    Still dealing with the side effects of the prozac, the 7th will be a month on the medication. If I don't start turning a corner by then I'm calling it quits and switching to something else for the ocd. Other than that, mom's passed out drunk on the floor at 2pm here and my dad is threatening to kick both of us out of the house. So nothing new there I guess. Been trying to convince my mom to just divorce my dad but how are we going to afford a lawyer? Absolutely bonkers one needs to even be involved in the first place.

    Been thinking maybe being homeless wouldn't be the worst thing to ever happen to me. In a sick way it'd help because I wouldn't be means tested as hard on a welfare claim because I would have nothing to my name. But then again it is winter, I wouldn't know where to go, the police might lock me up, and I know for a fact I'd start drinking again.

        Thanks. Yeah that's why I'm giving it the month here to see if it's built up enough in my brain to start working. Most days I feel so out of it, dizzy, headache, some confusion and it feels like my depression and OCD have become worse and not better. Right now I'm thinking these are all temporary side effects, hopefully. About my family, idk what to do. The idea of just walking out sounds pretty good, things just keep getting worse here.
