I had the most bizarre reaction to a medication I took for an infection, I got a super bad migraine and now anxiety, heart palpitations and moodiness. I don’t know how to make sense of it, I did not expect SI to come out of it. My mental health was improving and I was getting better and made progress, now I’m disappointed.
I’m safe

Sounds like you have this under control @creative_writer and are doing all the right things! I hope you sleep well and start tomorrow on a different foot. I know that when I don't feel great or my head is not in the right place, a good night's sleep can make all the difference. RiverSeal ❤️
