What's Bothering You?

was so sure my sickness last week was because of antidepressant withdrawal after i stopped my old one and started a new one. nope! it's the new one! i restarted it six or so hours ago before going to bed at half the dose, and now i'm having the same symptoms as before albeit a little milder. it's strange because i've been on this medication before a few years back and Nothing happened. i was off sick four days last week and fine yesterday so idk what to do but not sure if i can go into work in this state. i can't even lay down atm. i took one of the anti sickness tablets i was prescribed last week, so i might try getting back to sleep and seeing how i feel in a few hours when my alarm goes off but jesus. i am not giving this medication a third shot.
gone 5AM, and i haven't slept. that anti sickness tablet didn't do anything 😭 think my work is gonna get annoyed at me for being off again, but if i can't even lay down, there's no way i can manage. gonna request a call with my doctor first thing and see if i can get a sick note but oof, i feel like hell.
 
I won't go into detail because it's personal, but a while ago my dad discovered he had something in him and he's doing what he can to be cured of it before something detrimental happens to him.

My mom took him to the hospital so they could do surgery on him and we visited him today. He says the surgery was successful so far. I'm posting here because I'm still worried about what could happen to him later, though. :( I hope it goes well.

That said, I haven't been to any hospital since I was a kid. I wonder what it feels like to be a patient there. I don't wanna die...
Hope your dad is back home asap
 
I feel like I'm always expected to perform in some way. If I don't use enough emojis, I'm not enthusiastic enough. If my reactions aren't exactly verbatim like the previous ones, they think I'm down or upset with them. It's starting to drain me.
 
The garbage truck damaged our garbage bin again! It's the third time in 3 months. It ate our garbage bin wheels, broke the cover. Those bins are not cheap either. That's enough!

The snow plow is also damaging the front yard and curbs. At least I know they will repair it this spring.
 
Feeling worthless again. A lot of it has to do with people who were once happy to see me and considered me friend, now won't even look at me as if I don't exist. They won't even let me know why either and it's just so frustrating, I can't contain it. Wish I stopped worring about people like that but I can't.
 
look, I know that people have crazy dreams sometimes, but I keep experiencing what seem to be symptoms of narcolepsy. and I get tired of telling people my symptoms and them saying "Oh I deal with that too" implying that it's nothing or that it's normal. no, I'm pretty sure it's not normal to fall asleep and start dreaming pretty much immediately, then have a very disorienting dream which leaves you waking up, hallucinating, not knowing where you are or what time it is. that's not normal.
have you been experiencing this often during the morning? excessive daytime sleepiness is pretty much a requirement to diagnose narcolepsy. DSM 5 says at least 3 times per week for 3 months. if this has been happening to you and your being extremely fatigued or having "sleep attacks" in the morning is interfering with your every day work then i do suggest getting checked by a doctor. :)

I literally almost fell asleep while driving home from work early this afternoon, so yes haha. my sleep schedule has been a little funky for the last few days since I'm going on a trip soon, but this has been happening off and on for a few months now at the very least.
