… treating your friends like an asshole.
I forgot to mention one of the drugs the doctor gave me for my bronchitis. He gave me a steroid shot. He told me, “This may alter your mood.”
Yeah. I’ll say it did.
Drugs have always had a powerful impact on my body’s chemistry. It’s one of the reasons I stay away from narcotics. I got the shot on Monday. Yesterday, I had a brief conversation with some friends on the phone. I say, “brief” because in the middle of it, I turned into a raging lunatic and started screaming at them.
I had no idea what I was doing. I was literally watching myself scream at my friends. I couldn’t stop myself, couldn’t control myself.
So today, this morning, I go back to the doctor. The office opens at 7:00 AM. I was there at 6:45. I did not have an appointment. I told the nurse what happened and that I was having a bad reaction to the drugs I was on. I saw the doctor immediately.
He looked in my eyes, asked me a few questions. Then, he did what doctors are supposed to do.
He gave me more medication. This time, a sedative.
There are now a grand total of seven foreign substances running through my system. I wonder what’s going to happen next.

As for my friends whom I screamed at, I apologize. I’m accountable for my own actions, so I take full responsibility.
I’m very, very sorry.
