I am hungover and still depressed, but in better shape than last night...

[Thegonagle]

You said today (or yesterday) that you were feelin? fine. You need to see a psychiatrist. It sounds like bi-polar manic-depression. Some good anti-deps should help. I know a few people who are helped by a little meds, including my own sister.

I sometimes wonder about myself, if some drugs would help me too. My step-father used to be really mean to me and my sister and call us worthless and all that sh!t. Little kids can be fvcked up pretty easily.

I?m not in the half here that posts bullsh!t to pacify.

Go see someone. We?re concerned.

<< Alcohol never solved anything. And a drunk only listens to another drunk.

Get off the pity pot and be responsinble for yourself. If you need help getting off alcohol,The first part of every phone book has an AA number. Use it.

You have problems with women? How attractive do you think you are if your drunk? How attractive are drunk women? Not very attractive,are they?

When you are sober,you can deal with life much better. Don't put your life in a bottle. >>


You treat me like I'm a fvcking alcoholic... I'll be the first to let you know that drinking once every 2 weeks (and getting a bit hammered like I did tonite) is by no means an alcoholic. I never look for answers in the bottle, and being raised in a household with an alcoholic father I know better than to drown my sorrows in a drink. I went out to have a good time tonite at a friend's place, and did for a while, until my mind went to war with itself and everything came crashing down on me again.

This isn't a pity pot. I guess people don't understand the difference between whining and a serious mental illness. It's OK, I don't expect them to.

 

[Urinal Mint]

ha, on a related note (this really doesn't affect my feelings any, and I find it rather humorous)... but since I posted this message 3 people have rated me and my rating has dropped from 4.10 to 3.80. Just goes to show how people feel about those of us who are screwed up in the head a little bit. Back to the old days of lobotomies and shock treatment I guess.

 

[Linux23]

whoever says that alchohol doesn't solve problem, are fvcking liars.

Alcohol is a drug, chemically it's a depressant. That means it artificially makes you sad.

As for girls, well I know nothing about them, ever since college hit, it's like all the girls disappeared, hahaha. It's what I get for going to Berkeley, and then being an engineering student. :disgust::disgust::disgust::disgust::disgust:

 

[Urinal Mint]

Yeah, they tell you that chicks dig engineers... then you get out in the real fvcking world and you find out that it's all a lie. They just want to date some i love you doctor with a Benz S500 and long stringy hair. what a crock of sh1t society is.

 

[EvanFerguson]

um, society will never be more than you let it be


if you seriously think every single woman wants to be with the doctor then you're mistaken

 

[Tripleshot]

Fvck you and your self diagnosis. If you have a mental problem,get it taken care of. This isn't the place to get help. If you have a problem with alcohol,go to AA.They are the recognized profeesionals in that field.

When a doctor says you have a mental problem and need meds,then we won't be having this discussion. You would be medicated and be stable. Thats what mental health proffessionals do for a living.Help people. This is a forum full of kids and techies that have little to do with your problem,and I haven't heard a doctor speak up yet.

I think your full sh1t and are looking for attention.That's a character flaw. If you don't like me telling you so, close this thread and go sleep off your drunk.

I've heard your pity potty story so many times ,I can recite it chapter and verse. I am an alcoholic. You want to drink,that's your businss. You want to quit,thats MY business.

Lifes a bitch buddy. No one owes you a damn thing. You earn what you get. Time to pay the piper.

Dude, I don't, I'm just making a rash generalization. It just seems that way sometimes.

life is very depressing but life is so short compared to everlasting life with Jesus.

 

[snakesnfrogs]

UM----you're trying too hard to &quot;get the girl&quot; so to speak. The harder you try, the less likely anything will happen. Lighten up on yourself and don't make &quot;getting a girl&quot; a goal. It will just happen, and you'll know it when it does. Trust me on that. I've got a beautiful wife and two lovely daughters as proof.

 

[JohnnyKnoxville]

Oh no not another one.
Hey what kind of computer you got?

<< Yeah, they tell you that chicks dig engineers... then you get out in the real fvcking world and you find out that it's all a lie. >>



I've never heard that one before. But whatever, I swear that there must be an anti-chick field generator sitting somewhere in the engineering building. One time I sat next to a hairy, oily ass set of legs and I was like ick, cover those. Then I realized that they were attached to a chick! :Q:Q:Q



<< They just want to date some i love you doctor with a Benz S500 and long stringy hair. what a crock of sh1t society is. >>



LOL, something like that. I have a friend who has a Benz and all day he brags about how much pussy he gets, hahaha. It's ok, doctors don't make that much money anymore. Plus all their time is sucked away.

In HS, I was seeing a girl for a while who's dad was a doc. Man she'd bitch all day about how her dad wasn't around and how it's sh!tty job. When I told her I was going do premed, she was like, &quot;DAMMIT, I keep telling you, doctors don't make any money, get that stupid idea out of your head! Why don't you listen!&quot;

hahahaha, yeah it's a f*cked up world out there.

ROFLMAO----thanks for the iced tea on my monitor

 

[UNCjigga]

Sounds like your blind date didn't go so well Mr. Mint...I'm sorry bout that. Keep tryin though...6 billion humans, more than half of which are female, and at least 20% of those are in your age group! Thatsa lotta women! I used to feel the same way until I met my dream girl (she lives over 2000 miles away, but goes to a school that's only a 4 hour drive!)

