23 Year Old Girl Patient: And I got really anxious, and I started panicing, and I couldn't get myself to drive to my appointment with my psychiatrist because I had too many thoughts of just wanting to drive my car off the road and die... So I called a cab... And the cab driver knew what building I was going to (the psych building) and he told me that he was taking Zoloft and he was suprised that his doctor let him drive cab because I've told him that sometimes I have the feeling that I just want to drive the cab off the road.
Alcoholic Gay Patient I decided after I got HIV that I no longer wanted to pursue any relationships so I decided to do an observership at the monistary to decide if I want to become a monk.
Patient with 21 easily visable piercings and slices all over his arms that required stitches from cutting himself: I'm not f^@%ing crazy, I'm not going to f^@%ing hurt myself. I don't f^@%ing know why I cut myself. I don't need to go back to treatment. I quit f^@%ing drinking, I only use meth sometimes... alcohol's my drug of choice, and I quit that. Meth and morphine, I still use those, but they're not my drug of choice so I can quit using those myself. I'm NOT going back to treatment, I don't need it.
51 year old woman: But I'm so OLD! I'm 51! And that means I'll be 60 soon, and then 70, and then 80! And I'm getting bags under my eyes, and my boobs are getting saggy, and I'm getting wrinkles, and my butt is sagging... I'm OLD!
