Should i start doing drugs?
seriously... im wondering if i should start taking drugs to change my mood and personality.
an article that is to the point:
http://www.elle.com/Beauty/Health-Fitness/Club-Med
Sometimes I think there are two kinds of people: the ones who are generally happy and upbeat…and then the rest of us, the ones who, when asked how we’re doing, say “eh” and wiggle our flattened hand in front of our face, hoping to be asked to elaborate. Most of my life I’ve been the latter breed, and that’s also whom I’ve been drawn to: interesting, tormented thinkers and analyzers.

Alcohol.
Nightly.
Honey, I don't know. I'm back on an anti-depressant for fibromyalgia and panic attacks (autonomic hysteria essentially). A nice side effect is sleep (oh wondrous sleep). A not so nice side effect is weight gain (fuck it I'm fat so fucking WHAT). I feel my moods have evened out. I've managed to attract someone really nice. And that's probably affected my mood as well. How would mood altering drugs affect you Mr. Doesn't Take an Aspirin? I know not being able to turn your brain off is aggravating (my g/f has the same problem and sleeps little and calls me at 6:45 am on my day off), but what's the alternative??? Would you turn into a robot?

Re: Should i start doing drugs?
i dont KNOW what the effects would be... i have so many conflicting ideas about the whole thing tumbling in my head about it.
should i even TRY the stuff? if its not a necessary 'medicine', why should i take it? Is being 'happy' legitimate if its only because you're 'high'?
remind me of a quote:
"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no different than a drunk being happier than one who is sober"

No Moloth, you shouldn't. There is no permanent "happy pill". It might feel good for a bit, it might scare you or... you might just act stupid. Eventually you'll come down and all of the same shit will still be there. Same as with drinking.. lol.

While there are drugs that put you in a somnambulistic state, most don't. The drug I take is very old tried and true. It takes away the manic highs and lows giving me a nice idle. It also alleviated the panic attacks...thank fucking gawdamighty. There's nothing like waking up at 3:00 am (my witching hour) drenched in sweat, nauseated with dread.
It also gave meh great huge TITS. ...ummm that might make me love you more Scott

Hmm.....i wish it would do something for that face of yours...but then again, i'd be too busy staring at your boobs than to look at THAT monstrosity.
on another note.
Drugs (illegal) not good. Will fuck up your life.
Alcohol can be good in moderation. Do it socially. Have a margarita at your next Mexican outing. Or a martini at Applebee's. OH OH...Plum wine at Thai Pepper, bitch!
Drugs (medicine) good if you think your willpower isn't good enough to fix your feelings (i.e. panic attacks, depression, feelings of worthlessness)
But if your willpower is good, then just write your thoughts down, come back a year later and see how your outlook has changed since then. Also write a story about a character that feels the same but deals with extraordinary circumstances. (if you don't like the stories, tear them up, no one has to know)
OH good one: HANG OUT WITH MORE PEOPLE.
especially people who yell at you.
really.
It makes you feel alive.
seriously.
no joke...
I read it on Hawking's blog. Turns out not only does he like being powerless to move, but he enjoys a good S&M verbal lashing. O.o
