An update for those playing along at home; I hadn&#8217;t taken any Effexor at all since last Thursday, I had to have last Friday off work,  and today (Monday) I still feel like death warmed up.  I feel like electric shocks are pulsing through my body approximately every 15 seconds and when I [...]]]></description>

So I&#8217;m down to one third of my original anti depressant dose now and I&#8217;m doing a lot better!  Still have the odd brain shiver, but nowhere near as bad.  
I had such a stressful day yesterday &#8211; I was up at 5 to go and co host The Circle, which was fantastic [...]]]></description>

I am currently on day 3, (I think) of withdrawal from my anti depressants.  I&#8217;v been taking them for about 5 years now.  Effexor mainly.  It is killing me, and I&#8217;m not even going cold turkey.  I&#8217;m taking two thirds of the dosage I was on, and it&#8217;s really killing.  [...]]]></description>

Mine was mixed.  I spent the morning goofing around on The Circle, making testicle jokes with Russell Coight, and discussing Demi Moore&#8217;s exhaustion with the other girls.  I jumped into my car at about midday to head home, but before I pulled out of the channel 10 carpark I decided to have a [...]]]></description>

This is my passion at the moment &#8211; The Gap.  It has been for about 3 years actually, but it&#8217;s taken this long for me to find someone to help me enter the world of Aboriginal Australia.  I know that sounds ridiculous but honestly, it&#8217;s so much harder than I ever thought it [...]]]></description>

It is strange, even to me that I feel compelled to comment on the demise of Andrew G&#8217;s marriage to the mysterious Noa Tishby.  Strange because I neither like nor dislike Andrew G, I couldn&#8217;t even be bothered looking up his last name which he prefers to &#8220;G&#8221; these days (Ginsberg?), and also because [...]]]></description>

What a funny old day.  My chronic reflux makes it feel like my stomach acid is eating it&#8217;s way out of my body, probably particularly bad today because I knew I had to confront a former friend about her catty, corporate crap in front of a room full of men who&#8217;ll no doubt chalk [...]]]></description>

“What are you doing?” I asked my husband.  He was wrapped neatly in his dressing gown and slippers, and closely examining something in the morning lounge-room light.  He was of course unable to hear my question as he is afflicted with the masculine inability to do two things at once.  His ability [...]]]></description>

I was so grateful to be invited back to Big Gay Day this year.  This time last year I was busy fending off serious allegations of homophobia.
It was hideous, and printed in every gay publication and website in the country.  The complaint, that I&#8217;d vilified transgender people on the radio, went to the [...]]]></description>

For a minute percentage of humans, the activity they spend the most time on, i.e. work, is also their greatest joy and passion.  For the rest of us there are hobbies.  They give us something to work for, come home to, and try to force our children to love.  Most importantly hobbies [...]]]></description>
