    I'm more incapable of love than emotionally stunted.

    Do you feel emotionally stunted by that?

    Me! I've been numb for a long, long time... don't want to give too many details, but I was in a bad relationship from 16-21 (a great age to be tied up in that, eh?).. then something bad happened and I've been on meds that make it almost impossible for me to experience some basic human emotions on the level that I should.

    I know the first unpleasant/traumatic thing that happens to me when I'm off the meds is going to send me into a tailspin, but it's time to stop being a medicated robot and ride it out like everyone else.

    I'm not sure if I'd rather have someone be emotionally stunted, or too over emotional :rolleyes:

    Yeah, to round up patients for meal times and to lead groups. I myself questioned the logic of setting up a hierarchy in a mental health institution. In the end though, I learned to laugh again. Which is the secret to getting through all crazy situations with your head on straight.

    Food was good too.

    Laughter is a pretty good medicine :)

    If something like that works, then cool. It's a different approach to what I've seen, but I do love different approaches!

    Do you have fish on Fridays over there too? :D
