Men vs. Women Race to 1000

[Shoryu Magami]

Well I'm one less person to worry about with the ranting. But I'm sorry to hear about all that crazy shit you went through. I'm assuming you're done with doctors on that dept unless you really need to see them? That's what's up! I'm 30 myself.

@King Tai

(Good to know, and yeah, pretty much won't go near them unless I have a physical problem that needs attention, and I refuse to take any sort of medication that can have side effects on my mind state, regardless of how minor they are. I'm through with being brainwashed. Also, you missed the opportunity to repeat the joke I used when I posted -69 ages back. Lol.)

Damn, I don't think I ever caught that. My attention sucks sometimes. Honestly, I've never been on medication except temporarily when I had bronchitis for the first time or if it was something mind. I think I'd be too cautious and afraid to take something for mental reasons.

@King Tai

(Yeah, I never would've taken those meds willingly. I was essentially forced to, and once I finally stopped taking them in secret it more or less resulted in my decision to eventually leave school (a few other reasons made me decide too, but not relevant). They kept trying to make me take them afterwards, until I moved in with my dad (my parents divorced when I was 7, and dad died shortly after I turned 17), and he got me off them completely since he always hated what they were doing to me. Since then it's more or less been a long journey just recovering from it all on my own terms, and it's even why I initially started RPing. You could make the argument I never would've met any of you, or my fiancé, had it not been for those experiences, and I overcame them all, so I don't really regret anything, but I definitely don't trust the mental health district as a result of it all.)

First off...sorry to hear about your loss. and my parents divorced when I was 6, so I know what you mean. That's the reason I'm afraid of taking meds because of me being forced to but it's funny because most people feel much better without the meds. I know this probably has nothing to do with your condition but I usually try to eat healthier to keep from getting on meds for diabetes and stuff like that. But I'm glad to hear that you managed to recover in your own way though. From what I see, seems it's made you into a stronger person.

@King Tai

(It's alright. Happened in a house fire while I was on a camp of sorts (one of the rare times I actually went out and did something), so it was a messy situation too, and honestly I have a lot of unanswered questions involving it all, some which are pretty heavy, but, like you said, I recover in my own way. Honestly, I'm nothing if I'm not resilient. I'm quite confident nothing can actually do me in, which is why I'm always making jokes that I'll survive the apocalypse. Anyway, yeah, I definitely recommend avoiding medications unless they're basically essential to preventing your life from ending.)

@King Tai So we are the same age, and you and @Shoryu Magami aren't the only ones who have (had) medical issues.

@Shoryu Magami
What about medication for migraines? I never seem to have any bad side effects from it.

Damn, man :(. Hey resiliency can go a long way. like you said, you can possibly survive the apocalypse lol and I'll try to stay away from the meds as long as I can. If I die, let me die on my own terms and not drugged up. and if I may ask...what unanswered questions?

@Duthguy Ah! another brother of the 30s club :D

Speaking of meds... I hate them and I try avoiding then as much as I can, but with my messed up sleep pattern now that seems impossible.

I dunno, but meds always made me feel funny.

@Duthguy

(Interesting to find out. See, I know a lot of people just come here to goof around, but this is the sort of thing I personally join communities for; creating an actual community of people can talk and such.)

@Shoryu Magami

@NekoMizu

(They should be okay. It shouldn't be too difficult to find out if they have side effects by doing some research. Whether people want to accept it or not, drugs ruin people, whether they're medical or just addictive.)
