Sheeeit beeeitch after smokin’ dat weed I’m jonesing for some grub!

 

So, I am off the Lexapro now. I had been taking it, on and off, since the divorce…mostly on. 10 mg a day. I was taking it for anxiety. It also seemed to help my brain fire more effiecently.

Weel, I’m off. Not because the doctor dropped it, but because I don’t have extra money laying around for another 30 day supply.

Withdrawals? Yep, I got ‘em. Mostly the whole brain not functioning as clearly. Awesome stuff. I hope that is a withdrawal symptom and not the way my brain works, period. It’s mostly names and words I can’t recall. Which sucks for a salesperson.

“So…uh…mr….um…dude, your church needs a…um…an…thing…don’t tell me…”

I also am a little more emotional. “So you think you can dance” makes me cry. Now, granted, I’m also tired and working a couple jobs, but I think some of the edge would have been taken away by the Pro.

And, I am having a tendency to read things into a situation. I pissed Sarah off a few days ago. It was one of those moments where I felt I needed to say what I was thinking, even though she was going to be mad. I even set up the moment with a warning…that really doesn’t help by the way. So, for the next 3 days, I apologized profusely, and anytime she didn’t answer a text or an email…which she has a tendency to do anyway…I expected the worse. Irrational, I know, and I knew it in the moment as well…but I couldn’t help it.

So, I’m here. 3 weeks from my last fix. Having money issues and not sleeping enough or eating right.

Yeah for Sarah!!! She’s so lucky.
