Anyone else here suffer from mental illness?

[MrSquished]

Approximately 2.6% of the US population over 18 is bipolar. That's a lot of people. 82.9% of those cases are severe. Up to one in five bipolar people commit suicide. Depression affects just over 6% of the US population, with varying levels of severity.

Bi-polar can start in childhood or develop later in life but usually around 25. But as late as 40 or 50. I was not properly diagnosed until my mid thirties. Everyone just said I had chronic mild depression. I'm talking like multiple mental health professionals completely fucked up my diagnosis over more than a decade. It wasn't like I even had the milder form of bi-polar, I have the worst kind bi-polar 1 with rapid cycling. It's borderline criminal. Do your fucking job as a mental health professional.

Anybody else suffer from an ailment? There are hundreds of you users on ATOT so the numbers say some of you fuckers must be something.

 

[Mayne]

nope.

 

[disappoint]

Everyone here suffers from mental illness including me. Fortunately I don't have mental illness but we all suffer from Mayne's mental illness every time he drunk posts. Especially the mods. I can turn this place off whenever I want but the mods have to show up, read and deal with his nonsense.

I'm just teasin you Mayne, but seriously, drink water instead.

I wish ..... then finally I'd be able to cash in on some of them government money checks. 1.2 years without sex has got me pretty fvcked up right now though, no females in the San Francisco bay area will give me any pussy.

I did get the chance to meet someone who faked his way into that sh*t though. He got loaded on a bunch of meth then ran out onto a freeway and proceeded to play chicken with cars ..... guess that was enough for a mental health professional to write him of as mentally insane and unable to work. Has a kid, respectable looking wife and such ..... no place to live homeless and sh*t but hey, that's what these chicks wanna fvck on these days I guess.

I could probably get disability for my illness but I have no desire to go that route. I'd rather tough it out in the real world.

That guy sounds crazy. Like he might legitimately deserve disability.

I'm about the same with sex. It's depressing. I had a chance last night but I just wasn't attracted to her face enough. Body was dope.Considering girls were throwing themselves at me from my late teens to early thirties this new state of things is depressing. My advice is to never turn 35. Although at 39 I picked up a super hot 29 year old on the train. When I told her my age she gave a shocked face, she thought I was in my early thirties. We did date for awhile. Only George Clooney gets better with age. He is a fucking magician.

Or gets forced into marriage for being a gigantic slut ..... in any case anyone on enough meth looks cynically insane.

Feel better.

Yeah I did meth once ever. That shit was crazy. It's like cocaine on crack. I avoided it purposely after. Meth and heroine are the ones you want to avoid. Some people can get fucked on cocaine - I've seen a couple heads blow through tens of thousands of dollars on cocaine. Like over a 100 grand in like 2 years. That's a lot of fucking coke. Of course they were also buying it for others at the same time.

One guy I was good friends with for awhile had a large inheritance. It took him 10 years but he blew through it. Now he got arrested for breaking into homes and stealing stuff. He was clean for like 5 years but relapsed. Sad story.

I did a lot of drugs from 19-26. Lots of ecstasy, LSD and ketamine. Then I just quit. Always hated mushrooms.

Yah mon it's a slippery slope. Either you grow out of it or you never do. I was big into the rave scene with a bunch of friends for 6 years. Most grew out of the drug use like myself, but some died or just never got out of it. Heroin is the biggest culprit. Cocaine just drains your bank account, heroin kills you.

Most became successful professionals but a few just fell behind.

6% depression? sounds ridiculously low

anyway, didn't I read somewhere recently that around 20% suffer from mental illness of some sort. That sounds low too

Yeah I googled it and checked a number of sites and the numbers were consistent. The depression was 6.7%. I didn't check things like anxiety or panic attacks. Just depression and bi-polar. I'm sure the numbers would go up including anxiety and panic attacks.

 

[MrSquished]

With bi-polar the manic is definitely better than the depression. Some downfalls of manic are sexual promiscuousness or extreme shopping sprees. Some people are married and then find themselves in Atlantic City fucking anything that moves and need to call their spouses to come get them. Or spending so much fucking money it's a downfall. But it's much better than being depressed. I never got that manic where I found myself in a hotel fucking prostitutes. I was just a cocky high energy guy. The depression is just brutal. Do yourself a favor, don't be depressed. It's very not pleasant. It's downright unpleasant.

This coming from a guy who killed himself. I loved Robin Williams. I think Dead Poet's Society was one of the greatest movies ever. Maybe if he drank he wouldn't have killed himself. It would have numbed the pain.

 

[Zanovar]

Try jogging/light weights. decent diet(maybe vits for a few months).anyways jogging/running will help imo.just sayin.

 

[Naer]

Nah i just play one online

 

[Cappuccino]

how to cure mental illness? ''its all in the head'' same with depression there's no cure its the individual.

 

[Mayne]

robin williams has caused me more issues than his actual suicide. pretty bad shit to pass on to your generation and people that looked up to you.

yah mon that was a sad event. he was such a good actor. i loved his movies. good will hunting. the birdcage. dead poets society. the fisher king. patch adams. the fisher king. the guy was a classic. nonstop good shit. he was a top performer. it's really sad what happened to him. he must have been a torn up guy. he was probably bi-polar, to be that intense in movies he was probably manic as fuck.

 

[Mayne]
