doctor: so we got your blood work back... have you been under a lot of stress recently?
J: (...what a dumb question, isn't everyone?) ...umm I guess so
doctor: because we found an abnormal amount of cortisol in your bloodstream, try to relax more often (easier said than done, homie); in addition, you seem to be lacking several essential nutrients i.e. you're malnourished... have you been eating regularly?
J: (...define regularly) umm... I suppose... I eat a lot of cereal haha
doctor: what else do you eat besides cereal?
J: more cereal? ...hehhh
doctor: (she looks irritated) okay well... you have to eat more than just cereal; obviously
J: oh.. okay..
doctor: also, are you sleeping normally?
J: not really, but I'm a light sleeper so it's hard for me to get sleep as it is
doctor: yeah, but that's contributing to why you are like this right now, which really shouldn't be surprising to you
J: oh.. I see...
...then she tried to sell me some drugs and that was that. I think she thought I was stupid or something because she kept giving me those "wow this girl must lack common sense" looks. I did feel pretty stupid though... way to insult my intelligence, doctor. It hurts to breathe now... I'm sure that's not normal.
I haven't slept in three days, I am sedated, and yet I STILL wake up when she talks because she's just THAT loud. How annoying. This is definitely contributing to my elevated cortisol levels. 4 weeks until break and 4 months and counting.
put on lotion & shred cheese <3
