"drug-induced insomnia" = "just stopped doing so much coke?"

so yeah, nevermind me, ask a bunch of non-expert non-professionals!

So you're basically assuming that EVERYONE on this board is a non-expert/non-professional. Next you'll tell me all people surfing the net are sexually deprived socially inept nerds or something. Way to go, Hstencil. Secondly you don't need to be a professional to have a well-based opinion on this matter (or any other matter).

So, HStencil, whenever you need an opinion, do you call the 0900-EXPERT-R-US line disregarding what anyone else says?

I think he was only responding to the idea that you shouldn't ask doctors at all.

Ms Misery, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:03 (eighteen years ago)

What a great thread. I love ILX.

Rock Hardy, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:04 (eighteen years ago)

It seems par for the course for ILx

Ms Misery, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:05 (eighteen years ago)

I know, Sam, I was overreacting a bit. Hurting was asking some experiences and that's what he gets as a snappy reply (from Hstencil). I really think people should have a bit more tact sometimes. Here and everywhere else.

stevienixed, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:11 (eighteen years ago)

hey look! the human fucking race!

retards!

OK, now I think that the lithium is making *you* hallucinate, because that was never said on this thread. I don't know how "ask other people with first hand experience because doctors don't know everything" got twisted into that, but hey, you've been using me as your straw man for nigh on a decade, so why stop now?

Masonic Boom, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:19 (eighteen years ago)

Did I mention your name Kate?

Pretend you don't know who I am. I'm sure you'd agree life would be more pleasant for both of us if we were strangers.

Ms Misery, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:20 (eighteen years ago)

WOW SO UHH... ADD. I HAVE IT IT'S REALLY FUN KIND OF LIKE AN XBOX

Will M., Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:21 (eighteen years ago)

see you guys later, i'm gonna go tab some acid.

hstencil, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:27 (eighteen years ago)

*regrets not letting this thread die* :-(

stevienixed, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:28 (eighteen years ago)

I want to know if Will is giving the XBox a thumbs up or thumbs down.

Ms Misery, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:28 (eighteen years ago)

depends on what he just injected. (lame joke, i know)

stevienixed, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:34 (eighteen years ago)

Are you calling Will an IV drug user?? Now that's low. ;)

Ms Misery, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:34 (eighteen years ago)

I was being ADD, all making useless associations based on the things in my head hey guys look a dog!

Will M., Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:35 (eighteen years ago)

people are touchy about stuff sometimes.

darraghmac, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

Q: how many kids with ADD does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: WANNA RIDE BIKES??

My ADD keeps me constantly clicking to the "now playing on Sirius" tab, choosing a new song, refreshing ILx, turning back to my CSS and adding something. . .repeat every 60 seconds.

argh. . . .

Ms Misery, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:37 (eighteen years ago)

lol @ laurel

sanskrit, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:39 (eighteen years ago)

My ADD keeps me from living life above the poverty line. It's lots of fun.

Deric W. Haircare, Thursday, 30 August 2007 18:45 (eighteen years ago)

I just would ike to point out that when I met Kate St. Clair in person, in real life, in a london pub, she came off exactly the fucking insane homeless bonkers bag lady archetype I thought she would. I vote hard to the left but I don't suffer a fool for very long. I suspect the rest of the FAP crowd felt sorry for me while I endured your lecture on the Masonic conference rooms of London, but I've learned my lesson not to speak for others. To cover my own sentiments, how about a big FUCK YOU YOU'RE PRETTY STUPID. Congrats on getting to open for an overrated pack of 40something talentless bithces that one time, that is something the rest of us will never get to do.

El Tomboto, Thursday, 30 August 2007 19:43 (eighteen years ago)

also I hate you and think you're an imbecile.

El Tomboto, Thursday, 30 August 2007 19:44 (eighteen years ago)

Oy this thread

Laurel, Thursday, 30 August 2007 19:45 (eighteen years ago)

i don't get the injected joke, can someone spell it out for me?

Will M., Thursday, 30 August 2007 19:52 (eighteen years ago)

I think Nath was talking about drug taking. Maybe. So that XBox, yay? nay?

Ms Misery, Thursday, 30 August 2007 19:54 (eighteen years ago)

I am going to buy one before Xmas so they better be pretty good!

Will M., Thursday, 30 August 2007 19:57 (eighteen years ago)

people are real touchy about stuff sometimes

darraghmac, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:02 (eighteen years ago)

Those Wii folx are pretty belligerent.

Ms Misery, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:02 (eighteen years ago)

CAN WE CALL IT BY ITS TRUE NAME PLEASE, THE CHRISTBOX 360

Will M., Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:03 (eighteen years ago)

Who'd have thought an ILX discussion of mental-health pharmaceuticals would wind up like this?

nabisco, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:03 (eighteen years ago)

or just an ILX thread about (pseudo)* mental health

*optional

You mean turning to video game systems?

Ms Misery, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:05 (eighteen years ago)

my doctor prescribed the xbox for my relationship difficulties.

darraghmac, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:09 (eighteen years ago)

My therapist actually told me to use Guitar Hero to help with my anxiety.

Ms Misery, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:10 (eighteen years ago)

I will never ever understand Americans. I really don't. I don't get the cues so don't know when they are joking or not.

i don't get the injected joke, can someone spell it out for me?

You compared yourself (or rather your ADD) with an Xbox. So I made the inject (drugs/games) comment. It was a really crappy joke... I guess, I'm too belgian stupid to make jokes.

My therapist actually told me to use Guitar Hero to help with my anxiety.

Roffle. Oh god, I can't stop laughing. How come my husband wants to smash his "perfectly tuned plastic guitar" all the time.

stevienixed, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:12 (eighteen years ago)

Is he not that good at it? It was a fun activity for both of us until G realized I was loads better at it. Now he never wants to play. :(

Ms Misery, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:13 (eighteen years ago)

Oh he's VERY good at it. Top something or other. :-)

stevienixed, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:14 (eighteen years ago)

He's moved on to Bioshock which, I must say, is one fantastic looking game. OMG. Drool and so forth.

stevienixed, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:14 (eighteen years ago)

inject games? now i really don't get it-- bioshock reference?

Will M., Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:15 (eighteen years ago)

americans inject video games into our brains now.

Mr. Que, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:16 (eighteen years ago)

Never mind, like I said, I'm crap at jokes. Insert/inject. Argh, damn, Will, do you really want to point out how thickheaded I am. ;-)

stevienixed, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:16 (eighteen years ago)

british people have no sense of humor

Mr. Que, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:17 (eighteen years ago)

ohhhhh haha. apparently i am more interested in pointing out how thick-headed I am, because I really didn't get it and wanted to get it. And I often don't get jokes (see economics thread for further evidence).

xpost I'm Canadian Mr. Que

Will M., Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:18 (eighteen years ago)

(which I guess makes me British once-removed so your statement still stands)

Will M., Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:18 (eighteen years ago)

Is Americanism a real disorder?

kenan, Thursday, 30 August 2007 20:19 (eighteen years ago)
