some ~issues~

i've been taking birth control pills since early 2016 and the first dosage level ended up making me throw up the first of each new pack.  so i got the dosage changed, and it probably ended up making me feel nauseous (and throwing up) for 4-5 days at the start of the new pack.  it started this month and so i went to my doctor and talked to her about it and she thought it was low blood sugar + lack of protein.  she changed the dosage anyway and now i'm trying to ease back into a regular eating schedule, since i wasn't eating much but bread for the past few days.
mostly it's been graham crackers and peanut butter, but also oranges and ginger ale.  my stomach still feels really weird but less weird the more days pass.  i hate waking up nauseous though, and having that dread feeling in my stomach while i'm showering and feeling generally exhausted and not feeling able to eat anything.  i had to call in sick to work for the first time on monday since i threw up 3 times and i work in a kitchen.  my coworkers and manager and boss were sympathetic when i went back to work yesterday and asked how i was feeling which was nice.  though yesterday i ate almost nothing at all and went to work and ended up feeling so drained of energy i had to eat a peanut butter bar from work to get some energy, which worked, but gave me stomach cramps bc of the sudden sugar intake.  so far fruit and peanut butter has been a gentle way to reintroduce food to my stomach which is good.  i've felt really shitty for the past few days though and i hate it, especially with school starting in less then a week, i dont want to wake up early in the morning and not be able to have something before school.
so hopefully it passes soon
