Having a different personality is only so bad because we’ve declared war on not conforming. I don’t trust the idea that you need to pop a pill every single time you break a nail. It’s better to actually learn some fucking coping skills, like a big boy instead of a baby who can’t get through a bad night without his pill bottle. I’m a big gal, I can break a nail without medical assistance. I don’t think fussing with your brain chemistry without reason is smart either. People think they can just pump anything into their bodies with no effects. Comes from denying reality, I guess. — http://animeg.blogspot.com/ <–yet another shitty blog. http://members.fortunecity.com/animeg3282/ <—Fancy Lala Club! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fancy_lala <mailing list for Lala fans

You say every guy around you is a jerk. How are you supposed not to be lonely with that attidude? >>I didn’t. Computer Science isn’t a particularly good environment for one >>to get mentally healthy. > I’ve never taken computer science. I’m not any good at stuff like that.

Too bad it isn’t.

I’ve finally decided to take a first step in getting help for my anxiety/depression/insomnia. I plan to call the student counseling center tomorrow and hope that they can refer me to a psychiatrist for evaluation. I have absolutely no idea what to say to them in order for them to get a good idea of how much I suffer. I had written down the number for the center a month ago and had planned on calling but I chickened out. I’ve been thinking about it and I feel I need some medication to help me with the feelings of emptiness and loneliness that eat at me every day. Developments to follow…

Man, I have to do that too, except for the medication since it’s silly to medicate yourself just so your personality can be more pleasent. And don’t worry, you’ll probably get your drugs, fill out the questionare, put down the relevent symptoms. — http://animeg.blogspot.com/ <–yet another shitty blog. http://members.fortunecity.com/animeg3282/ <—Fancy Lala Club! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fancy_lala <mailing list for Lala fans

The one at my uni wasn’t worth shit. The psychiatrist I got named by my GP is good, tho. > I had written down the number for the center a month ago and had planned on > calling but I chickened out.

Yeah I know that. Don’t be afraid of them drugs, be wary of using too many benzos but the anti depressants really are magic.

You medicate yourself so you feel better, not so your personality changes. That comes with feeling better. > And don’t > worry, you’ll probably get your drugs, fill out the questionare, put down the > relevent symptoms.
Usually you will get them no matter what. If not, you can still blackmail the shrink into giving them to you.

Your negativity alone would qualify you for chronic depression. >>Usually you will get them no matter what. If not, you can still >>blackmail the shrink into giving them to you. > That’s true.

It’s much easier, actually, just tell the shrink you don’t see any point in living on and you’ll get whatever you want. Shrinks rightfully don’t take any risks when it comes to suicidal people.

It’s pretty depressing that you can’t have a different personality without it being called a disease. Yes, I’m what you’d call a ‘grump’ back in the day. Grumps are great, they are the forces of balance, they remind us that reality bites. >It’s much easier, actually, just tell the shrink you don’t see any point >in living on and you’ll get whatever you want.

No, negative people aren’t great and they don’t balance out anything, either. They just piss off people around them in general. >>It’s much easier, actually, just tell the shrink you don’t see any point >>in living on and you’ll get whatever you want.

That’s not really lying. He quite clearly doesn’t want the life he currently lives so saying I can’t go on like this isn’t so bad.

Some personalities can be bad for the person. And you can always stop taking the med so I don’t see the great resistance you show to it. If you dont like the effects or side effects just stop taking it and you’ll return to your original state. -M

You don’t need to tell me what depressed people are or aren’t. I was quite badly depressed (tho seeing I don’t have the courage for suicide, I’m not really in too big danger). The idea of popping the pills when mentally healthy ain’t so bad. In fact, I’d suggest adding Effexor to Switzerland’s water supply if it weren’t so fucking bitter without coating. Oh and I know I’m special. In both good and bad ways.

No, it’s just like I’d like to be left alone to have my own personality. It’s like being an atheist. I don’t mind that you’re a christian, but stop bothering everyone about it. If they wanted to join you, they’d get it themselves, if you have to pester them, they don’t want any. I also don’t like being pathogized or demonized for just not being a perky person. People who are serious are very valuable nowadays. We need people to be grounded and to have morals(not the kind that is just an excuse to hate folk either) .

Pollyannas aren’t realistic. People are mean, there are tradgedies in life, not every bad thing that happens is well deserved, good things happen to bad people. That’s real life. What’s not real life is thinking happy thoughts will change it. No matter how ‘happy’ I am, I’m not going to be loved by dudes just for existing like a pretty girl would. No matter how happy I am on my own, others won’t decide to like me because of that. That’s the reality of life, and no amount of dope will change it. That’s probably why you take all that dope.

I’ve become much less shy just by going to college. Not being in such an oppressive enviroment gives me the energy to be more talkative. I even have seen improvement from just moving out from being with my shitty ass roomie. You can’t just drug yourself into accepting your enviroment, you gotta get out there and do something.

There’s a large difference between people who want conformity and those who want people to view life in a somewhat realistic light. You most certainly don’t do the latter. >>That’s not really lying.

GOD, I wouldnt want him operating on me! In one of his videos, there’s an hilarious sequence where he’s at the dentist, in the chair, playing with all the equipment while the dentist’s back is turned. He’s got the anaesthetic needle in his hand but hides it by dropping his hand down the side of the chair when the dentists turns around to start giving him a filling.

Its Mr Bean actually. Now is that guy shy or what? His shyness has turned to psychosis……if you thought the movie was funny, try getting hold of videos of the TV show. I dont know if it was shown in the US, but it was a huge hit in Australia. Way, way funnier than the movie. >Dr Art.
