Me: *Looks around* "Dammit! I've fucked up and now it's time to fix everything. No more extremely slow downward spiral for me!" *cracks knuckles*
My Depression/Anxiety: *Perks eyebrow* "Really? Are you sure you want to do that?"
Me: "Yes, motherfuckers! My brain isn't some place where you can camp out and run self-destructive programming for free! I'm tired of sleeping all day, not taking my pills--which can make me sick--and not being productive! I have stuff I need to do!"
D/A: "Uh, no, you don't! You have other stuff that's more fun! Besides, chores and responsibility are boring and lame; you'll be boring and lame if you do them, and they're not fun in an ironic sense!"
Me: "LIESSSS!!! I have dishes to do, a living room to clean up, a bathroom to scrub clean.... I have to start now!"
D/A: "No, your inner Lazy Dalek says that you can do it later, following it up with repeated chanting of 'PROCRASTINATE! PROCRASTINATE!' Plus, isn't it lonely? You don't have many fr--"
Me: "SILENCE! I shall be productive today! Not later--TODAY!!!"
D/A: "Crap! Uh, uh....! Hey, Attention Deficit Disorder! A little help here?"
ADD: "Hey, look! SHINY! *points*"
Me: "OOOOHHH! SHINY! *scamper-chases*"
D/A: "TROLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!"
That's a sort-of typical conversation that led to me to a lot of unmedicated days of sleeping, nights staying up until 6 am EDT, and not even following through on plans that can help me be Pro-Eden.
Pro-WAAAAAAAT?
Yeps. Pro-Eden, meaning helping me make positive changes towards my life. How come? Go listen to the Pro You Podcast on the Nerdist Podcast Network! Episode I, Inertia--the Real Phantom Menace, should explain everything, and help you start on your way towards better awareness, and, ultimately, a better lifestyle.
It's because of this podcast that I've decided to get going with my climb up Mt. Molehill; I've even gone so far as to not refer to workouts as "workouts," but as "Pro You Moments". I've been tweeting with their Twitter account, and been giving updates with my progress. Here's a couple of the latest ones that I sent them recently (before this blog post):
I just took initiative to have another #ProYouMoment: checked out Planet Fitness for a possible gym membership! #EVALUATE @proyoupodcast

Seriously, this podcast is awesome, especially after all the talking is done, when Tom (one of the hosts) gives you a chillaxing Pro You Moment, where you can meditate with food for thought.
Beyond that, some other stuff happened, which I will update in another blog post, one that I'll publish once I've stopped yanking my hair out over Artist's Block, aaand, for the most part, being like this:
In any case, be consistent (especially with medications), be aware, and ENJOY YOUR TACQUITO!!!!
