Definitely make me thin, reduce my appetite, and make my hair thicker...
Realistically? (And that is a really great discussion question, and I think it does belong here.) What three things realistically?
I'd like it to reduce my fear response -- not my fear, which would be unrealistic, but the response to it, the adrenaline surge that paralyses me; reduce that enough for me to work on getting through the fear, without quite so much pain involved.
Increased concentration would be good, along with increased energy. Or, not energy exactly, because I obviously have that -- it fuels the fear response. But allowing me to ACCESS that energy, to channel it into something useful.
(No, make me thin is NOT realistic...)
I guess improving my depression is the third. I'd like it to make my depression go away, but I think right now that's unrealistic. Right now, we've got so much renovation going on in therapy that I doubt anything short of heroin would make my depression go away, and I'm not sure heroin actually does that...
This is a great discussion topic, Poet.
And welcome home!
