Nice, Doodle. I'm imagining a 'Carrie' prom.
Congrats!
People are busy either committing human sacrifices or being the human sacrifices, that would be my guess.
Easter: The time where Christians try to cover up the defeat of their imaginary 'saviour' in a humiliating crucifixion in which said "saviour" is said to have screamed at his God who he said was his father for forsaking him to death by torture by celebrating the deranged fairy story of their 'saviour' rising from the dead as a Zombie and vanishing just as quickly when his body, if he ever existed, was probably stolen by grave robbers to sell to cannibals for the use of bone soup.
Also, welcome newcomers.
It's just a random week off of school. It's odd that everyone left at literally the same time though, it's extremely variable between school districts.
If Spring break even has something to do with it, of course.
I see, Sometimes I am so happy that I live in an unitary state.
Luckily Easter is over now. *cheers*
I'll take America with its flaws over Europe any day. I'm not a fan of my government controlling things it has no business controlling.
Take my word for it, it is pretty capitalist over here as well just not as capitalist as America, we have just a little more welfare. The government isn't really controlling things that's just silly. We're not socialist, we're just capitalist with a welfare system. We're already pretty Americanized. I am not saying I personally support government or socialism or any of that stuff. But I am just trying to explain Europe to you.
I grew up here and I've never left Europe. I agree that the EU is too big and powerful for it's own good, it should be just an economic organisation. But Europe is not statist or socialist. It's ''welfare capitalist'' or liberal. Like I would call it.
For the majority of Europe, I agree. That's honestly a perfect label(Especially the U.K., without socialized medicine, they're basically the U.S.,)
The parts of Europe I'm not a fan of are the nordic countries. Sweden, Denmark and Norway can all go burn to ashes for all I care. Their practices are completely socialist, and would seem to stifle any sort of societal progress. There's absolutely no incentive to improve, and with their new attempts at the 20 hour work week, I'm basically just waiting for their economy to collapse like the rest of the E.U.
Sometimes it just helps to realize that life is hard and then you die. Stop trying so hard to make it easy for everyone and just do everything in your power to advance things FOR YOUR family/friends. If something needs to be done locally, like taxes for healthcare or welfare, then do it locally as a community, where your word actually carries weight instead of a faceless government. I'm not a fan of the Gov't taking more than half of my income to feed people who are too lazy or incompetent to get by themselves. Let them die like they're supposed to. I worked 84 hour weeks at a factory to save up money to put myself through school to get the easy life I live now. If they're not willing or able to do that by themselves and always need "a little help", that's their problem.
Hmm, I agree actually. Survival of the fittest seem like the best method actually.
I have never had to really work for my survival. My parents are from the upper middle class. I had kind of a ''hard time'' though, I guess. But in another way, it is kind of more a acceptance story. Not believing in a god and being bisexual is something that gets me bullied in school. Christians. Idiots. That's what was getting me down and left me with a scar in the form of chronic depression.
Take a few self defense classes and look up Krav Maga. I've been an escort, worked factory jobs in the worst part of town, and confidence was just something I didn't have a problem with after learning how to truly defend myself. I'm also bisexual, but it was more acquired than natural(IE Escort) and worrying about getting taken advantage of was something that bothered my daily. After learning how to disable an attacker, I haven't felt insecure or not confident since.
Hmm, okay. I would need to convince my parents to take these classes though. I will probably always have confidence problems do to my undefeatable depression. It's not really a problem actually, I don't really feel pain anymore. My bisexuality is 100% natural I think. I don't worry about being taken advantage of because I think it's unlikely that will happen. I am not certain if I need a defense mechanism to be honest.
It's been my experience that when I feel depressed for longer than a few days, it's usually because I feel powerless to change the situation I'm in, but it could also be psychologically caused because of inactivity and low testosterone. You'd be amazed how many people are in the gym lifting weights simply for the endorphin rush and Hormonal boost it gives you. If I don't lift for a few days, my mood takes an absolute nosedive.
The sedentary lifestyles we live now are harmful for our bodies in every way from the muscles, ligaments, bones and mind.
But I'm going to stop preaching my anecdotal evidence. I'm no doctor.
Okay, I've never lifted before. I am pretty skinny. I am actually professionally diagnosed with chronic depression. Maybe it has to do with hormons, I do not know. But I can feel happy on rare occasions and I don't need exercise for that.
sorry yall, i was at the beach all week
What were you doing at the beach? Break? xD
Who the hell sacrifices on the beach, by the way?
