You need to stop assuming that girls do things out of some kind of "game". It's really, really offensive. Just because you have met some girls that might act that way, doesn't mean that all girls think it's fun to "toy" with a man's emotions.

I personally try not to do so. My problem is that I'm not good with my own emotions, let alone another person's.

Meh. I ate raw bacon as a child and never got sick. Chances are if you are feeling sick, the bacon may not have been in optimal condition, or it's a product of your imagination.

Nowadays I cook my bacon. Till it's crispy... mmm

Just a note -- if you suddenly drop the amount of calories you eat, the human body thinks you are starving yourself -- or in a famine -- and takes action. It holds on to bodyfat and stores more in case the famine goes on for a while, or happens again.

So if you're starving yourself as a way of trying to lose weight, the body has a defense mechanism to render that pretty useless -- you can wind up putting on MORE weight... and make yourself dizzy and cranky.

May as well be doing it for "no reason".

Better to try to substitute what you are already eating for different things. Subtitute white bread for grainy bread. Substitute a big steak for a little one with more veg.

People should look to exercise instead -- an adult (overweight or not) needs 30 minutes of exercise a day.

But yes, the idea that overweight people should be "starving themselves" really irks me. It's wrong -- it doesn't work -- and it causes MORE problems. Course, it's the first thing that they go and do, and then everyone encourages them...

I'm interested, but I'll reserve any judgement until it's all done, of course. I hope that it turns out good, but I'm not exactly all that hopeful....

I dunno, reminds me a bit of another series of mine I like that has recently started producing a lot of prequels and sequels and whatnot... And I was not overly impressed with Advent Children.

Pfft, walking the plank is for sissies. Peter Pan (or something) always manages to rescue people before it happens. Maybe they should be keelhauled instead.

Well, at the moment due to how badly my own finances are stuffed up, I'm not in a position to initiate legal action against him either. Because I'm precariously teetering on the brink of Bankruptcy, no lawyer will touch my case.

The reason being -- if I do become Bankrupt, then all money I've paid to people -- lawyer included -- is taken back by the Trustee of my Bankrupt Estate. No lawyer will work for free or at a high risk of it being for free.

The only way I can get a lawyer is if somebody else will pay for it -- not loan me the money -- but flat out pay for it. I got no-one that will do that for me.

At the moment he has no money anyway, so there's not much point, but I might not be in a position to sue for years; and I'm not sure it's emotionally healthy to take on the burden of all that anger for so long

This explains an awful lot of one o fthe reasons behind my latest seeming inability to function properly.

(namely, my diet went from "somewhat regular ramen noodles and sandwiches three meals a day" to "almost nothing but occasionally leftovers or the strawberry college smoothie")

Stick it out, I say. I eat one meal a day, plus maybe a spoonful of peanut butter after I wake up (I drink a lot of coffee and it cuts down on my appetite). I can't even eat three meals a day without feeling absolutely full.


Yeah, but your body's used to that. Other people's aren't, and suddenly changing does more harm than good.

To change your calorie intake effectively without having your body freak out on you, you need to do it fairly gradually.

So, that's why I mentioned substitution -- look at your diet, and look how much junk and processed stuff you eat -- and substitute that crap for good stuff. You'll probably drop the amount of calories you eat in doing so, but not so much it'll freak out your body, and not so badly you'll feel hungry -- and you give your body lots of vitamins and minerals and stuff that it wants too.

The problem with the relationship comment is... how was I to know?

When I met him, he was high up in a successful business. He lived in an expensive and fancy apartment, he drove a decent car, he was apparently respected within the local industry. He was attractive, good looking, apparently smart and sensitive. His only possible flaw for a long time was that he was prone to overworking.

I thought he was great, my family thought he was wonderful, my friends thought he was perhaps a little eccentric (but many in the IT industry can be) but great, everyone thought he was the bees-knees. Everyone I talked to about him had good things to say about the guy.

Turns out that he's an exceptionally good "actor". He can keep that bullshit up for YEARS. Then two years into it, the act drops and I start to find out that he's not all wonderful - but I still didn't think that it was this bad until three years later I find out that he did all this shit.

Now, just because I met one extremely good con-and-bullshit-artist, I can't trust anyone enough for a relationship with them. I've had a few people interested in me, but I can't trust them, because of this guy -- realistically are they all like him? Unlikely -- but because he was so good at being deceptive, how do I know that anybody else is good?? What if they're keeping up acts for years and years too???

No, it only happens once a year. It's just so irritating it sticks in your mind, annoying you enough that you think it happens more.

I hear you on the "Intriguing" thing -- Evangelion did cover all of the storyline very well. It stikes me as very complete as it is. It doesn't need a prequel. It doesn't seem like there's much of the story to tell that hasn't already been told...

It might be entertaining, and I'm kinda interested out of curiosity, but considering how complete the original series is.... I have to wonder where they're going to go with things...? What ground they have left to cover??

Posted on 09-19-06 12:18 AM, in Depression and Mental Illness Link
Blah, another topic I'm gonna have trouble putting into words for the initial post.... see how I go, shall we?

I suffer from Clinical Depression -- specifically Atypical Depression (despite it's name, it's the most common type). I have done so since 2002, although I had a period in 2004/2005 where the majority of it was not problematic.

I was first diagnosed with it in 2002 -- at the time, I was suicidal due to a number of factors, including a long-distance relationship, my parent's disapproval of this, an unfulfilling and nasty work environment (I was treated very poorly) and an ex-boyfriend who was stalking me, tailing me as I drove to work, turning up at my work and demanding to speak to me, entering my home uninvited on one occasion when my step-father had left the door open.

I was falling apart, so I spoke to the doctor and was diagnosed with Depression. I was prescribed an SSRI -- Sertraline (known as "Zoloft") -- and more or less left to my own devices.

Upon mentioning this to "friends", many of them chose to cut ties with me outright. Others attacked me over it and other factors. Some were particularly upset that I was medicated for the condition, and launched into quite scathing verbal attacks over it. Others insisted I just "get over it", and refused to talk to me till I did.

These outspoken and violent verbal attacks only acted to worsten the Depression; giving me a further sense of isolation and a feeling of having little/no support network. I was blamed for being "weak"; accused of taking an "easy way out" by taking medication for the problem, and it was suggested that perhaps I should kill myself as the "voices in my head" were already telling me to do.

Why is it that people do this to people who are Depressed? What is it that makes people so violently unkind to people with mental illness or on medication for such conditions?

What do you think about the whole issue of mental illnesses in general? The rate of Depression is apparently rising; but there's still a lack of awareness about the issue and many misconceptions about things. There's a lack of support for those affected too.

So uh.... yeah... thoughts?

Oh, I'm a lot better now -- albeit on a different medication (this one's an NARI -- Reboxetine / "Edronax") which seems to better target my atypical symptoms. I tend to cope with things better and I've long since accepted that this is something -- like everything in life -- that I must go through alone.

I'm not after support in this thread, I'm querying why people get so angry, vicious and nasty about the whole issue. And you bought up another thing I was accused of -- Attention Whoring. Apparently if you are unable to handle things in utter solitude, you are an "Emo" or an "Attention Whore". WTF is with that?
