....it's going to be a bad day.

you really don’t understand how cartoons have all those little floating stars around their heads, until you are actually seeing stars.

an exaggeration on the cartoons part, as stars don’t actually fly around your head.

but boy does it ever feel like it.

today, i had this very strange eyeball pain.
just one eye.
and not like a scratch on the outside.
my actual eyeball, sort of the back of it.

people kept saying “maybe you have something in it.”
gah!
it’s not like that.
it was almost like a migraine at the back of my eye.
(i’m extremely prone to migraines).
well. i was planning to take one of the pain killers my doctor gave me for my migraines while i was at work. but.
i forgot them at home.

soo…
i thought, okay i have my muscle relaxants with me.
i’ll just take one of those.
since, when i’m at home, i tend to abuse them sometimes.
and they never really do anything for me.

well.
bad idea.
which, for some reason i was in complete denial that it wasn’t going to do anything bad.

i was so dizzy after that.
each time i had to even blink i thought my eyes would never open again and that they would be glued shut.
so my boyfriend came to take me home.
because, there was no way i could look at my computer screen any longer.
(i’m a graphic designer so i don’t have an option.)

i know it’s nothing serious with my eye.
because i JUST got my cat scan results and they came back “perfect” in their words.

my body is just.
falling apart.
i’m 24.
and it’s falling apart.
(this is just one day of a horrible pain. each day it’s something new.)

i somewhat blame smoking pot.
i’ve been smoking it for a few years now.
more heavily lately.
and i think when you’re high, it’s just. you feel nothing.
you’re not focused on the pain.
so i think since i’m more and more often used to feeling that way…that when i’m not high, it’s just. i can actually feel every little tiny pain in my body.

pot is obviously seen to some as a “not so bad” drug.
but it’s a lot worse than people think.
and it can be an addiction.
it may not be a physical craving type of addiction.
but it’s a prolonged one.
because once you start to do it often, you can’t really stop.
unless you want to feel daily pain.

which is why i think i abuse so many of my prescription drugs too.
i don’t want to smoke pot, because i feel like i need one pot free day.
but then my back up stoned feeling is my meds.

so kids.
don’t do drugs.
they’re just.
always going to catch up to you.

i feel much better today thanks :)
i slept a lot last night, which is good.
i just hate that i had to leave work early constantly for migraines because i just can't take it.
i'm so worried they're going to fire me.

I have that eyeball thing!!! I haven't found anyone else with exactly the same thing until now. :'3 I don't have medicine at all. Do yours start off as an annoying mild ache and get worse? Mine can last for a week at a time, they drive me insane. I don't think they'll fire you. Where I work, I had to fill in a form to say if I had any medical issues. Did you have to do that? If you did, then they can't really fire you because they knew it was an issue from the start.

sadly no, i didn't fill out any forms.
but they SHOULD be well aware of my issues.
not to mention i have medical coverage so if they HAD to have proof (in case my doctors note wasn't enough) they could look and see what they've been paying for through the insurance.
(usually over $400 a month.)

I've been getting these a lot in the last few months, they're a royal pain. I wish going to sleep helped. But i've found that a couple of co-codamol does some good, although they make me quite light-headed.

oh man. it's getting to the point where i have enough medication to kill a small community.
i think i'm going to have to start looking at some natural alternatives :(
