Still in AC? How's it going?

I figure I'll just update this every year on January 19th, or so...

In lieu of writing some ridiculously long post where I prattle on forever about what's occurred the past year, I figure it's easier to list some cliffs, at least in this first (last?) post and then go from there. Not that anyone cares either way, but it'll at least be less onerous for me. And they'll be plenty of inane rambling from me in this thread in the future anyway, at least there will be if I keep this going, which is quite uncertain. So:

1) Was in AC/Borgata this time last year playing 2/5 and went on about a 10k downswing. I didn't think I played that badly but also was not feeling great emotionally and so I'm sure I didn't play that well, either.
2) Went home to Newark in February and was exasperated about how the medication (mirtazapine) I was taking caused me to lose 10-12 hours a day to sleep (and more to sedation). I stopped taking it and wasn't not playing much online.
3) Spent Feb-April watching a ton of RIO stuff, the Educapoker course (ehhhh...good guy but woefully disorganized teacher, and his language limitations were an issue, even with subtitles), and playing in a very small mixed game in NYC once a week. I'd still look at the lobbies from time to time but lacked the confidence to play online.
4) April-May I tried a drug I ordered from Canada that for whatever reason isn't offered here (moclobemide) and was on that for about 6 weeks. Felt nothing from it and was still playing verrrry sparingly.
5) Missed going out to Vegas this past year but it would have been idiotic to go there and sit in the hotel room the whole time, unhappy and anxious.
6) Went back on old faithful Effexor by the end of the summer and have been on it since August. Not coincidentally I started playing a lot online starting in September, whether it be spins, HUSNG, or small stakes NL/PLO.
7) Sleep has largely been on a non-24 hour schedule throughout the last year, which has been very difficult to deal with. I still managed to keep my fitness routine intact, but I get sick a ton and have had to brave through some nightmare workouts when my internal clock is askew.
8) Being on the current medication really messes with my ability to date, so I've largely been inactive on Bumble/Tinder/CMB/etc. I have had a couple funny interactions, maybe some of which I'll detail here.
9) As for poker, as noted I've been mixing it up since I really started playing again in September. I've probably played more spins than almost anyone in the state of NJ, I've played quite a lot of 20-100 hyper HUSNGs over the past 4 months, and I still will myself into playing cash from time to time. I hired a coach for PLO and that has helped, though I still have a long way to go. As for NL study, I bought PIO back in April or May and have used it exactly 2 times, simply because I don't feel comfortable with the software. Regardless, I'm glad that my study-to-play ratio has gone from being so staggered towards the former to being more balanced. I still watch RIO a lot and am slowly going through the Upswing HU course.
10) I started an instagram account where I still haven't posted anything yet, but plan to (which means 80% chance of nothing ever). I was talking with some friends about how annoying chip porn/self-aggrandizement/self-promotion was in poker, and how it'd be funny if someone had an account that celebrated all of one's failures in poker. Getting stacked and having a picture of empty felt in front of you, horrible sessions on HM2, horrible bluffs, etc. It would also probably have general life stuff/failures. We'll see if that ever materializes.

Until 1/20/20...

Hope you can find the right meds/regimen to keep level. It would be pretty funny to have an instagram with just pics of different colored felt in for 500, in for 1k etc.
