I don't plan to! And I rarely do, as you know. ;)

Take it easy yourself. No stressful phone calls / appointments today I hope?

Got to stop taking this etiz before work. It's nice enough, but it's pointless really as the lithium is keeping me stable enough as it is, and it's a bad, bad habit to fall into.

Plays havoc with yer cock an' all.
 
No no phone calls or anything to look forward to today.
Keyworker never turned up yesterday so missed out on her spanking so next time she gets the stretching rack.
What does lithium do,mood stabilizer?
Just noticed that was post 666,hope that's not some kind of omen or maybe it's telling me to play some good old Maiden.
 
Yeah, lithium's a mood stabiliser. Keeps me from going too high or two low.

It can also be used as a pretty hardcore antidepressant for people who've exhausted all the other options, but that's very rare.

It also makes you drink a shitload of water.
 
I can remember when you started taking it but my memory for details is shot to fuck.
I do know one bloke who has extreme highs & lows,he obviously hates the lows but he sometimes enjoys it when he is a bit manic.
He tries to deal with it by using heroin as he hates leaving his house to go doctors or anywhere other than his dealer.
Right, it's time to try and go for a walk to try and help sort this dvt out a bit. It had improved but now it's coming back all painful again.
Have a good day Sam, Snolly and everyone on EADD

Yeah, I was a bit like that. Except I maintained a fairly 'normal' front most of the time. Enough to seem like a slightly eccentric but essentially grounded bloke.

Didn't even recognise the lows as depression - just thought it was 'normal', or that I needed to take more drugs / drink more / shag around more / go out every night. None of which worked at all, although some did ease things a little. For a short time.

I tended to associate 'depression' with teenage angst and whingers, which was a little ignorant of me I guess. It was only my ex, a locum GP and a psychiatrist who made me realise that I was suffering from severe depression, and it wasn't just painful awareness of how shitty the world can be.

You too mate :)

Associated depression with the same as you, Sam, until very recently. I wouldn't say I suffer from depression, but I do get depressed and it's awful. I need to sort my medication out, I've been on and off Citalopram since I moved back to my parents' in June cos of doctors/effort/being lazy and miserable (was on it for two or three years straight prior), but it really does stabilise me. I'm prone to outbursts of emotion (anger, sadness, happiness occasionally) otherwise that are just unnecessary or inappropriate. Citalopram fixes that, though I am hoping there's another drug that will do the same but not make sex pointless and irritating. CBT has worked wonders, mind, just need that extra crutch for a bit I think.

In other happier news, postie turned up with my Kratom, Red Vein Borneo apparently. So that's nice. No Etiz though, which isn't the end of the world cos I have the kratom and don't want to mix despite benzo tolerance, but I ordered it two days ago first class post. I DID get a parenting magazine though. I can barely parent a cactus.

Good luck, and glad citalopram's doing something. :)

It can even more difficult to accept you're 'depressed' in today's climate, I find, ironically. It seems one of the side-effects of people becoming more open about this stuff is that a large percentage of the people who are prepared to admit to 'depression' are actually just experiencing melancholia at worst (while some are just downright lazy whining gits), whereas a lot of those suffering from actual depression would never even consider it a possiblity, and often just soldier on, sometimes with self-destructive coping mechanisms.

Makes it a lot harder for some of those with deep-seated problems; in fact it's almost as bad as the traditional silence on such matters.

Thanks :) Yeah it can be hard, and somehow even more depressing when you do. Sometimes I am just a bit melancholic or feeling sorry for myself but when you feel it you know it. I've noticed that a lot of people will dismiss it as 'just be happy' until they suffer from it themselves; my ex for years while we were together would tell me to just get over it and stop whining when I was in a rut, but she started to suffer from it recently as a result of an unhappy marriage and various stuff and started talking to me about it. My current lady's ex was the same, he just kept telling her to get over it and that he 'didn't believe in it'.

Good luck with the postie too! Only reason I keep a routine and my alarm clock set is cos the postie comes at 9ish here and so I'm up at 8am on the dot most days. Kinda ironic, really. I'm gonna go play GTA and pray I don't fall asleep before the bloody internet man gets here, have a good one :D

edit: Fucking hell that picture. We had massive storms last night, to the point where they influenced my dreams but it's all bright and sunny in the land of Prescott today.
 
I just realised that it's 3 years to the day that I joined Bluelight.
Longest I have stuck to anything.
 
Yeah Dan, my back fence is down, and my locked PVC back door blew open in the night. Serious weather.
 
Gotta feel sorry for the poor buggers who have been flooded for weeks.
Will take forever once the water has gone back down to have a habital home again.
