However, being a movie star, while giving you even less privacy than a not-huge-rock-star, does open some doors and allow you to do a lot of other stuff, so I could be both easily enough and do the music just for fun (which is all music should ever be).]]> http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/312299903466353537 http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/312299903466353537 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 14:48:19 -0400 dolphinkist The song "Everything For Free" by K's Choice is one I have a video playing in my head every time I hear it.
As for an actual movie, though...I'd have to go with some of your songs. Some are just so picturesque and others are pure stream-of-consciousness that may take you through a moment or several weeks. They're beautiful and I could see them made into movies easily. Of course I'm blanking on which ones at the moment...darn. Um...let's see: Films About Ghosts is at least an awesome scene, Perfect Blue Building screams there's more behind it and I want to know that story. I see an entire story with Round Here and Anna Begins.]]> http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/312298821646298723 http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/312298821646298723 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 14:44:01 -0400 dolphinkist http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/224736414460306218 http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/224736414460306218 Sun, 07 Aug 2011 23:42:18 -0400 dolphinkist http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/196171887112386819 http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/196171887112386819 Sat, 21 May 2011 03:57:04 -0400 dolphinkist http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/192865620700721139 http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/192865620700721139 Thu, 12 May 2011 00:59:07 -0400 dolphinkist http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/192865394006982143 http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/192865394006982143 Thu, 12 May 2011 00:58:13 -0400 dolphinkist http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/188557880335558410 http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/188557880335558410 Sat, 30 Apr 2011 03:41:42 -0400 dolphinkist So, yes, it may hinder your ability to write. Writing comes from deep emotion (well, good writing does) and if meds take away deep emotion, then no writing. The most important thing is don't let a therapist or a book or society tell you how you're supposed to feel. I was always too emotional or sensitive according to them (Borderlines feel things more intensely than most people, so if you stand me up, it makes me want to jump off a cliff and if I stand you up and it doesn't really bother you, I don't get why you're so friggin' cold). I was constantly told that I needed to work to be normal. But why did I have to do all the work? Why can't the world be a little more sensitive and we meet somewhere in the middle?

My secret "I get it!" moment: I knew my friends couldn't understand the way my mind worked and how I felt so intensely. The turn around, though, came when I realized I couldn't understand them, either! I couldn't compare us because we weren't the same that way.

So, until you have your own "aha" moment that helps you feel better and understand better, you have to decide if you want to try meds. Just don't feel pressured. Be happy you talked to someone who actually told you this might not be the best idea for you (most want to shove drugs down your gullet). But you have to weigh that with how you feel. There's nothing wrong with wanting to feel better! You have the right to feel great!! If it means trying a med or two, fine. If it means trying something else, look for it. Just don't stop searching. If you're want to try the meds, you could just do it for a few weeks: give them enough time to get past the side effect stage...in my experience, the side effects come before the mood relief...and into the full-potency stage, then coast there for a little while and see what happens. You can alway discontinue the meds if you don't like what they're doing (just don't go cold-turkey unless you have a support system in place and are ready for the crash).

Sorry for the length. I really can talk forever about my medication, therapist, and mental experiences.

I wish you the best and hope you feel the way you want to feel. Again, you deserve nothing less!]]> http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/187723011581841102 http://www.formspring.me/dolphinkist/q/187723011581841102 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 20:24:13 -0400 dolphinkist
