Blarghagh Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 As far as I can tell antidepressants work differently for everyone. Nobody has the same experience. I was told that some people don't feel the effects of the new one I'm on until after they've been taking it for several weeks but it hit me like a bullet. It also depends on what's wrong with you - my diagnosis keeps changing. Originally I was diagnosed with bipolar just with very mild to non-existent manic episodes, now my doc is thinking is persistent depressive disorder. It's not an exact science.
Azdeus Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) I'm home with illness. Don't know what, but possibly influenza. High fever, bit of a runny nose, and one hell of a cough. It's not a constant cough, but I do get fits where I almost vomit and the pain in my chestmuscles is epic.

Malcador Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Well, garage door spring broke overnight, that was fun. Can't lift it to get the car out (I am sure it's just a strength issue, but is what it is) so today's commute was fun - coincided with a major transit outage as well. And to top it off, big snowstorm coming tonight. Why has elegance found so little following?

Azdeus Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Ohh, you lucky bastard, I also want a snowstorm. :< Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Malcador Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I want one, but only if I can WFH.

Azdeus Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I have a pretty large yard to clear unfortunately, but if there is a snowstorm there's no reason for me to go to work. Hell, if there's a bit of sleet lorries seem to stop running so we get nothing to do at work. Last time there was snowfall we spent 6 hours cleaning the building.

Nonek Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I Seem to have been afflicted by what Red Dwarf would describe as positive Flu today, an inexplicable and unwarranted feeling of health, strength and positivity. My morning run was a breeze, my workout I lifted like Geoff Capes, my knees did not give me even a twinge all day, and other aspects of health were gloriously evident when I awoke, the joys of Spring arived a little early so to speak. I always wonder why this happens, it's very strange. 1 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!

ManifestedISO Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Did laundry and then went to make a 3.01 PoE character but the same thing happened as last night ... computer locked at the same point during character creation. Checked the game cache, fine, CHKD DSK, fine. Deleted local content and am now downloading to a different disk, the Raptor, not the OS SSD. Pretty sure it was the Win10 Windows Update bugaboo that failed to configure awhile ago, somehow doesn't want me to play White March Part II. *Sailed through character creation. Made it to the last option of the very first conversation and PC froze again like Cap in an iceberg. I'll wait for 3.2, or whatever. Edited March 2, 2016 by ManifestedISO All Stop. On Screen.
Hiro Protagonist Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Paid the stamp duty today on the property I purchase last year. That was a lot of money that went down the drain. Settlement is on 21st of this month. Didn't realise it was that long ago that I signed the contract. Time flies.

We're due for 30 cm, so it will be hell Love the sound of that, I love walking around in the woods after snowfall and just enjoy the view. Not that I would be able to do that in my current state. My fever has gone up slightly, and I can't fall asleep - because I need to find my way out of that frigging labyrinthe before being allowed to sleep.

Malcador Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 It was great out last night, snow was falling and very little wind. Was a bit cold to go for a walk, though. Snow was powder so was an easy shovelling job - neighbour woke up and did our steps and sidewalk (we normally do each others if we can - he works nights so that's how it goes). 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

Raithe Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 My Crombie has decided to start showing signs of its age, and has lost two buttons and had an inner seam split. While I could technically sew the repairs myself, I know that my skills would mean it would get done, but not in a great manner, and a Crombie deserves a lot better than that. So I shall have to find a decent tailor that will repair it. Out of curiosity I went to see what a new Crombie would cost these days. Heh. The Clearance sale tends to have them at £450-600... Yes, I think repairs not replacement are definitely in order. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

ManifestedISO Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Got it. I figured out why I couldn't play Pillars. Millions of nanobots were inside my PC, a gray-blue hive, clogging heatsinks, coating fan blades, creeping over every surface. I activated security protocols, releasing compressed gas directly into the hive. The infection is terminated, all systems functional. 3 All Stop. On Screen.
Guard Dog Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I feel old. I head it on the radio last week, The Gulf War ended 25 years ago on 2/28. Jeez. Am I really that old?

ManifestedISO Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Sorta. We were at Pendleton for what was called MCT and later SOI during that time, Jan. thru Mar. ... none of us deployed to Desert Storm but they issued active duty service ribbons. It was kind of a bare-bones training staff, since the regulars were in country. It was interesting, we were in field gear, I remember at night, when they played Bush's address over the radio. I feel super old sometimes, too. 1 All Stop. On Screen.

Guard Dog Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I was in Diego Garcia for all of Desert Shield and the first two weeks of Desert Storm. Then after the 2nd Div swept past Al Basra we moved there. I liked the wing well enough I guess but we did miss out on the action. But someone had to help land the planes.

Guard Dog Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 There are a lot of things about my career I wish I'd done differently but going in the Corps isn't on of them. Getting out isn't either actually. I was inclined to stay in because I'd just made Corporal three months before the end and the cutting scores for Sergeant were pretty low. But I had to pick a new MOS and I just didn't like any of the options. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
