The Unhappy Thread

[SuperBowser]

Holding a job won't prevent you from getting treatment. Lots of people with mental health issues have jobs. They won't make a judgement on one superficial factor; the very fact you turn up means they will take your problem seriously.

Lots of people worry if their problems are enough to bother the doctor about. I'd say you should just go and let the doc decide.

Some friends of mine re gonna be doing acid in the near future. This doesn't surprise me except one of these friends is one that I wouldn't expect. This friend has never even done weed before. I'm not anti drugs but I personally don't partake in any of it and I feel like I'm losing part of a friend I related to. But I guess I'm just concerned for my friends. But should I be?

Make sure there is a relatively sober person present to "babysit" them so to speak. They don't have to be overbearingly protective, but there really should be someone of sound mind to bring someone down to earth if they happen to have an idea that is really unsafe. Or at the very least, someone who is very experienced with psychedelics like LSD. Nobody is going to die of an acid overdose or anything if that's what you mean. It's just a matter of being safe, and an LSD trip is much more lucid than movies, books and TV would have you believe. People are not going to be running after cars thinking they are hamburgers or whatever. LSD can be extremely helpful with internalizing one's own life through a different lens, and it can be a positive spiritual experience. It could also be a total nightmare but all that really depends on the set and setting more than just the drug. If one of your friends is suicidal or super depressed I would not want them taking something like LSD.

Possibly. Doing LSD is known to be a life-changing expierence and your friend could change.
Also, being concerned, what LuigiToilet said, if they're with someone who's done this before and in a safe/chill spot (not at a ****ing music festival or in the club), they'll be fiiine.

 

[Grandeza]

They'll just be at a friend's house. No sitter. One guy has done it like 3 or 4 times but that's it. I would be their sitter but I'll be out of town. Guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I just get concerned but I'm probably getting worked up over nothing.

Haven't posted in here in months, since my life's pretty much back on track. Another new years eve where I will be completely alone. Partly because I despite parties, and partly because I don't really have any friends.

**** sucks.

Niceness. Spending it alone as well. Hope you have a good time/find something to do. I'm probably going to be playing an mmo till midnight or maybe practicing some tech skill cause I suck at it. Woohoo I'm a party animal xD.

 

[Rubyiris]

I probably won't do much of anything. Probably just lurk various message boards, and fight off depression.

Ah well I hope you have fun with that.

I'm sad because I hate it when people steal your good ideas and get all the credit for it and they say they made it. It was also even more depressing because I thought he was a nice guy. Sigh, I guess it's a dog eat dog world.

 

[Rubyiris]

Went to a friends party; really didn't enjoy myself at all. Probably would have enjoyed my evening more if I stayed home. :\

 

[Steel]

That's the attitude.

 

[Teran]

I never enjoy parties, so I drink lots until I do.

It's a pretty simple concept.

 

[Pluvia]

I went to 7 parties last night. Still feeling the affects of it now.

 

[Luigitoilet]

I was in a really dark place last night. I hope I don't feel like that again for a long time

 

[Jim Morrison]

Oh Luigi and his implications!

 

[StealthyGunnar]

So how does one decide what the **** he wants to do for the rest of his life?

 

[Teran]

Think of something and stick to it.

 

[SuperBowser]

If only it was that easy.

I need to decide what sort of doctor I want to be as I'm choosing my jobs right now. Still have as much clue as when I entered medical school.

 

[1048576]

Coworker won't stop sighing unless I carve his eyes out with a butter knife. I can keep quiet so I can't imagine he has an excuse. What do?

 

[Luigitoilet]

carve his eyes out with a butter knife obviously

 

[Steel]

I think you should quit your job and meditate for a few months straight.

 

[1048576]

I hate this job. Nothing makes any ****ing sense.

I don't get the concept of burnout. I have just as hard a time working after 3 months off as I do after having worked for 10 hours straight.

 

[RATED]

This year(forgot we are in 2012 already) in december I'm going to graduate in Computer information systems(sorry for the bad naming) and I really don't know what to do with life after it. I'm going to move my old house by myself probably but I was given an option of the US but I don't even want to go to US anymore. Why US if there's like a lot of places to go. I mean I wish I could live in a quiet places where I could just keep studying more, a work and ride my bike to both places and living in an apartment.

Then I think that the whole Working, Getting home, sleeping, check to pay stupid ****, work, free days and getting old meanwhile sucks.

Thing that I would really love to do is being a computer professor or teaching about computers. I'll probably just get a master degree over here even though I don't want to live in PR anymore and then move to somewhere away from PR.

 

[Pikaville]

Back to work after the holidays.

Can't play as much Skyrim.

This makes me unhappy.

 

[1048576]

I need to have a heart attack. It's the only way to get out of here without getting fired.

I need to be drunk or high or apathetic enough to cut my own head off with a chainsaw before I'll be drunk or high or apathetic enough to not have to.

