#really up

Of course, I am having some struggles with my medication. First it was the sleep disturbance side effects, which means for me that I can sleep when I usually do, but once I’m awake for anything at all, I have to be awake for a few hours before I can go back to sleep. I’m still getting enough sleep regardless, so I’m not complaining too much. I do get dizzy/woozy like an hour or two after I take the medication, but it seems to get better if I take it with food so I’m still trying to figure that out since it seems to be hit or miss at the moment.

And my parents finally know about my diagnosis. I finally told my mom about my struggles with mental health the Sunday after my original appointment. We both sobbed about it and then my parents changed their profile pics to ones with me as signs of support (which made me sob harder). But things seem to be good and they took the news better than I originally anticipated.
