I don't mean to be a liar21(5) I've had all the epiphanies my brain can take yesterday. It had made me feel scared and lost and anxious. Hearing J's voice on the phone felt like coming home. Like becoming a real person again.22No Reasons23No Reasons24(5) I don't always know exactly what I'm feeling in the moment. I guess that's ok. It's a little scary not having an answer though.

I am a good friend, relative, colleague, but being in love feels so		16(5) Slightly anxious all day before my first driving lesson with an actual instructor. It was moved from early afternoon to evening. Hope it goes by quick.17(6) Having a first aid course today, feeling sleepy and bored. Irritable lately. Driving was fun though. Unsettled, could be a side effect of Bupropion.18(3) 8 days in a row does not technically make it a depression, but I'm going with calling it that anyway. I can't take it anymore.
