Gaining my sanity, losing my mind

A week ago I saw a shrink for the first time, and he put me on a new medication - Cymbalta.  This should boost other chemicals in my brain that are in serious need of boosting, and while it's supposed to take a bit to really see any difference, I think I'm already seeing one.

A few days ago I came home from work and noticed the bag of garbage I left sitting by the front door had been taken out to the dumpster.


Thanks for taking out the trash! I said as I entered the apartment.  Amanda let me know she hadn't taken it out.  Ok...Brandon, thank you for taking out the trash!  


I didn't take it out Mom.

Well shit, that means I took it out, and if I really dug deep and thought hard enough to smell smoke, I could faintly remember going to the dumpster.

The previous night.

...

Moving on.

About an hour later, I noticed the clean dishes in the dishwasher had been put away and dirty ones had already begun to accumulate in their place.  Awwwww, someone emptied the dishwasher!  Nope, Amanda hadn't done it.  I knocked on Brandon's bedroom door and gave him a big Thank You!

I didn't do it Mom.

...

Either someone is fucking with me, or I am completely losing my mind...

hahahahah, sorry for laughing. Well at least I am not alone. I often think - that's it I've lost it.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most. Wait till the "hereafter" moments start. That's when you walk into a room and have no idea why you are there. "What am I here after". But seriously, you may want to talk to the doc about it. Might be a normal side effect, but might not be one you want to deal with.

Don't tell me, you've forgotten about that hundred bucks you owe me.
