... of making a decision on the best method of treatment without a little guidance. I talked about it last visit with the psychologist. She made me answer one of those questionnaires that assesses your level of depression and I’m definitely at a level when medical help should be considered, but I explained to her that I really don’t think that doctor is going to be any help. She works out of ...

Time's been getting away from me lately, and there never seem to be enough hours in the day to get everything done that I need to do, let alone want to do.

I'm talking about those that make you bawl for several consecutive hours. Character death, angst, mental illness, everything is ok. And to lighten up the mood, I'd love a fic with some good UST. ...
