    Mania

    I feel like I can somewhat relate to the thought patterns. When your head goes really fast and thinks of a bunch of ideas in a really quick sequence. My mind usually goes to linguistics and postmodern philosophy, like I'll think of a sex term and I notice how it makes me feel slightly squeamish due to the cultural connotation of the word, then I'll wonder how much of the squeamishness is just from culture and how much is from a natural human reaction to sex, and then I'll think about how much sex runs everything in culture and even the smallest interactions with the opposite gender relate back to that like the casual joking, and then I'll think about how the casual jokes tend to be male-dominant and I'll wonder if the ideas behind "cute" are really just condescension and that "cute" is "cute" because "cute" is actually just "subservient and controllable", and then I'll feel bad because I hate that male domination ideas affect me so much. God I'm being pretentious right now. I don't know if this is completely a bi-polar thing, though; I think many people do this. I guess I wouldn't know though since I technically have an atypical bi-polar diagnosis. I would get manic highs right after the lows where I would think about how lovely and pointless the world was, and then think about killing myself. I don't really get that much any more thankfully, at least not at the same dramatic level.

    Permanent Jetlag

    The whole world would be distant and surreal. It would seem like a giant clock, people waking up and going to work and driving and walking and going places and going to bed, then everything would be silent for hours. It would be chaotically ordered, empty. At least, those're the ideas that come to mind when I think of this disorder. Sorry to hear that man, sucks. Morning is a nice time to wake up for (although admittedly morning is cooler when you've been up all night). Does it bring on cool creative stuff?
  3. (videos spoilered in quote) one of the weirdest channels. It's seriously weird as fuck. I can't tell what point they're trying to make.
  4. please watch this its important http://youtu.be/zjE9J6xdQXY edit ^I thought the same thing, isaki
  5. I'm currently watching the end of the Avatar cartoon series, which is about as long as a movie. It's embarrassingly trite, especially since it's supposed to be an Asian style film and yet has so many American clichés.
  6. yes and yes. Fucking great films. I'd probably give Network a 10 for the writing alone. Anyone here seen The Master? I'm watching it tonight. Also, I really want to watch Enter the Void.
  7. consumption of a nice bar of cadbury chocolate and some hot tea
  8. samples of old guys doing funny things with their willies

  10. The only thing I hate about Spotify is that I can't ever think of what I want to listen to. Well, that and ads, but I've got a free month of Premium and it's really not that bad at all. 160kbps is my problem with Spotify
  11. i start college again tmrrw #FML #LOL #FUNNY #FACEBOOK #LOLCAT #RANDOM
  12. The only health insurance I can get is through my school, and it's shit. Insurance companies refuse to cover me. If I break an arm or something I might even have to file for bankruptcy. edit: the fact that this is a first world problem shows how great America is doing
  13. I'm assuming it's a rebellion against the constraining morality that they see religion as having built. Makes sense to me (correct me if I'm wrong, though). I'm a Christian, but I'd probably be annoyed if I weren't and Christians tried to say I was evil because I have sex outside of marriage.
  14. It bothers me more how many end up telling Borderline people to just "get over it". Or any mental disorder for that matter. "Hard love" can be useful when given by professional counselors or sometimes close family/friends, but those with no context making generalizations about how someone should just "get over it" is neither loving nor true.
  15. This board deals with these situations nicely: http://www.bluelight...-support-thread
  16. Many people who are clinically depressed won't necessarily say they feel "down", they'll say that they feel nothing, or that they're "numb". I think it often comes with a form of dissociation; I get that, but not severely. Nothing seems real and everything seems pointless. It's like being in a dream for me.
