I've Got Myself to Blame for This

It hasn’t been two days yet, but I think this might work. I’d stopped taking my medicine and wanted to surprise my grandma, well actually, I wanted to surprise my counselor. Why am I on medication? I’ve struggled with anxiety since I was a toddler. It’s caused by a chemical being released in my brain too often. I’ve only been on medication for it since I was in middle school. Summer will be over soon, and it’s my senior year of high school. I had decided long ago that I would be able to deal with it without the Prozac before I graduated. I know my Grandma would worry if I told her. I wanted to try getting by without it for a while, so I decided to wait a few weeks and see if she noticed anything different before breaking the news. I think I can do this.
