For all of you wondering why I classify myself as "insane.. sort of", I can enlighten you. I was for a while ago diagnosed with a few minor personality disorders. Sounds more horrible than it is, I do not have eyes pointing in different directions (most of the time), I do not drool or bite, and I do not attempt to mow the lawn in mid-January. It just means I have bad periods and am generally a bit harassed by my own brain.
Due to Michael Moore we all know that the government of Norway buys you a trip to Mauritius if you feel a bit iffy. But today, as I went to the pharmacy to pick up my new dru-- I mean, medication, I got a wee bit of a shock. The exact medication the doctor had prescribed to me (which should last me about 3 months), would cost me about 2200 NOK, or €270! Oh, spiffing! Thankfully there is a cheaper version of the exact same medication produced by some other company, and if I picked those my prescription would fill out a bunch of complicated rules, and I didn't have to pay anything. Which is kinda neat. But I have to admit I was a bit sweaty before I found this out. "So this is my punishment for having a sadistic terrorist of a brain? Paying an arm and a leg for some stuff that might help? I bet I could get them cheaper in some back alley in Oslo!"
