Our prescription might be a little too strong for you. Feel free to cut the dosage at will and if you accidentally overdose, a little 1999 should get you back on your feet in no time.

The 3121 Crisis Centre is not affiliated nor run in any way whatsover by :

- the government;
- Prince and his business entities or associates;
- any religious organizations;
- the Org (as you can attest).

We would deny any suggestions that it is run by a shadowy member of the Gay Mafia.

I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. Your case puzzled us like few others and we needed to review the literature extensively, including the feline cases.

It appears your cat is so addicted to Prince music he is ready to prevent you from attending to the needs of nature if you don't play it at all times. Since cats can hardly buy music, it is safe to say that you did some major compulsive Prince listening at one point or another and turned your pet into a fam. However varied your musical interests might be at this time, something drastic is needed. I recommend listening to Prince only with headphones and buying a small porta-potty, until your cat tires of his chosen tactic.

And? This is all very normal around here. Okay, maybe you are a little too committed, but there's no reason to commit you.

About your boot fetish, don't worry. This is much cleaner that being into some of the stuff practiced by some posters on this very thread.

This is normal, high-energy fandom. Maybe one day you won't have the energy and will look back fondly on your ONA days.

jone70 said:

Yes, a little bit. You are obviously compulsive but you know what? You could be a compulsive gambler. Now, that's a problem. If your urine turns purple, give us a call.

prettymansson said:

You identify with Prince. That in itself is a rather serious issue, given the turns his career can take (and that your psyche will follow). Still, we're happy your depression is only mild. We know of fans who became recluses for three months after NPS was released. It was very sad. The mildness of your symptoms means you are able to separate your identity from Prince's.

You appear to be a moderator.

Since you have chosen to accept this challenging position, I think it's clear you have some sado-masochistic tendencies. I say wear your best leather this weekend and play safe.

Your Crisis Centre has already given us the greatest gift of all -- hope -- and neither I nor my cat had to put on a hospital gown and get all breezy up the backside.

Thanks to your Centre I’ve been able to track down a hot little portable that should put the “T” back into Tough Love.

Fingers crossed that this beauty still sits on the lot tomorrow morning.

Is this the shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one....Doctor "everything will be allright"

Well, if it is - i need help. I am eating like crazy, i slept for 12h, i can have normal conversations and that scares me, because the new Prince single has been released, and all of that should be way different. Something is totally wrong here, and i don`t know what to do. The Let`s Work 12" helped for like an hour, but now i feel totally normal again.

Can you help me?

I heard there`s a medical group called the Foo Fighters. What are they fighting for?
I also heard there`s a guy called Sly Stone and i`ve experience an unusual "high" by following his medication.
I am totally lost. Please, help me.

Yes, it's quite possible Prince is no longer the strong medecine you need. Just like there are many ways to relieve an headache there are different bands and artists to feed your soul and keep you psyche in balance.

Unfortunately, a small percentage of fans do not know that and basically listen to nothing but Prince for months if not years. They become such habitual Prince listeners they secretly start to dislike the music... but are so dependent they deny this feeling to themselves and continue their strict musical diet, completely oblivious to the fact they express their anger in other ways such as slamming doors loudly and not flushing when they leave the john.

I recommend you continue listening to those Poo Fighters you speak of. Also I hear You Too is pretty good though I haven't really gotten around to listening to the band, which I hear is fronted by Cher's husband.

thedoorkeeper said:

You suffer from Sudden Mutism Syndrome, which strikes 1 in 200 000 Prince fans. No one really knows why mutism sets in, but my own theory is that it's a form of affective vampirism. By not expressing yourself, you force your loved ones and other fans to do all the talking/typing, thereby gaining passive aggressive control of the relationship. Anyone who ever got the silent treatment can testify this theory at least makes some sense.

The deal here is that even though we have some understanding of what hails you, you must at least give us your symptoms. We can ask you questions and you can just nod yes or no. Otherwise, we can't help. Sorry.

That & severe constipation.
