Mentalist

Being a mentalist in NY is fucking expensive. I see a guy called Michler Bishop every week. He's nice and all but charges $175 for 45 minutes. Fuck. He said I should call a colleague of his to get some meds/drugs/happy pills. She's mid-30's and an Aussie, so it transpires.

I just called her and she charges $400 for a 1 hour initial meeting. Four hundred fucking dollars for an hour. I told her I couldn't afford it and she asked if I'd seen a psychiatrist before and how much I paid. "Yes" I said - "in the UK and it was about 90 pounds". "Well, $400 is the going rate here" she says. Nice line of work I think to myself.

Fuck.

Pete's tip of the day: don't get depression or anxiety or anything wrong with your brain. It's too fucking expensive. Don't be like Alan's mentalist fan below.

PEACE-OUT
