(Ed. Note: There is a bit more cursing and rapid mood swings that may be a bit confusing. I'll try to keep it in context, though. Enjoy!) "How are you feeling today, Andrea?" "Like you don't know the answer to that. I feel like shit." "How are your hands?" "They hurt, and I wish I could have hit the...

"My meds are changing. I only got two pills today. Yesterday, I got three." "Yes, they are. It's time to explore the inner feelings surrounding your break." "Don't I get a say in this?" "No, I'm sorry. You're not here voluntarily, you have little say in what the doctors do." "Sounds peachy. What can...

"Something you said last week has been puzzling me." "What would that be?" "You said you were saving yourself. You mentioned sin, but you've told me you're agnostic. Why is that?"
