I know your confusion; I’ve done shifts for over 25 years, and I have a fun game where I wake up and try and figure out if it’s morning or night, and which day of the week it is

I hadn’t heard of any of these people, their products or their disagreement until I clicked on the article accidentally. Does that mean I won?

I saw someone mentioned The Orphanage, which I was going suggest, so I'll say The Babadook.

I’m halfway through a weekend on call and I haven’t murdered anyone, yet...

It’s those short, glorious moments i remember. Being dragged onto a dance floor by someone I didn’t know was into me, slow dancing then a hesitant kiss turning more intense to the point we didn’t notice the slow music had stopped and we were the only ones dancing that way, with a maelstrom of Uni students dancing and…

Thank you for the help you give your clients. 

I’m currently chasing appointments with counselling, but it feels like a lot of effort for no results; maybe one tried to call me back, but I missed it and they didn’t leave a message and there’s no way of contacting them except email.

Ok, this has drawn me out of my self imposed exile (hey, I’m surprised I lasted as long as it did).

I'm going away now, for a while, and I'll come back when I feel better

I feel like my mind is going down “that road” again; familiar, unwelcome thoughts are returning and I’m getting irritable and easily triggered again. I’m good at maintaining a veneer of doing and feeling okay, and I know…

It was just sick of being Co-oped up all day...
