ‘max dose’). he prefaced that the FDA doesn’t approve this much due to the possibility of a heart condition developing. I have a family history of heart conditions but nothing too close to me personally (parents, siblings, me) so i will be going up to 30mg. he also said i could get an EKG done to calm my nerves before we move up, but i said it was fine. i hope this brings me out of this little rut i’m currently in, but who knows.

Take 40 mg of Celexa Take .5 mg of Xanax whenever needed Try Serequel No, don’t do that, and no more Celexa Take .5 to 1 mg of Klonopin instead of the Xanax (Xanax is good for about 4 hours, then it wears off, but Klonopin lasts for 8 to 12 hours, so you’ll feel better, and you’ll sleep again too) Take 10 mg of Lexapro, then titrate up to 20 mg — this replaces the Celexa Try Abilify, just 10 mg Try Abilify again, just 5 mg Try Abilify one more time, just 2.5 mg Stop taking the Abilify Take Gabapentin; you’ll go from 300 mg to 600 mg Take 2 mg of Rexulti Try Wellbutrin Take Wellbutrin in the morning, and take everything else at night Take 450 mg of Wellbutrin Never mind, try 300 mg of Wellbutrin Actually, let’s do 150 mg of Wellbutrin For the decrease in libido, take horny goat weed and ginkgo biloba, maca is fine too, but start with horny goat weed To combat excessive drooling, hypersomnia, and flat affect, ween off of the Gabapentin To relieve tremors and homicidal ideation, titrate off of the Rexulti — please know that there might be withdrawals, including heart palpitations and sweating from breaking fevers Have you heard of Latuda? Let’s start with 20 mg of Latuda The pharmacy said you owed them $65 for 7 pills?! Here: Take the 20 mg sample then the 40 mg sample then the 60 mg sample You might need to take the 120 mg sample, but be sure to cut it in half Tell me if you ever feel restless, nervous, or confused Your insurance may or may not cover this I have to prove that you need this, that it’s really working No, we don’t work with Medicaid Never have and probably never will Anyway...

2, 3, 11, 14, 15, 23, 29, 35? Sorry, I'm curious!

Lol no worries! I’m actually quite flattered you’re this curious about me!! :D

2. Kinda both? I’m not in any romantic relationships atm, but I do have a few fwb’s (friends with benefits) that are fun and awesome!

3. I’ll do my *best* to keep this brief, especially because I have so many things to rant about! I don’t think people are entitled to have pets. Some people are just not worthy of them and I’m sick of animals suffering for it. I don’t give a fuck how much they care about it, if they don’t have the space (think guinea pig or rabbit especially) to take care of an animal, they shouldn’t take on the responsibility of primary guardian and caretaker. There are so many points I could go off on here, but I’ll leave it at that.

11. I can recall massive amounts of precise information at a moment’s notice. My brain’s always been set up to receive, process, and retain facts and theories and it’s something I’m so incredibly proud of and grateful for.

14. That depends! If I need something sweet and sugary, then it’s the campfire s’mores from Caribou Coffee with dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Otherwise, I just like light roast black coffee.

15. If I’m safe now. I am, and it’s very sweet of everyone to ask!

23. Waking up on time and then staying in bed until I’m late.

29. Oof I have so many of these!! I should have made my rant about this lol! The stupid fucking meme that shows a picture of a pretty landscape and says, “This is an anti-depressant” then shows a bottle of Prozac and says, “This is a drug addiction.” How about no and then shut the fuck up? I LOVE hiking and backpacking, but it ain’t doing shit for my neurotransmitter imbalance. That’s where 10 mg of escitalopram (generic Lexapro) comes in!

35. It’s wherever you make it. I’ve made a home under a bridge, on someone’s couch, and now in a house I own. You can make a home, even if it’s a couple knick-knacks on a nightstand or a little smiley on the wall of your cell/ room and that’s your only home. Home is a place you go to be safe.

[shudyinghard]

I guess this is where I’m putting the personal stuff

- I got my Wellbutrin dose updated to 300 mg from 150 mg; it’s pretty good for days I’m up early, but has a bad habit of making me sleep later and needing more sleep after. So I sometimes slip in 150 mg for days I know won’t be as intense. (But no matter how bad it is, it’s not as bad as Lexapro. Neutral-mood my ass). 

- I got Ativan, for emergencies, because ‘i don’t seem like the kind to abuse the addictive qualities’ which is, on one hand, totally fair because i am the boringest person alive, and on the other hand a terrible risk whoops. I’m pretty bad about using it when I need it tho. 

- I might have had a hypomanic episode. Again. Sometimes I think my anxiety and stress triggers really bad nights / days. Usually it’s fine because $100 at Sephora (even though I don’t use any of it) isn’t terrible; but occasionally it’s a trip to another city or major expenses I have to make up excuses for. $600 on dog treats is not okay, and neither is a $900 ticket to a city that I miss. 

- I haven’t told my doctor about the hypomanic episodes yet. I guess I think it’s easier to just be unipolar because, most of the time, that’s what I am. I’m so fucking depressed. 

- I made an appointment for an IUD consultation. I’m not, nor am I planning on ever becoming, sexually active. But my friend used to have 10 day heavy nightmare periods and hers are completely gone (or just 1 day) now. And I want that. 

