Ah Ha, I have a collection of her videos. Or had actually. My sister took it from me :( But, my best friend bought me the cd "Tales of a Librarian" which also has a DVD of some videos, Pretty Good Year, honey, Northern Lad (one of her best songs I think), Putting the damage on, and Mr Zebra. I haven't watched it yet but I can't wait to!!! She also bought me her newer cd, Scarlet's Walk... I just love Tori!! She's fabulous.. Just watching her perform makes me cry!!!
Wow, you fell alseep at 7pm? That must be relaxing for you. I love it when I fall asleep like that and sleep the whole night through. It's great! Maybe you can drink a small amount of coffee for a little burst of energy? Will that help? I don't like going to sleep that early when I take anxiety meds, just because it wastes the buzz >) I don't take them for the buzz, it's an added bonus though!
<<I remember being in high school and thinking that I was some hippy psychic- it was hilarious. Then, when I went to college and began studying pysch, I realized what the heck was going on with me... in a way, I wish I was just a crazy hippy psychic (haha)
***Oh, I hear that!!! I used to hallucinate quite a bit! I'd see the "devil" in my mirror, and see skeletons walking on the side of the road, but I'd also see "nice" things too like bunny rabbits :) But, at the time, I really honestly thought I was psychic! But in high school, I was more of a punk psychic. Once, I was driving home late at night and I swear I thought I hit somethng. I woke my parents up and they went to investigate. I didn't have a scratch on my car or anything, but I saw a "head" roll off the front of my car. I don't understand why they didn't seek help for me. I was Self injuring at the time as well and they caught me. When they confronted me, I laughed. Hmmm... Odd reaction looking back. But, I'm with you. I wish I were psychic instead!
It's definitely the saving grace- knowing that you and others have gone through the same things and that we aren't insane.
*I agree with that. They are just symptoms. It happenes to me when I am severly depressed, manic, stressed or anxious. I've just learned now to recognize my own body and the times when I'm likely to start hallucinating. I know tht when I start feeling VERY anxious, there's a chance I could start hallucinating. So, I call my Pdoc to start back on an antipsychotic. (I'm not suggesting one for you at all, since this doesn't happen to you frequently) But, it does for me. And since it does, I sometimes need to be on an antipsychotic, though I don't like to take any unnecessary meds. Currently, I'm only on my MS, though I did call and get a script for anxiety meds, I just couldn't take it any longer.
We aren't insane at all!! I'm just glad you're feeling better :)
Cornflake Girl is on now! I like that song a lot!
