I didn't mean exactly like Jeff. image Just the vibe. Ala your DDL reference.

What meds were you on? I can't draw any parallels to Jeff's life with mine (music especially), except maybe the father thing. But that's probably pretty common in this society, though.

Elliott was probably so jealous of Jeff because he was actually a good songwriter, unlike himself. Hence Rufus Wainwright's initial disdain for Jeff.

I can't even remember the first medication I was on. I was a really quiet, exceptionally shy child. I think my parents mistook my lack of socializing as depression when I was probably just had a social phobia. I started taking meds when I was about 11 and did so for a few years. Then when I was 15 I had a seizure in my sleep. Went to the hospital in an ambulance, came home that evening, fell asleep on the couch and had another one. So I was put on tegretol as a precautionary measure. Was on that for about 3 years. Eventually was weaned off it, and the very night I took my last pill I had another seizure. So I was back on meds for about another 7/8 years. Other than having an amazingly loving family, my life has been pure feces. I've been med free now for about 3 years, and thankfully haven't had any more seizures, but I suffered from extreme dry eyes and mouth and something called 'essential tremor.' It usually just affects my hands (causes shaking), but it sometimes causes my entire body to shake involuntarily and makes my voice quiver. It really sucks because it effects every aspect of my life. It's made dating basically a no go for me. I've never even had a girlfriend before. I've always just made excuses whenever a girl has been interested in me. Hopefully I can find a remedy soon.
