emotional blurrs and states

ok, so let me start with a disclaimer, I don't really believe in emotional states. I think the concept of separate emotional stages or states is a product of the process of description [de/script/ion], labels must describe a thing, things must be discrete, thus descriptions necessarily 'shatter' what can be continuous, complex, synergistic, capricious processes into chains of abstract fixed units.


awww. interupted thought.
-- note -- the problem of being a compulsive ruminant is that when the anxiety level drops you often can't continue the thought...

elevators and stairs

do more people die falling down stairs than using elevators. I mean proportionally, which is statistically safer?

I find elevators, or lifts as they used to be called, pretty scarey sometimes, I mean it takes a lot of effort to control my OCD spikes in a lift.

Maybe it's just that dying in a lift accident is more vivid, and the 'Obsessive' part of OCD likes that, gets it juiced up.

(p.s. for those who don't know Obsession in OCD is not the repetitive actions, they're compulsions, Obsessions are disturbing intrusive thoughts that raise the anxiety level so high the sufferer performs Compulsions in the belief that the compulsions help. Obsessions of these kind come from the greek meaning similar to 'O-Besiege-Ans' to be besieged by disturbing thoughts.)
