I have a sinus infection that's making me feel poorly physically (I have practically perpetual sinus issues from about August through April or so and am quite prone to sinus infections - it's really obnoxious, and I worry about the amount of antibiotics I end up taking over those months for said infections, about it leading to antibiotic-resistant bacteria and stuff). Also, looking at all the things I'd need to do/be able to do in order to live on my own (particularly transportation, as I don't know that I'll ever be in a position where I should be driving due to slow reflexes and attention problems (for example, if a bird flies across the road, my eyes will instinctively follow it instead of staying on the road, and there's nothing I can do about it (motion of any kind instantly grabs my attention - I joke that I have T-rex vision)), and the bus system around here is not set up very well or conveniently, because we're in a suburban area where it's expected that almost everyone drives) makes me go back to wondering if it's ever going to happen - and if indeed it is, it won't be any time soon, after all Plus I feel bad about giving in and self-harming last night, but at the same time, I want to do it again.
