1 " Dysphoria is that bitch who visits the family and wreaks havoc. Sometimes she plucks away, needling and poking, whispering doubts and lies and pulling at the threads of resolve. Sometimes she is in full-on assault mode, attacking the very core of belief, ego and confidence. Sometimes she lingers. Sometimes she disappears as rapidly as she appears, but not before she has darkened things, unsettled all and left a tumultuous mess. "

2 " Ice-cream is the antidote to about any ailment "
3 " Hate is a lazy-ass slob, wallowing in self-righteousness and fed by self-doubt and fear. Firing slings and arrows at difference, reason and knowledge, swelling with intolerance, spite, venom, and rage. "
4 " I feel like I'm in the wrong place. It's like I have been plucked from my nice, happy life and left to hover somewhere foreign, uncomfortable, and indeterminate. My feet are dangling, unable to gain traction. The atmosphere is prickly, foggy, bitter, and stifling. I can't see. I'm disoriented and don't know which way to turn. I'm not supposed to be here. There's been some mistake. This is somebody else's story, somebody else's destiny. If this is my parallel universe, I don't like it one bit. I take solace in going to work and trying to escape the disorderly, turbulent chaos that fills my head. "
