The ability to judge my own mental state is always the first thing to fly out the window.

From my perspective it's the world changing around me, getting darker and more dangerous. There's no "little voice" that tells me it's the chemistry changing inside my head.

I can write about this over and over again, and I've done so here, but it sneaks up on me every damned time.
