Meds?

Hello, new friend.


Lately, I have not been taking my medications regularly. I know it's not good for my body to fluctuate so much on my Yaz and Lexapro. I know. I don't know why it is so difficult for me to take these pills. It's not an excuse if I'm sleeping or tired. For some reason, even after nearly two years, it's difficult for me to accept that I need medication to function. I feel good when I take it, and then I forget that it's all I have to do is take a pill and I am a nearly-functional person. And that's awesome!

It sucks that my body is messed up, but I'm no better than my uncle. He didn't take his anti-stroke medication and - surprise! - had a stroke. He could've avoided being paralyzed on the right side of his body. I can avoid these mood swings and anxiety attacks by taking my medication. My brain is sick, and I can't just avoid medication because I don't want to be sick.

For some reason, I have the best revelations during class.
