SHOT IN THE FACE!!!

You know I can't quit you, baby.

I'm popping into say happy birthday and explain things, then I will probably continue fucking off into the distant future.

Firstly, my account disappeared or something. This wasn't deliberate, not entirely. My plot was to change my password to something I couldn't reproduce (just a random string copy and pasted) and take a break. Instead, changing my password rendered my account to the same status as a just-registered but not-activated newbie account. Therein, it looked like I had disappeared. My plan was to just slip away and take a break but instead whatever happened, happened.

After my last little outburst I spent a weekend sulking and making sad faces. Like The Crow.


BOO HOO HOO

I was being a huge bitch essentially because I got called stupid and was way too mad about it. I festered and stewed and fumed and plotted and raged and sweated and slept, and then I woke up and did it all over again. I've been thinking about killing myself a lot. Not doing it, just letting it happen and the repurcussions therein. How I'd do it (PROBABLY jumping, not gonna lie. If I survived that then I figure I've earned it and I could move the fuck on.

So suicide and death got me thinking life is precious, and god, and the bible. I realized, as I've stated rather specifically, that I am waaaaay too emotionally invested in this joint. But not only that, I'm just emotionally invested. I depend on my emotions to carry me around so I don't have to do much thinking beyond when my next meal is.

When I pick an argument with you (if you are among the list of everyone I've argued with pretend I'm talking directly to you) I'm not really looking for anything tangible, or sensible. I just want to fucking win. I want to be king shit and lord it over everyone even if my turdcastle is a-shambles. Even if I make myself look like a fool, a bit of duke (this is also a poo joke) or even a little queeny. I say the dumbest, or smartest, but most importantly NASTIEST shit that I can. I have an anger problem that stems directly from growing up in a home where my only grasp of power was shitting down my family's neck more than they can shit down mine. Is this an excuse? Fuck no. I'm seeing a counsellor. I have been for awhile. After a few sessions, I had the helpful suggestion of asking her is I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from all the weirdo shit that was my home life.

Her diagnosis? No. I don;t have PTSD. But I do suffer from a Stress/Anxiety problem that not only has tangible roots in my mind but can be all but excised completely. Step one in curing this? Write some letters. Write some letters to my mom, my dad, friends I'm upset with, Pilot (because pilot is always included, but not really he doesn't bother me at all. You're a good guy Pilot, I wish you the BEST) and all kinds of other hoo-hah and suchlike. So I did. I wrote this stream of consciousness no-editing-applied document full of my hate and bile and also a shitload of humility, but mostly bile. I love bile.

This doc will never be finished, because I'll never run out of shit that needs to be drained from my mind but it's an incredible outlet for my frustrations and bitterness. It's a diary that I can scream myself to sleep with.

So the thoughts of jumping off a bridge (and the walks I took scouting for such) changed to thoughts of jumping for joy and those walks turned into generally walking. Walking is amazingly relaxing.

I am not cured. I am not saying my (1-2 weeks maybe?) Vacation from our niche forum has magically made me all better, but I am better, however marginally. I don't feel miserable or anxious or depressed. I feel really good. I feel like lifting weights with my big stinky arms. I feel like going for walks. I feel like trying.

I don't, however, feel like seriously commenting on this pony shit beyond shaking my head disappointedly.

It's good hearing from you. I'm sorry things have been sounding rough, and I hope that the counselling works nicely for you. It's terrible that the idea of suicide has entered into the situation, and I hope that those ideas dissipate entirely, because I've been subject to some amount of depression in the past, and I know it's not much fun.

I hope things really work out for you, and that you keep gradually improving, because it's a shame for somebody like yourself to be affected in that way.

Does counseling help? I found it to be the most pointless and expensive exercise I've ever engaged with, and I'm a gamer.

Counseling works on some people...

Ive talked with counselors and they dont work on me... Most likely because I analyze everything they say and cant just take in the experience as is.
And Im very resistant to people trying to mess with my head.

My sister on the other hand truly believes in all that, and does the exercises her counselor gives her. She says it really helps and she's been feeling better.

So Im guessing it's just a matter of being the right person and finding the right one?

From what I've been able to gather, it depends largely on what your needs are and how experienced/trained the counsellor is to deal with them. Prior to my present 'prescription' I irregularly spoke with a different woman who wanted to put me on a boatload of medication for depression and anxiety. This conclusion depended largely on a series of yes/no answer sheets to produce a diagnosis, rather than actually talking to me which is what I seem to need.
I have an extremely hard time expressing my emotions in a concise/approachable/relatable way, so having an avenue to let it all out the way I do helps me learn to let it out in a more 'normal' way and simultaneously learn to outright avoid conflicts/stressors.
So my current counsellor is an amazing lady for what I need, and the last one I think actually WORSENED my moments of being an Emotional Trailer Park but it's entirely possible she does wonders for some other hooligan.

Worth it? Absolutely, but I don't have any costs to worry about apart from saving for school and about 150$ a month to help keep things in motion around the house. So it depends largely on your needs and their capability to meet such.

tl;dr Yes.

E: Pretty much exactly what Nexy said.

E2: The editing: Also, I appreciate the kind words guys.

Glad you have come back for a bit, and that you're on the mend from whatever mental ailments are getting you down. =)

First, I wanna say your avatar is fucking perfect. I don't wanna be part of your tight-ass country club, ya freak bitch!

Second, glad to see things are starting to get better for you. I went through the same kind of thing (the suicide, anyways) and I find if you just let your emotions out those thoughts start to get away. Mind you, your life is obviously quite different from mine, so it could be a different proccess for you. But it always gets better eventually.

Yeah, I know how that feels (slightly), because lately I've been in the shitter too, hope everything gets better

EDIT: I know what you mean about the thinking. Sometimes if I think too hard my head hurts. So I don't.

so glad to see you here again, buddy. i stayed away from the Morbidity Thread for personal reasons so i didn't know anything was kicking off until after you'd left, then i felt like a right cunt for being ignorant. but, again, glad you're back.

i think i can relate to your anger issues due to my condition. for me it's very similar to a pressure cooker. the pressure builds, you get snappy, agitated and irritable, then eventually the pressure becomes too much and blows the top off, burning anyone who happens to be in the way. then it starts all over again. you'd think i'd have some helpful advice about how to deal with it or some shit, but i don't. it just fucking comes out, and my psychiatrist just wants to dope me up on ridiculously strong anti-psychotics all the time, which i don't believe helps. from experience the best i can do is try to direct it at someone who possibly deserves it, when really i'm just looking for an excuse to verbally or physically kick the living fucking shit out of someone, anyone.

i don't know if it's the same as what you're going through, but i thought it might help knowing someone else suffers with something similar, and there are ways of trying to deal with that shit so you can get the fuck on with your life. i wish i could be more helpful.

Knowing that someone is going through the same shit (someone I'd gladly grab a beer and some smokes with) means a lot, especially since I don't really get that kind of support from my 'local' friends, they just don't really get it. Not to say they don't help but no one I know has the same anger troubles and fuming habits. Being like a pressure cooker sealed with gorilla glue, rubber cement and maple syrup ready to take a swing isn't a great thing, but once in awhile there's a need for us.

So yeah, we might not be in the precisely same situation but I'll be damned if we're not the same piss-taking curmudgeonly old man at heart. I mean well but just DAMN those kids on my lawn.

Man, I feel you on the expressing emotions bit. I am absolutely terrible at expressing anything other than sheer rage or self pity. Glad to see you're getting better.
