Today was a bad day. I did nothing. Nothing at all. Just lying around playing silly games on my phone. I didn’t even workout in the morning like I usually do. Things were pretty bad.

I think my old medication has left my system almost if not completely, and the new one is not doing its job properly. I’m no expert, but I’m not feeling good. I’m panicky and tired. My husband has to cancel his plan this weekend, so he can stay with me. He even suggested I call my psychiatrist for advice. But I think it’s not that bad, yet, and the appointment is next week, anyway.

The past two weeks have been great, but I’ve forgotten that the old medication was still in my body and did its job along with the new one. That might have been the reason for my good mood, right?

Anyway, today was rough. And some people in the neighborhood decided to turn the music on full blast. Thankfully, I recently bought new headphones, so I could take a peaceful nap in the afternoon. Otherwise, I might have gone crazy. As I’m writing this, the music is still on. And it’s been like this for two days. I wonder about the occasion and whether I’ll have to deal with it again tomorrow.

Today, I’m grateful for my husband’s kindness and my dogs. My corgi was with me during my afternoon nap. She didn’t know about my condition or anything, but her existence was just enough comfort.
