The shit you're saying to do is what people do in therapy. You learn coping mechanisms, how to recognize your brain is fucking you again, how to recognize when you are in a bad way.

And when to ask for help.

My brain can't heal itself, my dude. It's chemically fucked, and I was born that way- just like someone with any other genetic disorder is born that way. It's just luck of the draw.

The medicine helps correct the imbalances in my brain- it helps me be able to control my disease and not be controlled by it.

And we're not talking about behavior- Behavior is a learned thing.

We're talking about stuff you can't help here- physical anomalies in the brain. I can wish to change it- but there's no way to do it, same as if I were born with Lupus, or Crohns, or Diabetes. I can take meds and make lifestyle changes to HELP with the issues- but there's no cure for this.

No, there is no cure for it. Just like Diabetes 1.

What about diabetes type 1, my dude?

You know, the people born with the disease?

Everyone knows that you can make your immune system stop attacking your body if you have Lupus through positive energy management, yoga, diet, and coffee enemas.

DOn't forget to tell diabetics and people with lupus to Will their bodies into working correctly, too.

That IS how it works in the USA, though, because Medicine is for profit there.

That's not how it works in my country.

It's hard stuff, but yeah, me too. I'm just starting seeing a psychologist again for the first time in 18 years. Meds are on point. Taking them as scheduled and in the same job for 2.5 years now.

I'm honestly feeling like I might have mostly gotten my shit together.

Not where I Want to be, but I'm out of that hole and that bipolar voice in my head that calls me a retarded shithead who's not even worthy to be called garbage is more or less silent.

It's good.

The disease is bipolar- like diabetes of the brain. The chemicals up there are all fucky.

My life without meds is numbness and sadness with periods of explosive energy. It's a fucking nightmare, to be completely honest.

With meds I can feel emotions and not be afraid to be pulled down into true despair. I can be happy without fear of spending a month's worth of money because I was 'having fun'.

My life is improved by this medicine. Period.

It's all a cost benefit analysis. My medicine could kill me, sure, but I'll probably kill myself without it. So... Welcome to Bipolar land.

@dantheclamman Yoooo. Feel better soon.

@TranimeGirl Good morning, Tranime! :D

I can get you copies of most of the books, if you need them. <_< >_>

Oh yeah, for sure DnD, maybe some old school WoD. Possibly other options, I got lots of old TT games lying around somewhere.

It's okay, Glitches. I'll start a server for us with blackjack and Cosplay girls.

I'm all caught up at work. Further customer service issues can be forwarded to another department.

CS is canceled for the rest of the day.
