Anything bothering you right now?

I spend minutes figuring out which smiley face to use because someone might get hurt if I accidentally use one that looks mean or is inappropriate for the situation..

Tell me about it. I have one person on my text list who sends me x's everytime she texts me. About six of them on each text. And at one point, I got a text back saying "YOU PUT LESS X's THAN ME!!! Do you hate me?" And it was just like whaatttttttt?????????

Not the same, sorry.

i thought i was the only person who did that, a lot can be read into which emoticon you use and thus misunderstandings can happen

I used the wrong emoticon in a chat on here once. The other person told me and I sorted it out and we moved on. The important thing is not which smiley face you use. You could spend forever trying to figure out which smiley face to use and what the other person's reaction might be depending on which smiley face you use when. The important thing is how you handle things in the unlikely even that someone does feel hurt because you accidentally used a smiley face that looked mean or was inappropriate for the situation.

Fucking depressed again. Why can't I just be stable?

And now I'm just gonna log off because I'm in such a funny mood that I just wanna scream the hell at someone at no, I don't give a toss about the consequences, I'm convinced they're in my mind anyway and they know everything, I'm convinced they're together and they've turned against me, and I just don't know what the [BEEP] to do, or why the heck I put up with them or anybody, really. So I don't want much to do with them. But hey, it's all okay for them to act that way, apparently they understand bipolar, apparently she has fucking bipolar and knows all about hypomania. And she probably thinks that I'm not trying hold to control it and I'm supposed to somewhat be in control and I'm just taking it out on people. Don't know where that came from. I just don't give a damn about the consequences.

So yeah...I'm a nutcase. And I'm trying hard to stay in control, but it's probably best I don't deal with people right now, and I don't know what to do!

I finished my work at 4.30 am and I have to get up in 3 hours for class. Ugh. I hate uni with such a passion.

I've injured by feet, took a job I knew was going to physically mess up my body and here I am it's been more than a week since I quit and my feet still have the same problem. Honestly I think I really harmed myself, don't think the damage is going to go away. And feet are important all the time, I used to like exercising now I haven't done anything but sit on my rear this is not helping my depression at all.(((Ha, I just read that I typed above that I've injured by feet.....I mean have injured my feet)))

Only got 2 hours of sleep last night (downside), Woke up before 8 AM (upside), Put wrong kind of soap in dishmachine (downside), cleaned up the seeping foam on the floor before it became too huge of a problem (upside). Exhausted (downside), will sleep well tonight (upside). Cancelled doctors appointment (Bad) because I still need to find paper documentation before I go. Having a cup of tea (upside). Hopefully will locate the papers sometime this morning. If I had found the paperwork I needed earlier than I would have been ready to go to my doctor's appointment. Something is wrong with me, I guess I don't look forward to going because they probably can't do anything to help anyways. IF

I'm not sure how I feel about this....the Prozac I've started taking. I'm on day 11, and I realize it's way too early for the drug to be having any noticeable effect, but....I swear I feel something. And it's not a placebo effect. The last couple of days I've been feeling very....numb.

I guess if I have a choice between feeling crippling, overwhelming anxiety and feeling numb, well the choice is obvious. I just wonder if everyone feels this way on it.

I was on Prozac for about a month, and I have to say that I experienced this as too (well, something similar, might not be exactly the same...) Wasn't happy, wasn't sad, I just felt nothing.

I really don't understand how people with BDD can spray their photos all over the internet including forums. How can they bring themselves to do that? I know that the most severe BDD cases will not even leave the house or at least not until they've spent an hour or more applying makeup / arranging their hair. And I know not everyone has such a severe case, and therefore are more comfortable with being seen. But I still find it unfathomable how many of them go out of their way to bring attention to their looks with this compulsive need to put up photos of themselves. I guess they're addicted to scoring compliments because they want reassurance, but if you really hate your looks that much why would you want anyone to see you? Why would you seek attention and judgement for your appearance? I'm really troubled by this. I just don't understand their behaviour. Do they really have BDD or are they just insecure/attention seekers throwing that word around? I just don't get it.
