You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Anxiety

7 November, 2007 /

Back to the list of words. I’ve been stuck on Anxiety. You would think I would have a 5000 word essay on anxiety, but honestly, I’m so tired of it. I am tired of saying it. I’m tired of hearing it. I’m tired of having it.

I called the head doctor about it. “up the dosage.” I don’t WANT to up the dosage, I want to OFF the dosage. You would think they would remember that.

I went to the other doctor. She said, “You’re 35. Things are changing.” Why did that sound like a death sentence? I’ve always embraced my age. Now all the sudden it’s the kiss of death for my emotional stability?
Gah.

I’ve got better things to write about. Like…like…*throwing hands up in the air* Maybe not. Maybe all the news I have for you today is that I got my coochie exam and my breasts fondled.

*Curtsy*

And that is all.
