interesting postulate I was in a funk
for sure
Such a funk that you couldnt feel

Sexual pleasure would go to the
back burner for awhile
Yes
Emotionally stigmatised Momentarily cauterised Take a break from thinking with your cock Sorry Im blunt force man
Thats alright
However you still derived
pleasurehappiness from your childrenan the variety of pleasures your senses
inform
Yes
Have you dismissed your sisters
anhedonia
I have
Has she
Does she still think Im suffering
it
Yes
She does She says she able to be objective
Did she say where she gathered
that notion Its not usual fare
I thinkif Im correct she read
about it in articles from Psychology Today
M-D-D huh
Excuse meWhat
M-D-D major depressive disorder Psychology Today A great place to shop for new
pharmaceuticals Your brain in a
pill Who reads Psychology Today
My sister she has a subscription
Great I call my subscriptions prescriptions
Literary political magazines Bolstered by lots an lots of booksyour sister
reads Psychology Today doesnt she also take psychotropicsI seem to
remember you saying something along those linesif Im not mistaken something about
her psychologistspsychiatrists something
Yes For a long time now
The magazines a great place to find
interesting words Lotsa Latin Greek
roots
Yeah I suppose so
An I suppose nothing a little
mindfulness wouldnt also help Im
particularly mindful that while I seek my happiness Im not supposed to be happy
all the time Gotta feel blue
sometimes If you cant feel blue you
certainly cant feel happiness Flipside
of the same coin Love hate Same coin
You cant have one without the other
I take issue with happy pills
You dont think talking to a
psychologist or psychiatrist would help
Drugs might help
