> Just have to be different, huh? You Centralers!
>oh, yes
... ... "<to tune a song i can't place> Austin, Texas, she's my home!"
... ... <oh, i remember!
... (sur-lexapro-prise!)>
... "Dirty Water", at the end of a chorus, it goes something like, "but i love that dirty water ... oh, boston, you're my home" , i think
... ... "Frustrated women! Have to in by twelve o'clock." ... ... just an old song i used to know .. not really that good a song ... but fun> > this posting life can be such a freaky thing because we can get hung up on our posters' response/non-response
> > ... ... better to let the posts go out ... ...
> > ... ... and just let the good vibes come back if they want to ... ...
>
> How very Buddhistish, or something.rolling With the punches
... kinda buddhistic-ish-esque... never let 'em see you sweat !
... less buddh-whatever>
> > only my gp ... ... the 1st time she saw me to give me a physical ... ... (i was being a good sport and told her that my wife thought i might be depressed) ... ... my gp, "mousumi chanda-kim, md" prescribed 10 mg of lexapro

> Wow, that's quite a name. Typical presentation, actually - "my wife thinks I might be depressed" - a lot of people don't actually come out and say it directly. So... if you don't mind me asking, why DID your wife think you might be depressed?
>her mister fun Jim was getting surly or surlier ... ... and getting less and less .. ... .. motivated ... less follow-through ... way less productive .. ... .. fussier about it all ... .... less buddhistic .... .... i'm still not overwhelmed by the evidence ...
... but i was a tad on the dour side ...
.. ... .. i had some spiritual issues that were overtaking me, to my benefit ... i was all set to join my fav flavor of buddhism called nyingmapa ... ... culmination of decades of things i was/am slowly working on spiritually ... the nyingma dharma master was coming to town ... he's a big deal and coming here was an unexpecterd and very rare event, so i was up for it ... ...... ... day before lama pema norbu was to arrive ... both of my parents died in an auto accident ...
and i had to go to florida ... ... my relation to nyingmapa remains unresolved ...
... anyway, i think sylvia saw a cumulative deteriortation ... ... i might have been on a bummer ... ... also because my dad was my best friend ... ... and it is weird that there would be this seeming conflict with my spiritual aspirations.> > i figure that the beneficial endorphins, hormones, neurotransmitters we get from laughing probably make it the best medicine ... and if we are laughing the right amount, would they have us take meds ? ... but not laughing TOO much ... (!!)
>
> Laughing too much might be indicative of needing meds. Or, I guess it could just be one of those annoying people who laugh all the damn time and it really gets on your nerves. Or laugh inappropriately at things that really aren't funny. I don't know about not laughing enough. I think that many people laugh quite a bit but are really depressed too. Like me. I think I laugh a normal amount. I find humor in many situations - or should we say, I find many situations just so ridiculous that they seem almost humorous.
>aye, you got me ... again
... ... i laugh sometimes out of nervous tension
... ... and we don't want that "inappropriate affect" label either
... ... ... it is the absurity of life that makes me laugh the most ... like the absurdity of using our pBab for a therapist ... absurd> > i slept a lot last night and i feel better for it .. .. .. also i have been trying to push water and i think i'm almost hydrated now .. .. .. drink more water ... tastes good! ... ... this is what i'm crediting with fewer headaches for me ...
>
> I usually drink a lot of water. I think maybe it does help because I don't get headaches much.
>
> > What do you like to take for headaches? ... i use ibuprofen.
>
> I used to take ibuprofen at the first hint of a headache. But then I thought I was overusing it. So I really cut back. Now, I usually try to go for a little while without taking anything. Then if it doesn't get better, I take whatever. Acetaminifen would be my first choice, but I'll take ibuprofen or aspirin.i abuse ibuprofen like a fiend ... ... i take it like a supplement 600 to 800 mg a day most days ... ... i still have good liver function ... ... should i be more concerned, you think ?
