I can really relate to that dead-but-not-dead feeling of oppressive stillness that comes at moments like the one you describe. If you've read enough of my stuff, you know that I abused alcohol and pills continuously while wrestling with my illness over the past eight years. I can remember watching the shadows move across my bedroom walls, thinking that the entire rest of the world was ticking along like an efficient watch while I, like a discarded and unnecessary cog, remained motionless. Thanks for posting. :) Atticus
