I honestly had no idea that ativan was actually doing anything until I talked it over with my partner, who very gently asked me to please make sure I have some with me because it really is quite helpful.

The only thing I do notice is it messes with my ability to form memories for a few hours, so maybe that’s why I don’t perceive it as helping… it’s because I literally can’t remember. Spooky.

In my personal experience, I have found that the people around me are a much better judge of whether my meds are working than I am.

My therapist said that when and if I start trying to wean myself off of antidepressants, my spouse would be the #1 source of information on how I’m doing, and whether or not I’m backsliding. Because given my history, I wouldn’t notice until it was far too late.

Useful if this is how you think, though often I don’t see the outline until after the draft is written, because after awhile one just internalize this kind of stuff from all the media one ingests. Point is, use if helpful, ignore if not.

This is EXACTLY how many shows on television plot their episodes, though it’s usually through a five act timeline:

1) Introduction to the characters and the mission/adventure.

2) Mission begins. Protagonist establishes cursory allies and foes. Some sort of complication to the plot at the end of Act II.

3) Protagonist and friends deal with complication of the plot. Gears up for another go at the goal, but falls short in some way, usually related to protagonist’s personal journey.

4) Critical information needed for climax is discovered. Protagonist angsts, then rallies.

5) The lead up to and the final resolution. 

Because studios sometimes require a 6 act break for extra advertising, the last coda is usually related to season arc/character development. But generally speaking, this is the structure a lot of screenwriters use.
