Either you're on the wrong medications or the dosage needs to be increased. Perhaps it's a misdiagnosis. It's common nowadays for doctors to hand out SSRI's (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors) like they were candy for any type of depression but typically they should only be prescribed for people with a form of clinical depression that stems from a serotonin imbalance. There are tests for that but they are expensive and it's easier for the docs to make money just writing a scrip for Zoloft, Paxil or Prozac. The dangerous part comes in where some people who have bi-polar disorder are prescribed these drugs. It tends to make the person a pressure cooker and sooner or later they explode. For those people, Lithium tends to work better and there are other drugs to treat bi-polar that are equally effective. I suggest you seek out a real professional in the field of psychiatric medicine, not a general practitioner and when you do you should probably have someone else drive you there. Best of luck in your search for inner peace.

Is anybody else getting a bit panicky, wondering whether George Bush or Vlad Putin ever has moments where they feel like River2613?

I mean, those guys really do have buttons...

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Yikes! You had something bad to say about every line in my last post!

About the "minions" word. That was just an attempt at being humorous. I respect the people who work for me and they know it. they are all the BEST in the field, but they dont get paid the big bucks to sit around and they know this.

Why are you giving me such a hard time? I only want to wipe out humanity.

*shrugs* We do it because that's what there is. What else is there? What SHOULD there be?

What right to we have to expect better?

Asarian's right -- don't get all chipper on me, A! -- in that the whole point is not goodness bringing persistence so much as persistence bringing goodness. So what if humanity at large sucks?

Not everyone does, and you try to surround yourself with as many people who DON'T suck as possible. To an extent, reality is what you make of it, no matter if you really have The Almighty Button or not.

Look at me: I'm an utter Ice Queen, but I got tickled to death when I got an e-mail back from a lady I've never physically met to whom I sent the Firefly box set. I didn't really have the money to buy it for her, but she needed it more than I needed gas money, so off it went. She cried, River. She was so happy.

So what if I'm an Ice Queen? I made one person smile...or cry...or whatever. Doesn't that lessen the world's karma, even an iota?

Oh, and a blanky is a kiddie term for "blanket". Your blanky is the one you carried around as a wee one until it had raggedy edges and too many stains to tell the original color.

*grins* Hope that last bit helped, as I'm pretty sure the earlier bit didn't.

ok, minions was in jest. thats all right then.

Aw, you only want to wipe out humanity? Well when you say it like that how can I resist? I'll just go ahead and lay down, let you think what you like, let it grow unhindered to the point where you convince yourself that its alright to go on and act on these impulses. yeah, when you say it like that your thoughts are perfectly reasonable.

*by the way, the above is a joke.

There was a guy talking about lithium up there, go read his post again. Several times.

I have never been diagnosed for depression. I'm not a depressive, nor manic, nor do I have any kind of brain/chemical disorders of any kind. I am not sick, nor crazy, nor emotionally unbalanced in any way, shape or form. I am not a "pressure cooker" getting ready to blow, I'm just a normal person like the rest of you.

There is no reason to see any doctors, or shrinks now, nor in the near future. I just have dark thoughts regarding humanity....nothing more.

No problem, I apologise if I reciprocated.

As for the Judgement thing, what does it matter anyway? If the Human race deserves to die for what we do then we'll destroy ourselves with what we do, either through war, rampant unchecked profiteering eating up all natural resources and poisoning our environment or simply through short-sightedness preventing us from protecting ourselves from some natural disaster.

If we deserve to live we'll come through our trials and tribulations and evolve.

This is why I contend that you are not in the position to stand in judgement of the Human species, because you are Human, your view is biased and necessarily based on your own sphere of knowledge, which can never be more than a shadow of the truth, and possibly somewhat less than that. Not an attack on you, merely an observation of a Human failing in all of us.

If we are unworthy of survival then by virtue of our own built in obsolescence, our self destruction syndrome, we'll destroy ourselves like a good genetically engineered virus.

No coaxing or outside assistance needed, and certainly no arguments on whether we deserve to or not. If we do we will, if we don't we won't.

You should never give powers to a leader you like that you’d hate to have given to a leader you fear

Citizen,

Yes, you may have a point there, but I would feel a certain amount of deep satisfaction, and maybe even a little pride if I were instrumental in the fall of humanity. It would definitely make my day.

Hmm, what sets you apart from the rest of humanity that you get to survive and feel smug?

Not sure you're being fair if your button is a remote detonator.
