the psychology of helplessness

[eor]

After having my initial impersonal useless gesture frustrated, tonight I made a much more personal and probably equally useless gesture. Why do I feel better? Why am I suddenly relieved of the feeling of helplessness and guilt that has hung around me like a fog for two days? I haven't actually done anything useful.

Bah, emotions really aren't fucking worth it. I wonder when they'll come up with an operation to remove them. Oh, wait... *goes out to get a script for SSRI's*
