Adult: See? I told you! This is real. This hurts. Stop pretending it isn’t going to happen.

Inner Child: But I don’ yike it. It make bad sad time to need pills.

Shitty Committee: We just want to say that clearly this happens because you’re a lazy weak shameless addict who lies about needing medicaiton just so she can get happy pills

Adult: Shitty Committee is overruled. They have things entirely backwards and besides since when is it a bad thing to want to be happy?

Body: Shitty Committee is going to be ignored today. We’ve been sending out pain alerts for a while now and getting no answer. Without alternate solutions, we will continue sending out messages until we are heard.

Shitty Committee: See? You are whining for pills like a damned addict

Shitty Committee: You negotiate with Inner Child? Ugh, you are so lame and stupid. Can’t even take control when its called for.

Body: WE WILL SHOUT LOUDER THAN YOU

Adult: Shitty Committee WILL shut up or body will just send more urgent messages… you guys are locked in a vicious cycle. Somebody step away!
