Today we have part 2 with my interview with the Vampire. This is a very draining interview for me and I hope to finish it very soon.
Interview with a Vampire Part 2
Ok yesterday you were explaining how you basically just take over someone's life.
Yep. That's me. I just love to suck the life out of people.
Will you share more with us today?
Sure. What do you want to know?
I don't even know where to begin. Why don't you just tell us more about the effects you have on people?
No problem.
How about house work? Those of my lovely victims that can't work are home all day so you would think they would have a spotless house right?
Sure I guess. What else is there to do if you aren't working.
Well you are so very wrong. Most of my victims -- not all of them now -- houses are chaotic. I am not saying they are living in filth, they clean enough so they don't have bugs or anything. But the floors aren't swept or mopped. The bathtub could use a bath! LOL
My people rarely put things away. Talk about clutter! I don't see how these people live. Things are just plopped down on any availble surface or empty floor space.
I don't understand. Why don't they put things away? Why not spend time cleaning? There isn't anything else for them to do.
Because I won't let them. I make it so either they don't care, or they care but just can't make themselves do anything about it. It gets to be a viscous cycle. They know they need to pick up that book (or whatever) and put it away. But I won't let them. Then before they know it their entire house is just out of control. And this is where the fun really begins.
Fun?
Yeah, once I get them to let their house go they will eventually look around and see what a mess they are living in and get even more depressed about it. And someone will tell them to get up off their hiney and start cleaning and putting things away. Only problem is I have them so uptight about it they can't see where or how to begin. To them it is a lost cause. More depression. I simply love it. They see no hope in their houseever being the way it once was.
That is so mean.
Hey, it's my job. Someone has to make these people miserable.
See my victims really do care about their homes and lives. But it is no match for me. Thanks to me they will finally get to the point that they don't care, or care just enough for it to make them more depressed.
As for not having anything to do. Well there are tons of things they could do. Say reading. But I won't let them concentrate for any length of time and they have to read the same page like 10 times and still don't know what they have read.
Same goes for watching TV. My lovelys just can't seem to follow what is happening on the show they are watching. I had one poor soul say once that it was too bad there wasn't a channel of just 30 second commercials for her to watch. That was about the length of time she could actually follow. Cool huh?
Well I don't see anything cool about it.
Guess you wouldn't. Too bad. I could make your life really miserable.
I also love to suck any fun out doing hobbies. This is so great. Take something a person finds enjoyment in and then ZAP I take all the enjoyment out of it. The hobby becomes more of a chore, or they just don't have the engery to get off their bigold hiney and do it anymore! LOL
I really wish you didn't take such delight in people's pain.
Funny you said that. I can cause physical pain too.
You can?
Sure I can make all kinds of problems for them physically. First I love to mess with their sleep. I doubt you will find anyone with depression/bipolar or any other mental illness that don't have problems sleeping. The doctors give them all kinds of sleeping pills but they don't work, or at least not for long.
I can give them headaches, stomach aches, general aches and pains. With the anixeity I give people they may start having uclers or acid reflux.
I think mostly I just make them feel unwell. Not something they can point to and say this hurts. Understand?
Not really. How can a mental illness cause physical pain?
Ok. Mental illness IS a physical thing. Something in your brain isn't working the way it should. This is a known fact.
What doctors and others are finding out is that the brain is a very mysterious thing. They know how they think it is supposed to fuction but they still don't have the how and why of it all. I hope they never figure it out.
So you take this part of your brain that can make you depressed. So depressed that you want to die. Why is it so hard to believe that it can't make your body feel sick?
I think I am getting a headache trying to understand all of this. Can we talk more about this later? I know I could use a break and my readers probably can to.
Sure thing.
Thanks. We will finish up our talk soon.

Yes, excellent description for others to understand! Hope things get better!
I put it in As I Am. Wonderful and very powerful! God bless.
I wish AOL would take this and put it on their sign on screen.

Powerful and so helpful to others who suffer from depression. I know it was draining to write, which makes me appreciate it all the more.
Big hugs

Hi Kathy.
I've been there.
Thanks for writing.
Donna
wow very powerful. Thanks for sharing.
I remain in awe of your ability to capture depression and its effects. Yesterday i had a full, active day in the fresh air with a proper meal. Today? Could not leave my bed. OK, where did the endorphins go? Body, mind, working on them, doing ok, but the soul...that's hard. That's where i am at i guess.
so well explained and easy to follow too!
