The whole thing has put me in kind of a defiant black humor. I am channeling my inner Way brothers and muttering "Motherfucker!" a lot and then laughing. Fuck this notion of a day job. I'm going to direct my energy to writing and talking to my contacts about the slim chance of me getting some sort of reality show. I just have to stop laughing hysterically, first.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Embrace the hysterical laughter. It brings power.

My father, my sister, and I are all on the same antidepressant, and each of us arrived at that with different doctors, without consulting each other.
My dad and I recently compared notes, and yeah. We are on the same antidepressant, put on it by different doctors at different times. While I have issues (okay, fine, subscriptions), I also now accept that my body doesn't make some of the chemicals it needs, and the medication isn't a crutch.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Tommy, there is a Bipolar II designation--also called cyclothymia which is a milder form of bipolar disorder.
There I am!!

There should be a club.
With a bar.

I hear TLC is about to have a timeslot free!
Sorry, Seska - my post was badly phrased. I was trying to agree with your point that mental and physical illnesses ought to be treated equivalently by doctors and the general public.
(Mild carpal tunnel can sometimes be treated with PT alone, but there's no stigma attached to needing steroid injections or surgery if that's what is medically indicated. And there's no reason mental illness should be treated any differently.)

Oh fuck - can I get some of that chocolate too?
We've known for weeks that something was going on around here. Rumor now is that we'll know for sure by Monday if our department will continue to exist or not.
