UPDATE 02/18

First I want to thank each and everyone of you reblogged and donated. I greatly appreciate your support ❤️

Some good news : Mikoto’s blood test is much better which means her kidneys are responding :)

As for the kidney stones, they’re still there and they are becoming obstructive :(

The surgery will be programmed sometimes this week I think, unless there’s a miracle and the stones pass by themselves (which is very rare).

I received the bill for all the care she received so far.

It amounts to approximately to 5880$. They want me to pay immediately which is not possible for me.

So please it’s very important that you keep reblogging if you can. Even the smallest amount help me.

I also created a paypal for those of you who can’t donate through gofundme.

Thanks again. 🙏

🚨UPDATE 02/20

⚠️URGENT⚠️

My cat is getting surgery this Friday. The cost is 5500$.

I can’t pay in multiple times since I’m already paying the first bill with this method. So I have to pay in full now.

If you could donate and share I would really appreciate it  🙇

🔴 UPDATE 02/25

Mikoto had her surgery. Everything went fairly well. She had two subs placed on her kidneys. Now we have to wait and see how her kidneys respond.😌

As you can see (video here) she’s lost a lot of weight and is still very weak. But she has begun to eat again and her blood levels are beginning to drop to a correct level (it’ll remain high but she normally still can have a few more years 🤞). 

She’s fighting through it all and she couldn’t have made it so far without your help.

I am grateful for all the donations and support. You are the best. Thank you for helping my Mikoto. 💕 

So far I paid 3640 € ( ~$4132) and I need to pay another 6000 € (give or take). 

For the first bill I have a monthly payment set (1000€ for each month for 3 months) and for the second I already paid 2000€ in full and the rest of the bill is due (in full) for next month. (Ofc you can contact me if you want more details). 

📣 Please keep sharing and donating if you can 📣. The race to save Mikoto is a long one and I need your help to finish it. 🙏🙏

my favorite side effect warning is for antidepressants

pros: you won’t want to kill yourself

cons: you might want to kill yourself

Back when I was in a psychiatric hospital, and was offered antidepressants, my mother had declined them due to that apparent side effect. So the staff actually explained about this effect antidepressants have, that give reason to that warning.
When first taking antidepressants they raise up your energy first. So that you have the energy to do the tasks you might have avoided doing due to your depression.
Because of this those who were already suicidal, now have the energy to go do so. Which is the ones this warning is given for.
It’s not that a side effect of antidepressants magically makes you want to kill yourself, it’s the energy it gives those who were already struggling with suicidal issues, to actually attempt the act.

Very informative…

Wow. I’m so glad you explained that. Now I understand

My high school choir/psych teacher actually told is about this. She also said if you have a suicidal friend who starts seeming like they might be getting better because they have more energy, that’s the time to be cautious because that’s when they may still be suicidal but they’ll actually have the energy to go through with it

THIS. a thousand times THIS. I had it explained to me in my AP psychology class in high school. super fucking important.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT and I wish my doctors had explained it to me this well when I first started taking them.

JUST GONNA REBLOG THIS AGAIN TO ADD that my younger sister in law recently started on anti-depressants among other medications in juncture with therapy to help handle an extreme case of OCD and anxiety, and I was the one who had to explain this to her. Her doctor only explained the risks, and not WHY they would actually be considered risks, which put her off of taking medication for most of her life. I explained it, and she understood, and THAT is why she is now on medication that is significantly improving her life. DOCTORS NEED TO TELL US THIS SHIT.

Best description of why ‘increased risk of suicide’ is included in the warning for anti-depressants I’ve ever read.

Signal boost this to save a life.

I love this bc it’s a little snapshot of what the intermediate stage of recovery/treatment/growth can look like.

It might not be what you expect. I think people want to stop having those thoughts immediately, and if they can’t they feel that they’ve failed. But that’s not true! Challenging those old thought patterns is exactly what recovery looks like
