ULP is the noise you make when you {gulp} It was very difficult to say any of this, and it's left me sort of emotionally gulping for air to have done it. And, while I am proud of myself for saying it, it's scary as [a warm climate], largely because -- while I recognize the problem *as* a problem -- I still don't want to be treated for it, if it means that I gain weight -- which, by definition, it does. Talk about conflict, huh?
And Dr CattleProd because it was his question about whether it was something he could discuss it with SparklingNew (who needs a new name, since she's not all that new anymore) that prompted me to bring it up -- finally. Sort of like using a cattleprod.
This is actually his second CattleProd moment, by the way. The first time around, his addition of Anxiety Disorder did something pretty similar. While I knew that anxiety was a big part of my depression, I'd always insisted to myself that it was only a part of the depression, not a problem in its own right. It felt as if I was meandering around the path to that door, allowing myself to be distracted by shiny pebbles on the ground, avoiding facing up to the door I knew was waiting for me at the end of my journey, and he just picked me up by the scruff of my neck and put me down in front of that door. Much sooner than I'd ever planned to arrive there, but a necessary arrival point, nonetheless.
So, does Dr CattleProd work for everyone? Or shall we look for something else?
