A Quick Check In…

Over a week ago a terrible panic attack left me with a four day migraine. I’ve been sick, really sick, and it sucks. I wasn’t able to host Thanksgiving, and I think I made everyone mad in the process, and I feel bad about it. Mental illness sucks, and it wrecks everything, and I’m not o.k. right now…

Last Wednesday I went to the doctor to adjust my meds, and follow up with another check-up in March, with a possible re-diagnosis. It sucks, and I felt like a failure, six years, and I’m still not well…

I’m getting adjusted to the higher dose of medication, and trying to figure out what I can do to eliminate stress in my life. I have to get better…

Stupid Anxiety is Stupid

I woke up with a headache today, and this afternoon it has decided to magically turn itself into a migraine. I haven’t had a migraine in a good two months, and I’m grumpy about it…

I also needed to fill a prescription for my anxiety medication. I decide to use the online service that you are supposed to use because it is faster than calling. My prescription gets denied, due to needing to schedule an appointment to refill the prescription. I reply to the email to schedule an appointment to refill the prescription, and they reply back, what is the nature of this appointment?!? I am truly annoyed… I hate it when you need anxiety medicine to schedule your appointment for anxiety medication.

With the holidays approaching, I’m a perfect blend of uncontrollable boundless energy, or a puddle of exhaustion that sleeping around the clock isn’t fixing… I am seriously annoyed with my brain at the moment.
