Your writing is like magic to me these days. You seem to touch on everything that's actually REALLY important without revealing the how or why. Thank you for sharing your truth.
Been thinking a lot about your writing on being lost. I said to my therapist last week, “blah blah blah I don’t recognize myself anymore blah blah blah,” and next thing I know she’s talking about the Bermuda Triangle of menopause and sleep and depression, and I was like, “oh, right, there’s that, it’s not just the world! “ I found some solace in your writing about being lost after that convo. Happy, too, for the EL post on resistance. And Hala Alyan book rec. You’d Better Be Lighting audiobook is gold. That whole “it’s good to know I’m not alone” thing is real. Solidarity y’all.
I’ve become struck by how weird it is that I share such things with a stranger on the internet. Or, that you have to interact with strangers as part of being a writer in 2025. It’s all so weird. 🙃 I will read your—and all the other great writers I follow—writing no matter.
I am so, so glad that you are back :) I have been listening to your podcast and your voice is so soothing to me...it takes me back to hip sobriety (a difficult but HOPEFUL time in my life...when I finally felt like I found my people and I was no longer alone). Also, HRT saved my life!
I will say from a personal level that HRT and Wellbutrin made me feel like a functional human again as someone with AuDHD For the first time since my 20s. I can usually tell in your writing when you’re grounded in yourself and I’m so happy for you❤️
Right? I’m sure it’s all of it but the amantadine is key for me; but all of them give me what I hear from people who take adderall (that “normal brain” feeling.) A world of difference. I want to say some of my best writing comes from being furious or ungrounded, but i think it’s a mix. Like: reading this intro is v boring to me, who is she why is she so calm.
yeah love the recovery roundup thank you! so happy you started HRT. This has made the biggest impact for me for anxiety and sleep. oh yeah and Neurogan CBD products- amazing company and local here in san diego.
Thank you Holly! Your voice rings out so true and clear to me. I really appreciate you and the ongoingness of your journey and your willingness to share the wealth. And it does make me feel rich. ❤️❤️❤️
The Recovering Roundup keeps me busy (in the best way!) for daaaayyyyys after I receive it, and I value it so much! thank you!
A whole month of work. A syllabus, love you.

Yay! The Recovering Roundup is one of my favorite things to read. Thanks for doing the hard work of finding all the nuggets so I can stay up to date.

Elise Loehnen’s piece from this week was like a balm, gave me a great boost of momentum and helped make sense of my now.
So so so good
