I always run everything through my finely tuned bullshit detector and I sure as hell know chicken shit from chicken salad.<br /> <br /> I know what you were trying to say and I am quite in agreement to a degree but in a place devoted to elevated mood and emotional disorders it would be great if you didn't make ridiculous statements - it's possibly the worst thing you could do. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/just-an-ordinary-depressive#post-10247 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 07:17:11 +0000 ClareBear 10247@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <br /> The acid from your tongue is not welcome here.<br /> </blockquote><br /> <br /> Who died and made <em>you</em> forum spokesperson?</blockquote><br /> <br /> Not me. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/just-an-ordinary-depressive#post-10242 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 05:25:35 +0000 plimmerian 10242@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ The non-sense is coming from other parts of this site, mainly from two individuals that I can see.<br /> <br /> yes, I didn't expect to be ripped to shreds trying to give alternative points of view.<br /> <br /> I don't mind people not agreeing with me and airing their opinions but this behaviour viewed so far is just down right rude! http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/just-an-ordinary-depressive#post-10240 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 05:16:55 +0000 AxmxZ 10240@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ What the hell were you expecting, a support group brimming over with hugs and cooing?

I was just disappointed to realise that I don't fit the manic section of depression, mine seems quite dull in comparison. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_eek.gif&quot; title=&quot;8-O&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> <br /> It is amazing to see that the response to it, as with mine, is to bombard your body with harmful man-made chemicals to stop you feeling any form of emotion be it good or bad.<br /> <br /> I still refuse to take any. Why should I be forced to pollute my body against my will when I believe so much more can be done to treat people before that stage. Medication should always be a last resort when all other options fail or are non-existant. I did try it by the way and it made me feel even more ill than when I wasn't on it and the doctor's response was, that I needed to give it time to work, the dosage needed to be increased. I'd have killed myself if I had stayed on them. My friend who had also tried them convulsed while on holiday with her friends, she was told to stop treatment immediately. </blockquote><br /> <br /> WTF are you talking about?<br /> <br /> Unless you're sectioned nobody is forcing you to take anything. If you need meds to stop the suicidal drive of chronic depression so you stay alive then I would say that's a good thing to do http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/just-an-ordinary-depressive#post-9932 Mon, 12 Feb 2007 23:25:41 +0000 Swannyriver 9932@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ My pills did me a world of good.<br /> I began to think diffrently.<br /> After a while (after being off them), I found my brain had been 'trained' to deal with some situations as if I were still on them.<br /> <br /> However, this was a while ago now and I find that I have slipped back quite badly. <br /> But still, as many of you here, you just deal with it.<br /> <br /> It was me who took my self to the doctor in the first place. She passed me on to Psychiatrist and psychologist.<br /> I was adamant not to you medication but I'm glad I did and may have to again, I guess. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/just-an-ordinary-depressive#post-1282 Fri, 29 Sep 2006 01:09:41 +0000 plimmerian 1282@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Just a point about your pole, it's not a case of being just manic and just depressed, there is a whole spectrum of states and something called hypo-manic, which is a kinda mixed state. </blockquote><br /> <br /> Thanks for enlightening me - despite being depressed at various degrees, probably for the whole of my life - I was never really aware of the different levels and spectrum of depression. Forgive my ignorance but I just though manic depression was a chronic stage of depression that wouldnt shift. I have never experienced manic depression, after watching the programme about Stephen Fry and the other sufferers and reading other posts here on the forum, I realise I am fortunate not to suffer the mania (or should that be unfortunate :-// &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; no offense).<br /> <br /> I am happy for you all to vote and rant, manic or depressed, I only did it to find out how many manic depressives where in here compared with people like myself who are just plain depressed! X-D <br /> <br /> I am feeling some what liberated now I am typing freely and sharing my depressive behaviour and educating myself in the process.<br /> <br /> Welcome one and all, let's go in peace!<br /> <br /> hugs,<br /> <br /> Ian.
