I am kinda spooked of antidepressants after getting to know one dude, who got obesity and his attention span lowered to ,, I forget the previous text line in book before I get to the half of the next one" as ,,unpredicted minor side effects "
And in the end, he is still psychologically wrecked dude with insane mood swings from depression to mania state despite five years of curing his depression.
It is actually even became worse then in beginning, oh shit.

[Remie Richards]

Yeah they supposedly have wild side effects.
major ones including:
* increased risk of diabetes
* suicidal thoughts

and yeah I've heard stories of people "not being themselves" after depression meds.
but I suppose that's also the entire point.

[420weedscopes]

i am for sure not the same person
i'm sure saying this is like Really Edgy but i do not remember what i was like before anti-depressants
all i know is that i am off them and i am pretty good to go

[Remie Richards]

not the same worse or not the same better?

[Super Aggro Crag]

Something bad happened to my friend so I am upset about that.two other friends of mine have made it clear they don't want to be.my friend anymore because I am poor.

[XSI]

A side effect of some meds that are supposed to alleviate depression is deepening depression

That's just kinda how it is, we don't understand brains enough to make pills that fix the causes. We just have pills that help fight the symptoms. Which is in theory good enough if you can get them and also therapy to solve things. The cause of depression isn't really understood either, but this seems to work for at least a significant portion of people

At least humanity is trying

[420weedscopes]

not the same better
i am for sure better off now having Lived A Little

I'ma spice this bitch up with something positive. Got some sweet Malware analysis materials coming to my house, about to be be able to some malware forensics shit on my resume.

[A3STH3T1CS]

my happy pills.

I understand you're most likely saying that ironically, but don't do that.

chology background thinks I'm genuinely depressed.

I don't care, don't call them happy pills.
Knocking down the propaganda that anti-depressants are anything close to "happy pills" is priority to reduce addiction numbers.
Also it should be considered last resort and not joked about unless you identify as some edgy teenager.

[Ricotez]

did you take your joy

Fanexpo was fucking awesome even though I was hungover for the morning. Saw a panel by John barrowman and another by Alan Tudyk. They were both really funny. Bought a shitload of new dice and got an old fucking Traveller rulebook for 30 bucks. Also my costume turned out great and I even met two other people cosplaying darkest dungeon characters.

And I realised how much I actually like gin. In all a pretty awesome weekend

My Grandfather passed away at 7:50am today. He'd had a conversation with my mother about what he wanted to do in the garden (boss around my Dad) when he got home from rehab, then took a nap.

I'm going to miss him a lot. I was really proud of him and proud to be his grandson.

I can be a huge pain in the ass to deal with a lot of the time and go from zero to pissy over actual nothing but in some stupid way I'm proud of everybody here for this great big mess we've made together. Beyond the game and shit it's a nice collective of people. A good slice of autistic fuckwits trying to have fun together inbetween bouts of treating eachother like shit.

Be excellent to eachother.

Just look after yourself ya hear? You spend a lot of your time looking after people and trying to do the right thing. But now its time to just be kind to yourself. You owe that to yourself.

There's going to be a Carlin special on the 16th

Apparently this was recorded on 9/10/2001, and he said something to the effect of "I like it when a lot of people die", and then a day later 9/11 goes down and they decided to shelve the recording

15 years later and we finally get to see it

I bought some of his books. It was fun to read.

[Remie Richards]

GP isn't sure if it's depression or not, but she made it clear she wasn't saying it definitely wasn't.
She's worried it may cause issues with my other medication (You know), so she's advised asking my doctors at Nottingham if it's ok to take them together or not.
She says if things get worse before Nottingham (3 months time) or if they say it's ok that she can help me try some antidepressants really soon after, so that's nice.

tl;dr unsure, but GP's ready to act as a safety net.

[420weedscopes]

i've seen it kind of uncommonly for your current medication to cause depression but
i am sure your willpower will barge through it

i've had something on my to-do list for almost a year now and today i get to erase it
playtime video up today

Oh no choco, not caused by them, but that having both at the same time could cause extra weirdness (antidepressants already have enough side effects, let alone them acting weird in combination)

You go with psychological problems to general practioner?

Where else? plus most other places require referrals from... well, take a wild guess.
Plus as I said above, my GP *CAN* actually get me the medication for it, if necessary, so it's not like it's the "wrong" place to go.

