Crazy Listicle, 3 Items

Things I do to combat the crazy* when the crazy comes on**:

1. Chain-smoke cigarettes.

2. Lie on the floor with Lucy.

3. Drive around chain-smoking.

*For those of you unfamilar with clinical depression the crazy is (in my case anyway) a gut-kicking sense of loneliness, unbearable floating grief and a painful, monster anxiety that something really really really important has been left undone.

**Typically provoked by overly cloudy days, overly sunny days, winter, autumn, days of mediocre weather, PMS, too much crappy news before my first coffee, not enough coffee, too much coffee, not smoking, smoking too much, skipped exercise and/or being alone for more than 90 minutes. Also weed.
