  1. shadow of mordor. got my ass handed to me by a warchief this morning. this game is a giant grudge-match and it feels p good.

     

    also playing kentucky route zero. really wonderful and laid back. i found a man playing a guitar on the side of the road, gave him a dollar, and he "reached into his glass of whiskey, pulled out a wet dollar, and handed it back." lol.

    Haha yeah that part is great. Playing the same game right now, I'm on act II.

  2. does anyone else sometimes feel like they're dying a bit faster than usual? like put me out of this misery plz :)

    Sort of I guess. What do you mean by "put me out of this misery"?

  3. Just finished the second season Telltale's Walking Dead game. I think I'm the only person who thought that the second season's characters were more convincing. Especially Carver. [mild spoiler] In all the years of video game playing, I never encountered a bad guy who I absolutely hated as much as Carver, in a good way. He's probably my favorite character. [/mild spoiler] In fact I think I liked the second season better overall, actually. Great games though. I can't think of another game that comes close to having characters I cared about as much as these ones, or even at all (maybe KOTOR).

  4. Anyone tried gabapentin (or pregabalin i guess too) for depression and anxiety?

    My brain tells me I've taken gabapentin but I can't remember when or why. I don't have any recollection of actually taking it. Maybe I had a friend who took it?

  5.  

    Is it a depressing fact that sex and money are great cures for depression?

    I know you're not being serious, but a momentary respite is far from a cure, and they can also do nothing or exacerbate depression. I think a lot of people confuse momentary sadness for depression, or situational depression for clinical depression. Clinical depression is the one where your environment can have nothing to do with your emotions. I finally went for help when I was in one of the best times of my life and I was still getting awful episodes once a month. I was doing fine on money and sex, for example. Anyway, carry on.

     

    I think that situational stuff can play into clinical depression; at least, the two cannot be completely separated. Things can trigger manic episodes in bipolar patients.

  6. Just finished this. Great show.

     

    (actual spoilers ahead; don't read if you're considering watching)

     

     

    She ended on my thought exactly: it doesn't matter whether he did it or not, he shouldn't be in jail. Not nearly enough information. There is a huge reasonable doubt, right from the beginning. He might've done it, I personally think he didn't; I'd put 4:1 odds on him not doing it if I had to bet. But whether he did it or not is beside the point, that point being that there was nowhere near enough evidence to put him away for life.

    Oh well stick at it, I'm still concerned that you were self harming though. Why do you think it came to that?

    Not sure, pretty sure the worst is over though, so it's uphill from here. I'll probably be perfectly dandy in a couple weeks; such is the nature of bipolar disorder. I have a support system to get me through the worst parts.

     

    downhill you mean. i just looked up the term "ideation" as i think i misunderstood you initially. i think being aware of the signs early can help.

     

    True, I'm not out of this yet (and I'm honestly not sure why I brought it up on this forum in such detail) but things have generally been better since two weeks ago, which is why I said that I think the worst is over. I'm seeing a counselor today who knows the whole situation, so that will be good.

  8. Yeah bipolar disorder can get real bad, although mine is far from the worst (I only ever get hypo-manic, with the exception of the one time I was given an SNRI). I'm glad meds work well for you so well, mine are usually decent but still not enough apparently. It was almost 3 years between my first hospitalization and this one, though, so I was (relatively) stable for quite some time.
