Agony-Fueled Euphoria

Posted by Brianne "the intern" Turner on Fri, May 14, 2010 at 1:29 PM

I recently took a tumble that involved a staircase and a complete lack of grace which resulted in a "severe sprain" on both sides of my ankle, a space boot/cast thing, crutches and some much needed Percocet. YES!

I generally avoid prescription drugs, instead opting for whatever hippie bullshit DIY remedies I can find on WebMD (because it's cheaper, not because my body is my temple), but today I am chasing the dragon on coffee and Percocet and feeling exactly like this:

I LIKE MY STUFF!

I predict sobbing and awkward confessions within the hour.

It's spelled Percocet. Two C's. But Percocet'll do that to you. Man, Percocet is fun times indeed.

But I'm sorry to hear that you lost your fight with gravity. It happens to the best of us. Get better and well and see a physical therapist and all that junk.

I feel sorry for the baby forced to live in the bathroom.

@Graham Thank you! And I absolutely blame the drugs for my spelling errors. Just kidding--it's probably the booze.

Don't laugh.

There are a variety of internet-based tools which millions of persons with and without diagnosis of mental illness actively use to regulate, augment and improve their strong moods and ideas. Considering the unregulated price and general ineffectiveness of most HMO and government-bought mental health care, this is the cure of the clouds, a intrepid swarm of investigation and experimentation arising to lead and find happiness.

Why not? Screw the APAs. Watch almost any of the laughing baby videos on Youtube and you will smile and feel content, roughly the same as 20 minutes into 2 mg of Diazepam.

OH MY FUCKING GOD.

I just vomited IRL again, just FYI. This time from laughing too hard.

What does WebMD have to say about that? Nothing! That's what! Because it's a fucking FRAUD like its father!

When I was having kidney stones several years ago. I became acquainted with oxycodone. Good stuff, but VERY habit forming.

I find the entire tone of this post incredibly attractive. You don't happen to have very low self-esteem, do you? Daddy issues? Are you free this weekend?
