A Question and some links...
Question: I'm thinking about seeing somebody about my stress-sickness thing (mostly because while talking to minna she blandedly said, i just thought you had mild agoraphobia and I was all like ahh because it kind of does explain a lot - like the way I love seeing people and I miss you guys but I really have to do it 'on my terms', like at my house or at a predetermined time where I can psych myself up for it and I really hate that I'm like this and I haven't been diagnosed but we've got people coming round today for minna's b-day (which was yesterday) and I'm already making coping strategies in my head because I *want* to do it but sometimes I can't. And I want to be Cult. (which of course might be part of the problem))
So do any of you have reccomendations for psychiatrists? Particularly who bulk bill? Do I have to get a referral from a doctor (because I can do that).
It would be really nice to find a way to get through all this stuff and I've been kind of joking in my head for a while about it: oh, I have panic attacks, claustrophobia, can't be in crowds etc, don't leave my house because I can't afford to, but it's actually more insidious than that, I have to brace myself to go to work, I do it anyway, but it's always stressful. And it's stopping me from being able to live my life - I mean while I was studying I could work around it but there are bits of the Scarlet Penny stuff, the working so that we can afford things, being in a band and I want to volunteer at 4ZZZ (once I've got my subs sorted) and maybe do a radio show and I want to go to bands and come to people's parties when they invite me. So I'm a little freaked out that this is real. And yes graduation sort of brought this all up because now I have to sort it out.
Ok Enough about me.
Firstly: if you haven't gone and read Out.com's interview with Spencer Smith Read to Reinvent Love then go do it. Everyone's talking about the comment about Brendon's undecided status but my favourite bit is where Spencer says:
"And I feel that it is bullshit that it got re-voted against in California to not be able to get married. Bullshit!"
and:
"This was the first election you were able to vote in, right?
It was. I was 17 the last time, so I just missed it. This time it was the first for me and [singer] Brendon [Urie].
It was exciting to see Nevada go Democrat.
I know, I couldn’t believe it. Here and some of the other Southwest states -- obviously not Arizona, but New Mexico and Colorado. We were in Atlanta playing a show and by the time we came off stage, they’d already figured out that there was no chance of it turning around. It was a great night."
Panic just haven't been political like the rest of Decaydance but I'm all like they really can't have missed all the conversations and stuff going on and by osmosis they must have talked about it and I love that they voted (because I still find it weird that it's not compulsory in the USA - it's part of my fascination with their electoral process, plust the getting to watch Stephen Colbert cry)
Secondly, The Prop 8 Musical. (It's got Lake Bell, who I think is way hot, and Margaret Cho, who is minna's favourite and cool guest appearances *not spoiling*)
