There’s a few things from decades ago that I’ve never told a single person. Would probably be therapeutic to at least talk about it with a therapist. In the mean time when I’m down it still adds fuel to the self loathing fire even after all this time.
Q. What’s the worst job you ever had? |

At 15 years old I had a summer job cleaning rooms at a Holiday Inn. Definitely not for me! It was the type of hotel with the rooms opening to the outside. That was a scorching hot summer! My skin has always been sensitive so I got a bad heat rash. That made me quit. Luckily my teen summer jobs were in an office after that
What is one of your favorite accomplishments? |

Yes. Walking, hiking, being surrounded by the quiet of forested areas and the sounds of running streams and hot sand, beach grass and waves.
Q. If you meditate what do you visualize or chant...what’s your method of focussing? |

I don't usually do it of my own acord, because, well, I just don't...
when laura does it with me she likes to try and get me to think about a castle with guards, floating on a desert island in a magical fairyland. I know. it's real crazy- I don't have the heart to tell her it's not working for me, so pretend it does now i'm on the verge of her recording a soundtrack to go with it which will be interesting when you meet someone for the first time what is the first thing you usually try to notice/ observe |

I try to see if the new person and I either have some mutual interests or at least interests/experiences/stories that interest each other. I'm a pretty good talker, but am also pretty good at coming up with questions for new people I meet. I try to keep the questions ones that a new person would be happy or willing to answer (not uncomfortable). Sometimes if the person answers with a few word response, or one that cuts the stream of conversation short, it's awkward and can lead to wanting to step away. I also appreciate when the other person asks me at least a couple of questions. If they don't, it makes me think they have zero interest in me. Perhaps they're shy, or perhaps they just have no interest. That's that!
Throughout your life, have you considered yourself to be speedier or slower at getting things done? Or somewhere just about in between? I'm referring more to your baseline tendencies, not during clear mood episodes. |

I’d say in the middle most of my life. Last few years I’ve been getting slower though (except for the odd burst of energy which I realize now is totally mood related).
Q. What’s worked best for improving dry mouth from Med use? (I’ve used xylitol tablets that stick on a tooth). |

clicking my hands is one, I do it all the time
I also tend to itch even if I've no reason too smell everything around me (I can tell a lot about how the situation is going to go just by smelling the air). I don't know why, but I can hold a hard object to my face and gently move it up and down (nothing sharp or dangerous, just stuff around the room) spray bottles of perfume- or other sprays just because I can (and I worry quite a bit about smell), not so much me, but the surroundings say one word over, and over and over again while I try to figure out what I want to say change the subject tap my hand on my knees fiddle with door handles tap my toes on the floor never knew I had so many.. I apparently doo- and I'm pretty sure their's others. how sensitive are you (in terms of being offended) |
