Never ending story

Question:

No giro (surprise, surprise). I phoned the DWP. Oh, said the woman, we haven’t sent it out yet. They’re sharp there, I tell you. Do you think you might like to send it out, I enquired gently. Well, I do have about ten of then to do (Do what? I wondered. Click a mouse? Press a carriage return?). I’ll be staying late tonight, I’ll try to do it then and post it out tomorrow. Hopefully. I have ordered fifty grammes of lithium carbonate. If I decide on a soma holiday I won’t be worrying about the return trip. Bri — Palestine Lives! group hosted by Yahoo!

You say you’ve been offered help – bureaucracy isn’t a good enough reason

to find out what you’d reincarnate as. It’s not the money – as you say, I’ve been offered that. It’s my life. Every part of my life is like this. I have the ‘reverse Midas touch’, as I call it. Everything I attempt ends up in quagmire. I’ve posted about it here. I’ve posted about some of it in uk.legal. I went for CBT on account of my ‘negative outlook’ only to discover my outlook is realistic – my life really is shit. I’m tired. I can’t face any more. Bri — Palestine Lives! group hosted by Yahoo!

I’m in the therapeutic range on 600mg, so 1g is probably toxic for me.

They might also            just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?

        Now I can’t get Cliff Richard out of my head.  He’s in there warbling, over and over, "We’re all goin’ on a… soma holiday, a… soma holiday".  Been decades since I read that book, so I found a Huxley web site with, as it happens, a *long* list of just "soma" quotes.     Still a downer.

all our lives are shit. but not entirely shit.  there’s some good stuff there too.  have to find the good stuff and focus on that.  very difficult to do.  (I’m having a devil of a time doing it.) take a nap, get some rest, drink some green tea, eat something good-tasting and nutritious. this too will pass.  i know it will because I’ve been through it more than once.  it always passes.

Thrown? The muscle spasms were such as to physically project me.

Well, that sucks. Do you suffer from PTSD, by any chance? Or were you subjected to intense fear when you were a child? You do not tell me what is going on. — Teilhard The Extraterrestrial Eat the sandwich to email

Response:

intense fear when you were a child? No and no. I’m coming off venlafaxine and I hope this is just one of the withdrawal effects. Thanks for your concern.

Cramps like that are awful.

Might it help if I come over and massage in some warm oil? Bri — "We must do everything to insure they never return. The old will die and the young will forget." (Ben Gurion, London Sunday Times, 14 June 1969)

LOL!! What I do to make the cramp feel better, actually, is put my leg on a position to where it least hurts, and massage it with my fingers where it hurts the most, (usually right in the center of the cramp) it doesn’t make it go away, but it makes the pain bearable, and actually, IMO feel good a bit.

Response:

I woke up this morning being thrown from my bed, screaming in agony. Cramp in my calf. It’s only pain, but at least I feel something. Bri — "We must do everything to insure they never return. The old will die and the young will forget." (Ben Gurion, London Sunday Times, 14 June 1969)

Thrown? You do not mean someone came and throw you out of your bed, do you? What is going on? Do you move a lot when you sleep, or something particular is going on with you at the moment that is giving you a hard time? — Teilhard The Extraterrestrial Eat the sandwich to email

OMG!  I hate those!!  I get them allot, especially because I jog a whole lot, and my legs cramp easily.  Cramps like that are awful.  I actually cry, and scream until someone in my house wakes up, and yells "Shut up and go to bed, damn it!". The story will have a happy ending!!! It might take a while, but it will. (((BRI)))
