Britney

Thanks to Susan S. for sending the below. I've been depressed, and thus haven't posted. I decreased my Effexor and thought it would be okay. I did that because the akathisia was bothering me. Well, I'm going to increase it again. I feel like crap. So until then, thanks, Susan, for being such a peach.

The article is so weird. I can't believe the therapists at the annual winter conference of the American Psychoanalytic Association convened to discuss how out of control the media is about Britney's diagnosis. The fact that the Association's conference topic landed in a media report by the Associated Press is no accident, I assure you. There's a PR person at the Association who wanted to get press, and knew the Britney topic would do it. It's so meta meta!

Therapists Say Stop 'Diagnosing' Britney

I always wondering what the proper name was for the restless movement I've noticed.
