I had a very rough day. My body and brain are still trying to adjust to a rather crazy change in a mood stabilizer/SSRI and the side effects continue.

This is me.
I have been struggling with the side effects of depresion and anxiety medications for a little over three years now.

Who Am I – A Poem?
