"how are you doing?"

[halothane]

i really dont know how the fuck to answer that question. do i give a "ok" so that he'll feel better about his day? if i do, i'd vomit. or does he want the truth "shitty" which will just turn the whole call sour and make him never call again. why even ask the question when there's no fair answer

Yeah, it's hard to know when to tell people how you're really feeling when you're feeling shitty. With someone that you consider close though, I think it's only fair to be honest and say that you're having one of those days again, but that it's nothing you feel a need to dwell on if that's the truth too. And sometimes it's better to just ask if you can talk to them later when you're feeling better, if you feel like things might spiral into an argument. I know, because I seem to frequently let things spiral into an argument, all because of some chemical imbalance in my brain. Yes, life can be pretty shitty sometimes. Hang in there with me, sis.
