Poll question: I'm sick, I'm tired, and there's too much stress in my life for one person
Nonetheless, I feel extraordinarily lucky. Am I insane?

1. You were insane before.
Why should that have changed? :shrug:

2. I was not insane.
Just neurotic, paranoid, and delusional.

Get your facts straight, asshole. :grr:

3. Being insane is simply your way of coping
I know how you feel. This has been the worst year in my life in a LONG time in many respects, but on the other hand, one of the best. Love may not fix everything, but it sure gets you through the night. Hang in there, my friend.

And at the risk of sounding corny, I wouldn't trade having my old life back for finding new love for anything.

5. How are you feeling?
Physically, I mean -- after your recent rough patch and all.

I'm better
Edited on Tue Dec-06-05 10:07 AM by prolesunited
The dosage of antibiotic the doctor has me on is enough to kill any living thing in my body. I went back yesterday and he sent me for X-rays because he didn't think I had made enough progress. Although there is still some fluid build-up in my lungs, he pointed out that he was pleased there were not puss-filled abcesses in the bottom corners. So was I. YUCK!

I'm coughing less and my energy level is picking up, but he still wants me to stay in bed as much as possible until Thursday. I'm good to go unless I start suddenly feeling worse. I think we caught it pretty early on. Makes me glad I get neurotic about my health.

Thanks for asking.

Just hang in there. I'm sure things will get better. That's what I keep telling myself.

7. Is that a rhetorical question?
:shrug:

(Something tells me a year from now -- during exams -- I'll be posting the same question.)

10. No...when balancing your life overall, the good outweighs the bad.
So...you feel extraoridinarily lucky. If that makes any sense at all.
