Well admittedly the vast majority of those years I didn't have (much of) a choice. But yes they have helped in their own ways (my therapist in my mid teens helped defuse my relationship with my mother quite effectively). It's more the grand scheme of things. All these years later I still have the same questions, doubts, insecurities, etc that I've had since about 7th or 8th grade. The main progress on that front has been identifying the issues, but little of it has been solved. And these past few months I feel like I've effectively hit a wall where I'm not sure my therapist can help me anymore. I feel like what I need is someone who can convince me that my assessments and answers are wrong, because until that happens there's no where else for me to go, really.

Damage control! Damage control! DEFCON 3! Chris Brown has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
The rest of us bipolar folk need to hold a press conference letting the rest of the world know that the vast majority are in fact not violent woman-beating monsters. Bad enough we got to deal with Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen.

Bomby's romantic life in a nutshell:
*Bomby has just met a cute new girl at work, and is really getting along with her and having an enjoyable conversation*
Girl: I just moved here from Ohio, actually.
Bomby: What brings you to Wisconsin?
Girl: My fiancé got a job here.
Bomby's brain: of course
*the two of them continue to get along really well and she sticks by his side for a while and comes to find him to say random things throughout the rest of the shift*

Bomby, I keep hearing this same story over and over again. How does this keep happening to you?!

I honestly have no idea. At all. It's almost kind of humorous at this point. I don't actually really care that much about this particular girl right now though, just kind of more of an "aww shucks" type reaction.
But the Chris Brown thing is really bothering me though.

Chris Brown doesn't need Bipolar disorder to be a cock. He just is.
Though there are the recurring questions if getting beat up is just simply what Rihanna is into during sex play, but personally that kinda thing is a bit extreme for me.
Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

Chris Brown doesn't have Bipolar Disorder, he has Antisocial Personality Disorder (probably).

That moment when your life is put in perspective by someone you respect like family saying "I'm surprised you've never tried to run away" and the only answer you can think of is "Where would I run to?".
I can't go to a place with a decent amount of people without freaking out, I start to panic if another person touches me, I have no friends to speak of, I'm constantly being blamed for things I did not do, I have no one who'll believe what I say, and I keep getting told the stuff I make be it drawings or stories are total crap.
I hate my life, but what else is new?
Edit:You know I really can't complain though because their are people with much worse lives.

Been having issues with my desktop.
System locks up randomly and reboots giving me a "Hyper transport sync flood error has occurred" message after post has completed. Now this is an issue that has popped up from time to time but it seems to be getting worse... as it did it three times yesterday.
I've scoured the net and did as suggested (Bumped my NB speed up from 2000 MHz to 2200) in an attempt to fix the problem, but only time will tell if that does anything to help it. Worst case my motherboard is dying (And has been for awhile) If any of you guys have any trouble shooting suggestions that'd be awesome. This problem is really hard to nail down from what I've read and it can be a number of things causing it.

Continuing from my last post, yep my shoulder is in constant pain. Not really sure what that means, but as an RML add-on I managed to score some (non-prescribed) painkillers.

Good. Fucking. God.
Pardon my French people, but these last few days have been getting worse and worse for me for both class AND work. The patients we have are UNBEARABLE, OVER-DEMANDING, AND ARE DRIVING ME INSANE!!! Every shift, I spend 8 FUCKING hours running back and forth between patients rooms helping them with EVERY LITTLE DETAIL THEY CAN THINK OF!
"I need to go to the bathroom." "Can you give me a shower?" "Are you busy? No? Then can you adjust the entire TV set?"
And when I finish barely with one patient, 2 MORE CALL!! I didn't even sit down or EAT AT ALL DURING THESE PAST SHIFTS!!! AND WHAT'S WORSE, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO CLOCK OUT AT 10PM, BUT I DON'T GET OUT UNTIL SOMETIME PAST MIDNIGHT CAUSE THEY WON'T LET UP AND WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LEAVE UNTIL THE "JOB" IS DONE AND THEY'RE ALL IN BED.
I'M TOO DANG EXHAUSTED AFTER EVERY SHIFT, THAT I CRASH INTO BED, THAT I WAKE UP JUST WHEN MY SHIFT STARTS AGAIN AND I HAVE TO START THE WHOLE DAMN THING AGAIN.
I CAN'T FUCKING TAKE THIS ANYMORE, AND IT'S ONLY BEEN 3 SHIFTS!!

Yea I've heard patients can be quite inconsiderate of the staff at medical places.
What's this about only being 3 shifts though? Haven't you worked there for a while or is this somewhere new? Might be time to take a day or two off if you can for relaxation?

Thanks guys, it means a lot to me. And sorry for venting like that yesterday, I was just REALLY tired and pissed.
And yes CJD, I've worked there for about 4 years now. It's just that these new patients together on this one hall I've been assigned to are EXTREMELY demanding and CONSTANT. They don't give you much time to work on anything else. As I said, when one of them calls and you help them, another one calls and you have to keep it up. Not to mention other duties you have to attend to, such as passing out waters, writing in therapy times, checking vitals, etc... It's really, really taxing. I just hope that they get better and the hall calms down a bit, cause this is the best job I can get before my nursing program starts this fall. :P
And thankfully, I do have a 3-day weekend coming up....unfortunately, I'm going to be needing to spend ALL that time working on a 5-page-Single-Spaced Sociology Paper due this Friday.
Fun.

I came home from work last night to find that the likely lads that my next door neighbour had engaged to put up a fence around his front garden had put a spade through the phone cable that runs along the boundary. Twice.
So while we wait for BT to get their act together, we're offline at home, which makes my usual level of remote working infeasible, let alone any mere entertainment.

Damn, that's pretty sucky. I would suggest putting a shovel through them twice, but...actually, yeah, just put a shovel through them.

Are the cables not sheathed, in your area? I recall when we were putting in our sprinkler system, we hit a fairly chunky cable wrapped in steel meshing. I can only assume that was the copper for the phone/internet.
Just be glad they didn't hit an electrical mains (if you have buried mains).
