June 26, 2008 Progress Notes:
Above
Words today: 1500.
Words total: 58,000 MS Word, 70,000 SMF.
Reason for stopping: Round number, and my fingers hurt. And I need to think.
Munchies: Buddha's Delight and vegan chocolate cake, which was good going down but sits like a rock.
Darling du Jour: A light goes off in the house 'cross from us. A dinner-light – people long risen from the table and the dishes cleared, the washing-up all done, a family made of Mama and Papa and little kids putting themselves away to beds made of soft mattress and dreams that don't push in on morning, dreams that stay where they're put between the pillows, in the dark.
New shadows fall across us, a stripe of light taken away, put down to bed as well. I wonder if it touches Doctor Marybeth, looking out her window, walking on the shadows that come of touching too deep the world below the tunnels, the old sewers, and the new.
Words Matthew Won't Admit to Knowing: conviction, amend, belabor
Mean Things: Shame. Schizophrenia. Shame. Awful Troofs. Shame.
Research Roundup: Inpatient services at the Queen Street CAMH, criteria for getting committed in Ontario, schizophrenia. Apparently electroshock therapy is still a treatment regularly used for schizophrenia. This...I'm not done squicking from knowing that yet and I read it an hour and a half ago.
Books in progress: John Crowley, The Solitudes.
The glamour: The job-application tango, garden, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
monkeyman's birthday dinner.
I know there are some Faithful Readers here who have a better understanding of the ins and outs of mental diagnoses than I do: is it at all plausible for symptoms of schizophrenia to pattern like abuse trauma to the untrained eye? I need to do a thing because of a thing that I set up way back long ago in chapter one, and I'm not sure if it stands up to real life.
Thank you in advance if you can give me some definite facts. If not, I will make a call to CAMH and scare some mental health professionals with my seemingly motiveless prying.
