a fairly accurate description. i'm thwomped after the last week or so.

so what do you do, and where do you go, when you just want to be alone and recuperate. (from physical or emotional trauma.) do you have any special pick-me-ups or routines or habits?

jess, Wednesday, 6 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

right now my only option is my bed, i think, but it's not all that great because half of it is filled with clothes and junk and my room in general looks like a college freshmans dorm roome xploded in here.

arrrgh.

jess, Wednesday, 6 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wake up around 10, watch stuff like Kilroy and DIY shows. Walk in the park with my dog Dougal (hopefully, it's a cold sunny day). Lunch, spaghetti on toast and Ribena. Long afternoon nap (with appropriate soundtrack). Go to the park again. Tea with muffins. Watch kids TV or Cookery shows. By the evening I feel fine.

This is sort of a perfect day for me. Works everytime!

jel, Wednesday, 6 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

if you don't look after your bed it won't look after you

(jess why does geocities nevah allow me into your blog?)

maybe cos diaryland isn't working at the moment. its a pain in the arse.

di, Wednesday, 6 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's all the "pick-me-ups" that have me so low right now. Routines, habits, hah! I'm still kind of enjoying it, though. I'm a very sick man.

Sean, Wednesday, 6 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like to go for a walk, for emotional trauma, its sofa surfing for physical trauma. God help me if I ever get both at once.

Ed, Wednesday, 6 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

when days are awful i go to sleep to make time disappear before i have to deal with it again.

Maria, Wednesday, 6 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i lie in bed listening to AM radio on my headphones, spesh if i can't sleep.

di, Wednesday, 6 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Can't sleep. Hehe.

Sean, Wednesday, 6 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm a mess.

Sean, Wednesday, 6 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

jess i know this isn't what you want to hear, but here it is: tidy up your room. not the source of the problem you say. not that big a deal you say. shut up. do it. you will feel amazing.

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

throw everything out yr dorm window and start agaian....take up a religion for a week and then dump it...smile at everyone you see no matter how fucked they are....

goeff, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Untuned AM radio is the BEST! Yeah listen to it! Also tidying your room will work wonders. It will be so lovely when it's nice and clean and you can relax in it and DRINK A COLD BEER.

Incidentally, if my fridge is reading, I said COLD BEER, not FROZEN BEER. When I pick up a can of Stella from the fridge it is not meant to be CRUNCHY you OVER COLD BASTID.

Sarah, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Starry, props to you for the untuned AM call. I once had an old Phillips turntable which, if you didn't put the needle down, would pick up Radio Moscow WOrld Service in a half-tuned manner. Some frea of wiring. It was very quiet, very very beautiful.

misterjones, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

curl up in a ball and cry desperately for a couple of hours, convinced that you would be better off dead. fall asleep and it will seem better in the morning (though your looks will ahem have suffered)

katie, Thursday, 7 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

tidying a messy room actually does rule in situations like these because you can get lost in the process and at the end, you have all these BARE SURFACES to look at!!!

One gets the feeling that if ILX was Survivor, wanko would already have failed.

Just got offed, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 00:23 (eighteen years ago)

I don't have any Provigil!!! My second patient assistance app hasn't come thru and I don't have a med appt for another 9 days and do you have any idea how much that shit costs uninsured & w/out the help of this free clinic (thank god) that is down the street from me? Besides it's pretty much of an upper and would only exacerbate shit right now.

Abbott, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 00:25 (eighteen years ago)

exacerbate

up there with 'parapraxis' and 'undulate' on my favourite words list

I don't even want to pick the man up from work bcz diving home from school today it was really hard for me not to drive into one of those giant metal phone poles. God help me.

Abbott, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 00:33 (eighteen years ago)

ILX is a kind of reverse survivor.

"There are those who argue that everything breaks even in this old dump of a world of ours. I suppose these ginks who argue that way hold that because the rich man gets ice in the summer and the poor man gets it in the winter things are breaking even for both. Maybe so, but I'll swear I can't see it that way."

Any free clinic or ER should be able to help you out, if you're in some dire circumstances, esp. if you've gotten scripts filled there before. Do you have a mental health hotline for your town/university? They should be able to give you pointers as to where to go next.

hope you feel better.

kingfish, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 00:59 (eighteen years ago)

I can't afford the ER...I've got bills from them already that I'm just throwing away bcz there's no way I can pay them. Nowhere else is open. Will look into hotline. Thx, sorry to complain.

I've never tried the E.R. for psychological crises. I wouldn't expect much!

Hang in there, Abbott.

wanko ergo sum, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 01:03 (eighteen years ago)

I went to an ER the first time I had a panic attack and, you know, I had no idea what was happening and figured my heart and head were just fighting to see which would explode first. They said you're having an anxiety attack, there's nothing we could do really but give you some atavan and that's ridiculous. I said nevermind and walked out before receiving any real treatment beyond having my blood pressure checked. Two weeks later I received a $250 bill.

OK is that a game or what

wanko ergo sum, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 01:13 (eighteen years ago)

i thought it was one of those games where you have to avoid crashing into things, but it's not, and now i just want to play one of those games.

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 7 November 2007 01:14 (eighteen years ago)

First I wanted to see the goose shit on the guy, then I tried in every way to make the guy shoot the goose, I reflected on how much better the music is than my sister's boyfriend's David Sylvian albums, and then I gave up.

wanko ergo sum, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 01:16 (eighteen years ago)

Please don't explode Abbott. Perhaps a warm bath and some green tea with vodka in it would help?

Abbott, brains are treacherous things, especially when they brew up a big, sloppy batch of emotions out of a bunch of molecules they have hanging around in the cupboard that they can't think of anything better to do with but to drive you batty. You can't even reach inside your head and turn the shutoff valve when your brain starts exuding its own brand of bug juice. Too bad.

It should pass eventually. Until then, try not to rip your skin off with vexation. Skin comes in handy for so many things, you can never tell when you'll need yours.
