i'm feeling wistful

Do you realize
That you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize
We're floating in space?
Do you realize
That happiness makes you cry?

Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die?
And instead of saying all of your good-byes
Let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do you realize?

I'm going to be serious on this board for once.

I don't believe in psychology or psychiatry, especially the drugs. These drugs are hardcore and can really fuck you up. Psychs try and say that they “balance chemicals in your brain” which may be true, but the only emotional change is going to be feeling numb or like “everything is okay” (even when it’s not) or fucking killing people (the majority of recent murderers, especially kids, have been on or were on psych drugs). There are permanent mental and physical effects from these drugs.

This is only a bit of what I have learned talking to many people on psych drugs and doing research. If you are on psych drugs and this is not true for you (about the emotions), it is very common and far too common for these assholes to keep prescribing them.

You do NOT have to get on drugs or go to therapy. Inforcing it violates the constitution (although they are trying to pass laws to make it legal).

i love therapy. it's the only place in the world you can complain to no end and not have someone yell at you for it.

The key to therapy is maintaining a sense of personal control. Realizing that you don't have to talk about anything you don't want to. That you don't have to take anything you don't want to. That a simple diagnosis doesn't render you helpless or a freak. As long as you have a good sense of this and a psychologist/psychitrist that respects that, it can do no harm. Unfortunately, a lot of people who do go into therapy are easily impressionable and end up just becoming overly paranoid about their symptoms or developing more symptoms after a diagnosis is suggested.

Lie · 12-06-2002, 06:16 PM

I had a crush on my former therapist.

She never found out about that.

Mayfuck · 12-06-2002, 06:24 PM

Your'e not bipolar. You just whine about moronic shit that everyone goes through. And you're still a stupid bitch.

You believe all of this because you're in denial.

regarding what the original quote said about "feeling numb". if your medications make you feel numb, they're not working the way they're supposed to... and if you feel better off without the meds- then you're probably not supposed to be on the meds. lots of shrinks get really medicine- happy. actually, lots of doctors do it period. you have a problem- take a pill... you don't like this? take a pill. we've become an overmedicated culture. i once posted a list of all the fucking shit i was taking. i cut it all out. i'm only on lexapro and lithium now...and i feel great. i'm not having the fucking side effects, and my blood is no longer a medicinal cocktail that probably was hurting me more than my disorder. be careful with meds...not leary. make sure your doctor isn't just throwing prescriptions in your face.

If you're joking:

Hahaha

If you're serious:

I'm not denying anything. Everyone has prblems. I just don't want a group who started out with sticking ice picks into patients brains and shocking them with thousands of volts of electricity (which they still do) to cure people (make into an unaware and mindless member of society), telling me which made up "mental disorder" (of the thousands they've created) I have so that they can put me on drugs that will "make it all better".

I think a lot of what you said is very true, but regardless of the fact that you "feel great", drugs do not get to the root of the problem. They do not cure people. You are only covering up the proplem with the drugs while your go to therapy to try to handle it and most therapy, unfortunately is hit or miss. If you are doing well with therapy and you fell like you are handling things then I don't want to diminish that gain.

I don't think that you need to be on drugs. You may feel great, but if you do not feel great off the drugs then that great feeling is artificial. When you take drugs to feel better you are addressing yourself only as a body, which you are definately not.

I am joking. I think that most people just are too lazy to deal with their problems and search for people to help them when in fact they can just get off their asses and stop blaming others and just deal with the fact that life isn't fucking fair.
