Statistically insignificant

Statistically insignificant

"
We wait to pick up our medicine.
Everyone around me looks normal.
I look mentally ill.
My eyes are pacing.
My fingers swim.
I'm anxious. Why am I anxious?
What's happening today?
Is there something I forgot?

I wait to pick up my medicine.
How many people have waited here?
They all look normal.
I haven't showered in a while.
I ran over, so I'm sweaty too.
She hesitates because the clerk is busy.
Of course, that guy asks about the medicine.
I do that.
I pressed the wrong button... will it work still?
Do I remember my pin?

I haven't been able to sleep lately. 
I have my medicine, but...
I don't want to sleep.
My day isn't over, I didn't start it
I can't reset.
There's something that I need to do.
I can't do it.
I can't move.
Just work a little bit.
Can't move.
Only a little.
I'm sitting.
I need to do something
I'm trapped by myself, alone.
Nobody can help me.
