What's Bothering You?

[Giddy]

We do cooked breakfast at my shop, but there's never anyone here till after 9am, and I get frustrated when I have to sadly inform people just that so they don't come back. Ugh.

 

[Dunquixote]

Edit: never mind. I’m okay, just a little sad. I’ll probably feel better once i get some more sleep.

I'm going to try 10mg of Lexapro.

I'm reluctant but I'm biting down and doing it anyways.

I asked my doctor if there would be side effects and she said there shouldn't be. But I had a terrible reaction to buspirone. I kept getting these horrid brain zaps. Like my a shock going through my head that would jolt me forward each time I took it.

I'm eager to try this and aware of how bad effects can be. I have mixed feelings. I'm ready for the prescription to be ready so I can get it over with.

I'll live but like. last night I got up to get a sip of water, and since my bed isn't far from my desk I didn't bother turning on the lights.

so then when I tried to get back into bed, I misjudged how far I was from it and just. slammed my knee into the bedframe I figured it'd be fine in the morning so I went to sleep anyway. and like, it's not serious, but it is bruised as hell and I've been having to use an ice pack on-and-off all day aaaaa. no ringfit for me for a few days ig

edit: also I could tell ragweed pollen season had begun the moment i woke up this morning. help

My entire ****ing family is getting on my case about my sleep schedule and it's starting to piss me off. I can understand my parents doing it because they want what's best for me (even though it did spark a couple arguments)... But why does my brother care? Maybe I'm more reluctant to listen to him, but he's being real annoying about the whole thing.

Every day, he tells me the same crap: "You should go to bed earlier, it's just better for you", "you should be in bed right now", "try to sleep earlier"... And EVERY ****ING MORNING he wakes me up (too early, in my opinion) to ask, "When did you go to bed?/How many hours of sleep did you get?" **** off.

And my family assumes that I've been sleeping late because I wake up late, which isn't even the case most of the time. I just like to sleep in (or I don't want to see/deal with them right away). I didn't think I'd type up a whole rant about something so trivial, but this happens every day and I'm getting tired of it.

I hope this medication works for you! This is the medication I take and if memory serves I didn't have troubles adjusting. The medication I was trying beforehand had some weird side effects so I remember being nervous about the escitalopram too.

My next therapist appointment isn’t until July 19th and I have something I want to talk about with her but am unable to until then

Got sent to the hospital in an ambulance from work today and was there for 8hrs. Pumped full of morphine, x-rays, and many blood tests. They offered to keep me overnight but said I was safe to go home if I wanted, so I did. Would much rather sleep in my own bed!

Scary, exhausting day. Thankfully I had my own room for half of it. Overstimulation and emetophobia made being in the communal waiting rooms more difficult than the procedures!

Achy, tired, hungry. Glad to be home.

Spoiler: health troubles

i physically feel terrible and i need to go to the doctor, i think. two days ago, i had the worst time sleeping. i was up until 3am. it was so bad that i think i nearly ended up crying myself to sleep. not to mention, i think i have a cavity i'm supposed to be calm and resting throughout summer, and i can't even do that properly

 

[spawnpoint]

Went to Urgent Care today as my right eye (and the entire right side of my face) swelled up after eating a nectarine. My eye was also red and runny, as it is in allergic reaction. I had an itchy throat too, but am better now. It was scary, though.
My mouth itches after eating stonefruit like apples, cherries, pears, etc. but I’ve never had an itch with swelling like this before. Took some Benadryl and will start prednisone soon. Also got a referral to see an allergist.

I will stay away from certain foods from now on.

The deja vu I’ve had several times a day for the past two weeks is a part of my condition apparently. I’m positive I’ve had mundane dreams featuring a lot of the interactions I’ve had online or in person right now months or years ago. Even down to the exact same words. I’d wake up from them and be confused why I would dream up something so boring and lifelike. I also became friends with someone last week who looks and has the exact same background of someone I dreamt up multiple times last year. I had never met the person until March of 2024.

I feel like the protagonist of The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K Le Guin. Logically I know my situation makes no sense. People in real life should not be able to predict the future. Chances are it’s either a bunch of false memories (I don’t think that’s it because I remember talking about them to other people later the same day) or it’s a bunch of very strange coincidences stemming from my condition. There’s a theory that dreams are the brain visualizing potential real world scenarios and I just have unusual luck in something similar actually happening. I’ve also had lifelike dreams that would never happen so they can’t all be trusted.

Groggy and my body feels like lead. Barely slept and I figured out I consumed less than 1000 calories yesterday. Only managed that much because my girlfriend purposely bought me a high calorie dinner, which took me from 10PM-1:30AM to eat.

