    Friendly Reminder: Laxatives are a thing you can buy over the counter at drug stores.

    Other Friendly Reminder: Some people don't notice when you slip laxatives into their punch cups.

    Friendliest Reminder: Slipping people laxatives can be considered poisoning.
    Raz, you don't really think I would recommend slipping drugs into people's drinking cups?

    That would be insane!

    But also funny.
    Well it's also really hard to do.

    I tried it once in college, but it's pretty obvious looking. You'd have to crush that shit into a fine powder. Luckily I didn't do it, and my friends got to yell at me for almost being reckless.

    you can get suppository laxatives

    just put it up their butt when they're not looking

    I've had one girlfriend.

    It lasted a week.

    But, in retrospect, I'm okay with that.

    brain problems are brain problems

    they're so stupid and shitty to the person who has them that even people with the same brain problems can't always relate their issues

    I used to have a lot of social issues. Inability to speak, quit jobs because I was too scared to go, shit like that. I worked through it all on my own for the most part. That's what really makes this anxious breathing thing a kick in the ass. I thought I had worked it all out.

    i have anxiety, adhd and major depressive disorder

    i've spent the last two days trying to summon the motivation to work on my entreprenurial pursuits in the face of not making any money at it

    pretty worried about how i'll survive the world outside of the academy

    I gave up on my dreams and pursued a career in manual labor.

    Turns out the manual labor market is shockingly hard to break into. This has caused me no end of anxiety.

    ive decided to never give up on my dreams because i'm an incredibly stubborn person

    I'm incredibly stubborn, too. However, I'm also a realist. My dream isn't even remotely within the limits of my ability to make real. At this point it's transformed into a fantasy--something I indulge in merely to amuse myself, in part as a distraction from reality. This is a good thing, I think. Were I to hold onto my dreams they'd run the risk of morphing in delusions, and that's a dangerous road to travel.

    Dreams give you something to get out of bed for, something to motivate you to live and strive, and if possible, achieve. Fantasies allow you to escape from reality into a make-believe world that takes you away from the harsh truths that cling to us like shadows at sunset. But delusions, those are dangerous things. They're fantasies we mistake for dreams--something we think we can achieve through effort and good fortune. And no matter how outlandish or impossible they might seem, we fool ourselves into thinking they're achievable. It's terrifying, really. I didn't want that to become my life.

    Fortunately, it hasn't. Instead my life became testament to the failed pursuit of Plan C. This was after Plan B fell through, of course. I didn't even bother with Plan A; as I said before, I'm a realist.

    I pretty much live in a constant state of fear and depression these days, I tend to comfort myself with my bad habits and stuff, but this tends to make me miserable.

    I am still too afraid to change though because well, what if I never get to a point where I can be content without soda and greasy foods? What if the feelings of anxiety and depression that I get when I don't eat this way only get worse?

    'getting over it' is a myth inspired by the same kind of delusion as 'growing up'

    you will never get over it and put it behind you, all you can do is learn how to cope with your problems but that means everything

    I've had one girlfriend that lasted three weeks. She asked me out just before we both went off to different colleges, after I'd been trying to work up the courage to ask her out for the better part of a year and had basically given up on it. We made out a bit and it was pretty sweet.

    I don't have any brain problems that I know of, but my dad and I have talked off and on over the past 5 or 6 months about getting me to a therapist to discuss some of my issues and tendencies (that tend to stem past anxiety).

    Once I get out of this area I might look into it. Does anyone have any tips for looking for a good therapist?

    Get the name of some from your psychiatrist and then never call them

    It's worked pretty good for me.

    hey i was diagnosed years ago and i still have trouble talking about my problems because they always feel insignificant

    ain't no thang dogg

    also to add to that previous post i had a period of about six months to a year where i was just stark raving nuts right after i met buttlady and if it wasn't for her i probably would still be goddamn nuts because somehow all my issues just coalesced into this one massive ball of rage and delusions and jesus that was a scary time

    gonna be honest

    in the grand scheme of things

    asperger's/ASDs is probably the easiest of my issues to deal with

    because it's a thing that you deal with your whole life and that you learn to cope with and compensate for, to some degree, whether you know you have it or not

    I was never that bad. Just didn't bother going in on a couple of jobs that were new. I would feel like I was going to fail or just be super nervous about dealing with new people.

    Ah well I was scared I would fuck up, scared the people wouldn't like me, just scared that it was going to hurt really bad standing up doing dishes for hours.

    I am actually at the point tonight even where all my muscles are tensing up on their own to where they hurt and I am having trouble sleeping because all I can think about is how I'm never going to be good enough.

    i've been with several girls since high school, but i always seem to be in a long committed relationship. Its like i almost feel inadequate without someone there.

    The girl im with now cheated on me with quite possibly the worst human being on the planet, which didnt really help my inadequacy complex. Not even just cheated, but pretty much had a 3-4 month relationship behind my back .. Pretty much everything she told me for 4 months was a lie. Cool feeling. Even cooler feeling: i never felt i was strong enough to leave her. Not once while she would ignore me for days, or when she finally told me etc, that i felt that leaving her and breaking up was an option that i could handle.

    As of now we've worked things out and we're still together. This has been the longest relationship i've ever been in at 2.5 years. But after all this i find myself overanalysing everything she says or does, not so much because im worried something bad is going to happen, but because i expect something bad is going to happen.

    i hate trying to explain my thoughts

    go, you'll have fun and feel better

    I know your right. Absolutely 100 percent right. And by not going I'm a giagantic asshole. But my house is empty tonight and this never ever ever happens and its a excuse and ugh I'm garbage.

    Oh as far as diagnosis go when I was 9ish they said I was bi polar, then ocd but I have a super poor memory off all this due to lots of drugs and I was mostly fine for 7 years till now!

    And I got a you could be bi polar 2 but you might not be we actually don't know what's wrong with you. That's because I'm bad at talking to doctors.
