I wish I could get a little medal every time I forcibly override my OCD and do the Bad™️ aka entirely normal thing for anyone else but something that near paralyses you for much longer than it realistically should, so you have a monumental internal battle just to do the normal thing, perfectly unremarked upon by anyone else in the entire world, and you do it and it's fine but it took so much and now you're exhausted...

Anyway, here's your medal for doing that something: 🎖️

I've got to stop letting myself do "just a little thing for my mental health"...

Rot in bed all day?
- yes, just a little bed rot for my depression!

Eat nothing but chips all day?
- yes, just 19 little packs of chips as self care!

Ignore uni work and play Salt & Sacrifice all day?
- definitely, it's for my mental health don't ya know!

MY THERAPIST TOLD ME TO BE GENTLE WITH MYSELF AND NOW I'M TURNING INTO A CURSED TRASH GOBLIN WHO HASN'T SEEN SUNLIGHT IN 4 DAYS

Yes, I know this isn't what she meant

This post is 98.4% Shit Post, and I'm mostly being sensible about all this

@ikonha is an MD, and is excited about N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) zeroes.ca/@ikonha/114804250543 for Long COVID mitigation and more

And - wow, I see why! The mechanisms of action in this paper relate to lots of LC and ME/CFS data!

You know the evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction in LC?

Mitochondrial resilience
Neurogenesis-inducing ability reduces apoptosis of mitochondria

LC persistent infection reservoirs, and re-activation of latent viruses?

Antiviral properties
Immune modulation, anti-NF-KB properties, and other unexplored mechanisms

SARS-CoV-2 is an endothelial disease?

Vascular endothelial growth factor
Inhibition of vascular permeability as seen in human keratinocytes.

Fatigue which in some cases responds to ATP donors like creatine?

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nitric oxide (NO) production
Increased ATP production in some cells like fibroblasts in vitro. Increased nitric oxide production as demonstrated in human studies

Rapid organ or system senescence (aging)?

Some have suggested that cysteine deficiency as we age is responsible for loss of youth and loss of health and quality of life and contributes to sarcopenia

all pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/ , and

Combined treatment with the α2A-adrenoceptor agonist, guanfacine, and the anti-oxidant, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) reduced the cognitive deficits (“brain fog”) associated with long-COVID19 in eight out of twelve patients.

I don't have time to go any deeper down this rabbit hole right now - but hopeful stuff!

zeroes.caHannu Solo, MD (@ikonha@zeroes.ca)Uhh calling all #LongCOVID, #OCD, and other folks: Source: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8211525/ A more recent review of current evidence is in agreement with the effect of NAC on various psychiatric conditions [128]. One of the mechanisms for the benefit is improvement on mitochondrial resilience against stress [12]. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (Level of Evidence= A) An RCT using NAC as an adjuvant with the use of fluoxetine showed significant improvement in the NAC group in the treatment of moderate-to-severe obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) [132]. Another RCT using NAC as an adjuvant with the use of citalopram in children and adolescents showed significant improvement in resistance/control compulsions [133].

Have I ever used generative AI for writing an assignment?
No.

Am I constantly terrified that I'm going to get a charge of academic misconduct for using AI for writing an assignment?
Absolutely.
