Went to see the therapist. She's not bad, but I kinda came out feeling worse then when I went in. I'll give her a month or two, see how it works.

My next assignment in Creative Writing is a short story, due Thursday. This is a problem, because while I have plenty of characters running around in my head (Adam the sociopathic murderer, Najwa the mute Pakistani scientist’s assistant, Tom and Scott the brothers born the same year but on opposite ends of it), but no full fledged stories. It's annoying.

Also, linkie:

Anyone who knows a tiny bit about Megaman should go read this comic

I know how that is--I've had it happen more than once. =\ It kind of makes the whole thing seem pointless some days.

And I always have characters running about in my head, and not enough actual plots. Lately I haven't been able to think of any plots. >_< It's enough to drive me crazy. Your characters sound like they'd make for interesting reading, though. =D

They're great people(except for Adam, who is just plain creepy), but I've got no idea what to do with them. All my plotbunnies are things like Armada Fred angst or minicon slash.

I think a lot of the reason you come out feeling worse than when you went in is because you are exposed to ugly truths about yourself while you are mucking about in the worst parts of your life and memory.

I didn't tell her much more then I'd tell anyone else, but then again I've never been one to be secretive. I spill my guts (about myself, of course, I can keep other people's secrets) to anyone who asks.

But I think if you just talk long enough you wind up telling yourself what you want to know. Maybe that's why it works like that.

Hope it goes all right. Don't go making yourself feel worse if you can go find someone else that maybe works better for you than she does. *hugs and hopes that makes sense... -_-*

Thanks. I'm going to try her for a little bit and see how it works out. Good thing the insurance is covering it or I'd just stay home talking to Scorponok.

I have to admit, I boggle every time I hear about people having to pay their own medical bills and similar. I'm too used to having the NHS over here, although it's only a bit older than I am. *pets Scorponok*

Take care of yourself, y'hear?

That's because you British people are smarter then us. We have Medicare, which is almost useless.

It's good in theory, yes... In practice, the Tories pulled most of the funding out of it and now things are just about stabilising x amount of years later. *pulls a face*

What's that? *curious look* Insurance or something?

[identity profile] seiberwing.livejournal.com 2005-09-20 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of. Those who can't afford it, like older people, are supposed to get money for medications and such from the government. However, they've been cutting back on it a lot lately. Many people just abruptly lost whatever little coverage they had.

Gives you an idea of what's going on that some people sell their pain medications for food instead of taking them.

Ugh.

Ugh. <:( I can't think of anything that won't sound trite, but that is just horrible. At least you'd get some kind of help from the NHS hospitals, although there's the chance of you coming out with a superbug or two. >_<

My family and I have insurance and my mom knows the mental health care system like Dreadmoon knows Kalis so we're doing all right.

But it really sucks for the poorer people, yet another reason America needs to get its act together and merge with Canada.

Don't worry about it, mate. You just stand there and look pretty. *smiles*

Not you, the other Scorponok. Big tall and Terrorcony.
