I've Been Having This Funny Feeling Going On In My Head All Day For Weeks Now Like Am Just Off Kneel And Not There.
Like you're going to have a sezuire but nothing ever happens. Your taking you're meds on time and eating and staying hydrated and everything but still feel off in the head. Like you lost your equilibrium and you know something is off but you don't know what.
