Fukitoff, Week 2

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Today I hate you.

 

Not in the general grumpy sense, though. I’m talking actual honest-to-god FURY at the world around me, a barely restrained roiling, seething rise in blood pressure that’s threatening to make vitriol spew forth in an effort to relieve some of that strain.

 

I’ve never felt it as an actual threat before. Sure, I get cranky, but never before have I wanted to explode into a flaily tantrum a la those Kermit the Frog does for the least little thing—while working customer service. When you have to restrain yourself from shouting “OH WAAH WAAH LET ME GET OUT MY VIOLIN” at the third customer whinging on about how they didn’t get their coupons in the Sunday paper, that is when mood swings = problems with job security.

 

So yeah, Week 2 of Fukitol Withdrawal proceeds according to plan! I’m having spectacular mood swings (AND YOU CAN ALL GO TO HELL *bursts out sobbing*), and periodically I get this tendency to shake with that obnoxious physical anxiety,* and I’m pretty sure the Earth is not as stable as it used to be. But that’s what’s supposed to happen, so the doctor assures me. If I can avoid crashing my car, I think all will be well!

 

And as for the indiscriminate rage? Oh, I can handle that. I recently mastered the fabled Geno Whirl 9999 damage hit on Super Mario RPG. If I get angry, I can kill the shit out of some monsters, and all will be well.

 

 

*You know, that type where you feel like Wile E. Coyote after he chugged the bottle of ACME Earthquake Pills and knocked down some mountains? He goes wandering around for hours with random bits rattling.

... Would this be a bad time for me to tell you how your entry made me giggle?

That happened to me with the generic substitute for wellbutrin. It was really rather alarming, given that I'm usually pretty Californian about the world.

Is it bad that I can guess the medication by the withdrawal symptoms?

(And hello, I found you whilst reading the comments on usulav's journal. I liked the mosqito story, and popped over with the feeble hope that you might have some sort of "my grand misadventures in Africa" tag.)

I just went through a hellacious period of withdrawing from my medicine (which I didn't want to stop, as it's working fine for me) thanks to moving and being sent to the wrong clinics five times. You have my sympathy. *sends cookies....and a war-hammer*

No, it's not just you, the world really is that infuriating.

This is why I should probably be on medication. :)
