> So, right now, I just don't give much a darn about anything. Except if I have some breakthrough anxiety or hostility. I don't feel particularily emotionally depressed or happy, just apathetic, flat and lonely. It's been this way for a few weeks.

> Also, I've had a cold or something for a couple of weeks and in the last few days it's developed into Pleursy. For the uninitiated, Pleurisy is an inflammation of the outer lining of the lungs. You can barely breath or move and it hurts like crazy. Every time you breath in, it feels like getting stabbed. The ER doc gave me some Ultracet, duratuss and Lodine for it. For me, this combo feels way wierd.

Is this a multiple-choice test? "Apathy, recovery, or pleurisy. Choose one."I'd say wait until you are over your infection. Assuming you care....
Pleurisy sounds so Victorian. Maybe you can do a Camille or wasted rock star act. Doesn't work if you don't have a receptive audience. Then it's just even more lonely (been there). You have to change your own sheets and all.
I sure hope you didn't catch this mizry by being too poor to get adequate health care.
Wish I was there to soothe your fevered brow or bring you a casserole or something.
I.
