It’s probably all they can manage to say other than the ‘You are crazier than batshit’ that they actually want to say.

I know exactly what you mean. I keep telling the shrinks that I suppose they’re just waiting for me to “get accustomed to the new volume”… and as shrinks do, they blink… and agree….

Why do they always agree?!!!!

A nasty old arm throteling me that doesnt sound fun at all i think this we must be rewarded thing comes from too much listening to my cpn and her bloody mindfulness stuff. Really I should go back to my old ways of ripping every word she says into pieces with clever overthinking. Hannah X

EC – Ah the wonders of Lamictal. I hope it works as well for you as it has for Aik. I have struggled with the slow hill of recovery for a year now. It is hard, and there’s a lot less drama involved, just pure slow hard work. Less excuses. It does however bring with it moments of hope, clarity and tottering steps towards actually enjoying life.
Which is so shocking I can’t quite believe such a thing could ever happen. It might not, but I hope so.
Sadly my blog has gone right downhill since I stopped being permanently depressed and/or skating up from or down into a depression. What the hell does one write about if not about how miserable life is?

CM – Well, I didn’t quite say I was a lost cause, I meant that once the emotions grab onto me I am a lost cause, for that particular battle. I didn’t word it very well though. I write quickly, and with little thought for clarity. Oh look I used clarity twice in once comment.
Thank you for your comment. Whats this ‘we must be rewarded’ malarkey though? Better get that idea out of your head ASAP. Life sucks, until you bludgeon it to death with a large stick of ‘give a shit’. Then when you shuffle over to check on it, it shoots a nasty old arm up and throttles you.

Erm. I’ll just get my coat.
