Reply to older person life stuff question, death mention by hollyhoppet

i don't know about a will as in, the document that says who gets what when you die, but I think it's always good to have a living will, which is the document that says what you want health care-wise if you become incapacitated and incapable of answering questions. You never know when that could come in handy -- hopefully never, but if it does, you'd be glad you had it.

depends who your next of kin is really, you have stuff even if you don't have assets per se and you might have wishes on how to be buried/cremated and so on

probably not worth getting a proper big lawyerly one all notarised and such but can't hurt to write a document and keep it in a safe place, if nothing else to make your intentions clear -- even if it's not legally binding hopefully your NOK will follow it.

I was going to say probably 🤪 is a good contender. But there's a lot of great suggestions in this thread.

Also 💦, 🍑 and 🍆 but mostly because when I see them I am disgusted by the context.

yeah prozac disabled my ability to care about anything or anyone, was not a great one for me. tho it did allow me to get like two hours straight of dental work done without really minding it. not worth it though!

i was prescribed it for adhd but couldn't take it longer than 2 weeks before the side effects made me feel worse. dry mouth, appetite suppression, couldn't have caffeine. already had issues with disordered eating so it was not a fun time for me

I had the same kind of experience, I started taking it right as the bad times in my life went to recovery times and I'm not sure if it helped or if it was just things getting better otherwise. No side effects like prozac tho

I've been on it(among other things) for depression and adhd for a while and honestly have never been able to tell whether it actually does anything for me or not lol
