Storing boxes under the bed: forget it, might as well be a black hole.

The words "hallelujah" and "anaconda" have similar phonetics and thus my brain sometimes confuses the two.
"It's a cold and it's a broken anaconda... anaconda, anaconda...": weird.
"My hallelujah don't want none unless you got buns, hun": REALLY weird.

Me: I wish someone would ask me how I am so I'm not just carrying all these big feelings inside.

Things I could mean when I say "I'm fine":
1. I am doing okay, nothing interesting to talk about.
2. I'm definitely not okay, and talking about it right now won't help.
I hate it when people treat "I'm fine" like an invitation to probe into my Actual Feelings. If I wanted to talk about my feelings I would.

The fact that I lost over two years of my life to psychosis prodrome, a little more than two more to the psychosis itself, and then two and a half to the antipsychotics (totaling seven years, ten months, and fifteen days, but who's counting)...
...and I no longer experience psychosis symptoms. I don't even think about it most of the time.

A thing I experience, having been mentally ill to some degree for thirty years now, is that sometimes I just get so overwhelmingly BORED of my symptoms.
Whoop de freaking do, that's the seventh day straight of severe anxiety. I've cycled through the insomnia, loss of appetite, muscle pain, and heart palpitations multiple times. I'm at the point of being mind-numbingly bored of having anxious symptoms.
