Because just over a month ago I wasn't even on medication. Now we've doubled my intake within a matter of weeks. 

 

Something to do with a chemical imbalance in my brain.

 

Which I'm not sure how they ascertained that information without doing any blood test or ink blot responses.

 

They apparently can decide if you need more meds from talking to you and seeing how you respond... trying to find the right balance in you

Haha yeah i wasnt up to that bit at the time. I bet you were confusion the artificial horizon with the NDB scope.

 

Haha, yeah.

I have zero ideas what you guys are going through, but I hate the sound of taking meds for it - especially when they start upping the doses and shit.

Because I tell this woman that I got trollied and messed around with people ten years my junior, and she just says that it's good I'm acknowledging it. The ? Someone should be punching me in the face. 

Guess she is trying to not blaming yourself and judging you approach...

Shit mate if thats all you want, ill happily punch you in the face. I am going to have to charge you $200/hr to do it though. Just so it seems like legit therapy.

Yeah, but I went to the doctor, ONCE, and said I was feeling a bit shit and that alcohol made it better. I got a prescription on the spot after about a four minute consult.

 

Now apparently if I stop taking them I'll need a week or more off of work because of the chemical changes.

 

THEFUCK?

First meeting is usually pretty standard. As gay as it sounds, you'll only get out what you put in, or put out there. You know what I mean. 

 

I am as candid as possible. I just tell them everything...they can deal with it.

The problem with this, is I've seen you run, and if you fight like you run, I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping the $200.

Them apprentice wages sound about right for a 3rd/4th year Adam in most 'larger' companys. Even more if you smash out some OT


Almost home time

[peteRS]

I'm off, will report back...

[skillionaire]

Also, I'm not paying for therapy or meds, I'm on a government program, so everything is bulk billed and the meds are like $13 for a month (so yes, I'm paying that I guess.)

 

Good to hear, Pete.

 

I give zero fucks about talking to people as well.

The meds will force your body to produce more of the chemicals you need, but its not like turning a switch on and off... for them to even work it could take up to 6 weeks... so coming off them will be gradual... and if you come off them too fast, your body won't be able to cope and you will be worse off for a while than when you first started.

 

Telling them you feel yuck and alcohol makes you better is what someone who has a dependency on external things to make them feel normal, so it could be a sign of an imbalance, your body not giving you enough of something you need to be ok...

Therapy, not fighting. Its different. Ill show you sometime.
