When you’re sick, you just want to sleep it off

One time when I had a sinus infection they gave me a bottle of essentially just dxm but the syringe they gave me to measure the dose didn't fit in the bottle so I just took a swig whenever and let me tell you that was genuinely the happiest week of my life. I've never felt so at peace. Granted there was a lot else going on like I was essentially being paid hundreds of dollars to just feed someone's dog and take them outside on a really nice plot of land but the drugs made it a lot better I swear.

I went through a stomach surgery, and when I left the hospital they have me a receipt for some pain medication. I got a packet of 500(!!) morphine based pills. I took one, and decided I'd rather live with the pain. I like alchohol and the rush it gives me, but morphine in my body is fucking shit. Worst feeling I've felt in my life. I was suicidal, non-responsive (according to my GF) - but no pain even if I cannot remember a damn thing. Fuck that shit

My mom about 5 minutes after taking the first morphine pill: "Hmm, I wonder when I'm allowed to take the next one [checks clock]"

Shit's evil.

Lucky, I get sinus infections due to the wild fires and they just give me antibiotics.

I also got antibiotics as well as a steroid to use depending on if it was viral or bacterial (it was bacterial and I knew that from the start so I didn't bother with the steroid)