[XSI]

Generally, as far as I am aware, you go to the GP for anything that doesn't qualify for the emergency room at the hospital. Then the GP sends you on to whichever specialist can handle in depth diagnosis and/or treatment

Might be different in the US, but this is what I know of medical systems and it seems to be working fairly well

[Timbrewolf]

I saw a few psychiatrists when I was younger but eventually my care plan was just medication that would need adjusting over time prettymuch at my own discretion with a check-in from my GP.
I'd simply tell them whether or not I needed it for the time being, and if it was strong enough to handle the problem, and they'd give me the script.

It may seem kinda lax for a drug that can so drastically change a person but the truth is it's not something you would ever, ever want to abuse in the first place.
Prozac, zoloft, other SSRI's, shit like that helps a person who genuinely needs it and FUCKING COMPLETELY RUINS THE CHEMICAL MAKEUP of someone who doesn't need it.

Nobody is going to be buying/selling that shit on the street corner or taking it for fun. The people who need it really need it and the people who don't should stay the fuck away from it.

i was out skating in between classes and i texted my friend about getting lunch and all the people in the group chat was like "no we got lunch and we saw this guy" and im like "who" and apparently one of my friends accidentally made eye contact with some dude walking and he just sat down and started yelling about like buses or something

and like

he kept playing music from his phone and he was playing nightcore and the fucking crazy frog song

[nsos]

i need to see that guy

[Falamazeer]

Awesome Nsos, guess we know theterbs is still alive.

[Malkevin]

I found it funny the frog had a dick on full view for a couple of years before anyone noticed, then they put a massive borat censor bar on it

[420weedscopes]

my brother and a bunch of his friends did warhammer shit when i was younger
the only information i gleaned from that was that paint was for sure the most expensive thing
£5-10 for a tiny jar of the stuff
like it was Good Paint but still

[nsos]

i need to see that guy

UPDATE: SAW HIM

thankfully our table was full

[Thunder11]

Paint must be horrifically costly if it's the most expensive part, after what I've heard about the prices for models

I own his last Autobiography "Last Words". One of my most favourite books. The last chapter is very bittersweet as he had plans to do a broadway play that was different than a lot of what he'd done before, but obviously his heart gave out so he never did it. A life full of great loves, great success, great pain, and a lot of fucking drugs.

[Timbrewolf]

I drank too much last night and Ive been nursing s hangover all day. Fucking sucks.

[Wyzack]

Work hangovers are the worst. One time when i was still working in a car parts factory i got real real fucked up on a sunday night because it was my GF's birthday. Got like 3-4 hours of sleep, got to work the next day, was still drunk. I regard it as one of the worst days of my life. The hangover slowly crept in over the course of the day, and i was working hard the whole time. Jesus it was awful. Since then i have never made that mistake to that degree, although i do occasionally push it and have a mild to moderate hangover. Now that i work in a lab though it is not nearly as bad

[Malkevin]

Try going to work when you have full blown alcohol poisoning.

Not my proudest moment, pretty sure its fucked my gag reflex and several internal organs.

[Remie Richards]

Take my mum to the dentist, things don't go well, she goes to work I go home, get to bed for about 12 (midday) (cos I've not slept the previous day).
Wake at 7PM, I can work with this, watch things I want to watch and talk to people I want to talk to.
I'll just close my eyes for 2 seconds.
1:40AM...

*sigh*

[Super Aggro Crag]

Damn son, I'm dying.

[Timbrewolf]

The worst I ever experienced was showing up to work with a pretty fierce hangover, and a Gatorade.

I started to bounce back but then started to crash hard. So I kept chugging the Gatorade. Man I just gotta hydrate. Gotta get those vitamins. Electrolytes are the shit plants crave, right?

Turns out the Gatorade WAS FROM 1996 and had just been in my pantry for that long and I didn't notice. I was fucking poisoning myself ontop of having a hangover and it was awful as you can imagine. Ended up going home after vomiting pretty heavily multiple times, then drank water and spent the next like 18 hours straight curled up in bed trying not to die.

[Super Aggro Crag]

I've had a hangover. Once. I stopped having them, though.

[XSI]

I've never had one yet

I plan to keep it that way
