Title: [attention whoring] So I went to see a therapist last night
Post by: Martinus on October 26, 2012, 05:16:04 AM
I learned I have low self esteem, the initial stages of depression/burn out syndrome and proto-alcoholism.  :homestar:

I'll chant "he wants your money" and "Languish already told you most of this"

:P

I'm exactly like that except the "proto" part.

I suspect you could apply it to 90% of the western population nowadays.

Well it depends how you define alcoholism. I don't get drunk but have a tendency to drink one-two glasses of wine (half a bottle) after work to switch off the control thingie in my brain.

I'm a perfectionist, workaholic, with bouts of insomnia and outbursts of anger. Like the guy on the "Newsroom".

QuoteGay men are six times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers.

Languish could only be so lucky.

How many attempted suicides we have on Languish?

If only one is heterosexual, this means that all Languish gays should follow the suit.

That comforts me. I'll never be able to commit suicide because there isn't 6 gay men living in my apartment to follow the statistic.

Maybe, then, you should a) move to a friendlier gay nation b) stop dating poor 20 years old.

I don't think this has much to do with my personal life - rather it's about work / life balance (so personal life only in so far that I don't have much time for any). :P

Yeah using booze to manage your brain is probably not a good thing.  I hope this will help you out Marty...the therapy not the drinking.

I've more or less given the booze up nowadays (primarily as part of a move towards a healthier diet). What is interesting is that now I drink only rarely I notice the huge effects it has on my mood/mental attitude. What started as a calorie reducing plan is becoming something close to teetotalism. It is all rather shocking  :(

What I'm getting at, Marti, is that you might be surprised how much the booze is depressing you. Give it up for 3 or 4 weeks and see how you feel.

***analrapist business card***

Reminds me of the time I misprinted a visiting physician's ID badge.  He returned it two days later after he noticed a parent's alarmed look on her face.

What can I say, "Pediatric Neurology" and "Pediatric Necrology" look so much alike.  Figured it was just a new discipline.

"Pediatric" and "pedophilic" look somewhat similar too ...  :D

Gonna steal Guller's thunder and point out that this doesn't mean there are six times as many gays who have attempted suicide due to their smaller numbers.

There's nothing objectively wrong with you Marcin. You're an asshole but eh, so is most of humanity. You work very long hours at your desk monkey job and you most certainly drink too much in order to switch off once you leave work. Eating shit "food" on the go while dodging never-ending Tetris blocks of deadlines probably takes as big a toll as well.

I'd suggest you find a good woman to cook for you.  :lol:

It would work wonders for Mart I think. I don't see how the cure could be less than 100% effective.
