How about an update?
 

How can you reconcile being a practicing Christian with homosexuality? It's not your homosexuality I am objecting to either, it's the Christianity part...

And damn, things truly are sh*t in your country when it comes to giving those in need the medication they require. What happens if these medications are required for the wellbeing of the patient or even for the safety of others.

Ah f**k you b*tch...this is about the level of sensitivity I get to anything I post. I thought I'd continue the tradition.

Oh don't worry, he's suffering from terminal sandyvaginaism...

Developing a bad attitude, aren't you? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif

MrFun - I've had suicidal thoughts. Been with me since I got bullied throughout primary(elementary) and high school. Started having psychotic episodes about 2 years ago, ended up in hospital with a diagnosis of schitzophrenia, which is a later addition to ADD, PTSD, and Aspergers. In reality it isn't death I want, it's more a f**king break from all this stress and sh*t I go through. I want peace, happiness, maybe even a decent sleep, as I have vivid dreams every night. I'm on Valium, Prozac, Seroquel, Invega and Ativan. Still get anxious most days even with those drugs in me. So even though I may not be going through the exact same sh*t as you've been, if you need someone to talk to I know a number of groups on livejournal, and you can talk to me if you'd like too. I hope you feel better soon, just soldier on. Pray, know that you're loved by God (Jesus did die for everyone anyhow), and have an infinite source of love whenever you need it. I wish you well - MattBowron.

PS: My apologies for those who dislike Christianity.

You should never go cold-turkey off anti-depressants. Ease yourself off of them.

Going cold turkey can actually incur suicidal thoughts...

Be strong in your faith, you have people here to support you.

yes sir http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

I've gone cold turkey on anti-depressants (among others), and agree, it's not something that you should do. (Even though it worked for me, it was just dumb luck.) It's good you have friends to support you and feel comfortable talking about your issues as well. http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif

Best wishes Fun.

How much does the medication you're missing cost per month?

That is a good way of explaining it, Zoet.

That's a good deal. I did a search on pricing and $120 is pretty close. There are different dosages, 5mg - 20mg. I'm guessing you need elephant dosage. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

Have you thought of getting any job? Just to get some money, and also to keep yourself busy.

Once i learned the truth of the universe, I realized that killing yourself is a waste of time, all it does is give you temporary pain for a consistent problem. Besides one thing that always keeps me ticking along is what i call "morbid curiousity" of what will happen "next."

I'm not holding out for only my dream job, and nothing else. I'm applying for various types of work: clerical/office, public library, state government jobs, and even data entry jobs.

I'm thinking about getting back into adjunct teaching at a community college again. My dream job would be full-time community college teaching, but that's somewhere down the road.

Hang on MrFun. BTW, brave opening post.

Hence why he needs his meds. When he's lucid, he's a fine guy. When he's not, well, he's not such a fine guy.

This is like the pot calling the kettle a dumb****.

edit: Note that the pot is the only actual dumb**** in this scenario.

I don't have a problem living in a city in eastern Iowa - it's the fact that I'm out here in RURAL eastern Iowa still, that adds to my social isolation. I would have no problems moving back to Davenport, Iowa (part of Quad Cities area) as most of my good friends live there and I have lived there before for quite some time before I moved.

Have you tried looking for a job in a farm somewhere?
