Weird title.. I know.
Today was rough. I drank last night (and dyed my hair) and am not sure how much. I think I blacked out. I actually wrote a post that I don't remember last night, but I deleted it rather than reading it. It disturbs me to have evidence of things I did while intoxicated but don't remember.
I woke up and finally got up around 1pm. I didn't drink. I went to work at 3. It became obvious at work that I wasn't well. I felt kinda dissociated. I mean I looked in the mirror and it was like looking at a photo of a person.. not a reflection of myself. I looked down a few times and thought my skin was the wrong color. I felt warm when everyone claimed the room was cold.
At first I took 1/2 of an Ativan.. then my shaking got worse and the weird distant feeling got worse, so I took another 1mg. I managed to get through OK.
Driving home things seemed odd. Lights in the rear view mirror were a strange color. Headlights were too bright. I stopped and bought drinks (chasers) and nail polish.. not related to drinking. I got home safely.
Drinking has been tough because of how nauseous I felt all day. I was scared that I would puke when I took a shot. I think I managed 6 before pouring the rest down the drain. I'm admittedly still drinking a hard cider.. but the vodka is gone. I am hanging out with B tomorrow, so hopefully I won't buy more.
The bugs thing.. I decided to clean litter boxes tonight before I started drinking. It seriously looked like things were moving. Like worms or something. I mean even the clean litter I added seemed to be moving. Hallucination is fun.. not. I think that's why I poured the vodka out. I was semi-ok with tremors, but I can't handle having to debate if what I am seeing is reality
So tomorrow I intend not to drink. We'll see how that goes. I plan to be honest with B when we hang out..about the slip. I will probably have to take the Ativan tomorrow. I hope it's not too bad.
Hallucinations are NOT fun. I'm prone to psychoses and that moment when things are suddenly off is scary as hell. Nature's way of saying things aren't right, you know?
