Overtaken

Approximate timeof Incident: 3am
I just woke up so anxious and sad, I felt like screaming. My thoughts wouldn't stop racing. They just go back and forth, throwing out pointless memories and repetitive phrases...repeating, repeating.
So. A choice again. Take a tranquilizer for immediate relief, thus avoiding possible trip to that place where the door is locked but you don't have the key or take the risk and tough it out.
I took the pill. I had the usual result. With a brief break for lunch and computer time, I slept all day long.
Today is ok. I don't know what tonight or tomorrow will be like.
This is why I take medication. This is why I'm on disability.
