Fever on the Brain

Posted by Pythia on October 7, 2007

One of the things that sucks most about being moody is that you never really realize that you are sick until it gets bad. A “normal” person knows when he is sick because he feels weak or listless. I’ve been sick for a month now but never realized it until I started having fever.

When I feel weak or listless and can’t get out of bed, I just assume it’s because I’m depressed. So, here I am, a month after the symptoms first started, lying in bed with fever for the past three days, waiting for Monday to come so I can see a doctor.

And, what’s more, because I thought that my mood was getting worse, I really did start getting frustrated and moody. The circle of life, Mr. Lion King, sucks.
