one of the technicians for the CT scan asked if i handle stress well.
"i guess so."
pause.
"well, i dunno. life is life. some days fine, other days not."
"do you typically have more fine days or not so fine days?"
"i dunno." shrug.
"you seem a bit removed."
"are you a therapist?" [joke]
"no, just observant. maybe you should try to keep a mental note of all that you feel this week...whether or not you have a lot of ups and downs, and how your body is reacting when you feel or think more negative. coz someone your age shouldn't be down here."
"uh...okay."
so, so far this week i've felt:
listless
bored
uninspired
amused
useless
guilty
shocked
sad
scared
buzzed
calm
happy
frantic
absent
wistful
helpful
content
desperate
hurt
confused
awkward
angry
tired
encouraged
disappointed
lonely
unsure
optimistic
excited
peaceful
grouchy
slow
embarrassed
witless
mellow
surprised
grieved
helpless
disturbed
boy, that's a lot of emotions in one week. i wonder what's average for most people.
