I have had like problems with racing thoughts, irrational conclusions, and just constant worry in general. Like almost every night I have to make sure my cat isn’t in the dryer even if I didn’t use the dryer that day. Or I’m convinced I’m disgusting and useless and did something gross I don’t remember like not flushing the toilet or something. Idk I also make random rules for how I do things and what order and some of it honestly doesn’t make since. Like I have to dye my hair before I take a shower, which then I might as well not change my clothes until I shower, and I have been wearing the same clothes and not showered for over 2 days now because I cant dye my hair until the bathroom is clean, which I’ve been to exhausted to do. Just stupid thought patterns.

Anyway. I finally went to the doctor. I mentioned being anxious before but he asked me this time and I just said I was really emotional and maybe it’s my birth control. I said I used to not be like this but really I used to be able to handle it and I just can’t anymore. He asked me to explain my symptoms and I just started sobbing.

Anyway I’m starting Lexapro and I’m really nervous but also kind of excited because I want these thoughts to slow tf down. I’m so tired of triple checking everything and thinking that I’m going to die. I scored 15 on the GAD thing. Anyway.

I’m more nervous about a behavioral telehealth visit I have coming up. I just think my mind is going to go blank and I’ll have nothing to say and convince myself actually I’m okay and I don’t need this. Idk. I’m going to try tho.

That’s my spiel about my anxiety journey so far. Excited to start Lexapro and hope it helps me. Thanks for reading.

I have a distinct memory of this animated/ 3D ish movie. The man is kind of a villain, he talks slow ish, he is pushing up his glasses. He is wearing a white button up with suspenders in my mind, and his pants frequently fall, he is always pulling them up.

He has black glasses. His hair is brown, a few strands over the top where it is balding.

I can’t remember facial hair. The animation style is like the incredibles.

I can almost picture the whole scene and movie in my head but I can’t remember just enough. Any ideas???

Let’s start with the obvious: Taco Bell.

Back when the Grilled Cheese Steal Burrito first dropped, it was ginormous. I mean, I was double-fisting this burrito, contents spilling out, grew a wet cheesy, saucy beard in the process. To top it off- it was topped with jalapeños (for free). I wish we could go back. Holding one of these beasts in my hands in 2026 makes me feel like my hands have tripled in size, like I somehow had baby hands back when I was ~20.

Now the chicken quesadilla. I remember the obvious cumin flavor in these, it almost hit you in the face, a nice punch. Now, it’s just like 4 shreds of cheese and maybe a bite of chicken. Recently my local Taco Bell has become so lazy they don’t even grill it. To make it worse, it’s almost $9. I wanna throw up.

Now let’s move to McDonald’s and their shameful “snack wraps”. I remember back in the day the only problem with a snack wrap was the occasional weird chewy bit of chicken. Wow, I took that chicken for granted! Half a piece of tender in a whole ass tortilla. This is just sad.

Final boss: subway. You remember those tomato/spinach wraps? Beautiful stuff. Now you can still get a plain tortilla in place of bread. A few years ago, similar to the grilled cheese burritos of taco hell, this wrap was about 16 inch in diameter. Stuffed it was as thick as a football. Now? The width of this “wrap” barely covers the palm of one hand. I HATE IT.

Are there any other fast food items involving tortillas that have extremely disappointed you? Compared to their glory days??
