well, i used to think that. i think i did. ok, this is what i used to think, prior to having a baby duckie.
i used to think i'd go down something like this: i'd discontinue meds. i'd be horribly depressed for quite a while. i'd eventually come out of it, only to then cycle into a complete manic episode. from there, i'd become completely psychotic, believing the president of the usa to be involved in some sort of conspiracy involving robots and technology (shivvering right now). i'd be imprisoned forever, only to believe this to be the truth and waiting for the robots to get me.
now, since havign the duckie, i have realized, though i'd have a good run for quite some time before becoming psychotic (oh yes, i'd have some fun!!!), it wouldn't be quite fair to force him to live this life as well. that kid from the terminator seems like his life sucks pretty bad. wouldn't want my duckie going through that (especially stealing animal drugs and befriending robots with strange voices).
i'm going to stay on meds for the sake of my duckie. and for the sake of mr kk. and for my own sake as well. good grief, for the sake of the rest of the world too!
