Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved."I WAKE up and perform the usual rituals-brushing my teeth, getting dressed for work, going into the childrens bedroom to wake them up, making break- fast for everyone, smiling, and saying how good life is. In every minute and gesture I feel a weight I cant identify, like an ani- mal who cant quite understand how it got caught in the trap. My food has no taste. My smile, on the other hand, grows even wider so that no one will suspect, and I swallow my desire to cry. The light outside seems gray. Yesterdays conversation did no good at all; Im starting to think that Im headed out of the indignant phase and straight into apathy.And does no one notice?Of course not. After all, Im the last person in the world to admit that I need help.This is my problem; the volcano has exploded and theres no way to put the lava back inside, plant some trees, mow the grass, and let the sheep out to graze.I dont deserve this. Ive always tried to meet everyones expectations. But now its happened and I cant do anything about it except take medication. Perhaps today Ill come up with an excuse to write an article about psychiatry and social security (the newspaper loves that kind of thing) and find a good psychiatrist to ask for help. I know thats not ethical, but then not everything is.I dont have an obsession to occupy my mind-for exam- ple, dieting or being OCD and finding fault with the clean- ing lady who arrives.