Man, I wish professional help was more like Doctor Melfie on the Sopranos! She's just the greatest! And I think she's damn cute too!

I appreciate what you're trying to do here, seriously. I know I need help, but I'm having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that I need to turn some control over to a professional instead of being bullheaded and thinking I can handle it on my own.

If I was looking for some goddamned attention, though, I can find a much better place than a techie forum to do so. I have friends that will listen to me, and they do. I talk to them, and I get their opinion. The reason why I post in here is that I want to get some opinions from people other than those in my life and see if they experience the same pain I'm going through right now. Yeah, I'll sleep off my drunk, but tomorrow I will still feel the same mental anguish that I felt all day today, and in a lot of days prior to this one.

You don't even know me and you're calling me a drunk... that's about the most unfair judgment I've seen on this forum.

I know life is a bitch... I've dealth with it for a while. I can deal with life... what I can't deal with is this mess in my head that's making me hate myself even though I have a hell of a lot going for me. I don't expect anything from anyone. I never got anything from anyone without earning it beforehand.

I shouldn't even be explaining myself to you... you'll just come back and point the finger at me and call me an alcoholic. My father is an alcoholic, and my grandfather was before him, but that doesn't mean I am. And I really don't appreciate you labeling me as one without even seeing me.

It never hurt anyone, hahahahaha. My uncle is a doc and he has some stories about his female patients hitting on him even though he's like 60 :Q:Q:Q:Q







<< you're trying too hard to &quot;get the girl&quot; so to speak. >>



Yeah that's so true, no doubt you guys have read my posts about that blonde girl I like. But the thing is, when I see her, sometimes I talk to her, sometimes not. I mean I just don't feel like engaging in small talk everytime I see her. It leaves her hanging and she'll even stop talking to her BF to talk to me when I do go up to her :Q:Q It's hella funny because regardless of who she's around, she'll drop their attention and talk to me. Makes me want to steal her, doesn't seem that hard, but I don't have that bastardly gall in me

 

[gunf1ghter]

Man, you just gotta try to get a grip. Believe me, I know exactly where you are right now.

I don't want to bore you with the details (you can PM me) but let's just say that I didn't find the right lady till I was 27 years old. I went through many periods where I was extremely depressed. Don't worry, you'll find someone.

 

[Tripleshot]

It's heriditary buddy.Deal with it. I did. I've been clean and sober for 15 years now.Dads 68 and still an alchy,but he will deny it too. You sound like someone heading for the bottom. You would be bullsh1tting people at the bar instead of in here if you had control over your alcohol.

I would lay odds those demons in your head will split when you decide to get rid of them sober. And heres a clue. You can be an acoholic just as easy by drinking every other week as if you drank 24/7. Your stereotype of an alcoholic doesn't mean squat son. You are wrong. Alcoholics come in all sizes shapes and forms.They come from every background imaginable,and they inhabit every corner of the earth,and have been around since the dawn of man.

Mental illness can be drug induced.Alcohol is a drug. If you think you have a mental problem,you do. No argument. But even a mental health counciler will tell you what I'm telling you now.

Stay away from alcohol. You can't handle it. It's handling you.

You will not get help for depression if you are still actively drinking.the combination of mood drugs and alcohol can be deadly.

I have lost too many friends to alcohol. I don't want you numbered amongst them.

Now get some sleep.

 

[Urinal Mint]

Thanks everyone for your words and advice... I really do appreciate it. It means a lot to me that people take time to at least try to make me feel a little better about all of this.

I'm going to bed now... we'll see how I feel in the morning. Ah, only 4 short hours until I have to get up and ready for work... should be an interesting day tomorrow.

Regards,
Josh

Damn, I feel like I'm reading an episode of Dawsons Creek.

Du du dooo du. Du du dooo du du. I don't wanna wait til our lives are over I want to know right now what will it be... du doo du doo.

Just think to yourself, &quot;What would Dawson Do?&quot;

 

[EvanFerguson]

hey, i'm a dorky cs major and i get enough chances with ladies......


i'm sure if i can get some sort of chance then anyone in any profession can


of course, seeing a lot of different people in 1 day increases the odds I'm sure, that's just statistics though


docotrs = hard life, my mom's an rn........that's bad enough :disgust:

 

[jeweleeann]

The problem with depression is when a person is in the depths of depression they are not rational. They cannot see beyond the huge problems they have or they think that they have. The only thing that can and will help is professional help and possibly medication. It is not a shame to be depressed but it is a shame not to get help.

Best of luck to you.

 

[montanafan]

You can't intellectualize about life. It'll drive you crazy. Don't think about how your life SHOULD be, there's no such thing. It's just not that simple. Life HAPPENS. Don't try to analyze it, and most of all, don't try to blame yourself for things that are beyond your control. I'm not trying to be flippant about all this. One of the hardest but most important things a person can do to be happy is to know when to just accept that fact and not beat themselves up about it.

It's like when you break up with someone. You play everything over and over again in your head and you think, if I'd only done this or I'd only done that, or you think, I did everything right, this shouldn't be happening, this is the way it should be, and then why, why, why? You can't control other people's feelings, you can't make someone love you, it just happens when it happens.

Just give it time and don't expect it; the best things in life happen when you don't.
