On the Bright Side...

... I know exactly what to do for a broken toe. This is good, see, because given the swelling, bruising, and pain, I'm reasonably sure I just re-broke mine.

Ow.

Yikes... on the coffeepot and the boss who can't deal with reality testing procedures!

I've had visual hallucinations when my depression got really bad. (I have this special scale I use for my own depression, see, and "really bad" means that if you ask me how I'm doing, I laugh at you in what I'm told is a fairly disturbing manner...)

"The furniture and wall are melting into each other. I am reasonably sure that this behavior is inconsistent with the nature of both the furniture and the wall, but it is right there and they are obviously melting into each other. Oh, and I'm melting into the sofa, which presents a more immediate problem. Hrm. Okay, back to 'what I commonly accept to be true about the nature of matter.' I do not lose definition at my edges and seep into furniture. Furniture does not seep into me. Maybe I should go for a walk or something. Um, apparently I can't move. Okay, I'm fairly certain that the paralysis is not in fact because I'm seeping into the sofa, but is attributable to the same thing which is causing me to see and feel things which are not actually happening. I hope. A lot."

(I also have to do reality testing at night before going to the bathroom, because, well, I have really realistic dreams...)

Gad, neurology. What fun!
