FYIL: Find Your Inner Larry (*free* excerpt!)
Chapter 2
Do you suffer from depression?
I understand your pain. I do. Before my facelift, when I was unemployed, I was depressed a lot.
Doing anything is a lot of work when I'm depressed. Once, before my divorce, I lay down at 8 o'clock at night and said I was going to bed. I lay down on my bed with the lights off so my wife couldn’t see me. After I hide from the world, then I cry, then I feel better for a little while.
I used to think maybe I need to learn how to relax—I have one of the Triple A battery personalities. The only time I could be still was when I was convinced life is pointless. Or if I was really sick. Like after I was shot.
The pain meds are great for a while. Until the nausea. And the vomiting.
But that’s not what the Universe wants. We may like depression, but the Universe doesn’t.
And that’s why the Universe makes us puke up those pain pills.
Daily Affirmation: Allergies to codeine can prove a blessing in the long run. Just offer them up as a prayer to the Porcelain God in the short term.
