I don’t want to make light of mental health issues, but YF’s rantings and ravings, his mood swings, his confused postings of the first 15 games of the season beg the question: is there something wrong with YF? Is he suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder? Is it a panic disorder? What about the possibility of a baseball bi-polarity? In the interest of helping my dear friend, I hereby announce the first ever amateur blogger mental state diagnosis contest. Submit your thoughts in the comments. The winner gets 30 minutes on the couch with YF.
Start here for help with your diagnosis, but on a more serious note give here to do some good. I sent a donation today – please help if you can.
Those who live in glass houses…..
According to Dr. Kenneth P———, whom we visited earlier this week, The State of the YF is Good. (Okay, he’s a puminologist, not a shrink, but whatever.)
Anyway, geniuses are supposed to be a little obsessive-compulsive. We can’t help it. Such is the price of greatness, and we gladly pay.
SF, what was your diagnosis and where did you go for treatment? YF is sounding uncannily like you did last year around July/August.
My diagnosis was cognitive dementia, brought on by years of emotional bipolarity, related to a paranoia attributable to the uncontrolability of others.
YF’s condition may vary, though, and could just be a simple, long-needed unhinging.
Oh, and I got treatment over the course of a month last October, you know the Doctor(s) I think.
October? What happened then? I seem to have some sort of temporary amnesia with respect to events in the second half of that month…
ahh…sweet denial!! clung to it myself through the winter…
2004 never happened, it was all just a bad dream.
