no you weren't condescending I was just really bothered by Bill at that moment, I have to deal with a lot of businesses as part of my job, but he was by far one of the most obnoxious. But happily I am back to my usual self today

National Health Service... its the mostly free health system we have in the UK. As an American, I have to admit I am terribly interested in free (or mostly free) health care, can I ask, whats wrong with it? Not what your specific problem was, but what you see as wrong with it in general.

As with most free things, its limited. There's not enough funding, waiting lists are huge, certain treatments (things like CBT for example) are unavailable in certain areas; help when you do get it as regards mental health is not that great (they seem to want to put everyone on pills because its cheaper than long term counselling/therapy). In my case I was given only 8 sessions of CBT spread over 16 weeks for my agoraphobia when its a problem that really needs considerably more. It's not so bad for physical conditions but when it comes to mental health, its pretty pants.

But it is easier to get in to see someone if you need to, provided you can afford it, which almost no one can, or provided you have insurance, and that insurance is good enough to cover mental health as well, which most aren't unless you work for a really good company.

Sometimes I get so fucking sick of my brain constantly working against me. "Karen your stupid. Karen your ugly. Karen your boring, and horrible and selfish, everyone is just putting up with you. Karen why are you even alive. Why do you continue, when your life is so stupid and meaningless. karen your pathetic, everyone can tell. Karen your blah blah blah blah blah fucking blah"
Gee brain thanks so much. really its just what I need. Good to know your on my side. Forget thinking positively, sometimes I feel like I expend the majority of my energy just on acting normal, or what I imagine to be normal. But today I am so fucking tired and fed up with every thing, most of all myself.
fuck. I needed to get that off my chest. Sorry for the depressing shit.

So, I realize this was posted forever ago now, but......I totally get this. ---------------------------------------- If anyone seriously wants to do me a real favor...............................feel free to track me down and shoot me now. Yeah. A part of me was kinda hoping the world really would've ended May 21 (though I knew that shit was bogus anyway). Would've ended on at least a semi-positive note. But, that little deal obviously didn't happen. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.......here I am again. wooooooo meh. meh. meh. meh. meh. meh. meh MEH. Oh, and "animal brain".....I fucking hate you. As crappy as I feel at the moment.....like..............I'd really rather tomorrow(or today ) not begin and for tonight...to not end........... because............ I could really, really, really, really benefit from time freezing right now. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe not. But at this minute moment, the thought of it is quite nice. OMG

Thanks again, Karen! I'm feeling better at the moment...fortunately.... because..... I DID IT, I DID IT.................... I FRICKEN DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that's what matters at this very moment. I went through with it. An interview. I might add more details later......when I start to really hate myself for stupid things I said during, or whatever....but right now..... I'm just soaking up the fact that I went through with it!! In spite of every fiber in my body want to run the hell away and avoid it like the plague. (*cough*...still wouldn't mind being sent back to a long ago time, though....)Just another one of my mental freak-outs down. You can probably expect more to come often within.........oh, who am I kidding? For forever.

bit of a facebook rant..... why the fuck would someone add you, only to "unfriend" you within a week or two of your acceptance??? Someone did this to me, and it sort of pissed me off. I mean....FINE, I didn't want to add you to begin with, anyway!! (not that there was anything bad there between us to begin with, there wasn't...at least not to my knowledge...) But whatever. I'm not adding anyone from my past ever again, unless they somehow become a part of my present. It's completely fucking pointless to add someone, just to add someone. Especially if you don't intend on ever communicating with them. It's just for being snoopy, or whatever...and then immediately discard you? I mean, really...at least have the decency to wait long enough to the point where if I realize someone's missing, I can't figure out who it is. Seriously, fuck the whole thing. Maybe I should just disable the add friend thing on my account
