Self-medication. I'd guess we all do it to some extent or another. For me, the medication changes to deal with the same issues. I wonder if that's better/worse than using the same medication to deal with different issues. I suppose it depends on the issues. I suppose it depends on the medication. I suppose I'm talking in circles.
I just got a call where the guy was trying to get me to tell him who called him at 4am yesterday morning. "I have the number, can you tell me who the person is?" I don't know if he was drunk or high or just the product of a backwoods beastiality brawl. "You see, it's been randomly bothering me." Randomly bothering? Oh shit...I can't write shit this good.
Nathan's grandmother (Oma) died today or yesterday. (My times are screwed up on graveyard) This comes at such a pivotal time in his recovery. I have this inner picture of his family bonding over the loss. I don't know if that's hopefulness or clairvoyance.
This loss, coupled with the e-mail dialogue of the past few days knocked something together as far as speaking with my mother. I sent an e-mail to explain what has angered me so.
As I suspected, my sister is at the age where comprehension of the world around her has arrived. I fowarded her the perviously entry to get her thoughts. She was quite articulate in her response. Funny too. Soon I will share with her the journal entries of my teenage years.