Half-wish I'd taken up the offer to stay in the hospital as I'm in agony this morning. Hope the painkillers they sent me away with kick in soon.

 

[Dunquixote]

There was a huge bug on the ceiling that i tried to get but it fell and I didn’t see where it went . I’m panicking right now since I’m so freaked out. I put Jewels where I saw it fall hoping she’d find it but she just looked at me contused.

 

[Seastar]

Feeling nauseous tonight and I have no idea why. How am I going to sleep?

I'm thinking I may need to get in touch with my family doctor again. I didn't talk about this on here before, but almost two weeks ago I slipped and fell on my back porch, and I didn't think much of it at the time because I felt okay and got right back up (though I have a history of having a very high pain tolerance). but the problem now is that I have had a headache every day since then. sometimes it turns into a migraine and it really sucks. I've also dealt with radiating back pain a few times. I've also also been feeling excessively tired, I usually feel tired anyway but lately it's been more than usual so I wonder if it has something to do with my fall. I didn't hit my head, but I must've jolted my neck when I fell.
I talked to the doctor on Friday about it, and he said that if it gets worse, or if I experience unordinary neurological symptoms, then I would need to go to the ER. thankfully it didn't get to that point, but while it hasn't technically gotten worse, it certainly hasn't gotten better. I might need to have an x-ray done and see a chiropractor. my mum has issues with her back and has for a long time, so it would probably be a good idea for me to do that anyway. I'm just hope I can get something figured out, dealing with a headache every single day for nearly two weeks straight is awful honestly. thankfully Tylenol does help a bit, but it's obviously not a permanent solution.

update on this. saw the doctor yesterday, and after talking about my symptoms, we were able to the come to the conclusion that this is pretty much entirely muscular. I have tension in my shoulders that has built up for... probably years at this point. the doctor said that the muscles in my shoulders feel super tight, and they honestly have for quite a long time now. that's probably why I feel tense so often, it's because my muscles are literally tense and painful to the touch. it's understandable that falling would cause so much strain in my neck muscles and cause headaches and migraines for me.

and the thing is, I've known about this. my muscles have been tense for as long as I can remember. I did research months ago on local massage therapists, and they were all too expensive for me to afford. half an hour is generally $55-65, and an hour is easily $110+. when I talked to my mum about it yesterday she thought it was $20 for a half hour. if that was the case I would've had this done a long time ago!

I did set up an intake session with a local chiropractor, just because it wouldn't hurt to get my spine realigned and all that, but really what I need is a deep tissue massage. I just don't know where to go where they won't charge me $60 for a half hour session, I probably need to go once a week and I certainly cannot afford that.

but I really, really need this. I have now woken up with a headache every day for the last two weeks. last night I went to bed early because my headache turned into a migraine again. I can't keep doing this and feeling miserable every single day.

Hate when I have that feeling of creativity and it wears away, even though I do wanna do something today; I just don't feel it anymore.
An old family friend passed away today, and that was shocking to hear, but I'm glad she isn't in any pain anymore, for a long while even sitting in bed she was in agony. She can rest easy now.

Also informed sadly that I basically can't upload dream addresses without online membership, so I just don't feel on any point to keep going with my island kingdom idea on my friends switch; because I can't see her ever getting an online membership.
And theres no way I could buy another switch, besides the fact that whatever the next game console will be. It absoltely SUCKS.

And I am guessing I will have to go on UC again, absolute torture uggh.

So, my mom's been gone for over a month now (currently taking care of an indefinite family situation out-of-state) and I'm still stuck with my klutzy dad, who is driving me nuts. This was only supposed to last a week, but clearly things have not been resolved. I cannot clean or reorganize anything around the house without upsetting my mom, so things are just sitting in places that I can't get rid of. The last time I confronted her about house cleanliness, she refused to speak to me for two weeks.

We're also trying to get a stray cat that's been roaming our property spayed at the vet so she cannot reproduce without our knowledge, but appointments are super filled up. We tried (unsuccessfully) to send her in last Tuesday by caging her up, but she got aggressive and hid from us the whole day in our garage, thus forcing us to cancel the appointment. This is also a reason why large items that I want moved out of the house are sitting in the same places collecting dust. There are also belongings to my sister still laying around, and she lives on her own now. Why this stuff is still here is beyond me.

I told my dad how frustrated I was yesterday about this current situation, and he didn't really seem motivated to take action indoors. All he wants to do is yardwork. It's pretty stupid how little my family cares about organization in the house.
