Are you ready to listen to me?
   Good. It’s about time.

You think I’m crazy, don’t you?
   Don’t worry, I’m not.

You think I’m making this up for attention?
   Yeah, no.

You think I’m overreacting?
   I am. I just can’t help it.

You think this is funny?
   Right, dry heaving before a social gathering is hilarious.

You don’t get it, do you?
   I’m not expecting you to, since your brain works properly.

You think I’m being dramatic?
   Let’s go get brain scans, and you’ll see how different our brains are.

You think therapy is a waste of money?
   Well, it’s much cheaper than ER visits, not being able to get a job, or burying me.

You think the meds are screwing me up?
   My brain was already screwed up before I went on the meds. They’re helping to
fix me.

“Have you tried yoga, or meditating, or eating healthy?”
   Yes, yes I have. Funnily enough, none of those made my brain produce the right
chemicals.

“Have you tried not being so anxious?”
   Oh my god, you’re a GENIUS! I never thought of that!

You still don’t believe me?
   I figured you wouldn’t. I’m done wasting my time.

Don’t you know that actions speak louder than words?
   And that the loudest action is to shut up and just
                                                                              listen?
