So I went to my drug therapist last night.  I realized that he is a rather attractive man, bald head, gorgeous eyes, stylish frames, and an accent.  ME-OW!

Okay anyway.  I told him about the gerbil incident at work, and how they are always eating chips and salsa or whatever.  He asked "Where do you work?!"  I shrugged and said "In an office - " ... he immediately made the association ... "Aww yes, I know what you are talking about, they do this" (he gestures with both hands going back and forth from his mouth as if he is putting food into it) "and then they do this" (he gestures with both hands that he's getting wider) "and it's crunch crunch chomp all day long".  Okay, so you don't have to be crazy to be annoyed by this, or maybe he is crazy ... they say it's the shrinks that need the shrinking.

I told him how they took my headphones away.  He said "Well, loosing your job would be no good because of your bi-polar ... I think you need a mood stabilizer, you are doing worse"

Thanks for being so blunt.

"We won't do Zyprexa, that made you fat"

Yes sir it did ... and I'm still trying to loose that excess weight, thank you very much.

"Let's try Geodon, do you want to try Geodon?  It will give you a longer fuse"

(The gerbil, just made a mimic crunch noise, then said "Crunch crunch crunch" ... I think the guy on the other side of her might actually be bugging her with his obsessive chip eating this morning.  So far it hasn't bugged me, that much ... but he is further away and a cubicle wall blocks us)

Sure why not, give me more drugs.  Yippee.  Now I get to take 3 different pills, but 4 a day.  

"It will not make you zombie, more like, yeaaah ... okay" (as he sat back and made a stoner looking face) "you'll feel more relaxed.  That will be good, okay?"

"Sure, that sounds good"

Then he sent me out and said "We get you happy, yes?"  I smile and nod. He says "It was nice seeing you again"  Okay then.

So I'm eating instant oatmeal because he said it absorbs better with food or milk.  He said it might take a few days to fully work, and I might feel sleepy for a few days.  I should figure out if I should take it in the morning or at night, but to start in the morning.

I love the little crazy car symbol on the bottle ... the "use caution while operating a car of dangerous machinery" symbol.  It makes me think of the curves ahead road signs.

It will be interesting having a longer fuse if this works.  He wants me back in 4 weeks to see if it is working, apparently some people it does not work for.  If it does work, I can tolerate more of the dumb-asses in the world.
