Guys, let’s take it easy for a moment. Duamerthrax . . . may I call you James? It’s all right to feel insulted; I would, too. There are some things that should be left private. Shadowstalker, there was no call to walk into his mind, especially since he has been lucid. But what’s done is done, so I won’t dwell n it further.
Susan, we’re trying to help as best we can. May I ask you to be patient? And . . . sorry about not telling you about the Nightmare, Ron. It just never seemed to be appropriate. I hope you’re all right, Koyla.

I mentioned it to her a while ago actually, so she might have forgotten in all the other chaos - there's posts about him all over the board if she wants to know more.

At the time James was not that lucid. He was in fact not even in control of himself at that time.
James I am sorry I am not trying to insult you, and as I said before I didn't go looking around in your mind. For one thing it was very obvious where the problem area was.
Basicly someone had tried to almost overwrite your brain. This is not something minor or simple. Oh a little reminder for you James, that when that "Bug?", or what ever the hell it was attacked. You still tried to protect your sister. So you understand that means you resisted there for at least a moment.

i'm sure the next time this happens to you you'll probably act a lot more reasonable than i did, shadow.
do you really think it's that easy for me, either? hell, i barely even remember how i got to chicago in the first place, much less what came before that! and as far as "lucid" goes, i don't know, but i was just pissed off and didn't want to talk to anyone.
so my question now is when was i really in control anyway? how do you know if i'm even doing things myself or just following some psycho plans someone else created? hell, i'm not even sure what i should be feeling right now.

James . . . that's pretty much what it's like. Even after your pronounced "cured" it will still feel like that some times.
The key for now is to take time to think about your actions before doing stuff - make sure it's somehting you would genuinely want to do.

Your welcome James.
I guess that's where the principle of group therapy comes from, huh?

Speaking of which, got through the psych eval today. GOOD NEWS, I'm cukoo for Cocoa Puffs!
OK, it's not that bad, but the whole event was just screwy to begin with. First of all, the guy they got to talk to me was probably a little delusional anyway, and he kept treating me like I was still a kid. Hell, I've GOT to be in my twenties by now, right? I think.
Anyway, we talked about me running away, being homeless, my family, my favorite music, random things. On the authority of my lawyers (and you guys), I stayed away from talking about Will, or anything really out there, in case they put out any red flags to him. I still didn't fully trust him, but I think he kind of realized that.
He started asking about what happened to me a year ago, and I couldn't think of a story to tell him about it, so I figured honesty would help me out. It's insane, but it's the only truth I have, and I might as well use it. But the really freaky part is, HE BELIEVED ME! The whole "nightmare" thing, the messed up creatures, being caged, he actually believed me about it! And he was really nice, too, he didn't start filling out the Belleview papers, we just kept talking about it. It felt good to finally let someone know about the whole ordeal who's certifiably sane.
Anyway, I was worried about the whole thing, and now, I'm just feeling that kind of relief you get when something feels like it's finally over. Goodnight.

I don't know what Cocoa Puffs are but if you are feeling some relief, that is a good thing.

Just be careful, Sue... It's not exactly an uncommon practice for a psychologist to pretend he's believing what the patient is saying to establish bonds of trust. They do this in the hopes that if you trust them, you'll tell them the truth. What will happen depends on a lot of things, including the distinct possibility that I'm wrong...which I hope I am.
Just...be wary.

If a psychologist starts compounding the problem by pretending to believe rather than confronting the problem, walk out of the quack's office immediately and find a real psychologist. Dropping a dookie on his rug is optional.

Angel, what part of the world are you in? I may be able to refer you to a professional that has had their own experiences that they just keep quiet about in order to keep their liscenses.

i gotta agree with them, su, it's a little too convenient. i thought shadow told you to be careful about who you say things like that to. if he were here, he'd probably be pacing again.

I never said it was wrong to tell him the truth... Just that she should be wary of how easily he accepted...

I'd just like to say one thing, you don't see a psychologist for psych help. You see a psychiatrist.
