Feb. 27th, 2021 01:23 pmi was embarrassingly old before i realized that when people were talking about their muse they didn’t mean an actual voice they hear giving them writing tips
I picked up my cell phone with my right hand and it felt hot so I was like aww crap I wonder if my new charger cord is wonky and it’s causing my phone to get too hot while charging.
So I lean over the desk, transferring my phone to my left hand so I can mess with the cord, and as I’m doing that I realize the phone is room temperature in my left hand.
Phone not overheating.
Just stupid brain.
I knew the steroids would make me irritable, but I didn’t anticipate them making my hallucinations THIS much worse. They’re bad enough right now I’m not comfortable driving. Getting my period at the same time probably didn’t help.
I’m feeling wet/cold spots all over the carpet, hot and cold areas in the house, 3 of the rooms in the house smell like gas (don’t worry, I asked my mom to check and there’s no actual gas smell), there’s a clicking noise that won’t go away, I’ve got a guacamole-gone-bad taste in my mouth, a lot of the things I touch feel sticky, and even though I *know* there weren’t earthquakes here today (or ever where I live), the ground felt like it shifted a few times today and yesterday.
My mom had a seizure tonight just a few minutes after she started working on something for her boss, so I had to finish it. It’s almost 4am and I just finished. Got mom to bed about an hour ago. She’s pretty fuzzy, but the seizure was in the back of her head, which means it’s not going to hit her as hard. The ones she gets in her forehead area are the worst.
The steroids are also getting me stuck in this weird in-between area with sleep. I’m buzzed and don’t feel like sleeping at all, but if I can catch it just right and actually fall asleep, I conk out for a LONG time. I slept 9 hours yesterday.
My dad gets back from Nevada tomorrow, and my mom’s friend is bringing him home from the airport, then staying with us for a few days. Kinda sucks that there’s going to be more people in the house, but maybe she’ll drive me to and from the shop.
I’m tired-buzzed, so I should probably at least TRY to get some sleep :P
With the added stress of fixing the website, helping my mom with catching up on her work, and dealing with some other family stuff, my hallucinations are flaring a bit more than usual.
The one I’ve been getting the last three days is... not fun. Sometimes they’re fun, but this isn’t.
I helped clean out my mom’s “friend’s” apartment after she died in her chair. I put friend in quotation marks because she was a horrible person who just took advantage of my mom and treated EVERYONE like shit and did the whole Munchhausen thing, only the last time she did the Munchhausen thing she took it too far and nobody was around anymore to save her.
And because she was so awful and mean to everyone, nobody noticed she was dead until a week later when the neighbors complained about the television being on all day and all night.
I’m still not really sure why my mom thought it was our job to clean out the apartment, but the smell was horrible, and that smell is what I keep hallucinating the last couple days along with my van shivering as I drive it, my cell phone hopping a couple inches up and down every once in a while, and one little part of my clothing feeling cold/wet at random times.
It’s not bothering me beyond asking my dad to test drive the van and see if the shiver is a real thing that needs fixing (it wasn’t). I just know that if I’m not careful I’ll throw myself into a psychotic episode by stressing myself out.
But tonight is gummy night anyway, so I just gotta finish out the day and rest tonight :)
