Full disclosure, I did'nt read the entire report, bc it's a LOT.
BUT this is very hopeful!!!
"Based on our studies here and previous reports by others, antihistamine drugs could be utilized both as early prophylactic interventions to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection and as late therapeutic countermeasures to mitigate long-term COVID-19 symptoms."

HOES DEPRESSED
by THOT SQUAD
"I'm not. I take my meds!"
Really, really, really funny and really, really, really dumb cheer-based hip hop. Perfect for me.
This is your semi-regular reminder that the meds only work if you take them.
Thanks to all for replies and @'s lately. I'll get to responding. But I've been brain-drained and exhausted. I spent the last few days learning what it feels like when you can't get your Zoloft refill and you end up going without the meds for 4 days. It is very weird and not fun. Antidepressant-withdrawal is no joke. Finally got meds back in me 11 hours ago and am starting to feel better. But good golly miss molly I am TIRED.
It is 7:30 p.m. and I just realized that I failed to take any of my meds today. Don't be like me, y'all. #TakeYourMeds.
And while I have you all here, let your tongue drop from the roof of your mouth, let your shoulders drop away from your ears, take some big deep belly breaths, and go drink some water.
Today #selfcare looked like starting pride off with a little raw honesty. And an almond Snickers bar.
What did it look like for you?
It is 5:13 p.m., and I have just now taken my morning meds. Oops.
Y'all best do as I say, not as I do.

Thus far, I have remembered to take all of my pills today. Have you?
Today #selfcare looked like a visit with Dr. John and an afternoon with a little Binding of Isaac.
What did it look like for you?
Today #selfcare looked like picking up meds, seeing some friends, Pokémon Go with Dorian, Dutch Bros, and comics.
What did it look like for you?
I like taking my meds.
My meds keep me healthy.
I like being healthy.
#TakeYourMeds
granted this is personal experience at the moment and is shifting
obesity in my case was a symptom of a Need to conceal my true self
my lifelong obesity has an intricate tie to mental health issues related to denial of identities
while unresolvable, #mHealth at least is being transmuted from absolutely detrimental to potentially useful (i.e. traumatic suggestibility being used to instil healthful habits (#TakeYourMeds #DrinkYourWater) and dissociation as pain mgmt)
Hypervigilence kept noticing every detail for a threat. Now, it just keeps me from going too wild even i start flowing with words, keeps me pointed towards kindness and sincerity. It’s a guide, not an infinite set of klaxons.
Trauma also has high suggestibility to hypnosis as a mark. Trauma patients are the most suggestible cohort. Detrimental if others exploit, but beneficial if you can get yourself to easily believe and believe in things that are helpful for you, like #TakeYourMeds is fun.
We are sick, fucked up, and complicated, and that's okay.
