I’m at a course in Stockholm this ti
e, and it’s the same it is every time I’m here at this time of year – I’M DEAD TIRED.
Can’t wait to get back to the hotel and take a nap.

A few things.
Thing the first – I’m at a lecture course in Malmö and it turns put that playing Farm Frenzy during booooring lectures drains my ihone something awful. Möh.
Thing the second – I myself don’t have any experience with addiction. I have little effect of alcohol, which is a risk factor, but [...]
So, last year I was doing absolutely fine. This year, not so much. I’ve had seasonal depressions every year since I’ve moved to Sweden – except last year, so I had hoped I had finally got used to The Darkness at the Northpole. It seems that the move has totally thrown me off.
I do love [...]
Almost rhetorical question – say you had a stroke, or a scary braintumor aka multiglio-whatsit, would you like to be taken in ata unit that’s taken care of by an almost- psychiatrist and a not-yet-licensed babydoctor?
Yeah, that’s what I thought. Apparently, the hospital disagrees.
Anyway, people seem to think I’m strange with my iPhone. Hungarian [...]
I stayed home from work yesterday. I woke in the morning and had slept only a couple of hours, and I just couldn’t go. Damn early bus. Though I think that’s only a part of it.
I can stand people suffering, especially when they come to me for help. That’s what I do, and I have [...]
Like, for real. How can it be so hot? I’m sweating by just sitting here and thinking. At nine in the morning.
For serious? In Sweden aka the north pole?
Please for someone to be sending a breeze or maybe shooting me in the head.
I don’t normally do these, but I found the picture pretty, plus a phoenix is always a bonus.
What’s your inner spirit?
Phoenix
You are free, loyal, and caring. You wish to help all those in need and heal all wounds of those you care about, no matter what the cost.
How do you compare?
Take this test! [...]
I’m sitting on the train to Stockholm (well – yesterday. When I’m writing this. Which will be published tomorrow. Sometimes I think I might rip a hole into the space-time-continuum or something.)
Sadly because my tickets were booked from work, I’m travelling second class. Normally I take first, because I tend to book very early, and [...]
So there’s something I always remember about dealing with people.
When I was an intern in my last year of med school, I did my voluntary assignment, naturally, in psychiatry. I was placed on an open unit dealing with patients with affective disorders.
There was a resident there, a woman called A – maybe in her mid-thirties [...]
My grandmother is going down the same path. She has never been the same after my grandfather passed away. She’s depressed and extremely anxious, and I’m more than convinced that if her faith didn’t forbid it so adamantly, she would have taken her life long ago.
She’s grown to be forgetful, and while that is to [...]