- I think I want to get rid of my period all together because I.... it’s complicated and gender is a weird thing but I don’t really think of myself as a woman? Or I guess I don’t really think of myself as cis-female. I hate performing femininity. I hate being looked at as a woman (though I guess my anger/anxiety vibes take care of that). I would say I’m agender, or a demigirl, but that’s so complicated and fuck I just think it’s easier as a woman of colour. I’m already not a consumable minority, I don’t need another thing.

Entry 3- Nov 21, 2018

Dear friend,

I had a long day. Filled with many ‘activities.’ I first had to deal with my psychiatrist, who kept telling me that I need to do things that make me happy. Like what? When I sit in my room with the lights on, I wear my headphones and listen to music for a while. When I could, I would drink alcohol until the music made me feel like I was high. That’s dumb to even state when I drink, but it’s true. When I listen to any kind of Lana Del Rey song, I want a beer or a joint. Anyway, I told my psychiatrist what I liked to do and she told me I need to do something else, such as read a book, write in a journal, go outside, or play a board game. Hell, even draw. I don’t want to though. What fun is that?

After that mess, I ended up trailing off outside with this guy named Richard. He seemed alright, I guess. He told me how to sneak things in without getting caught, but I don’t have a person to do that. He’s in here because he’s suffering from some form of PTSD and his suicidal thoughts. I can tell he’s hurting. I can see it in his eyes. The way he talks with his fidgity hands and the way he averts his eyes.

God. I just miss my best friends. I need someone that’s stable. Why is this happening to me? Why can’t I just go back to being normal? What happened to me? Why can’t I put my finger on this?

With Love,

Stanley Marsh

PS. I forgot to mention that my psychiatrist prescribed me with 25 mg of visatril, to help me sleep, and 10 mg of Lexapro. 

PSS. I also forgot to say that after meeting up with Richard, I went to my room and the nurse said that a redhead named Kyle dropped by. She couldn’t find me, so Kyle left. I wish he would have just waited. Who knows if he’ll even come back...

Stable Summer Sammy

So good news, and bad news...

The good news is -- I had a CT scan on Wednesday and yesterday I got a message with results, and my tumors are STABLE!  

The bad news is -- turns out this isn’t tumor weight.

Let’s catch y’all up to speed.

For the past few months I have been doing okay.  We have been house hunting in the worst market in history (vomit) and trying to make our current space less of a mess and more of what we need to be happy (yay).  The limbo we are living in is KILLING me and Owen and we’re lucky we have some great days to balance out this stress (and his home theatre in the unfinished basement seems to be helping him, just a little). 

I have been very anxious and my restless legs have been horrible. For those who have never experienced, I don’t even know how to describe the discomfort -- but imagine you have an ache that is so consuming you need to tend to it constantly, while you’re trying to lay still.  It’s kept me up til 2 or later many nights this spring.  So, I have been taking 10 mg of Lexapro, and recently upped my ropinirole for the RLS (I’m still on a very low dosage, as it’s a serious med, but this seems to be helping).  I also got a medical marijuana card and started trying a CBD/THC tincture to help with anxiety.  (Three cheers for legal weed!)  Unfortunately, I do NOT have that sorted out and can’t figure out a way to be less anxious and not high as a kite (at totally unpredictable times, like the next day), so this is probably not my go-to solution.

On May 24th (Charlie’s fourth birthday), I had my 15th Lanreotide injection.  How insane is that?  Next Monday, June 21st, I should have my 16th injection.  I didn’t get the call yet - but usually that happens on Fridays.  Med delivery on Sundays, someone comes out to the house on Mondays, all good for four more weeks.  Still no serious side effects from the meds and no major pain (except that day usually).  However, I do get this weird phantom pain the days leading up to the next injection -- which is super bizarre.  But if I’ve learned anything during my medical struggles is that nothing about the human body isn’t bizarre.  Especially mine.  

Wednesday was the last “asynchronous” day of the year and after “school,” I had my CT scan in Valley Forge.  I love my tech there, and hope she and I have a long, every three month relationship -- haha.  

Yesterday, I had my monthly bloodwork at Labcorp (which has not happened since I returned to in-person teaching, even though it’s on the way home from school, because I am incapable of functioning on any sort of schedule anymore because of covid).  Everything was fine(ish) -- some levels a little above average, some a little below, but overall, good.

At 2:45 today, I have a presurgical consult/appointment with Abington OBGYN regarding some lady part issues I have been having.  Last month, I had a endometrial hysteroscopy and they saw some questionable (non cancerous, they think) things, so on June 30th, I will have a Hysteroscopic endometrial polypectomy (I think?) to remove polyps, fibroids, tissue, whatever.  I am going to request these are all biopsied as well.  Can’t hurt.  Well, I mean, the procedure may hurt...but you get my point.  I’ll update when I have more information about this...adventure. 

Today is the last day of school for us teachers.  It’s been an insane year.  Truly.  I am so thankful for my people and for a job was flexible and manageable (most days) during this pandemic and allowed me to receive the diagnostic and treatment care I needed.  I am super nervous about how to manage life-long cancer when the world goes back to “normal,” and I guess I will see how that works in the fall.  Until then, I can’t wait to spend the summer “living” life “normally” (almost sort of) with the fam and friends.  Lots of love to you all!  <3