Good point.
And my father was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 60 years old after having no prior personality issues the prior 58, only developing the paranoia and mood swings the prior two, which coincidentally was in the same time frame he retired and became sedentary. He put on 40 pounds of pure fat, and started having joint issues. They prescribed him an SSRI and called it a day. The drugs COMPLETELY changed him as a person, and he became basically a ghost. I started working out with him and as the body fat dropped and the muscle came back, he changed literally by the day. He's stopped using those pills and refuses to go back to that doctor now. I can't blame him. All the guy did was prescribe him pills which do CRAZY things to your body(Any drugs which alter chemicals in your brain such as dopamine or serotonin, is a going to alter your personality) and didn't even try to solve the core issues.
I have a feeling yours did the same. Diagnosed off of maybe an hour long session, prescribed an SSRI, and told him to come back for refills. This does nothing to solve the problems that caused the depression, and is just the doctor making money off of your problems. It's always wise to remember that doctors,like dentists, make money off of you doing a bad job of staying healthy, and are completely willing for it to stay that way so you keep coming in frequently. This is the one problem that capitalism isn't built to solve, and that's because the one telling you what's wrong, is also the one making money off of something being wrong. This is an obvious conflict of interest and I've met more than one person who's obviously abused it.
But seriously, just try exercising and sprinting for a week and see how you feel at the end of the week. It's better than doing the nothing you're already doing, and if you're fine doing nothing about it, then you'll always have problems with depression. That's how it wins.
I guess, but sometimes it just get better and sometimes it doesn't. Remember my depression is chronic. It cannot be solved. My medical professional did not give me medicine actually, no drug prescription at all. Still, I've been reasonable without working my entire life. So I'll just be reasonable the rest of my life too and I am completely fine with that. I know that medical professionals make many of your disorders but since this society makes money of pretty much everything, that is completely fine and normal. I don't feel a need to work out, there's nothing physically wrong with me too, you could say I am in a fine condition lately so there is not really anything to solve. I am not even asking for help actually because I know I will be fine, I was fine when I wanted to kill myself, I was fine when I threatened to kill myself, I was fine when I was crying about my life. I turned out fine after being beaten up. I am certain that I will be completely fine again without any help. One curious thing about you is that you're critical about both socialism and capitalism. What are your views then?
That's an incredibly defeatist point of view. And be aware, as I'm assuming you're under 18, that what you're describing sounds more like bipolar disorder rather than chronic depression. Chronic depression usually devolves into the person basically NEVER feeling enjoyment. While bipolar involves weeks of feeling good/alright followed by a week of depression, or vice versa. Also be aware that bipolarism is almost always misdiagnosed as chronic depression, especially in persons under 21 where a behavioral history in regards to things such as being able to hold onto a job, or breaking the law are unknown. My family is absolutely rife with persons prescribed with chronic depression, and what you're describing sounds nothing like what they go through. Although given the completely ambiguous field of psychology/psychiatry, what one calls tomato, the other calls carrot.
But as you're obviously becoming defensive, I guess I'm done talking about this. No matter how idiosyncratic it is to say you have a problem that caused you to almost kill yourself, and then in the same sentence blow it off. That's the type of arrogance that makes me just literally stop caring.
And as for my political leanings I'm entirely pro-capitalism, unless the industry is one where you're basically forced to have the service to live a regular life, in which case capitalism is obviously not the answer. The only industries that meet those specifications to me are electricity,water and healthcare, but mostly because I know most people would sell all if their earthly possessions just to live a few more weeks, which is an obviously bad situation financially for families.
I see it as realistic. I am convinced that I'm not bipolar, I don't have the mood swings and many other things that are related to the disorder. I can feel happy, some glimmers of it. But I usually ignore the sadness, I don't care about it anymore, I don't care about myself. I feel the same almost all the time, sorry if you understood me wrong but I never got really mood swings or other emotional things like feeling happy for one week feeling unhappy for another. Just a giant period of depression with little glimmers of happiness and joy. I am not misdiagnosed. The description of bipolarism doesn't fit me or my personality at all. It would make no sense at all if I was bipolar. Maybe I experience it differently from your family, I guess that could be.
You shouldn't care about me, it worked out for me in the end and it will work out again. And if it doesn't I die and that doesn't matter at all either. It doesn't matter when or how I die, it doesn't matter at all for me. I have no regard at all to my own life.
Hello, it is kind of well. But I have exams in a month.
same here.
