I Was Only Kidding, Of Course

When I said in my last post that “I agreed to go see a real doctor so Jane would shut up about it,” I was just joking around. Jane has been an incredibly supportive and positive influence on me during what would have otherwise been an almost insurmountably difficult time.
Many of you have wondered what I was doing while I took a little break (was it really a month? I must have slept more than I thought) from blogging. The truth is, I’m not ready to go into it too deeply, though I plan to at some point.
Let’s just say, for now, that I now realize that my mother is alive, but that our relationship would be better if she weren’t.
Creepy and entertaining. How come I was almost resigned that I would never read Harlan anymore? You’re a light, babe. Keep it coming.
Is your mother sane? That definitely would put her at odds with the rest of your family.
H I have to admit. Since you’ve come back, this has been wierd as fuck. Take some time then let us know what actually happened
I’m just glad you are back. Whether you’re screwing with our minds or not, I don’t care. I’m just interested. So keep it coming.
H, you used to write to express your thoughts and vent your negative feelings. As glad as I am to have you back, if you’re self-censoring to maintain some privacy, perhaps it’s best not to continue blogging about this stuff until you’re feeling like you want and need to open up. You can still tell us why you don’t like doorbells though. And what are your cats’ names?
Holy Shit! I click onto this blog for one last time before I delete it and look……3 new posts. Hurray!!
Welcome back Harlan, you big mentalist. This blog is Internet Gold.
I was really curious to see whether you or your sister were right about your Mum being alive. How revealing! The Internet appreciates your posts.
I understand. People just really don’t get mental disabilities on this site. I do. My daughter. And it breaks my heart. But you are still a fantabulous writer.
Moshiizzle, I think it’s time you stop reading. This blogs for harlan, not for you.
For the life of me, I cannot see anything in
Moshizzle’s comment indicating that he/she doesn’t
understand mental illness. I actually did smile
as I read the last two questions.
Look at the variations of what people think on your
poll Lara.
Who is right ?
My best to you and your daughter.
I actually think this blog is internet gold in awareness of the fragility of the human brain and some
fantabulous writing too.

Jaydon, thanks for bending over and shining some light on Lara’s comments. Lara, also the best to your daughter, but not every situation is the same as your daughter’s.
Your mom is alive? Looks like sis was right huh? That’s gotta be tough to swallow. Perhaps this is a good time to reflect on how accurate the REST of your perceptions are.
Joe
Oh, and “Jane has been supportive” :) Looks like she saw that last post and wasn’t too keen on the “shut up about it” part huh?
Slick with tha ladies H man, slick.
Joe
I think we are all going to need our boots for the next post - it’s gonna be deep.
And the baiting continues.
Author is off creating the next story line.
hum.. so your mom drove you to be on more meds?
did you and jane go and search for your mom on your time off?
Glad your back. I have been reading for a while now and not commenting, but seriously why so secretive. I am excited to hear all the details, or as many as your allowed to reveal! Keep it coming . . .
ZZZZZZzzzzzz
I’m fairly certain starting a relationship out lying is a bad move.
My complete understanding of your life, Harlan: My daughter is a “cutter”. Finally asked I her if she would go to a 10 day treatment facility to get her onto meds to stabilize her so she would stop cutting herself. She’s there LESS THAN ONE DAY. Today, fucking social worker told me that my daughter had tried to KILL HERSELF by o-ding on Execedrin two months ago but she never told anyone. at that point I FELT SUICIDAL. ’cause she tells me EVERYTHING (including trying pot and going to third base with a boy) so the suicide attempt was freaking shocking. Then after 1/2 hour. social worker calls me up to tell me that they MIXED HER up with another kid. SO, at $300/day, isn’t that a perfect way to feel good! Hang in there. I had three drinks today to get past this and I’m trying to figure out what the FUCK to do. Really want to blog on my blog, but Bella’d kill me if I posted this.
Sorry about your troubles Lara but there is a big difference between Bella and I. Her problems are real mine are all made up.
Ooooh, SNAP!
Your mother is alive! this is like a very wierd and twisted soap opera. Thanks, H.
My numbers are dropping. I promise to come up with something even more ridiculous very soon. Sadly, I will need my dead mothers approval prior to posting. Oh wait! She’s alive. Never mind.
teasing us Harlan ? as so many have suggested, don’t make me lose faith, bud. How are you?
Jaydon
Bend over and let the sun shine Jaydon.
Harlan, you’re great. Thats all I wanted to say to you.
Lara:
Don’t worrry about your daughter so much, she’ll make it through. In this day and age cutting an suicide attempts are pretty common in teens. Granted, it is a crazy thing to do, but at least when I went through it, I only attempted offing myself once, because I realized that it was a brand new start. I really, really, really hope that your daughter gets the happiness she deserves.
Love; Hole
Let’s see - who is the one who keeps telling me to ben
Dover?
Must be asshat - Whatever, I get a kick out of you,
anyway…
What is so wrong with sunshine, I ask you ?
Maybe you need some more of it.
Vitamin D and all.
Waving hello to ALL my sunshiney friends,and hope to hear what’s going on with you soon, Harlan.
Jaydon
Personally I think Harlan is impersonating himself as Harlan. It’s brilliant.
Mo -
When the “real” Harlan used to comment, (back in the day)it linked back to his site. I believe this “Harlan” is an imposter.
or am I an imposter? Or perhaps I am an illusion?
Ask my mama.
That’s exactly my point. Perhaps a little too brilliant?
or perhaps someone is messing with you.
Whoever is writing as “Harlan,” please stop.
You’re the best Hole. Thank you. I pray you are right. hate that cutting stuff. HATE IT. Now for Harlan. This is his website. Funny we all post our shit on here. Harlan posting is totally an imposter. but what ever. It’s what makes this site go round. and round. If Harlan had the appropriate number of ad units on his site, he could retire and go live somewhere else.
Harlan: It’s Bella and ME, not I. That’s how I know you are not really the real Harlan. Grammer baby, grammer.
Grammar baby, grammar.
