We forget that the brain is an organ which occasionally needs support
- out of sight, out of mind: which is why when people put on weight they don't see the effects on joints, heart, lungs, liver - 'cos it's all shut away
now if we had a see through instead of solid skin
we could literally keep an eye on our innards ........
I remember the 1990s well: leaping out of bed in the early hours to get dressed then struggling with a cup of tea; sitting for hours, staring at 4 walls or curled up with the cat and dog on top of me ; BBC Radio2 in the background <sigh>. I thought it would never pass. I thought I would never step outside the house again
- I was deeply afraid that the feelings would become worse so couldn't eat, make conversation, read a magazine because my mind was racing ....... Valium takes a while to kick in, I would take one then sit ........ until I realised that symptoms were less, not completely gone but less, enabling me to do a few chores if it was only letting the dog into the garden. Mags: I would take one today mid-afternoon, one at bed-time and another in the morning - is your OH driving you there?
Better now <wave>
