Thoughts Post your little thoughts.

@SweetLesGirl You're always positive, and I am certain that's a choice you make daily. Carpe demboobz.

@Phantasym It's an anonymous site (as long as you're careful). Use it as a place to offload. It's therapeutic and free. It beats paying a shrink $500 an hour. Everyone has their own baggage. People who think they don't... well, that's their issue, lol

@OnyxStorm I get what you're saying about having your own set of concerns. We have to be aware of the fine line between educating and imposing, as we both know.

@PoliteandNaughty Honestly, all people deal with that to various degrees (maybe the least so The Dalai Lama and folks like him but we'll exclude those outliers). Gratitude is one of the most powerful antidotes.

@Slopps I already knew that. Like attracts like. You just admitted you're a weirdo yourself...

Indeed it is it takes discipline somedays is easy some easier and some difficult but always possible many just see the smiles and things but very few see the work going into it to see the bright side. And then there is you and some others who makes me realize its all worth it ❤
 
I thought about whether to post this or not. Then I remembered this is an anonymous site and who cares about what a bunch of strangers think about you.

I've had bipolar depression since my teenage years. At first you have no idea what's happening for a few years. No one talks about it and you do your best to hide it, since it's evident to you that it's not normal range behavior. After I self-diagnosed, I was determined to conquer this all on my own. I failed so many times. I drowned so many times, dropped to rock bottom depressive episodes. But I resolved each and every time I wasn't going to lose. Each and every time I picked myself up, analyzed the situation, and how to change it. I lost over and over and over hundreds of times, no exaggeration. How I got to where I am, sometimes amazes me, given the ups and downs I lived through. There were much less days of being within that 'normal behavior' range than not. When you lose so many years of your life, you have to finally admit defeat, admit that in some situations you cannot effectively and permanently restore your neurochemicals to an equilibrium. I gave in and went for meds, which I had fought against stubbornly for years and years, believing that will and determination by themselves were enough. The change was practically immediate.

Throughout it all though, I lived by the belief that you don't dump onto other people's lives. I still believe that. You smile and normalize as best as you can. If you're not doing something to better someone's life every day, you're not living. It doesnt matter if it's something small as making someone laugh, or something big and helping them find their purpose.

I don't care for anyone's pity and this isn't why I wrote this. What my point is, is that next time you feel like whining, whinging, bitching, think twice or even thrice. Choose the opposite words, the opposite actions. I choose to laugh and make people laugh. Choose positive friends. I choose happy people. It doesn't mean they are perfect, don't suffer or don't have bad days. But you uplift each other, without even knowing you are. Choose a drama-free life; some people thrive on drama. Cut negativity out of your life. Find out what triggers you and what grounds you. Be your own best friend through and through.

My theory is that everyone has some degree and some kind of psychological issue. Look at people here. It's not that hard to point out who's what. It's inevitable as a 'human being'. You 'be' your thoughts, your experiences, your past, your dreams, your fears, your cells, youe beliefs, your hormones, your choices, your circumstances. The difference is to exact your will and to choose to win. The difference is to not leave a wake of shit behind you.

If you just can't win against yourself, get professional help. There is no shame to it. You'll save yourself so much turmoil and you'll save people around you.

P.S. Yeah, I'll write however much I want.
Suck it :D


These words are wisdom, and true... Coming from someone who already lived a 100 lives.

There is a difference . You can also speak your mind and people will assume something is wrong or your blah blah blah . I mean it's not that simple lol . Self diagnosing isnt the safest bet . I mean people already believe anything they read on the internet without properly informing themselves . The difference is people who own up to their shit and dont sit up on a pedestal assuming they can diagnose anyone else . I mean but then again people spend years in a place like this and make it their life because idk they cant deal with reality apparently

This this this!!!
 
Here I sit, broken hearted,
I came to shit, and only farted,

The echo filled the empty stall,
I hear a chuckle behind the wall,

I am not alone, oh seriously no!
Anyone care to continue my tale of woe.. ?

To what extent can you forge friendships through alcohol socials? To what extent do you see the real them when drink is involved? Would they be the same and show the same level of interest if drink wasn't involved? What am I doing wrong and what avenue should I be making use of?

IMHO that’s probably not the best venue to establish meaningful friendships, though your mileage may vary. Maybe look to engage in social groups revolving around some activity or hobby you are interested in. That’s a good way to meet like-minded people with whom you’re more likely to develop a friendship.
