The Frowny Face. ☹️

I went through it. Peri/True/Post. Years and years without diagnosis. Then when I was finally trying to get my shit together, they (two male doctors and one very young female nurse practitioner) said I can't be on meds because of BP and a recent enjoyment of stress vaping. (The least, if any, nicotine.). And this was only because I the "real doctor" was referred to cancelled every appointment I had til it was nearly 10 months from the original one.

Anyhoo. I have this face. Yes, I'm going through things. And I try to keep it up for the majority, but what is up with the frowning? Like, I remember when we were young and they said it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile. And maybe that's why I did look so young for so long. Or maybe it was the constant tears from depression that softened my face outside of the Oil of Olay I started in my late teens...

I just can feel it. Like I'm just so sad? Disgusted? Unhappy? Scared? Doesn't help I'm watching Johnny Got His Gun right now. But even when I delve into the brainless reality shows. I can't stop it. Am I alone?

EDIT - My people! I appreciate your responses, understanding, condolences, and shared experience. I truly believe it is mostly GENX that is bringing a huge awareness that it sucks balls and we're not going to take it anymore!!! ✊🏼 🤬

There are currently FOUR Harrison Ford movies playing at the moment. Is there something I should be worried about?

What's up with Bulldog?

Drove by today and saw white paper in the windows. Are they painting it something other than a bingo hall white, or are they done for?
