The_Rorschach I get up, and nothing gets me down
You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around
And I know, baby, just how you feel
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real

Hmm... I think I've figured out another problem that contributed to my bout of depression: I am impatient.

This situation has dragged out over the course of months, and I always like to resolve things as quickly as possible so I can get on with my life. I'm okay with postponing things for a little while, but after a couple days, my mind starts getting suspicious and thinks too much.
Everyones impatient when they care about something. And of course, to fuck with us, women do everything in their power to drag things out when they know we care about them and want a quick resolution.

Its a shitty spot to be in, and its not easy to dig yourself out, but you will eventually.

As I said, you just need less contact with her, and tons of things to keep your mind occupied elsewhere. problem solved. As soon as you find another girl it will be 100% cured.

AChimp I have a boner 90% of the time.

Cosmo Electrolux My "friends" may have noticed the bizzare changes in my personality, but failed to clue me in. I starting taking 20 mg of Celexa and eventually went up to the maximum dosage (80 mg). I was basically a zombie, but still somewhat functional. I then was switched to another medication (the name escapes me) and thats when the weirdness peaked. It was supposed to be the same thisng as Celexa, but in a more concentrated form.

Yo

Cosmo - Prozac did that to me too. 10mg a day and I went from being depressed but functional to being a complete zombie with no desire other than to sleep and eat garlic bread to someone actually contemplating doing some very bad things just to see what would happen.

I'm an explorer and very curious by nature. Prozac made my thoughts really dark and those traits were starting to express themselves in some really scary ways. I so glad a few of my friends pointed it out. On any normal day I couldn't hurt a fly but I was expressing some very dark desires. It really worried them because they knew about my family and how my mom went down the same road.

Cosmo Electrolux I'll report it Doopa...those things are dangerous.
Aug 14th, 2003 08:36 PM
Anonymous kahljorn - actually yes there are a few she could be referring to

cosmo - make sure it gets reported, especially because there is a big cover-up about that, and now they are trying to say it only affects people that way who are under the age of 18

Cosmo Electrolux Actually Chimp, he told me I'd hate them, but he wanted me to try them and therapy...I tried the meds, they made me want to die. I did some research and found that some SRI's make people suicidal. He changed my meds and it got worse. When I found myself sitting at the end of my driveway crying because I didn;t have the guts to pull out in front of a speeding dumptruck, I decided that this wasnt normal and the meds had to go. I'm still quite miserable, but no longer suicidal.
Aug 14th, 2003 07:17 PM
AChimp I don't think so. :/

Either she's making it up, or she's too stupid to know what the doctor was telling her.
Aug 14th, 2003 05:24 PM
kahljorn I noticed it's the latest trend to pretend you're insane and pretend you take a bunch of meds. That's so lame, I was talking to this girl and she said she takes mood stabalizers and anti-psychotics, I asked her what kind and what she said was some kind of anti-seizure medicine or something :/ Are mood stabalizers for seizures?

AChimp General physicians aren't qualified to be diagnosing mental disorders.
Aug 14th, 2003 02:30 PM
Cosmo Electrolux that was my family doctor....
Aug 14th, 2003 01:16 PM
AChimp Stop seeing psychiatrists. See psychologists instead.
Aug 14th, 2003 12:44 PM
Cosmo Electrolux I can;t remember what my doctor called my particular disorder, but I get no pleasure out of life..they put me on meds for a while, but I took myself off of them. I hated the fucking things.

AChimp I am mellowing out now. I am no longer euphoric, but the overall happiness/contentedness has remained, except for a brief period where I got pissed off at my dad.

Chimp

Chimpy - I'm so glad you are feeling better! I'm not sure how what I said in any way helped you...it seems to me that what others said played more of a part......but either way the important thing is that you feel better.
Much hugs and happiness to you my little monkey man!

Sethomas I've mentioned before that I have schizoaffective disorder, but never really explained it. Basically, it's bipolar disorder complicated by schizophrenic episodes. My schizophrenia plays out as a complete lack of desire to live and inability for joy, as well as what I rationalize has hightened awareness of God's interaction with the world. As things work out, I have three week periods of extreme depression, followed by three week periods in which I still want to die but at least I'm not barraged with constant reminders of how much life sucks, and then I have three weeks when I can read minds and the radio tells me to murder people.

I really find the whole thing hilarious, it just sucks that it happens to be my life.

sspadowsky Perhaps someone should shut down the PC and sleep it off for a while.

kahljorn Medications are lame, because of them we lost all our soothsayers and Seers. What a waste.

Schitzophrenia runs in my family, both of my uncles are schitzophrenic. One is drug induced, one is just natural(but drugs helped I'm sure). They say the later needs to be medicated, and he does if he doesn't want to see God in a milk carton. He's always happy though, after breakfast, and he's had a nice conversation with God. Or he left the liquor store and bought cigarettes for Jesus and left them in the Fridge next to milk.
How could you want to medicate someone who has found God. He drinks alot of milk, stays healthy. The only bad thing is he wanders the streets for months at a time and smokes lots of crack. But the love is there.

I'm mostly Bi-polar, mood swings are fun. One day you want to sleep, the next you can naturally be up hyper dance style, writing like Chigi the left handed guy who sings in a spoon. Yogurts pretty good when you think about it. One day you're sad, the next day you're glad you were sad but then you get mad and the thoughts you had become bad and your dad hates your latest fad.
Occasionally when it's dark out I see black cats, these blackcats soon transform into such objects as soap containers and the like. It's my spirit guide I'm content to say, occasionally when high enough I see a wolf, or hear the hymning. You know that hymning noise, it's important. An electric impulse is occasional, with that slight glee and danger surrounding it. You can't help but wonder what the fuck I'm talking about. Light fringes on vision often tranforms into celestial wisps, dancing to and fro in the lack of my comfort, in the space of my transcending of current.

Quote from The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck, M.D.


Life is difficult.

This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths *. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult - once we truly understand and accept it - then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.

Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead they moan more less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens,and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others. I know about this moaning because I have done my share.

Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Do we want to teach out children to solve them?

Discipline is the basic set of tools we require to solve life's problems. Without discipline we can solve nothing.

* The first of the "Four Noble Truths" which Buddha taught was "Life is suffering."

Baalzamon Hey man, you're the one who keeps bringing up this "intimidation" thing, not me, so YOU STFU!

Aug 12th, 2003 09:59 PM
AChimp STFU. You can't intimidate me with your big cock like you do to the ladies.
