you never realize how good you have it until you lose it.

[ExodusinFlames]

No, it can't be cured except for pills, WHICH I WILL NOT TAKE! I hate pills. If this were normal depression I would have been fine by now. But it's a family trait sooo...

I think you're crutching on it. I'm a chronic bi-polar disorder sufferer, most people who have worked with me for years have no idea. Finding stuff other than gaming all the time, will fix it. But this is WAAAAAAAY OT. Sorry Emo-lovers.

 

[Woem]

Well I can't kill myself now. Don't have a gun, and too wussy to do other painful ways...
And anyway, my depression is a loooooong story. But I also have a brain chemical unbalance, so depression is normal.

Depression can be cured. Go outside, meet people, get some, find hobbies, just do something to distract yourself. I've seen it work countless times.

A depression that is cured by "going outside and meeting people" is not a depression. That would be called "being down a bit".

I'm a derailer so....

And I can be happy sometimes, but most of the time I feel like crap.

No it isn't. You need to fight your way out of a depression. Sitting in it makes it worse.

Where's the discussion in this thread? You want a scene girl? I've got hundreds of friends who are "emo/scene" and they all have facebook/myspace accounts. Go have fun.

I'm trying to understand this: you're bi-polar yourself but you don't take any medication for it? And you're managing?

Yeah. And every day is a struggle, but I force myself to get up and go.

What a shallow thread.

I guess I'll have to say my grandfather. :/

Cookies...It's the "Have your cake and eat it too" thing. I have em so i eat em, then i don't have any. *sad face*

Is there a specific reason you're not taking any medication to help you and make your life less of a struggle? I'm asking because I'm temporal lobe epileptic myself and if I don't take my medication then it's unlivable. I went through most of my life undiagnosed and to be honest, it was a hell, and it grew worse when getting older. Even only after a week after taking the medication I felt such a relief, I finally felt like myself again. My thoughts were my own once again. The idea of not taking them again is like a nightmare to me (and my wife).

A friend of mine is bipolar. She doesn't take any medication and to be honest I pray every day that she would because I'm so scared she would hurt herself. She's an emotional hurricane. So I'm curious as to why you're not taking any medication to easy your life. You are always free to PM if you don't want to share this with everyone. Or to not go into this at all of course.

Sharing is caring ... please... cookies are like drugs to me, i'm addicted...AAAAHHHH withdrawal!!!

 

[Danzaivar]

I think it's insane to state we don't know how good ___ is until you don't have it anymore. Obviously there are people with working brains that are grateful for what they have and don't need to lose it to appreciate it. Add that losing something sometimes shows us how horribly it was to have before.

Spoken like a true kid that hasn't lost something silly and now regrets it.

On topic - I live in a student house without a garden, I didn't even like going in the garden when I lived with my parents, but hot damn I miss having one now.

Haha, yea, i always got a pack on standby so i don't suffer from withdrawal... First i got to make them though.. but when their made...nice hot and steamy cookies .

We should make a group called the 'Cookie Order Over Knowledge In Escapist's' to dedicate to cookie-kind!

 

[Chrissyluky]

Emo's are Hawt, Well the non sucicidal ones.

im gonna go with the statement that they are cardboard cutouts and that its a bad style for the generation. with that said something that i didn't appreciate until it was gone has got to be my last cat who died a few years back.

 

[Danzaivar]

not like id go for someone under 18, im just saying pale white, short, small boobs emo/scene girls are just : "/drool"

S'just creepy. Gotta be careful at least. Fake IDs are super easy to get, and I doubt you'd have the patience to card em.

I'm suicidal.....

Not being mean, but you did a bad job of it.
You seem pretty good, why the want to die?

He'd be alright with the Europe thing then, age of consent is usually 16+ here. Never understood the 18+ thing Americans have...

You just need to try to make a habit of telling yourself you're worth something. Trust me. I've had really bad depression since I was 12. 3 attempted and 68 scars later, I'm doing much better just because I kept thinking to myself "No matter what anyone says to me, I'm worth something to someone."

Try it for about a week and you'll feel better.

 

[Indigoman]

I miss having a job. I run to the mailbox every morning hoping for a check..

 

[bushwhacker2k]

I don't know why I need to make this distinction, but the emo fashion and the emo lifestyle are radically different, and a combination of the two is just about nonexistent these days.

Emo girls are hot, but then when you devote your appearance to a fashion style it would be odd if people in general thought you looked bad.

Also, to reply to the topic name: I miss things from the '90s, I used to think nothing happened in the '90s and I was born in the 'era of blandness' but now I find a lot of music and games were BETTER in the '90s than they are now... I wonder if this is how old people feel about rock and roll?

I'm guessing the OP hangs around /s/ on 4chan for the "can it be scene gurl tiem nao?" threads that pop up every 20 minutes.
