'You look so benign scattered in that box".
"Actually, I box you in, daily reminding you how scattered you are"
"I didn't come here to fight, I'm just saying pills just don't seem to have any clout in
their little box"
"Oh, but when you need me: morning, noon, and night, it's a different story. Face it,
I'm omnipotent."
"Potent yes, but you overestimate yourself. You don't determine who I am. You hardly enable me to function some times"
"Don't just look honey. Feel me swimming in your neurons. Without me you'd be nothing...literally".
"True....I'd be dead. But give me some credit. I despise your control over me and my lack of it over you. And don't you dare forget the catharsis of my insight, writing, and the comfort of my cats."
"Good point. We're both powerful entities so give us equal credit for your well being".
"A tough thing to admit, as my reliance on you is repellant. However, I'll digest my pride
and call it a truce".
"Now open wide and swallow...."

Ed, thanks for your faith in me..
I wish I were a bird and come and see you!
love and thank you
This dialogue may sound humerous to some, but it is a very true representation of what some of go through.
Thanks for putting it into words.
This is fantastic and you have incredible talent.
Thank you. :-)
go to bed at night without those little orange bottles, or the nasal sprays, or the
injections, it is all so tiresome. Just know you are not alone and you've spoken
outloud what the rest of us have in our minds.
I have encountered so many people who tell me that anti-depressants are a crutch and I COULD make do without them. I honestly feel there is a chemical defiency in my body as I have gone off of them many times over the years but do not do well.
Hope you are completely recovered from your flu. I enjoy your writing and hope you can remain on an 'even keel', so as to provide us with more of your intelligent observations.
Very nicely done, talking to pills is something I need to do.
And thanks for commenting on my little addition. I had a Bi-Polar episode and am medicated for that as well as the depression side. You know, I think I will talk to those pills of mine...
