So, after 8 years of neglecting myself and at the urging of Brandon, I finally went and had a full checkup done of my physical and mental health. I got ambushed (no pun intended) into an improptu lady-parts check. Good news! All my organs are where they are supposed to be. I was given a prescription finally for my migraines that luckily I only had to pay $10 for, without insurance it would have worked out to $24 PER PILL. We'll see how these treat me. After discussing in great detail my insomnia and anxiety attack issues, the Dr came to the conclusion that they are related and got me started on a daily anxiety pill and a super duper pill for the attacks that sneak past my newly elevated defenses. I've only been on these meds for 3 days now, but I swear I already feel 100 times better. I'm tired at night, awake in the mornings, cheerful throughout the day. Even my coworkers that were able to manage to bring to me homicidal rages mearly with thier repulsively annoying personalities, waaay more tolerable. Sure, these pills may be chemically lobotomizing me to some extent, but if they make me a more tolerant person I will be happy. Plus, my anxiety attacks are worse than death, so I'm happy to have those at bay. Anxious to see how awesome this makes drinking now...
