HOW TO STAY OUT OF THE PSYCHWARD

1.- Be convinced that you really want to stay out. There are some really nice psychwards out there. They hand out many medicines, at all hours of the day.

2.-Don`t quit more than one thing a week. Don`t stop drinking and buying shoes the same week. It will lead to a massive overdose of raw cookie dough.

3.- Don`t watch "Fatal Attraction" again to reassure yourself that you`re really not THAT bad, you don`t OBSESS that much, you`ve never even boiled a bunny, for heaven`s sake!

4.- Don`t secretly agree that Glenn Close`s character had a point when she yelled " I WON'T BE IGNORED !"

5.- Don`t look at yourself in the mirror in the sunlight. Ever.

6.- Don`t read any French philosophers of the 18th century: you are not now, nor will you ever be, that perfect combination of brains, beauty, elegance, self control and wit they all write about. You will only find out that to them "Hell for women is old age". You will be inclined to agree. Don`t.

7.- Don`t start up the killer diet pills again because you have an impending cruise to the mediterranean in a month. Especially if you just ran out of sleeping pills.

8.- Don`t think that doing the same thing this time will produce different results. It never will. paralell lines do not cross, except in Reimann`s geometry, and hon, you don`t wanna get into that. Trust me.

9.- Volunteer, volunteer, volunteer.

10.-Stop taking yourself so seriously you overpreoccupied egocentric spoilt little child. Be curious, forever about everything else. Curiosity did kill the cat, but at least he died trying to learn something.
