Years ago, I had an absolutely brilliant clinical psych professor. We were talking about a woman who had been admitted to the psych ER with a paper bag over her head. She wouldn't remove it because she said she would turn everyone who saw her to stone because she was so ugly that death rays and other bad things were shooting out of her. Knowing that we were all thinking "Wow, this is really weird," the prof said, "It is only a matter of amplitude. How many days do we wake up feeling something of those same feelings? Can we really not identify with her? We are all human, most of us just don't need to use paper bags."

So, my dear Obsidian, you are having one of those "paper bag" days. It happens. Be good to yourself because it will pass.

Hope you feel better soon.

Best, Lucie
