Have you noticed the slight difference of how it effects you?

I am only 3 weeks in and easing myself into it, ie not taking it every day just yet. I started with taking it in the mornings. I had issues with feeling sleepy and having no energy. I switched to evenings and the sleepiness and no energy disappeared.

I just find it genuinely fascinating.

Anyone else?

I am just, very slowly, getting on prozac. It so far has been very helpful in evening out my mood swings. I take it early in the morning.

The only downside that I am noticing is how sleepy it makes me/low energy I get on the days that I do take it. Is this sth that anyone else noticed and did it change with time?

What we see in media are MAGA either being highly uneducated, poor, aggressive, obese etc or the other spectrum being 1% richie rich. Most/all white.

I am asking because it seems so deeply unfathomable to me to keep supporting MAGA esp at this stage and yet, clearly, they exist. Who are these people?

EDIT: thank you for all the replies, I do appreciate them. I was hoping for some real life experiences and this has so far been super informative.

My flavour of peri is violent mood swings (wake up with severe anxiety, cry by lunch time, depression by night), low energy, forgetfulness and night sweats. What I am beginning to realise, however, is that I, somewhere amongst all this, stopped being able to experience joy.

I am not sure if I ever really, truly, deep down, was happy. But at least I could find joy in my life. Sometimes in silly things, sometimes in moments, sometimes in seemingly mundane, sometimes in going through life's highs. There has always been some hope, something to look forward to, dream about, just pleasure and joy.

These days? Nothing. For example, I recently got a new laptop. I love my Macs but I am frugal (or simply, in the past, poor) and don't get them often (usually try to ride them out for at least five years). So getting one has always been one of those things that I really looked forward to and just loved enjoying the new one for days. Riding high on just using it.

This week I got a new one and nothing. It is great, bigger, faster, cool colour and all. I feel nothing. Nada.

This does end at some point, right? Because this can't be me forever.

Master's in Education from one of the world's top universities, about to start a PhD in Education this fall at a top university. However, I am location independent and wanted to live and work in SEA while doing it.

I am British but with a name that does not sound English. 10+ experience of working in a university sector in different mostly senior management capacities.

No Chinese/Mandairn.

How realistic is it to get a job at a university in HK/Beijing? I was thinking of just sending an email to faculty members that align with my background and introducing myself. Or would this be considered inappropriate? Are there any specific job sites I should be looking at?
