They actually have the opposite effect on me when I've taken them, as they calm the anxiety and such that has tended to impact my impulse control.

I can say that in my experience that has a good potential to improve. I couldn't count the number of nights in my life that I have gone to bed and sincerely hoped I wouldn't wake up in the morning.

Now I just hate mornings, but am happy that I didn't die in my sleep. :downs:

It would be quite the change where I wouldn't accept death as like a, "eh, sure, I'm ready, whatever". Maybe 6 months from now I might feel different but the odds are low considering my past.

Another day though of no booze and no weed either. 2 days of zero mind altering substances. Well, besides the WICKED HIGH OF LIFE!!! :c00l:

Just speaking for myself, I find it is entirely possible to live a decent life while still having an odd relationship with my own mortality. You know that cold thrill of adrenaline you get when you have a near miss at freeway speeds? When you're almost hit by a car as a pedestrian? Yeah, I don't get that. I first realized I had lost that reaction around 2005 or so, and now mostly note it with academic interest. I had surgery recently and I was mostly concerned about whether I would be conscious while intubated - the idea I could just plain die under general anesthetic merited a "meh, whatever" response from me. It's not that I still feel some urge to rush toward the sweet embrace of death, and more that I've come to better terms with myself. Getting a healthier relationship with yourself doesn't necessarily mean you have to be Stepford-levels of happy all the time.

I don't think it's really a choice.

You can choose to drink and do drugs to help with the existential realization that you literally don't matter in the grand scheme of things at the age of about 13! :eng101:

Well I'm waking up in the AM again. That's kind of nice. I get to see the sun. A while back a doctor said I have a circadian rhythm disorder and I basically have a 26 hour day. Every so often (very often) my schedule gets hosed up to the point where I wake up at night and go to sleep at like, 10am. I'm guessing the alcohol exacerbated that.

I was going to go snowshoeing yesterday at whatever local park that has hiking trails.... but I didn't. It's cold. Today I can't because I have to drive to the place where that piece of poo poo Paul Ryan lives or is from or burrows or whatever that hell that reptilian nazi does there.

I got off track. I'm going there for storm spotter training for Team Rubicon. This is the thing that sucks with a broken brain. Ever since I was a child I wanted to get into meteorology or something related. Here I have a training opportunity that I've always wanted to do..... and I don't want to go now. I'll drive the hour to go there, but there is nothing firing off upstairs. Seems like a laborious chore to do something I used to be fascinated with. I'm still going. I'll probably really enjoy it too.

Had I been drinking I probably would have woken up and decided not to go, get angry at myself, get even more depressed, then drink...

yay :downsgun:

Yeah dude, in the Subway thread I was going to call you a disgusting fat rear end for your "numberoneposter BMT + CCC + Double Cheese Subway Eat Fresh Sandwich ™", but then someone said you ride like 40 miles a day or something awesome that justified that... thing. That certainly has to help. And I doubt boozin' makes the ride easier.

I'm a storm spotter now.

I'm also unreasonably furious at everything for no reason. Well, it didn't help trying to listen to any talk radio in the greater Chicago area on my 1.5 hour drive that was only talking about Trump. Both ways. Now I want to kill. The training actually put a nice lull into the kill thing and I was super excited and social and funny and energetic (probably too much but everyone seemed to enjoy it), and then I left and immediately went back to my wanting to kill phase.

These rapid rollercoaster emotions are basically expected now due to the the whole loving bipolar bullshit. I saw my therapist today and she just said to watch out for any odd thoughts or signs that might lead to mania and to not kill myself or others. To be fair I think she has to ask everyone about murder, etc. though.

I'm on day 17 besides the slip which I'm not counting because gently caress it I don't want to. I can make up any number I want. Who gives a poo poo? Well I do but one slip doesn't mean I hosed up so bad and everything is over and boo hoo hoo I have to start over. No, gently caress you. I'm sticking with my streak.

Other than that everything is cool. I should play a game. Like a truck simulator or something.

I doubled my dose today because everything was insane. I wonder how things would have worked out had I not done so.

I don't know how to stream games. To be honest, I really don't want to either. Enough people can see me fail in real life.

Thank you though 500 good dogs. You are very nice and helpful.

edit: also you probably wouldn't be too excited watching me trying to back up semi trailer for 15 minutes each time.
