Hey kids. I'm still cranky. I think its from lack of anti-depressants in my life.
My ear is swollen. I woke up to my piercing looking mighty gnarly. I'm going to the doctors tommorrow to check it out. I think its an allergic reaction and nothing more, but I'd rather be safe then sorry. When I was drunk on Friday I kept tugging and scratching at my ears, I think that is the reason they're both so cranky now. They didn't appreciate all the abuse.
I found out an interesting thing yesterday. So I go to my psych study, talk to the doctor, get new drugs, and I ask if I could take dramamine with them. He says sure, and asks why I'm taking it. I explain my dizzy spells and he starts asking about headaches. I tell him I get those everyday too. So, it turns out he is in charge of the balance center at Upenn, where they study dizzy spells and headaches and the like. It turns out I probably have migranial vertigo. So i can have dizzy spells, not have a headache, but its still a migrane. So, the anti-depressant I'm now on should help my migranes. Then we have to see if the dizzy spells go away too.
Exciting, isn't it?
I decided I'm getting a tattoo sometime this month. I need to go start talking to people. I need something to get me out of my rut. I feel like I'm old suddenly. I don't feel young, and most of the time I feel like i'm wasting my life. I need to do something, anything, to get my blood pumpin again.
Sigh.
I need to go pretend to work.

I always got dizzy spells too. Once my anti-depression meds got worked out they got less frequent and now I only get them on my "bad" days. Hang in there, you're not alone.
