Ang kamote last night. Lungkot, men.
I had to buy my anti-anxiety medicine. I’ve been to 4 different Mercury Drug stores and they’re all sold out. Mukhang most of the madlang people are taking either Xanor or Altrox. Lahat may anxiety. Kasabay siya ng Biogesic na sold out halos everywhere. Hindi ka pa naman pwede magmiss ng dose otherwise grabe ang withdrawal symptoms.
I was sitting inside my car after I went to the 4th branch. I was so frustrated. I felt so alone. Yung sariling sikap ka talaga maghanap.
Thank God when I posted in my IG stories, one of my longtime IG follower saw it and sent me numbers of Mercury Drug stores in Taguig. Coincidentally, I was parked dun sa Forbes Plaza. I called each number until I got one na may stock daw. I put the the name of the branch sa Waze and off I went. It was already almost 8pm that time. Gutom na gutom na ako. Nakarating ako sa looban ng Taguig.
When I got to the store, walang parking. Paano ako makakabili? Maliit lang kasi yung kalsada and it was a very busy street. Cars were already honking at me. Sinisigawan na ako ng mga nakamotorcycle na dumadaan kasi nakaharang ako. Iiyak na sana ako when this good samaritan knocked on my window and asked if I wanted to park. I said yes. Hinawi niya some of the motorcycles that were parked in front of the drug store to make room for a parking slot for me. I was so grateful.
I fell in line inside the store. Dami tao. I never took off my mask. Takot na takot na ako magka-Covid ulit. Chances are the people in line buying meds have symptoms and a big chance have the virus.
I was able to get my meds. Finally.
A lot messaged me na we can call pala or viber the Mercury branches to ask if available yung medicine that you need. You can have them picked up by Grab or Lalamove or yourselves. The numbers of the Mercury branches are in their website. Check niyo na lang.
Anyway, I am just grateful that I was able to buy my medicines. No more self-pity. Walang magagawa yun.
To all of you out there who are sick, whatever sickness you have, physical or mental man yan, hugs to you. The start of 2022 sucks talaga. But let’s all pray that it will get better. Things will get better.
Let’s believe.
