Lawyers, Fathers and Rants, Oh My!

Well, on Tuesday I got my CPAP machine. Now I get to sound like Darth Vader all on my own. I can't really tell yet if it's helping, but I know it's supposed to. If nothing else, it'll keep me alive through the nights

My dad has to use a CPAP. He's had Sleep Apnia for YEARS. As for therapists... I've been there and done that. And lemmie tell you somethin'... unless you're willing to talk about it all (and I do mean ALL) then you'll wind up coming to an impasse and wasting your money. I don't know about you but I wasn't ready to talk about all the shitty skeletons in my life's closet and I don't know if I ever will be. So I wound up sticking to talking about the possibility of dying and how it affected other people more than it seemed to affect me and... anyway it wasn't the stuff that HE said I needed to talk about. Finally we decided that we weren't going to get anywhere and I quit going. Doctors... completely suck both figuratively and literally. They're like vampires for the pocketbook rather than for the blood they SHOULD crave. Hmm... birth control. Nice idea but I can't use the pill, patch, or shot (having tried them) and Adam is allergic to latex so condoms are out. *laughs* Just our luck, right? Besides there's no telling about

So far I think I like the machine - when I fall asleep without it I'm real conscious of the breathing, and when it stops. I don't know that I'm sleeping better with it, but I do know I'm breathing better with it

Ive still not seen episode 3 yet. As for fathers day.. i helped my dad move a chuck of hot heavy tar.. Ive been to 2 shrinks before. 1 when i was really young.. 10-ish or something like that. I walked out in front of a car chasing a ball. I didnt see nor hear the car. Well, i eneded up going to a mental ward in a hospital for 3 weeks. That was alright tho, i was able to play the old comp games when i was "at class". The classics like odel lake, and number munchers. after 3 weeks i was let out. I still have no idea really why i was put in there. i guess my mom thought i was trying to commit suicide or something. The second time i saw a shrink, i was like 14-15. And it was cause i was wearing dresses and such, and fighting with the stepmonster. So i had to see the shrink for like 2 months, and join a support group. neither really did any good. Ive actually been wondering what the shrink said to the parents about my actions, but ive just been too afraid to ask my parants what he said. and i have no idea who i saw so i cant request my

I highly recommend episode 3 - it's all neatly tied together. My only complaint with it is the acting, it coulda been better.
Atleast you did something together for Father's Day... Though I spose it coulda been something more fun. But, whatever works! And it's prolly something he really appreciated.
I don't understand why they sent you there when you were 10 - that makes no sense to me. The second time they prolly just told your parents that you were 'going through a phase' or something and that you'd grow out of it. I'll let you know what's going on when I do see one - if it helps I'll recommend it to ya, since I know things aren't so easy on ya right now. But, that will have to wait till I've got money.

Money... People say money cant buy happiness... Well, they no bottle happiness, there are about 5 different types of drugs that can. Money is the root of all evil...
