I have a list every single time. As I go through my week, I write down things that were distressing to me.

I don't write a list to prove I'm sick.
I write a list so that I don't spend an hour shooting the breeze, because when we just chat for an hour, I hate myself afterwards.
I get one hour for someone to really listen and understand, and by golly I'm going to use it. I'm determined.

That's why I write a list.
