Your pdoc really says that to patients? What a dickhead! (male or female). Does he/she not realize that most people even when they get married, at least one of the partners has had sex before, even in a committed relationship? How does that make cervical cancer somehow related to pleasure instead of reproduction? People can get the disease from having sex for the first time with their spouse for the purpose of having a child. What a ****ing idiot! I read somewhere that about 80-90% of the population has had the disease that causes cervical cancer at some point in their adult life. Chances are, no matter how Puritanical you are and hate sex, but love babies, you're going to get it anyway. ***hole!

But otherwise, I have to say, hanging on by my nails today at work too. My job depends on speed and accuracy as well, and on computers no less. Grinding my teeth down trying to get it all done.

Thanks for the mention. Argh...depression and anxiety and PTSD come even when you know what you're thankful for. It's weird like that. People tell you, "But you have so much to be grateful for..." Duh! That doesn't change my mental disorder or the chemicals and the lack thereof that are making me so miserable I want to be asleep...sometimes permanently.

Sorry for my rant. I'm still in a volatile mood today. The bright side: I didn't burst into tears or go into a rage today.

It's gonna be okay. (no speculation on when, though)
