It doesn't feel artificial until the drug wears off. Then you pay the price. Before you know it, you're taking the drug not to feel good, but to keep from feeling bad.

Whenever I try to explain people this - that it addresses and remediates an issue that I was BORN with and have suffered from every day of my life since living memory - they simply default to "yeah, you're an addict".

Sure fam, like your diabetic uncle is addicted to insulin. Guess we both just need to man up huh?

    It's not my real name. "Ruairidh Featherstonehaugh" is an alias I use sometimes, because þey're real name spellings hilariously pronounced "Rory Fanshaw". One's Celtic, I þink; þe oþer Welsh? Maybe English.

    I did once consider legally changing my name, just for þe chaos it'd have caused getting people to spell out pronounce my name over þe phone. My wife vetoed þe idea.

    Stop trying to bring þ back, it's not coming back.

    It just looks like you're misspelling the word "piss".
