The initial impression is that I might have a severe undiagnosed form of depression, ditto on the anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD.

I hope the treatment works.

A fourth for Jumanji and Jack Black kicked arse.

Did you know that, if you sponser a dog, you can send it presents?

I am sorry to hear about your losses, but one of the reasons I love to participate in the redditgifts secret Santa for pets (other than to see what people get for my kitties) is so I can spoil other people's pets.

I dunno what it is, but buying things for critters is a lot of fun!

Thank you. We sent the rescue dog we sponsor a soft blanket and a toy... and got a letter back that pathetically made me all sniffly. I'm reduced to cuddling patient's dogs

This is our girl, who just died, objecting to a walk during an Australian heat wave

This is her, having had major surgery after a disc burst, relearning to walk

This is our other old man (died last year) being oblivious to being swooped by Aussie magpies

We are now dogless for the first time ever.... It is so wrong but we're out all the time so it wouldn't be fair. Did you know that, if you sponser a dog, you can send it presents?

Fear: What scares you a little? What do you feel when scared? How do you react?

I make the call, knowing that what we did made little difference. I arrive, all smartly turned out, with all of the gadgets of my trade, knowing none of them change what faces me behind that front door. The polite, tidy, terribly middle-class front door, painted pale blue. I hesitate before I knock, resisting the urge to flee from this. As the door opens, I put my best Gentle Smile on my face. Sympathetic, warm, just enough to make them feel confident in me, in my abilities, in my knowledge. As they let me into their home, I watch her movements, I watch the pain and the shuffling. I see the decline, the small marks time and disease have made on her. We have the conversations, all the time avoiding what should be said, that nothing will change this. Their confidence in me is misplaced. My ability to fix this is nil. Fear. The fear of being found out, of being declared a fraud, a failure. The fear of their response when they realise that all I can offer now is a shoulder to cry on, and a pair of sympathetic ears. I sit there, cradling the cup of tea, listening to their stories of their day, nodding and giving that Gentle Smile. The urge to fix things, to make it better, is crushed by the unsurmountable truth. Death wins.

Dunno if that fits for fear but there you go. My first try

@layla My pleasure. Will you make some for me? Apparently I don't have the ingredients now and I've given myself craving for it!

Cauliflower cheese. Crispy baked on top, with plenty of cheese and mustard in the sauce...not the half cooked, white sauce rubbish someone served yesterday.

@mietze I guess we sniff you?

Also late to nazi party.

I had a random patient decide to bring his folder of his clippings and nazi stuff from when he was one to a clinic appointment with me. The first time I met him and he just showed me this stuff. I was ..... And now I have to see the next person. BYE.

Thank you for all your support over the years for Darkspires We'd never have opened if not for you!

@Seraphim73 Dunno, discworld mud is still thriving
