Is it depressing I can refer to The Neurotic's Notebook and relate to, like, almost all of it? *snickers* I need help. Yes, yes I am mocking myself. Ah well - quote time anyway

- "I'm afraid to win, and afraid to lose; I hate a draw and can't stop competing; otherwise I'm fine."
- "No good neurotic finds it difficult to be both opinionated and indecisive."
- "The neurotic has perfect vision in one eye, but he cannot remember which."
- "The real is very real to him, the unreal even more so."
- "The neurotic circles ceaselessly above a fogged-in airport."
- "The neurotic thinks himself both Hamlet and Claudius, in a world that belongs to Polonius."
- "Neurosis is no worse than a bad cold; you ache all over, it's made you a mess, but you won't die from it."
- "Neurotics always feel as though they were going way up or way down, which is odd in people going sideways."
- "Neurotics are sure no one understands them, and they wouldn't have it any other way."
- "A doctor recently described to me "benign positional vertigo:" it means you get dizzy in certain positions, but you can get over it without necessarily changing the position. Change "vertigo" to "anxiety" and you've summed up the neurotic's plight."
- "Neurotics think of the past with resentment, and to the future with dread; the present just doesn't exist."
- "Neurotics expect you to remember all things that they tell you, and many that they don't."
-------------------------------Other----------------------------
- "A constant din of alarms sound in the neurotic's head - only silence indicates something gone wrong."
- "A neurotic is a man who builds a castle in the air. A psychotic is the man who lives in it. A psychiatrist is the man who collects the rent."
- "If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as hell. I'll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days."
- "The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone's neurosis, and we'd have a mighty dull literature if all the writers that came along were a bunch of happy chuckleheads."
- "Everything great in the world is done by neurotics; they alone have founded our religions and created our masterpieces."
