A brief encounter with low

I’m munching Maltesers and trying to stave off the side-effects of not taking my antidepressants for the last four days. I was only expecting to be away from college for one whole day so I thought rather than risk loosing them in transit I’d just not take one pill. I hadn’t accounted for my girlfriend’s depression flaring up quite so much. I’ve had a telephone consultation with the doctor and they’ve written me out a new prescription to keep me going. I’ll pick that up this afternoon.

I woke up this morning feeling a bit short tempered which is what motivated me to get out of bed and arrange getting more medication. I just hope these feelings don’t continue now that we’re both struggling with withdrawal symptoms.

I need to do some washing today because I only brought over with me what I was wearing. If I get that done and dried out by tomorrow morning then I might go for a wander in to town to try and take my mind off things.

I was going to arrange not returning to college at all and only go back this week to pick up my belongings, but now I think I might just stay until the end and get something valuable from the six months work experience I’ll do once I leave.

I fancy a curry today so I might grab one from the shop when I go to pick up my prescription.
