this is the way it is

So it looks like I've got Lyme disease. Dr. Ellis sent off some of my blood to a lab in Florida today and I'll have the results back on Wednesday but he's pretty certain I have it. This will mean a year of antibiotics - three different kinds - and other things. It's scary and I'm scared.

I've been off Celexa and Wellbutrin for exactly eight days now. I've been very depressed. I have been nauseous, fatigued and just sick-feeling for a week now. And we don't know why.

I go to Olympia tomorrow to see a new psychiatrist - Dr. Kitty. Hopefully she'll have some idea of what medication I should try next. I watched RENT with Emily and Ethan and my mom on Saturday night and now Ethan and my mom are in love with the soundtrack. And I keep singing, "Will I lose my dignity?" because every time I go to a therapist, doctor, psychiatrist, parent, sister, friend because of my depression that is what I think: I am losing my dignity. And that's scary and that hurts.

I just ordered RENT sheet music, I'm making a Christmas/New Years present for my friends that I'm really happy about, and I've lost count of how many times Sam has saved my life.
