Thrive to spite them
The voices in my head are back, and I'm very happy. About four days after I started taking the Zoloft, everything went quiet. I've normally got a commentary/daydream/soundtrack running in the background, but for three days there was nothing. Not even the my thoughts were making themselves known. Horrible. I'd rather have meltdowns than echoes.
connie, I felt like that when I first got out of the hospital and was on...well different medicine than I'm on now... I was sitting in my living room alone and no running commentay/daydreaming anything. I thought "huh, so this is what normal people are like. Damn this is boring." Luckily it all evened out. But I noticed after being on the Straterra (for ADD) and then off of it and back on that my mental "talkiness" is dialed down but I don't notice it as much so it's easier for me to concentrate. Which is good.
That sitting on the couch moment happened NINE years ago in June. I almost can't believe it. Last night I was looking through Facebook and seeing people I knew from high school and middle school and feeling inadequate and really down because I haven't gotten so far. I'm a receptionist with no college degree who could use some social skills and some lessons on Being a Better Friend to Others. But then I look at how far I've actually come and it's pretty damn amazing. So I have to keep reminding myself of that.

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.
askye, I think you have plenty to be proud of.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Happy Birthday Juliana!

"huh, so this is what normal people are like. Damn this is boring."
Yes! I figured that's why there's so much bad television, because most people's minds are silent and they need something to fill it up.
If that's normal, I don't want to go.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I dunno, nobody I know is without an inner monologue. Maybe really stupid people have that quiet, but it seems really rare in my experience.

Compassionately intolerant
In snarkier moments, of which I am not proud, I have severely judged people who answer the question "What are you thinking?" with "Nothing." And mean it.
On the other hand, given the content of my particular dialog, sometimes I'm envious of that response.
