I have been drinking a concoction of orange juice, Emergen-C (1000mg of C, plus B7 and B12), protein powder and psyllium fiber. It's like rocket fuel.
Mix in a few Rolos and you got yourself the nectar of the gods!
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Have they at least told you why?

Huh, found a therapist already. She seems perfect. Now to check with insurance to see if they'll reimburse, put together a proposal for spending the fees upfront with Hubby, and to address that horrific knot in my stomach that came up when I realized that "Yes, there is someone who would be willing to listen to me." It doesn't help that I looked at the nice lady's picture on her webpage and felt something snarl "Huh, she's just a baby, what does she know?"

All of those would be excellent news to have, but no. (Gods how I wish the JGL one were though! Possibly also the killing someone with my pinky.)

What does it say about my mental health when I say to myself "Sessions with a therapist or a netbook? Which would I rather have?" Happier brain space or a new gadget? It is a ponder. Possibly because I expect a netbook to work better out of the box than my mind.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Connie, I think a lot of people would struggle with that. Because when you buy a gadget, you know exactly what you're getting. And the chances it's DOA are small. Finding a therapist one clicks with and one's own progress while in therapy are variable and thus not a "I hand over this much $ and you give me this much mental health" kind of exchange.

Plus, netbook? Instant gratification. Therapy? Not so much.
However, therapy is SO worth it in the long run.

I hope they get things fixed up quickly, ND.

Speaking of therapy, I may need to find a low-cost therapist soon if I can't afford to get out of here. Practically my first interaction with my mom this morning was something angry and dismissive. This coupled with feeling pretty invisible in the various fora in which I participate has got me about this close to a meltdown moment. Only, when you're broke and carless, your options for going somewhere to get away from it all are pretty seriously curtailed.
