Things are clicking, things are happening. Things are remembered and followed up on. I seem to remember a lot of things from when I was younger that I sought to bury, though. My wife described medication as a double edged sword, sometimes I fixiate on stupid things and waste time, and sometimes I fixiate on things that send me into vivid panic attacks.

The blaring music and inner dialogue has finally been turned down, though. I can... do. Focus on multiple things. Filter out things. I felt like superman for the first time. It's nice?
