Cool. I hope it works from your phone.

I would think that without the original Harry Potter there can't be another movie made. Time will tell.

Try not to worry about talking about your brain all the time right now. One thing that works well for me and my ex (still my best friend) is to give him permission to limit the time I spend at one time talking about what was going on in my head.

It proved useful for both of us. Talking for too long at one time would often wind me up. When he would observe symptoms (talking faster and faster, loosing my train of thought, repeating things etc) he would tell me to start wrapping it up. Even when I felt like I wanted to say more I had given him permission to monitor its impact on me so I would take a deep breath and accept his assessment. If I still seemed stressed out and off balance he would give me a massage or join me for a walk.

This agreement freed me from worrying I was burdening him too much with my problems. It was up to him to tell me when it was enough talk and time to give my brain a rest.
