I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream
The title comes from a sci-fi work by Harlan Ellison and is prompted by my meditations upon my hypertension.
Just how much does repressed emotion play in PD? And it may be gender specific. I have learned over the years that, beneath my James Bond-like cool exterior, resides a monkey house that I have to struggle to access at all. Rigid self-control has been my way since childhood and PD seems a reflection of that. Is it in one of the menu columns?
