1. How many hours of the day, or night, do you have the t.v. on?
Living room tv is on from midday to the time i go to bed. The one in the bedroom is left on all the time, even as i sleep.

2. How many days a week do you change out of your p.j.s?
I'm a virtual recluse so 2-3 times maybe?

3. How many times do you shower weekly?
Every day if not every other day.

4. How many stuffed animals do you sleep with?
None.

5. How many times has your pdoc said something so profoundly stupid that it took great restraint not to knock him or her, upside the head?
Every time i see them.

6. How long have you gone without cleaning your room?
About a month, the rest of the flat was the same. I'm normally fastidiously clean but depression does strange stuff to a person.

7. What would you do if they announced that the world was ending in a week?
After the initial panic i think i'd feel calmer, more at ease - perhaps even smile wryly.

8. If your favorite pet and your favorite relative were drowning, who would
you save?
I don't have pets. And it depends on the relative.

9. How do you respond when they give you the cliches-it's just a matter of
will power-you're only trying to get attention-if you really wanted to kill
yourself, you would-did you take your medication?
I'd remind them that 1 in 4 people experience ill mental health at one point in their lives.

10. And if they ask you for the 1,000th time if you have a plan?
'Yes - and i'm not about to share it with a piss-ant like you.'
