I Fucked Back

Steven Douglas Baughman

Today has seriously fucked with me. I have bipolar disorder, and have two psychiatrists. I talk to one, and get prescriptions from the other.

My talky shrink quit a couple of months ago, just in time to miss my current meltdown. Yay. So I’ve been talking to my meds shrink instead. She’s not nearly as good, but she tries.

My meds shrink quit today.

So what does Mister No-Shrink do to celebrate this? Cancel my request for a date with a woman I’ve liked for years. I never told her before as I was married, but now that I’m “free” I went right ahead.

I don’t know if she wanted to hear it. She hasn’t answered me yet. But maybe she did. So why not fuck it up? Happiness is overrated.
