Apologies for the fairly swear-laden rant that follows.
FUCK this entire hall, FUCK the bitch next door who whines about not being able to do her own thing when her fucking subwoofer causes vibrations because of where it is in relation to my head, you live in a community you stupid little twit, you do have to have consideration for others, and yes, it DOES make you a fucking bitch, you don't get a free pass for being a goddamn fifth year senior, fuck her for whining about it down the hall where I can hear it, and fuck her for trying to make it seem like I'm the one who's in the wrong.
In addition, goddamn having to try and look for a second summer job in this fucking economy, screw the pressure my parents are putting on me to get one, screw not being able to say here over the summer and get a job up here and now being stuck at goddamned home the whole summer and probably going insane because of it, fuck the insane amount of work I have to do for this ethnography, fuck the increased and idiotic load of Japanese, fuck having a midterm on Friday, cause it just adds more work that I don't need, and screw tech crew for having me work over, what, twenty hours now in the last two weeks because of even more idiotic people in the administration who can't make up their fucking minds.
...
It's been a really bad night. Sorry.
In addition, have had to coach a friend who tends to get hallucinations/delusions back into reality twice now in the last week. Besides talking and describing what's going on around them, and keeping them away from dark places and seated, any advice for how to keep them grounded while these are happening?
