Declan, if you've got a place to park your person and a tool like a pen, or a computer, or a piece of paper. You've got an office too! I remember one of my friends wants to be reincarnated as a knickknack on my desk. Current knickknacks include a plush ladybug and a plush teddybear dressed as a lady bug, a card of a white kitty wearing a diamond tiara and collar, and my personal favorite, an piece of memory foam molded in the shape of a left human ear, about 3 times life sized. My Piglet puppet has fallen on the floor behind my desk (it's hibernating for the winter).

> On the panic/depersonalisaion front, there are certainly drugs to settle you down, but not so many that make you feel normal. If you can lead your (I assume busy) life on your meds, that's great. You must have good reasons to take them.yes, I think you're right. life is busy (procrastinating and babbling) but yeah, I'm busy, so I guess that's good. I take them so that my mind will be calm enough to hold at least 2 bits of information in working memory for 5 seconds. That's all.
> If I could have my time over again I would take the advice of my parents and avoid psychiatrists, and maybe try (what wasn't an option then) traditional Chinese medicine or similar stuff. I was just fearful. But fear early on leads to depression much later, perhaps.
Your parents had good advice? wow, you're lucky! fear definitely precurses my depression.

> Now with the DSM there's no trouble boxing and branding. I'm not exactly saying I want to return to the Middle ages, but a nice sinecure in C16 Prague would be OK.what is this C16 Prague thing?
do tell.
p.s. I wrote about how my self esteems are assaulting each other on the psychology board. yuck. hate the thought that I created this insanity.
