Ever just get in a rut and can't get out? Don't know what to do about it but there it is. That's currently me.

	What's going on, Barry? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	redstreak 2021-02-08 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	Weird dreams, and reminders of things I didn't want reminders of. And it's all just a lot. I keep trying not to talk about it but then end up saying nothing at all and just going work and sleep and that's all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You can talk to me if you need. Maybe it will help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redstreak 2021-02-09 12:33 am UTC (link)
	I would but it's like the words don't want to cooperate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I kind of want a burger, but beyond that the words are stuck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let's go get a burger then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah? I'll try not to be boring company. Just been sort of blah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds good to me. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	princessmuscles 2021-02-08 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	Yup. I know that feel. Sometimes it helps to something completely different and totally out of your comfort zone. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	redstreak 2021-02-08 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	Everyone else is so open about stuff and I can't make myself be that way. So I basically just go to work and sleep and that's literally it. I'm not sure what that would be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	princessmuscles 2021-02-19 11:03 am UTC (link)
	I guess it all depends on what people are being open about. Not everybody feels the same about sharing stuff. No hobbies? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redstreak 2021-03-01 06:00 am UTC (link)
	Dreams. I think it's a bit weird to come onto an internet full of strangers and just start spilling your dreams. Some, just haven't had any time for them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	needanewplan 2021-02-09 12:48 am UTC (link)
	It's been known to happen occasionally. [Barry] Would this be why you haven't come for your monthly check up? Which, I might add, you should. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	redstreak 2021-02-09 01:01 am UTC (link)
	It's irritating. [Jemma] Pretty much. Just been working and sleeping and repeat. Yeah, okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needanewplan 2021-02-09 01:07 am UTC (link)
	Yes, it is. [Barry] Which makes sense, but given the fact there’s a chance for your DNA to alter more than just your metabolism, you really shouldn’t have let yourself miss your appointments. Any changes I should be aware of before come in? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jemma/Barry redstreak 2021-02-09 02:52 am UTC (link)
	Uh..super speed sort of happened. So that's a thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jemma/Barry needanewplan 2021-02-09 02:54 am UTC (link)
	I'm sorry, what? When did this start? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jemma/Barry redstreak 2021-02-09 03:00 am UTC (link)
	Um..a while ago. Iris nearly got hit by a car and it just sort of happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jemma/Barry needanewplan 2021-02-09 03:02 am UTC (link)
	And you're only telling me this now? Barry. This is the sort of thing you tell your doctor about, the one who has been monitoring your health and DNA for three years now because of this very reason. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Jemma/Barry redstreak 2021-02-09 03:08 am UTC (link)
	Finding out you're a literal, actual freak has been kind of a lot to deal with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jemma/Barry needanewplan 2021-02-09 03:10 am UTC (link)
	Again. This is why we've been monitoring your health since your coma. And it doesn't make you a freak. Plenty of people have gained abilities because of their dreams, and none of them are freaks. It's simply a part of them. Please tell me you've at least talk to someone about this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Jemma/Barry redstreak 2021-02-09 03:14 am UTC (link)
	All the other people with abilities in mine have done nothing but try to destroy the city. No I haven't. Why would I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jemma/Barry needanewplan 2021-02-09 03:16 am UTC (link)
	And? Abilities don't make you a criminal. They're just as varied as people. It's what you do with them that matters. Because it's a major life change, that's why. Something you don't keep to yourself. And also, from experience? If you don't say something, it will still come out. And in the worst possible way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Jemma/Barry redstreak 2021-02-12 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	I'm afraid, okay? I got to tell anyone and the words don't happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Which is perfectly natural. But that doesn't change the fact this impacts your health and I'm your doctor, and this is something we've been keeping an eye out for the past three years.

Which I can understand. However that doesn't change the fact that the longer you say nothing, first the worse the feeling of discontent will be, but also the more likely it is to be found out another way and depending on how that happens? It will be far more unpleasant than the thought of telling someone on your own terms.

	Frequently. Maybe figuring out what has you in it will help you find the way out of it. Or just choosing to do one thing different from how you normally would. (Reply to this) (Thread)
