STREAM OF CONCIOUSNESS 6/25/00 I feel nothing My writing means nothing. I’ve become sad even when I’m alone. It used to be a disguise. I could slip it on and off. Now it’s permanent. I wonder if I’ll ever talk to my step brother after I move away. Probably not. If my dad died, would I ever see my step-mom again? If my dogs died, what would I do with their bodies? Why am I fascinated with death? My thumb hurts. I probably have carpal tunnel syndrome. My father’s a hypochondriac. It runs in the family. I don't like being at my dad's house. He makes me feel bad when I don't have smores with them as a family thing. I used to go camping, but now I don't like it. I'm afraid of snakes when I'm outside. I get overwhelmed in grocery stores. I don't like taking money from my parents when I need to be reimbursed. Sometimes I give away money because I feel like I have more than I need. Then I don't have enough, so I'll work a lot to get more money. Then I feel like I have too much again. I get worried when I have less than 40 dollars. I wish to be somewhere else right now. I don't know if this is a dream. I can't distinguish fiction from reality. Some memories are actually dreams. I would like to be dreaming all the time. In my dreams, I yell at people. I have hostility issues.
