Got Anything Random To Say

If I gave up smoking, I could get fit enough and have the time, money and motivation to learn to scuba dive.
I'm more than a bit of a gourmet, and looking at Lobsters in a shop the other day,
tiny little things and Thirty bucks each(!), I thought,
"If I went diving I could catch the local monsters for free!"

So, it's my addiction to nicotine versus my gluttony and greed!

I do admit that I can be a glutton, at times.

Turn Left Here

Thank you. I love you and everybody else, here.

I love you all!

Apparently biting oneself when frustrated is quite normal...



...in toddlers.


I think I may be 3 years old.

I wish I was immortal

Have you ever seen the series Code Geass, it might be fun at first, but doubtless it can be conciderd a curse. Or you could be like Garlic Jr and end up spending an eternity in nothingness.

It seems my main area of knowledge is only from games and anime, and a few tv shows. Well at least I have my gaining wisdom, winning personality, good sense of humour and I am very modest. Plus somehow as far as I know I am not yet crazy, well unless my OCD hits, and I attempt to fix the infinit amount flaws I see, and my body can not keep up with my mind.

Why is what normal people mostly interested in are boreing, I am not interested in ordinary human interests, but if any of you are aliens, time travelers, or ESPers, please come see me. That is all.

oh Garlic Jr. he screwed himself over so badly

I was more thinking like Highlander
or Rozen Maiden (Highlander with dolls)

I feel quite nice as, I will be having a nice evening and that I hope everyone else here on WP shall have have the same? Well, not much else to say unless to say, whom ever hires the drivers for the local transit systems needs to do a better job..

tektek DON'T DO WHAT I SAY I DO

DO WHAT I SAY I DON'T WANT TO DO !








"I don't want to get drunk every night!"
I mean that!

hi syzygyish, thanks for your concern but i am OK. please don't worry, and (most importantly) you could do no harm

i had 2 x 330mL bottles of what may well be Western Australia's finest pale ale, that is all - two is usually my limit (if any at all)... i am generally a bit of a lightweight, except when on the rare occasion i am drinking outside the safe confines of home (or similar), then i cannot seem to get drunk beyond tipsy - i think that it's a self preservation mechanism.

the back story behind my earlier post is that my GP had recommended i continue with new medication after trialling a selection over the course of the last 9 or 10 weeks, i am just a bit tired of taking medicine... drinking a little this evening was my protest.

Lexapro was not so great; side effects included impaired cognitive function, jaw clenching, shakes, nausea... i continued with Lexapro increasing my dose (as instructed) to a point where i had a bit of a melt down and was hospitalised. in saying this, no benefit was noted and i am now off Lexapro entirely - i weaned myself off it at twice the rate over half the recommended time-frame. Lexapro was not a pleasant experience and i would go so far as to say that it contributed to a worse state of mind for me.

Seroquel was prescribed (off label for anxiety) while i was taking Lexapro; side effects included impaired cognitive function, it knocked me out and made me crave sugary/salty food when i was awake, i was unable to get up at 0500-0530 to go cycling, i was unable to drive, unexpected sounds or objects in my periphery would startle my brain (for want of a better phrase). no benefit was noted and my Psychiatrist agreed with my decision to stop taking it.

Temazepam was prescribed to help me achieve normal sleep. i typically go to bed between 2300 and 0000 to 0030, sleep through to around 0300 to 0330, have broken/restless sleep until 0500 to 0530 when i start my day... this has been a pattern for a very very long time. my Psychiatrist does not think that this is healthy and advises that poor sleep contributes to heightened anxiety and, ultimately, depressed or low mood (no surprises). The Temazepam had nil effect (seriously), my sleep pattern did not improve so i stopped taking it with my Psychiatrist's consent.

while weaning myself off Lexapro i was instructed to begin taking Avanza. i discovered that knocks me out and has other similar side effects as Seroquel.... i stopped taking it as i could not bear being incapacitated as i was. i would rather be miserable or anxious than dulled by medication with not so nice long and short term side effects that may or may not work. my Psychiatrist, being on holidays, was unavailable and my GP recommended that i persevere with Avanza at a half dose (splitting the 30mg tablets). i do not want to do this.

i have been conscious of my being depressed and suffering anxiety for the better part of 16 years, up until 18 months ago i kept it to myself, up until 9 or 10 weeks ago i had managed through many not so nice times with no medication and no medical intervention. while i may think about calling it a day on a regular basis i am still here as sure as the words appear on the screen as i type.

i first sought professional help 18 months ago and was referred to a Psychologist by my GP; i had two appointments and abandoned the process as i felt that the Psychologist (and even by their own admission) was ill equipped to assist me. i returned to my GP 3 months ago and i was referred to a Psychiatrist. i really just want and need to get some direction from an objective and professional practitioner, i do not want medicine - i would like my questions answered and i would like some tools to help me to help myself...

i would like to be able to speak my mind without well meaning medical professionals medicating me and reacting in a way that suggests that i am indeed more messed up than i thought i was... it does not instil me with a feeling of confidence in my sense of self awareness.

*****
all who read this, please note that this is my individual experience with these medications, i am no Doctor and i make no recommendation for any other person and make no suggestion that what i describe is a typical response to said prescribed drugs.

I'm simply trying to keep warm this morning as it's very cold and all as well, hoping everyone has a nice Christmas and nice New Year too..

Hutz: Now don't you worry, Mrs. Simpson, I - uh-oh. We've drawn Judge Snyder.

Marge: Is that bad?

Hutz: Well, he's kind of had it in for me, since I accidently ran over his dog. Actually, replace `accidently' with `repeatedly', and replace `dog' with `son'.
