[Rolo has not been having a good time since everyone's memories came back. He's mostly dealt with this by staying home curled up in bed and ignoring the network completely, but after a few days he's finally desperate enough to pull the network device thing back out.]

Is there anything like a therapist in this city?

[He's not even thinking about shit like going anon right now. That would probably be a bad sign, if his standard preference for anonymity didn't necessarily preclude people knowing about said preference.]

So you're not the absolute most insane person here. Who cares? You still aren't someone I'd want to talk to about this.

[opheliac]

so u dont want any advice on how to keep urself grounded? are u suuuuuuuure?

[heartstopping]

Who would get that kind of advice from someone so unstable?

[opheliac]

people who are unstable arent rocky all day long, u know.

[heartstopping]

But if I want advice on mental stability, I think I'm better off asking someone who doesn't only manage it for part of the day.

[opheliac]

sheesh are u that big of a chicken to hear me out? are u afraid my words will kill u if u read what i have to say?

im flattered.

[heartstopping]

I can't stop you either way. I'm just telling you I'm not going to take your advice.

[opheliac]

ok!! so advice #1

( — maybe she just likes to listen/read herself talk...)

if u want to do the safest way to keep ur brain from going bye-bye is to wear a rubber band around ur wrist. then thump urself. its not 100% fool-proof, but its enough to keep u IN THE MOMENT. especially ure in the middle of something super important and u need to stay focus!!!!

advice #2

feet. be barefooted! feeeeel the ground, the grass, the rocks, the mud, the sharp glass after u break a window. that helps too. i still wear my boots and stuff, but ive been more barefooted than shoes lately. can u believe the high-heels that we women wear???? how in the heck can any girl walk in those?!

but if worse comes to worst? u can never go wrong with gunning something or someone down. it releases the tension.
