Two chicks at once, and you'll feel like you're king of the world.

I will be more than glad to argue with you on just about any subject, but this is not the place.
Keep your juvenile thoughts to yourself or start another thread.
Some of us are trying to support and do what we can to help Fub out on this.
You see, some of us have and are dealing with some of the same things as Fub and have a few ideas that actualy work...............That and we sorta like the kid.

LOL your the one giving medical advice without the licence.

This is an important subject and giving stupid advice is not helping anyone.

So if ya wanna start a flame thread do it somewhere else as Im sure fubar would appreciate it.

And for your info I too have this condition as in Bi-polor post traumatic stress and deslexia.

And I know that without my DR's help and medication I would in far worste shape than I am now.

If you live in or near a large metropolitan area, get away from it for awhile.

Take a two or three day trip in search of solitude.

Go camping.  A large, fabulously renowned park isn't necessary.  Brew a cup of coffee and watch the sun go down...or come up.  Contemplate the pristine serenity of the stars.  

Build a fire and allow yourself the time to enjoy the exquisite rapture of the flames.

Take one and only one close friend, or your spouse.  Talk only about unimportant things.

Im going to stop there.

They said it, exercize. Tough to give a crap enough to get started, but it's the single most importnat thing you can do. Stay on the meds while getting fit... try not to self medicate with Booze. If you get too good at that it'll cause "difficulties" in your life. Go post somewhere with females or join a matchmaking thing. Chicks dig troubled, dangerous types.

  My advise: Deal with it! Do like I do..take the pain and depression and don`t let it whoop you. You are your own defense system. If you feel yourself getting down.....give yourself a good biatch slap and pull yourself up by the bootstraps. Don`t allow yourself to be beaten by anything. Grit your teeth, pull yourself up and go full damn speed ahead.
  Sometimes you have to take responsibility for how you feel and how easily you either get whipped or overcome something.
 Pick it up, shake it off and take control of it.

I'm not upset about this advice... it's just wrong and will not work.
Exercize, and a temporary boost of better living though chemicals worked out with a real MD who specializes in that sort of thing

Hot Rods... you need to build a Hot Rod.

   Strange it did work.
as Laz said, a hot rod would be a great idea, especialy for someone at Fubs age, or even better yet build ya up a Harley.

Fubar, motivation is the single hardest thing to get a handle on. What works for me is just getting started at something and refusing to give up on it until it's finished, regardless of how much enthusiasm I have for it. It's hard as hell to do some days but it does get easier. Hard physical exercise will help take the edge off when you need it. Talking to someone who's a straight-shooter and outside the situation will give you some perspective when you need it. A good MD is invaluable, just remember there is no such thing as better living through pharmaceuticals. Digging your heals in and insisting on personally pwning the beast is the start line.
This stuck works for me - I hope it's of some use to you.

Cheers,

Fubie, as you know I just went on disabilty from the State due to Bi-polor disorder.  It's a constant struggle.  Being around friends helps.  Helping someone else is a good thing too, like taking an older person to a Doctor's appointment or even just taking them shoping.  Talking about it is a good thing too.  If you need someone to talk to I'm always here.

Its all helping guys, still have some of those days where its alot harder than others. But I got a subscription to the new 24 hr fitness near me. Started back up on guitar, Cutting pc time little by little.

Please keep the good advice flowing.

I used to have the same probs fooby, all of mine stemmed from my brain not being able to slow down. I'm constantly thinking about something .  I had always been the big shot football player in high school, goint to all the paries and evrything went to college at UT and played ball there until I tore up my knee my junior year. It basically ended my college sports career and I almost let it destroy my life. After that happened I stopped going to class, quit talking to friends, basically just gave up. The only thing I could think about was, now I have no friends, can't do the only thing I luv anymore, will never get another girl because i'm not playing ball anymore, you name it I thought it. I didn't wanna eat, get outta bed or anything, just lay around my dark room and pop every kind of pain killer I could get my hands on. I used to just chew up handfulls of vicodins and codienes, basically anything bad for me I did. I don't know how I did it but I ended up graduating with a degree in business management, but to me it was useless, the 1 thing I wanted to do was over... When I got outta school working and everybody at work said I needed to see a doc. Went and saw 1 and all he said he could do was medicate me, which is not what I wanted. By this time I had 3 girlfriends break up and leave me lol one cheated on me with my best friend lol one just used me for money and the other gave me the friend speech lol, so I was feeling really really low at this point in my life... The only thing I had going good for me was my job that was it. I knew i was getting really bad and running out of time quick, I just knew there was no way I could keep living like that. So I took every single negative thing in my life and got rid of it, tried not to think about it. I engulfed myself at work making myself just as busy as I could, found me an awesome online game to play in my off time, built a 68 camero on weekends... just basically did everything I could to stay as busy as I could and not think about stuff. Basically quit drinking, and I haven't had any kind of pill stronger than a tylenol lol. It took about 2 months of this routine for me to get outta my rut, but it worked and now that I'm better I just can't understand how I got so messed up. Nowadays if a chick breaks up with me I don't even sweat it at all. I think I like being single better anyways, get to do what I want when I want.  At night I still have problems goin to sleep but thats because i'm thinking about a show I just watched on discovery channel, or thinking about how I let some newb shoot me down in the MA lol. Another thing I did was I turned into a real bad Ahole lol, I figured I didn't really need to be hanging out with the ppl I had been so I got rid of all them, and I quit wondering what other people thought, most other people are too stupid to be assosiated with me anyways lol... I think allot of times when we are depressed or low its because we let our brains lie to us and tell us stuff that isn't true, and we think everybody else in the world is fine and we're messed up. The fact is, everybody has problems, good at some things bad at others. Do what I did, just say F everybody else and start worrying about yourself and quit trying to please others. Find something you like to do and keep busy, really really busy. Become a workaholic if you must. As long as your busy working you won't have the time to be depressed. I'm serious, try not and have any spare time, if you don't work weekends find something to do all day on saturday and sunday too. I keep myself so busy nowadays I maybe get 4 hours of sleep a night if I'm lucky. If I can do it I know you can bud. Lastly don't sweat the small stuff bro, there will be plenty of chicks, especially once you get older and make a lil money, they come a dime a dozen I promise you, especially if your going to be working for the fire dept. I have known allot of girls that have had things for firemen, i would bet the farm that firemen get more tail then any other proffession in the world. Once your older you'll start trying to figure out ways to get the chicks to leave you alone so you can play AH2 lol. And friends blah who need em, all friends end up doing is pissing you off in one way or another... The best friends in the world are hot chicks, go to a club make friends with a hot girl, not one you actually wanna hook up with but one that you can talk to, after a week or two she will start hookin you up with her friends, thats one thing chicks love doing, hookin up there friends.
