What's Bothering You? (The thread about what is bothering you.)

It's just not something to get that worked up over. Like the constantly "losing hope" comments.

I don't care if people self-diagnose that much, as long as they seek medical attention to confirm or deny the claims. Many people understand when they are actually depressed and seek help though.

The OCD self-diagonsis is rather something society thinks is okay, because it's fun to say "I have OCD" when you do not. People can get really sensitive over **** like that, and for good reason.

Um... it's hard in --1 post-- to go into all the topics you've just initiated..

hrrrm.......................


Constantly losing hope,   this is most likely the case because the pleasurable activities in our daily lives happen so often that it creates the illusion that a person should be consistently happy.  But happiness has a chemical cost on the brain, and it is not designed nor capable of perpetuation in such a state.

So, repeated bouts of emotional swings could be the consequence of our blessing.



As for self diagnosis, well we do it, on the things that are not enough of a problem to drive all the way to the doctors and wait for an hour in the waiting room..



What society thinks,  you have to be careful with this, because not all of society is at an equal level of expression and intellect.. 

The majority of people are not well educated.. even if many think they are.. this leads to a sinkhole of viewpoints, which is not conducive to productive resolutions..   Many times devolving into ineffectual arguments of problems which do not actually exist.

It's not a disorder, unless you folded the socks,  drove to work, then drove all the way back home half way there,  because you thought one of your white socks has picked up a little more red in the wash, and should now be organized with the other slightly red socks..

Then when you got to doing this, you realized, some are actually slightly more red, and would be more correctly termed salmon..

Then you went online to check color swatches of salmon and pink only to discover Burnt sienna..

Oh and you missed work that day..  / most important part.

the ocd thing is annoying as ****, I agree. in terms of depression, yeah a lot of people just make **** up, and as someone who actually has depression that annoys the **** out of me, but also on the off-chance that someone really does have it, denying that and totally dis-validating them to their face will usually make **** really awful. The only thing worse than a person who isn't depressed saying they're depressed is someone who actually is depressed being made to think that they're not, and therefore not getting the appropriate treatment.

The self-diagnosis annoys me because it trivialises real illnesses that real people have. It's all well and good saying "i'm a little OCD", but this extends to things like depression, like epilepsy, even PTSD where ****ing morons think they have PTSD from Twitter trolls. Like, who even are those people and what incredibly easy lives must they have lived that they think being attacked by people on the internet is as traumatising as what ACTUAL PTSD sufferers have been through.

But like trenz said, making people think they aren't depressed when they are, can be even more damaging.

I was raised by someone with PTSD, I have to agree with you on that. I mean, unless someone is trolled to the point of their computers getting hacked into, but even then is really isn't the same as what PTSD suffers go through.

NHS draws a solid line there. A person with clinical depression will get a treatment. Someone who is just in a *****y mood, won't. A veteran with PTSD will. Someone who says they got PTSD from Internet trolls won't, since the NHS doesn't cover for idiocy.

regardless of whether you think it's ridiculous to self-diagnose a mental illness, if you even have thoughts that you might be suffering from some sort of illness you should go to a doctor. that's what i did and i received the relevant treatment for my needs.

Hahahahaha..

Have you taken economics before ?

This is just how the system works..

There's no actual DOOM, humanity will survive just fine as a whole.


A Financial crash is just a natural re-balancing of the system.



The allocation of wealth is a bundling of Resources and Decisions.

We don't have the capacity to perfectly decide (as humans) the absolute correct distribution.

So, the best we can do is keep moving, and when something breaks, you write it off..  That's what printing money is..

That sucks. One of mine passed away a couple of weeks ago. It was the one I was closer to, and it hurt more because we went from a total ox to a rag of a man in just a couple of months. My other grandfather has been ill for years, so for him a feel a little more prepared, but the other was kind of a shock.

USPS tracking may suck, but I feel like they take slightly better care of stuff than the private companies.  I have certainly had bad experiences with all of the shipping companies, but I swear UPS must have soccer practice with their packages by the look of them when they arrive.

My campus post office doesn't have customs forms.  I take the package back to my desk and fill it out online.  I also buy postage online and print it out.  I take the package back to the campus post office.  They refuse to accept it because I didn't give them a copy of the customs form.  The form is attached to the package as part of the label.  But they want one to keep for their records.

What the ****?  I'm on hold with the USPS customer service right now trying to figure out if what they are doing is legal.

I always fill out customs forms online and drop things off at the post office, I have never been questioned about it. Of course this is at a regular post office but still.
