99% of the world doesn't live an easy life. Also, don't do anti-depressants. I can guarantee that they will only make things worse for you.
CONGRATULATIONS! you are a certifiable woman. don't take their drugs, you don't need them. they will only make things worse in the long run. smoke weed and tell yourself this: i am doing just fine.
You're older, much more mature, and much more comfortable with yourself than Laety. I could see how the pills could work for you, but I just as easily could see a girl like Laety hiding from her problems within the pills instead of actually solving them. (or something a tad less oversimplified)
that's a good point. they're not an easy way out. it takes a lot of time, energy, judgement and trying everything else you can to fix it. for me, it's primarily chemical. i've done enough of the other stuff to realize that about me.
Yes.. I think maybe Pavel has a point! My therapist is recommending a low dosage of Zoloft. I told him that when I was put on a high dosage of that shit years ago I completely lost it and that I was afraid and very skeptical.. besides.. I do also feel it would be like running away from my issues instead of really working on them. That's my general opinion on meds, unless you're schizophrenic or something.
Penny I'd say , the way to be happy is exercise , nutrition and surrounding yourself with positive people in real life.Oh and meeting small targets every day.And not worrying about what you cant control. Maybe u put yourself under much too much pressure with this America thing? Oh ... and in the past ... drugs...
I do worry about things I can't control a lot. That's true. And I just feel intense emotions all the time. Like if I'm happy - I'm REALLY happy. If I'm upset - I'm fucking distressed as hell.
you should be very very careful what you're putting in your body. bad meds aren't just relegated to the boring ones like lexapro. other things have a lasting effect and can mess with your head for years.
I'm guessing but I'd say u need to channel your passion and nervous energy into something positive.And does it really matter which stages are in Europe or America? IMO , avoid the recreational drugs - stop trying to chase a feeling of elation that you simply wont find after u've been a regular drug user. Why dont you try an Eastern approach to the medicine stuff?
I REALLY need to get back to mediation.. and yoga! Last time I tried to meditate I fell asleep though.. I just don't seem to be able to do it anymore.
GODDAMN, I HATE MY MOOD SWINGS AND I HATE ALL OF YOU FUCKERS, God FUCKING daMMIT BITCH TOOK MY FUCKING SANDWICH AT WORKAAAAGGGHhGHHGhhhhhhhhhh --:!:.-!!
Penny.I lived with a girl some years back that had the same symptoms/behaviour as you're describing.She manifested most of her unreasonable behaviour through jealousy.She would just flip out over imaginary things that never happened.Ruined every scene we were in -shopping ,parties,"homelife",ect.Anyway,she was prescribed lithium carbonate which as I recall is a natural substance.About 24 hours after she started taking it,she changed inasmuch as she became a real pleasure to be around,was fun and not zombied whatsoever.A few months later she said "I don't want to take pills to be normal--I'm quitting them".Just about 24 hours later she reverted to what the head doc said initially was manic depression.Couldn't take HER "normal",so I left her.Maybe this helps--maybe it doesn't.----------I disagree with those who say there's no mental illness.Visit a mental fascility and see for yourselves.Take care-----
