when i was hospitalized (yep im a freak!) there was some people who hopelessly relied on their psychiatrist and were so medicated they talked like 20 words per minute and looked like at any minute they would either fall asleep or drool. one was taking electroshock therapy. she was like "you should try it! it raises seratonin levels!"
yes but your brain is BEING FRIED!
one kid around my age chased his girlfriend who became a hooker to New York and said he was manic and couldn't help it. ive been manic and theres no way you could pay attention to a map to get there!!

but all of  these people acted like they just "couldn't help it" here's something i heard a lot "i just accept im different from other people. im bipolar. i take my medication, just like a diabetic takes insulin" why relate that to diabetes! there are way too many alternative treatments to get caught in the psychiatrists web. especially if you never fit in with people in general. then being told you have a chronic mental disease? that alone should/could drive people to kill themselves.

why do we jump on the lithium train so quickly nowadays?

Haha, exactly. You essentially said: "Come on, that's a good reason to kill yourself!"

my cousins dad was bipolar and prolly schizo. he wasn't but he learned the weirdness from his dad and is pretty much a recluse nowadays.

that sort of thing can't be treated with restraints and pills.

i never said any of that is a good reason to kill yourself im saying being told of something like that, that you'll be depressed all your life unless you take pills that could in theory make you worse (i said b4 2 almost made me hang myself).
so to some it could be a death sentence!

Maybe if you are fatalistic. Just because you have some chemical imbalance in your brain, or some weird issue doesn't mean you will be depressed all your life -- Unless you base your entire sense of self-worth on you being just like everyone else, that is.

Do you even know what schizophrenia is?
And weirdness is not a fucking mental illness.

Be alone? WE'RE ALL ALONE. We are born alone and we will die alone, get with the picture.
