Probably the wrong time to get all introspecty?
I would hypothesise that it's never the right time for that kind of introspection.

[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Tep, dearest, that doesn't sound to me like introspection, so much as rabid brainweasels. Thirding the Step Away.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Brainweasels might explain the pain in my damn haid. OUT, WEASELS!

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Amych is wise. Pay attention to amych.
The brainweasels are not your friends. amych is your friend.
That is all.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
If migraines are contagious, clearly I know who to blame. Ow.
And no, do not make any decisions right now.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Don't listen to the brainweasels, Steph. Karl and Amych are both very wise.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Probably the wrong time to get all introspecty?
YES. STEP AWAY FROM THE INTROSPECTION.
I concur with Jilli. And her capitalization.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
No introspection allowed on Mondays. That's a universal rule, dammit. None.
Or, as my therapist would say, when you are unsure of your state of mind due to depression or pain or both, DO THE OPPOSITE.
So no eating disorder. No cosmetic surgery. No breaking up.

Introspection that always comes out with your being a loser is not the real thing.

Thrive to spite them
Those are horrid brain weasels!
My therapist says to me all the time - Be Kind to Yourself.
Especially when my level of self care drops closer to survival mode.
So, Teppy, Be Kind To Yourself!
When I get really sick my stupid brain goes into DEPRESSION MODE and then my brain starts digging up everything I think I've done wrong or failed or any way I think I've humilated myself and it ends up with lots of tears and dehydration and anxiety.
But it's not real. I mean I feel like crap and the stuff goes through my head but it's not depression and so I have to tell myself my brain's wires are crossed and weather it.
Which means my level of self care goes down to survival mode and everything else gets left behind.
