Guest The Architect Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 It isn't necessarily an issue of trust when you keep something from somebody close to you. Your friend probably wanted to tell you earlier but couldn't find the courage to because he was too embarrassed or ashamed about it.
Shryke Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 ^^ as much as i hate to admit it, the aussie is right today i'm just killing time at work, then heading home to get ready for tonight. still haven't decided quite what i'm doing. been invited to a few different parties, and there's a couple of cool gigs on in town, and also kinda wanna spend some time with the girlfriend decisions decisions.... when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Dark_Raven Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 Found out yesterday that my best friend had been taking meds for depression ever since high school. And never told me. I feel pretty bummed and sad over him now. It's not like I was ever bothered that he didn't open up much, particularly when he was ashamed of something, but I knew something wasn't right back then and he just kept pretending that we share everything. Granted, I didn't really confront him at all because I thought that it was nice if we didn't complicate things. In a way, I understand why he kept shut up about it and instead went for the meds and suddenly started practicing meditation. I don't know if I could have admitted that myself back then in fear of breaking something that had been a pristine status quo ever since we met. Now I'm bit torn, happy that he finally trusted me enough to tell, but also a bit taken back over him not telling. As said already its not a thing of trust. It is a source of embarrassment at least it was for me. Like OMG I have a mental condition, I can't tell anyone, they'll think less of me. Being brought up in a household where perfection was key, that's how it was with me never mentioning it to anyone for the longest time. I'm bad because I don't take my meds like I should. I'm a believer that the body will heal itself. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

samm Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) This I'm bad because I don't take my meds like I should. I'm a believer that the body will heal itself. should be possible, I think. It takes a strong will and clearness over the own condition however, awareness of how ones body / mind works. I know a case of a person who is to weak to make it on her own and who doesn't recognize her condition, and it is not nearly funny being around her right now (paranoid schizophrenia) ...

Musopticon? Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I bought some cds and just hang around to gather some strength for my South-Karelian odyssey tomorrow. Ugh, 4 days of nothing but party-going and train trips. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

What about the comfort in waffles with double cream, and a fruit beer? My cold came back after the New Year party (London was like being in the trenches. Lots of explosions, and no food to be had). So I did what any red blooded Englishman would do - went for a four mile run in the snow. I feel fanTASTIC! "It wasn't lies.

Daaave Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I got my hips pierced today. They're like, the sexiest things ever. Felt rather nice having them done as well, always a bonus I feel. Good times good times. Just because you're a bit thinner than your even fatter mum it doesn't mean you're in excellent physical shape, if you could fit through the door and view the normal people you'd notice that cheeseburger boy. Squid suck.
Krookie Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 your hips? Like, waist hips? How does that work?
Gfted1 Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 ^I broke down and googled it. Not attractive on either sex, imo. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
