:p

Ditto to what Wyo said.

Another thing to try: be friendly to others, including strangers. It's amazing what a little good will towards your fellow man can do for your outlook on life.

I agree with this statement. What comes around goes around. I get to see young cancer patients for a living so that has changed my outlook on life.

Dude, get stoked about something......life is so short and you can't do things in your 30s that you could do in your 20s. Take a trip to Europe, update your resume, ask the hottest girl out (how do you think someone actually agreed to marry me :wink2: ). Join a group (ski club, running group, biking group, etc.)

My advice (and I'm no expert): always look at the upside about everything.

Ekeen is right....

A little thing you can do to start...

Start hazing Sparkyosu mercilessly on the RWSF thread... and You'll have lots of new friends.

Seriously, though.... I've made a number of good friends here on this board... geeky? Sure... (sorry bkb)... but... Have had a lot of good talks with the (formerly) anonymous folks here about life in general...and its been pretty good for me... you know?

Ditto to that... I've had a pretty rough year, too... and... I'm not sure where I'd be without the friendship and support of my tennis team and the people here... yeah... it's pretty geeky, but this is a great community, and it's been good for me, too. So... yeah... all of those who suggested you find a new activity or join a new club - that's great advice. And... stick around here, too!

there's nothing wrong with being depressed, or bi-polar. I've dealt with the former, and have multiple family members who were bi-polar. It seems ridiculous and pathetic, but its not your fault. My mom is as positive and upbeat as they come, but she would get absolutely floored for no reason.

The problem is today there are some doctors who prescribe meds for everything, and so depression seems overtreated and overstated. That seems to illegitimize the disorder in the public, but its a very real problem for people with bio-chemical imbalances.

Talking to a psychologist would be useful. He cannot prescribe medicine, and are often quite good at therapy. Medicine can be viewed as the quick fix, but counseling and understanding/treating your condition is just as important and can sometimes be all you need.

Even if you/your doctor decide that medicine is not right for you, it really helps to shed some light on your feelings. It can be very lonely, embarrassing, and hopeless to go thru these types of symptoms. For me, before any treatment began... it was so helpful to speak with someone who understood my symptoms, had experience treating them, and gave me hope for the future.

These guys put it as well as I could possibly try to do.

If you have “a bit” of bipolar disorder but aren’t real bad, and it appears from your rationality that if you are at all bipolar this could be you, try to enjoy it. Though this sounds stupid, I think for functional mild bipolar folks (like me, and I know the word “mild” can sound so wrong) the bigger swings are always remembered if not as the best of times at least as the most important of times. So see a psychologist who talks well like jwinslow said, and make some good memories like ekeen said. Try to have some fun with everything.

As someone whom people used to think was “bad” and worried about, eventual normalcy (it is amazing what a good wife and older age can do) feels dull and tiresome at times. It sounds stupid, but maybe try to fantasize your current situation and use it as a great turning point to push through? This would only be a bi-polar-ish kinda solution, but I bet, as a Buckeye, you got some serious shit going for you.

On practical matters, let us help. Need jobs for you or the fam? Need advice on that shit? Hell, us Buckeyeplanet peeps can not only help with that but we can do it while posting pics of Jessica Alba. Who the hell else can do that!!??

Though this may sound silly, I wish Buckeyeplanet was around when I was younger. The people here are real, and not “virtual” like most voices on the web, and they are cool and best of all they listen.

Good luck to you man. I bet you have a lot more going for you than against you; I bet you know it; and I bet you’re just waiting for things to kick in and make it feel that way.

At the least, you are stronger than most of us in that you’re willing to talk about it. . .

First off i'd peckerslap tibor....don't know the guy...but from the responses he usually has on any thread id wanna choke him with a garden hose, then shove the hose down his throat and drown him with it....i digress.



Much of the reason for my "condition" whatever it may be is that more and more I feel like a loser. Growing up I was one of the most intelligent kids around. Could read the newspaper at 4 years old, and was taking beginning level college russian classes at 8 or 9 (grandparents wanted me to learn the home language i guess), also taught most of my first grade class how to read. Now what am I doing with all that intelligence? Not a damn thing because I never was properly informed of the financial burdens of college. So now I am 23 technically still a college freshman after one year at Ohio Northern University (where i wasted a year of NCAA eligibility) two quarters at tOSU, and another year at the college of Mt. St. Joseph (where I left with a 3.0 GPA, without being able to afford a book for my classes). But all the money I had saved to pay MSJ off went to help my mom when she got evicted in 2004. I also left my coaching job in kentucky to be with my family here. So after making some of the closest friends (what I essentially consider family) at MSJ, I was forced to leave due to money and couldnt come back. My credit sucks through my own faults, and not really realizing what a burden credit cards could be, so I can't get loans on my own. Right now I make 11 an hour as an assistant manager at Rent-A-Center, and it makes me wanna blow my fuckin brains out. 60 hours of work from 9a-9pm every days sucks. Its kept me from going back to school. Which is whats worse. My market manager is all about jumping my cock and making me a store manager eventually, but I don't want it. My whole life I have wanted to teach and coach, and its just getting harder and harder for me. I am probably enrolling at Wright State in the fall to try again (should I get all my bills ie: cash advances in line) to finish up my double major in english(secondary ed) and journalism (broadcast and written). I feel like I have let myself and my family down, because after starting college in 2001, I am no closer than I was before...and its really taken a toll on me. Now after all this throw in the fact that the woman i was dating..my ex from Mt St Joes, was the woman i was fully prepared to marry...who proceeded to dump me after 9 months i nearly went off the deep end...and by that i mean i came dangerously close to doing something to myself. I ended up spending a week in Cincy with my friends from MSJ and it helped a lot knowing I had them there, but since I have left I have grown apart from all but maybe 4 or 5 people (former wrestling teammates), and i just feel completely alone right now..its a lot of shit and i really do appreciate your help guys....and ladies peach.



What the hell its 3:29 PM and Michigan still sucks


P.S.-The uhh hamster/gerbil whatever it was with the pancakes on its head...definitely got me laughing.
