Feb 2021

Been stuck at home for weeks and at the mercy of "friends" to get to the store etc. (car not driveable, uber costs an arm and a leg)

Ran out of my antidepressants a few days ago and nobody will help me get to the store to get the scrip... cant sleep, melatonin is giving me nightmares (the kind that even when you wake up you go right back into)

Broke and lonely, jus feeling awful about myself even though I know it's just the lack of medicine

dont know how to feel better... tried warm milk tonight and some lavender

gonna call the dr tomorrow and ask if there is some kind of social service to hepp me get my damn medicine... cus ive been in tears way too easily for the last 3 days