This is getting out of hand. (you know this already, sorry for restating it). Please, just go seek help already. It sounds like your going through hell, so somebody would be glad to help you. I'm sure lots of people out there would be willing to help in some way. I know I would, but I'm not the best person for this area. You need a specialist.

 

[1048576]

I finally worked myself up to call the local counseling center despite having no insurance and a morbid fear of going into debt. As is completely not typical for anyone else, I got a voicemail in the middle of a Wednesday.

I'm sure nobody can help me. Drugs are my last hope. I should be able to get them, but these tiny obstacles always turn into huge catastrophes being that my 90 day insurance ballooned into 150 day insurance, I never have any free time, and the counseling center doesn't answer my calls. I know for a fact it is faster and cheaper for me to get marijuana than to get an antidepressant. It's absurd.

So yeah, color me pessimistic when I say that the doctor will put the final nail in the coffin when I finally get to her by denying my plea for drugs based on not having had them growing up. I think based on the data I have so far, I'm just being realistic.

 

[Steel]

jesus christ. no, you're not being realistic. stop posting here and go tell the doctor your issues.

 

[1048576]

Tell what doctor? See, I can't help but think that somehow you've just had a doctor handed to you given that you don't seem to understand my logistical issues. That doesn't make sense to me. Please tell me how you managed to get the only doctor in the area to answer your calls when the number you used to call went to voicemail, and how you found the time to make an appointment despite working 55 hours a week and living alone and not owning a car. Or, you can acknowledge that you don't fully understand the situation and as a result your assessment of what is and isn't realistic is meaningless. Either way is good.

It's prolly worth reiterating that this isn't "me." This is the internet version of me that keeps IRL me from going ape**** and getting arrested and fired. I think you have some kind of incoherent rage directed at me and hopefully this will assuage some of that.

I find myself telling other people who ***** to me about their problems: "I'm lucky I don't have your circumstances." Yet I've never heard anyone else say anything similar (to me or otherwise). Is everyone else really that ******** that they think everyone else is the same as them? That fat people experience the same hunger or timid people had the same childhood or tech-illiterate people had the same education? I mean, I try to be liberal and keep an open mind but more and more I feel like most people just aren't sentient. Maybe they aren't curious.

 

[Luigitoilet]

Uh, call the counseling center again. "Oh no it went to voicemail this one time, NOBODY CAN HELP ME EVER I MIGHT AS WELL START DOING DRUGS isn't my life tragic and unendurable?"

 

[1048576]

I have to wait. The secretary would have expected me to leave a message. Also, I get that you're mocking me, but you're doing it in a very confusing way. I want to do drugs. I've openly admitted as much several times. I think you would acknowledge that I should be taking drugs.

The rest isn't worth talking about. Arguing with smashers is ehhh..

Anyway I thought at least you could stay civil with me. I imagine if every day I put one of my programming problems in front of you, put a gun to your head and said "You have 8 hours," you'd be behaving pretty similarly

 

[Luigitoilet]

Oops, I was thinking you meant street drugs not scripts.

and I dunno, maybe you're right. I feel sorry for you but it does get annoying that this thread is 1048576's sad blog more than anything. but oh well, that's what the thread is for I guess. I should just keep quiet and ignore instead of saying something, lol

Yeah. I know I'm being annoying. You have the banhammer if you want to use it.

 

[Luigitoilet]

nah. even if I could ban people that would be awful of me to ban you for that haha. I'm just speaking as a fellow poster not a mod

 

[Jim Morrison]

Remember, LT, you are ALWAYS a mod and never a fellow poster to us commoners.

 

[Vinylic.]

But we're all equal, jim. So let the man believe.

So about my unhappiness, do you ever get that feeling where you've been out of school for a long time and you go back to it in 2 weeks? That's what I feel right now.
I feel like staying home, not waking at 6:00am and enjoying my day. But I don't wanna risk myself from having no graduation...

 

[Luigitoilet]

Remember, LT, you are ALWAYS a mod and never a fellow poster to us commoners.

Yep, being on the top has its consequences.

edit:

today I'm kinda unhappy because I just got called out of work. I mean, I love not working but I'm kinda strapped for cash.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

My unhappiness stems forth from the fact that I've just done 4 book reports in 3 days, and I still got 2 more to go. Ugh.

Meanwhile I want to do things I enjoy. Or even just things I want to finish by the end of this break, but it looks like that'll be a no-go.

 

[Shorts]

Im unhappy because anything that has a hint of doubt in it causes me to burn holes through my stomach lining. I'm a major worrier, and because of a bunch of crap I wasn't able to sign up for my classes until recently, which means I'm on a waiting list... again. I'll probably get into the three classes just fine, JUST like I did last time, but... nope. I'm a worrier. I'll probably have half a stomach by the time I actually get back to my apartment.

HO HUM.

 

[Pikaville]

Let me just say that smoking marajuana if you have regular panic attacks and anxiety is a really terrible idea.
