Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I should be in bed. I kept playing Orange Box/Half Life 2. Bad Omnis, no cookie!

Go to bed. I'll happily play half life 2 and eat cookies instead of you. In fact, I read about Dear Esther and I wanna experiment with it.

Which means I might need to start dating gamers again. Because I don't have the equipment for it, and I ain't gonna buy expensive shit when only want to play once in a while.

And I hate one of my instructors, so much.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

{{{Kristin}}} I know this feeling. I wish that there were easy solutions that were not about the meds. Does caffeine make the anxiety worse? If not, it can be a reasonable form of self-medication. Some people find meditation and/or exercise to be effective for breaking through when meds are not getting the job done. The things that have worked for me, aside from meds, were extremely self-destructive.
