Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

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 too shall pass.

I'm sorry, quester. You never get accustomed to people dying. Never gets easier. Unfortunately it does get more frequent with age.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That's a gut punch, Quester. So sorry.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I should get dressed and go to CVS and pick up some prescriptions. But I feel all tired and blah. But the prescriptions will (hopefully) make me feel less tired and blah. But I still need to get dressed and drive over there and talk to the pharmacist and probably wait for them to be filled, since there are insurance issues.

I brushed my teeth, then felt dizzy and had to sit down again. I'll go to the pharmacy tomorrow.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

[CW: suicidal ideation] [NOT mine]

ISTG, Tim's not!son is a swirling vortex of chaos. The dude is still in jail (though I think in the next week or 2 he "graduates" to a halfway house), so you'd think we wouldn't have to deal with his bullshit. But no. Everything in his life is just imbued with the same chaos-generating force.

His girlfriend showed up on our doorstep 2 hours ago and announced that she's suicidal and actively planning it and just needs somewhere to get away from her mom for a few hours, so she's here to play with Murderbiscuit, and marched on into our house.

Prior to that she had apparently talked on the phone with Tim for quite a while, and I am super annoyed that he didn't bother to even text me with a heads-up that she was suicidal and going to park herself in our living room while I was trying to work.

And I am 100%, 1000%, vastly unqualified to even deal with someone who's actively making plans to kill themself. I don't know how to deal with it. Other than try to dial down the extreme panic response it sparks in me. And furthermore, I shouldn't fucking have to deal with this. Tim finally got home from work, and I retreated into the bedroom with the excuse of finishing my editing (which I am obviously not doing), and he can fucking deal with her.

I am super full of rage right now, which is not the most compassionate response to someone who's in so much pain they're contemplating suicide, but hey. I didn't act on my rage. And I am REALLY glad I have therapy tomorrow.

And I have no idea what happens next. I can't force her to go to the psych ER, but that's where she belongs.
