Medicine And Stuff

About 6 months ago I was going through some bad shit, so I went to a walk-in clinic and told this fucking quack of a doctor that I was depressed and had anxiety problem. He gives me Prozac. That shit doesn't work. A month of that, and then I go back again, and he gives me Wellbutrin. That shit is fucking expensive. And I say "shit" for a reason. Because it fucking didn't help a god damn thing and it costed $50 a month. Horrible.

So then I say fuck this asshole, and I goto a psychiatrist. Not for counseling or to talk about my problems because I don't like doing that shit. So he puts me on this stuff called Lamictal. It's for bipolar. Apparently, that explains why I often stay up for 2 days at a time.

That shit was free. He gave me sample packs. It's a real dangerous medicine, though. You have to slowly work your way up to the effective dose. I cheated and got up to that effective dose too fast, and it made me get little red bumps all over my entire body, and it started making my face peel. My bad.

Yeahhh. So I had to get off that stuff, quickly. He said it could have killed me, but I think he was just trying to scare me. So then he puts me on Lithium and that's where I'm at now. Still no noticeable difference. This shit got so bad that at the end of March I had to stop working. Being an assistant manager fucking sucked. No I take that back, working for a stupid cunt fucking sucked.

So because working was making my problems 10 times worse, I took about a month and a half off to relax. That helped. Now I'm back to work at the *CENSORED* I started at. (I switched to a different one to be an assistant manger.) I'm glad to be driving again. I averaged 10.90 an hour yesterday, and that's including gas milage taken out. If I kept in the $7 I was paid in mileage, I made $12.65 an hour. Pretty sweet, if you ask me. And that's assuming I'm being paid $5.15. However...

Things get complicated here. Minimum wage in Florida used to be $5.15 an hour. I started at that, and I earned a raise so I was making $5.40. Since I left to be a manager though, minimum wage was raised to $6.15. The owner must either a)Pay all his drivers $6.15 or make us declare our tips so he can legally pay us below minimum wage. I haven't seen any tip declaring, so hopefully I'm being paid $6.15 but I won't know until Friday at the earliest. Probably 2 weeks from Friday, actually.

So, things seem to be going back uphill for me. Let's hope they keep going that way.
