I decided to start a thread when your not yourself, like now. Regretfully, in some ways, I'm under the influence. Luckily, I'm a happy drunk. I kinda gave up alchohol for Anna mostly about a couple of months ago. Haven't talked to her since I've been back. So many, many things on my mind. Don't want to burden you all though. Figured we could talk when your not yourself as well.

You holding up ok? If you need to unload, feel free to message me either here, or on yahoo or AIM messenger (There should be my IM' names on my buttons). I may not really know you well, but sometimes during those periods one shouldn't be alone. I had that kind of issue last night, I made a bad decision, had some problems with my best friend, and was going through caffeine withdrawal. It was really late and there was no one I could talk to.
I've never been drunk, but I've been under the influence of depression plenty of times. I'm actually I guess cyclothymic which is similar too bipolar in the respects of high and low phases, but they're much more spread out and you never hit actual mania (I just get excited and happy smile ).
When I hit depressive episodes and I get suicidal they usually happen late at night and I'm not myself. Anyone who tries to call me or im' me I might yell out, scream at, etc. I will feel depressed for no reason and dozens of thoughts about how to kill myself will come into my mind. I become very self destructive, and in the past it's manifested in me picking up sharp objects and ripping at my flesh. It is definitely an altered state of reality, it's hard to explain unless you've been there.
So I stay away from drugs smile I hate being altered from my depression, I don't need booze or anything else to do it.

I'm usually pretty content. Once in a while I get in a bit of a mood and feel 'blah' for quite a while. Nothing really seems to cheer me up until it passes. The mind is a funny thing sometimes. I avoid alcohol by choice, most of the time. I see no point in getting drunk.
(I am not sure I understand this topic completely)

I'm not drunk at the moment -but I see no harm in having a few drinks every now and then -it works for me at least...
Anyway, you don't need to be drunk to be able to talk to us archangel...if you need to talk, just do it! Feel free to pm me if you don't feel comfortable posting in the guild about whatever is bothering you!

I also don't drink, no big deal. I do have depression and anixeity attacks alot. I need medication to keep on an even keel. The anixeity attacks wake me up in the middle of the night thinking I am dying and I can't breath. If I don't get my meds, well I want to die and can't sleep. I have gone days on no sleep because I was afraid I would die if I slept. We all need someone to talk to. As you can tell Archangel there are lots of us here who care and will help you, if you need it. Just pm me and I will get back ASAP. You can also tell there are alot of us out there who at one time or another have been in your place. Alochol, drugs (legal-illegal) or any altered state can mess us up. We are all here for you and having the same problems. Good luck, many prayers and much love, Archangel. I realize the when you are at sea it can get worse. There is always someone her for you.

It's funny but when I drink wine I tend to get very quiet and just sit there HOWEVER give me a nice StoliGimlet or LavaFlow or Margarita and I can't stop talking.

Yup, not myself tonight. Just a teensy bit inebriated. It's midnight in Australia, its still 34 degrees celcius (about 92 degrees Fahrenheit I think) and the temperature doesn't look like dropping any time soon. Way too hot to sleep. Luckily, I have cold beer in the fridge (well, "had" might be more accurate - most of it is gone now). Considering sleeping in the back yard tonight. Maybe if I get drunk enough I wont feel the heat. I reckon it's worth a try....

Hm, not quite myself but I'm not intoxicated. Unless you count that lightness that comes just after a cigarette or two. I might be on Red Bull in a little bit. :shrug:
I just don't feel well, emotionally. You ever get that feeling that everything you thought you knew is wrong all of a sudden?

I never drink alcohol and never will.
But I'm not myself when it's that time of the month. I become incredibly weak and I hate it! scream

I don't drink because I'm underaged, but I can relate to relationship problems if anyone else has them at the time (I mean real relationships, not two-day high school break ups rofl ) because my boyfriend of nine considerably awesome months decided to give me the boot last October, and I'm still hooked to this day. I can't give up and let go because I know he still loves me, and he has even said so himself. sweatdrop I was living with him at the time, and it felt like we were married.

T.r.o I don't drink because I'm underaged, but I can relate to relationship problems if anyone else has them at the time (I mean real relationships, not two-day high school break ups rofl ) because my boyfriend of nine considerably awesome months decided to give me the boot last October, and I'm still hooked to this day. I can't give up and let go because I know he still loves me, and he has even said so himself. sweatdrop I was living with him at the time, and it felt like we were married. I know the feeling mate. I became separated in August after a 15 year relationship, and I don't think I will ever really accept that it's over. Even my daughter tells me to accept it but I just don't think you can give up on someone that easily. The mother of your child(ren) will always be special, no matter what happens. Initially I drowned my sorrows at the bottom of a bottle but I knew that was a slippery slide downhill so I haven't had a drink now for two weeks. Caffeine is now my (only) drug of choice! As a 37 year old Aussie bloke there is probably not much advice I can offer, but...: If you really think he loves you, and if you KNOW you love him, fight for your relationship. Get him to tell you why he ended it if he still loves you, and work on the problem(s). Communicate! And if you have no luck with that, move on. Don't waste too much time beating your head against a brick wall.

They say a man doesn't cry or show real emotion....
Is he not human and even though some are different , don't we still feel and hurt? I am asking this because it is time men start realizing that it is ok to hurt , cry and show emotion. Yes, we want our men strong and brave...but if they hurt we need to know. When you talk to a woman you are not talking to your father.....you are talking to someone that knows those feelings and knows how it hurts and understands. My husband cried once in front of me and still swears it didn't happen. How can a human go through life with all its pain and hurts and not shed a tear to release the pain?

I drink. *shrugs* I don't get shitfaced drunk mind you, but I enjoy beer and wine immensely. It's a great way for me to fall asleep and get my mind to start racing and I agree with what Ben Franklin said.
Generally, I don't blame outside influences or disorders for my behavior. That's all me. Although I was going through a blah phase last week and while I was inclined to say "It's the winter weather!" it's been proven that "winter depression" and PMS are vastly exaggerated.
Although with the blahs, I usually have to get over myself, take responsibility, and the best thing is having my hubby talk sense into me.

I don't drink.... but sometimes I wished I would just drink just so that my problems would go away for a bit... but I know better than that, so I don't... but I am glad there was a thread like this... because right now... lately... like the past week or so, I have been very down and its nice to have someone to potentially talk to about it.

A friend and I were talking about possibilities for my upcoming Bachelors Party(three more months!), and he suggested something that some friends of his told him about. A "VodkaMelon".
What you do is, take any Melon(I'm going to use a Watermelon), and drill holes on either side of it. Then you stick a bottle of Vodka in teh holes, and leave it in the fridge overnight.
By teh time teh party starts, teh Melon should have absorbed all teh vodka. Voila, you have a VodkaMelon!
