I am not a psychiatrist and this is not medical advice but, look, you're thinking about it wrong. Suppose your heart had something wrong with it that caused the blood vessels to not pump correctly some of the time, and suppose there was some kind of medication you could take to make it work right. Would you take it? Of course you would, you wouldn't even think twice about it. Well, is your brain really much different? It's an organ just like your heart, and it's just not quite working in the way it should because of a chemical imbalance or something. It doesn't reflect on you at all, it's just your brain not producing the right amount of the right chemicals for some reason. Now, if it was just a minor or occasional thing, you'd probably be right that it's not worth taking medication for - but it's clearly affecting your quality of life to the point where you can't function properly in the real world. If you had a sprained ankle, you'd go to a physical therapist; if you had a skin problem, you'd got see a dermatologist; if you've got a psychological problem, why wouldn't you at least try seeing someone who can help you with it?

Now, of course there are other issues with psychoactive drugs, but that's what the doctor is there for. Again, I'm not a psychiatrist, nor do I have first-hand experience dealing with depression - honestly, I'm not qualified to talk about this subject at all - but the things you post really make me worry and I think you should do something about it.

I was going to post something really cynical but decided not to.

Woke up this morning thinking "Hey maybe this Valentine's day won't be as awful as the previous ones." Wrong. On the drive up every station had love songs playing which always bums me out. Soon as I walk onto my campus for classes there are tons of couples walking around holding hands and making out. Walking back from class I sniffled a little because i have a bit of a cold, and some guy with his arm wrapped around his girlfriend stops and says "Sucks to be alone huh?" then walked away laughing. Not only that but whenever I talk about why I'm aggrivated this time of year my friend says "Oh I hate when people complain about this holiday. It's only a holiday" He's been in a relationship for over 2 years now. Valentines day, I tried not to be bitter but this crap happens every year.

Seriously?

Wow.

And that guy was Ixion.

To be perfectly fair, roughly 50% of all modern music is a form of love song, so its not too hard to have an all-love-song commute even on a normal day.

Points two and three are bad, I admit.

What a !

The girlfriend must not be much better either cause I'd flat out smack someone who was that pointlessly mean to someone else.

Forget them, Seraku! Find yourself some chocolate covered strawberries and make the day about you instead!

Dark chocolate!

There is a box of Dunkin Dounut chocolate muchkins sitting on my kitchen counter. They've been there almost 24 hours. I have not seen my room mate at all in this time. I am extremely tempted to start eating them every time I pass by. o___o

Sylandra... are you in my Chem class? I also just had my first Chem test today (Valentine's Day)... >.>

Shamarah put things much more eloquently then I could. As someone who has experience with said types of issues his advice is pretty sound.

I don't really have too much to be dissatisfied about today. There are things in the game that irk me but I've come to accept that it is part of the game. I wish people would be more honest but that applies to the real world as well.

My grandmother used to make them. She made so many wonderful things with strawberries. The little town where she lived has a Strawberry Festival every year. I miss her.

My nanny and I would take some of the hundreds of toblerone bars I usually amass from christmas, new years and my birthday, melt it in the microwave, apply the melted stuff to the strawberries, stick em in the fridge and eat them later. Was lovely.

Remember Office Space? Remember the scene where he's sitting at the hypnotist's, and he says that his anxiety is just building up, day after day, and he describes it where everyday is the worst day of his life? That's where I'm at right now.

I ended up having to sleep for seven hours in a row today when I was supposed to be doing work because I got one my patented migrane/tension/sinus triple combo headaches. Now my teachers think I'm a bum, I have so much work to do, and it still feel like someone drove a screwdriver into my head.

Do it! When I've had roommates, it was understood that anything left on the counter was community food. Obviously your roommate is trying to share with you.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they were leftover from something and he put them there and totally forgot they existed, except... but see I'm kind neurotic. The thoughts that go through my head are something like "Oh man what if he got those ahead of time for some party like for a bunch of kids and had an exact amount so that each kid would get one and then I ate one and one kid doesn't get a muchkin? o__O"

Just eat the damn thing.
