I've been told too many times that I'd be fine without medication if I just did X thing

Really, where I am from everyone wants to drug you up. Not just for mental problems either. I had a doctor tell me I would have to use an inhaler everyday for the rest of my life. He never bothered to ask if I lived with smokers, only if I smoked. I do not, but my parents do. Since I've moved out close to a year and half ago I have not had a single asthma attack. I think that if I knew my parents smoking really was the only problem and not allergies, or some shit I would have worked on moving out a lot sooner.

You know what I hate? Nickelback!

I also really hate Nickelback (expect for the song the dude sings with Santana, that song is hot), but I find their music annoying and it sounds like dude is droning all the whole time.

If Led Zeppelin is the definition of solid rock, Nickelback is the antonym.

Uh, I hate that one my friends is like this. He believes that people with depression are just making up excuses or doing something wrong. I don't see what's so hard to understand that it's a chemical imbalance. I don't have clinical depression, but you can kinda even see the difference in the way that certain people act. Two of my friends have it, and listening to them, it seems uncontrollable without certain drugs. That's why I always try to be there for them, even when they don't always want it.

Well, Camanchi, take the time I was reading Lord of the Flies. I really like to get immersed into my reading/gaming/music/video, so I was reaching the end and I was sweating and crying, and bleeding (since I chew my fingers when I'm nervous). And then my little brother comes downstairs and jumps on the couch outside my room, "ruining the experience". I know it is stupid, but if I get the "experience ruined" I flip. I yelled at him and smacked the wall telling him to leave.

When I finished the book, and went upstairs I tried to talk calmly to him and he was doing his stupid thing where he makes animal growls if he's upset and I flipped out, whipping the book on the ground.

So it does get in the way of my life, like when I'm trying to sleep and I need absolute quiet and dark. Or when I reorganize my room for hours, and realize I haven't slept and I have to go to school. I also constantly redo assignments, if they're in some way displeasing to me.

There are little maneurisms of people that bother me a lot too. I somehow calm down at school, like all of their eyes would hate me if I weren't good enough.

But yeah, OCD does get in the way of my life. It's also the reason I don't do a lot of stuff, since I expect perfection the first time I do it.

Another example is when I get mad at myself for not crying at the right time in a movie, or laughing at a joke the wrong way. Or when I enter and reenter a room to get it perfect.

Most my Doctors knew my Mom (She worked ambulance, then ER for many years) so that may have been some of it, but they didn't hesitate to give me medicine when I needed it. But I meant other people without medical degrees. As I said, it's especially annoying when they start suggesting things that are just drugs, but because they're natural (or illegal) somehow it's fine.

Actually, my Mom was the biggest reason it took me years to get on medication although I needed it. She kept insisting that it was a stage, it was my hormones acting out and they'd re-balance soon, or that I just needed to suck it up and quit letting things bother me. The best choice I ever made was calling and making an appointment with my Doctor, then telling my Mom we're going, whether she likes it or not. It isn't normal to think how sad it is that jumping from the second floor of a building will ONLY break your legs.

My Mom also smokes and I have asthma, but I never had any real issues, except when my allergies are acting up or I have a bad cold which is trying to enter my chest (I get bronchitis often). But usually Mom will cut down on her smoking at those times, or at least head somewhere else so I am not affected.

Naw, there's definitely a Chad Kroeger/Santana duet. You probably heard it and just mistook it for Carlos Santana jamming with an angry border collie.

Not too derail the angst and rant (hey that almost rhymes) put forth in this topic, but I'm very sure the guy from Nickelback never played a duet with Santana, so you can only mean Rob Thomas who did the song Smooth back in the late 90s. There were some other people that he collaborated with him in the Supernatural album, none which are Chad Kroeger. Not that I could blame you since the music Matchbox 20 and his band plays whined the same anyway

There is this:


Unless you were being funny...then I'm sorry.

Was that off of Supernatural, or did Santana make ANOTHER record where he plays with a bunch of different people? One was enough!

[Mr. Faptastic]

Santana must be pretty hard up, because it seems like he'll collaborate with ANYONE for, like, half a sandwich and a line of coke.

I just got back from Borders. Typically when I go to the book store, I only visit two sections - philosophy and social sciences. Either of these sections have been gradually shrinking over the last few years; it's becoming harder and harder for me to find interesting or important books because what is left of these sections is quickly becoming filled with ridiculous garbage. "365 Awesome Sex Positions" is not social science. Or the various "X and Philosophy" books that make me want to scream, most notorious of which (in my opinion) is "World of Warcraft and Philosophy." Let it be known that I will think less of anyone who owns this book.

[Deleted]

The Matrix and Philosophy is pretty bad, too. As is Star Wars and Religion.

[Ike]

There are a fuckton of those books. "The Simpsons and Philosophy," "The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy," "Twilight and Philosophy*"
