Red Rum

IMG_3644I started menstruating even though I just had my period less than two weeks ago.  I’m also on the pill so I’m pretty regular with my cycles.  Why am I bleeding?  Because I’m stressed the fuck out.  My hormones are out of whack.  I don’t think my reduced Wellbutrin dosage is helping either.  It’s like I’m not even taking an anti-depressant even though I take 100mg every morning.  I don’t feel it like I did the 150mg. I also did a really dumb thing.  I threw out my 150mg prescription.  I need that shit so I can be mellow again!

When I sleep, it’s a deep sleep.  I had a nightmare that I was hanging out with friends and they asked, “Are you ready for the wedding tomorrow?”

I freaked out.  “What do you mean?  It’s not until June 12th.”

“June 12th is tomorrow, silly!”

I start whimpering until I wake up with drool running down the side of my face.  I’ve wet the bed from all my sweat.  I think to myself, no wonder I don’t need to work out.  I sweat in my sleep.  Constantly.

I’m going on a vacation before the wedding.  I’m going to take a day or two off and hang out in a yurt, drinking tea, listening to classical music, and reading something trashy like the Thornbirds.
