About

It’s all about ME.  This blog was started as a way for me to clear my mind and put things into perspective during my depression (please, people – I was NOT a crazy, hypersensitive, over-dramatic histrionic – I possibly would not have been depressed if I was able to externalize how I was feeling); things difficult to say aloud were much easier said in writing.  I’m well now…well, as well as one can be when one is slightly mad to begin with.

About me…A 30-something year old professional and if I’m completely honest, classist, by virtue of the fact that I called myself a “professional.” What the hell?  I’m a doctor, a Sexual Health doctor.  Yes, I look at fannies, penises and arseholes all day.

Anderes Ich is German for “alter ego.”  I’m neither German nor writing as an alter ego of myself.  It’s just a name to anonymize me.  Writing as someone nobody knows is the only way I’m able to be completely honest.  I think I’m okay.  I think most people think I’m okay.  I love most of the people I like and like many of the people I love.  I can be mean and brutally harsh (I have the perfect angel face for that) but I will always do nice things for the people I care about.  I wish there was still some bright-eyed-bushy-tailed left in me but instead I carry cynicism like a badge of honour. I don’t tolerate stupidity. 

 I think I may have overachieved in life and love way too early and now wonder if the best years of my life have been and gone.  If I were to die tomorrow, I don’t know that I would be sad.  In the meantime, I shall whinge, contemplate and talk shit as I please.
