Doubtless when the film comes out some people are going to be watching it frame by frame to see if any sneak through unnoticed.
Quote from: Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan on August 25, 2026, 10:53:44 PMBut it is definitely not a lost cause. Create a companion for yourself. And you can make it through the day. Just not drugs! Yeah and if a Doctor gives you meds take them. But if they don't work then TELL Them! I am not going to go on a conspiracy rant or something you heard Laura Ingraham saying that meds are designed to make the problem worse. Because I think that some of them actually do work.I did find a med routine that worked. My goal's to get back on them. I'm finally working again so I'm hoping to earn enough money to get my insurance back because right now I just can't afford them without insurance.
The problem too is, you hear about all of these great people (supposedly) like Dr laura schlessinger or whoever. But it is like, where are any of these people whenever you are having like some kind of extreme episode. Probably out on their ski resort in colorado.
Its like yesh. Self advocating then. And that is no fun. Actually reading Dr. Seuss books helps me a lot. I don't know why.
And if you ever meet a doctor who acts like they are really helping you and they tell you to come back regularly and to not "Ghost them," seriously punch them in the face. That is probably the worst term that I have ever heard in my life. If you are so called ghosting someone, you are obviously not doing it on purpose. It means that you are really struggling. And need better professional help. And treat yourself. Eat a Cheese, Apple, Walnut Salad from time to time. Or given that you have the teeth capable of biting through a walnut. I have bipolar too.


Quote from: zombie no.one on Today at 03:56:40 AMI did get fully sober for about 2 years around 13 years back. No booze or drugs. I did ok, but had an incident that just flipped my world and I went on a 2 week bender, barely came home. I still managed to work, but I was messed up every shift...there's bars and liquor stores here open at 6AM. I was going there til work at 9, then going out after work at 5, then sometimes after hours places. I'm not that bad off now, but I do still drink. I don't currently take medication, but trying to get back on. I lost my insurance after an accident I was in and couldn't work for 2 years, and couldn't afford to pay it anymore, and the medication without insurance quadrupled in price.Quote from: HappyGilmore on August 25, 2026, 08:08:09 PMI go days at a time with zero sleep, and spend several days drinking at a time. So we're trying to settle it. They're worried about the amount...
obviously no two cases are identical but I feel like I've been somewhere near to that situation in the past.
gave up drinking and smoking on the same day, over 15 years ago. was strangely one of the easiest and one of the hardest things I've done. but I really felt that if I didn't stop drinking altogether I'd be dead... it took me to get to that point.
wasn't the magic solution to everything that I hoped it would be, but did it help
