You know no shame. Much as you know no angst, disgust, embarrassment, fear, gratitude, guilt, hope, remorse or worry. While this may look like a laundry list to outsiders, you and your doctors tried several treatments to correct the chemical imbalance in your brain. Most of them just left you feeling surprised all the time.


That period of your life wasn't pretty. You spoke in all caps, used lots of exclamation marks, and hit people in the face a lot. There's a reason you aren't on that pill anymore. Several of them, really. Reasons that is, not pills. Though there were a lot of pills at the time. Not anymore though.

Being the cool customer you are, you don't need any of those sissy emotions anyway. You do feel slightly uncivilized; now that you're a baby-licker, it can only go downhill from here. But you already had nowhere to go up, so you're not worried. The uphill battle is already won; once you finish your business here, it's all downhill.

Not that you could be if you wanted to be.

You are however feeling frustrated about these jumbled metaphors and are starting to think you should really get on with whatever it was you came here to do.
