People like you based only on how much they can fuck with you.

My relationships are based on company, more than anything else. I enjoy keeping people around that seem to enjoy being in my company and the other way around. I expect nothing outside of company.

I "use" people to get rid of my loneliness, I guess. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Is there a free website that can help me track a couple of my friends with whom I lost contact?

Yeah I was going to suggest the white pages. If they've ever had a phone you can track where it was... of course now that no one has land lines that doesn't work near as well. About half the population is on Facebook, if they're not there find some of their friends on Facebook and ask them.

Come on man, I seem to be able to track down every girl I ever had a crush on in high school and they don't even have the same last name anymore. Isn't the internet a wonderful thing?

A stalkers best friend.

I always had the greatest respect for our rescue workers.

Until the ambulance driver at the gas station asks you to piss in a cup for them because they won't be able to pass their drug test they're on their way to take...

(honest no joke it happened)

I think that's hard to respect considering their role and what their job is.

The whole idea of what they do is noble and if lives do get saved I'm certainly glad they're there. But I just wish the ones I've seen in the too many numbers would have Thought a little before they leap into a job where your decisions can literally be life or death.

People aren't perfect no doubt. But for one person to see it as frequently as I have can't be a good indication.

Maybe ignoring the rules means better results I don't know. But it sure pisses me off is all. :p

Not trying to rail on them just really never thought I'd see some of the crazy things I've seen is all!

What happened for you to change your mind?
Are you judging all firefighters from coast to coast on just the actions of just one or two?

I am experiencing an impression based on observation that they are getting worse not better. In the last half decade alone I've personally witnessed them screwing up the most basic things you'd think they'd know how to do. Firemen not managing to turn on a hose somehow, driving an emergency vehicle recklessly and with no lights on. Getting lost and showing up late to emergencies.

Just really very basic stuff you'd think a professional in this line of work would have covered that I've seen leave buildings burnt nearly to the ground that could have been saved sooner. lives ended because they got lost on the way to the scene. Nearly involved in accidents with them because they're retarded and drive around without their lights on at high speeds and through intersections. I've seen them do some really stupid things that they shouldn't do and far too many times to be a fluke by now.

So no I absolutely can't judge them all but the ones I've seen around here seem pretty darn dumb yah!

There seems to be an epidemic of cases of bipolar in the usa and uk.

Aeolian,

But it is a chemical imbalance of the brain.

If you were referring to my message, I didn't mean to say it was or wasn't.


Whether or not it's diagnosed disproportionately or not is not for me to say either. But I think our biology is as much a part of it as societal variables in the bi-polar equation.

Maybe some people are better at ignoring the causes and are less vulnerable to finding themselves affected by it making them less prone to start showing signs of bi-polar. It may very well be that some people are just biologically more vulnerable to developing it based on genetic, developmental, environment or any other number of possible factors. Since I'm no doctor it's hard to say though.


And while perhaps thoughtful, I didn't offer any advice in my reply that I can say I know works either. I struggle with my issues every day and I would do anything if there was a 'cure' or if I could help the negative impact of it or how it makes me feel or act sometimes.


I think bi-polar is real and I think it's horrible. I do think that drug companies are a business and they're pushing drugs. But that's not to say I disagree with everything that everyone that works for one is trying to do. I just tried them out to the point I gave up because it doesn't seem to work for me(maybe made things worse in fact not sure though). I would suggest always trying everything you can within reason to make yourself better though.

I agree that there should not be a profit motive in how treatments are selected as if it were the 'special of the week' or something.

But I didn't mean to rail against any machines, this time, because I have heard people say they really do help and that life would be miserable without them.

While there's lots I'd like to see different about how we take care of each other, I wouldn't be so quick to change anything that would take that away from the people they do help.

Here's what's up from my point of view:

We are bi-polar because we live very bi-polar lives.


A lot of our lives are lived in a way that is the antithesis of our values.
Most of us value freedom, peace, love, happiness...

The best of what we are hopes and longs for a unification of ideas and to grow beyond our infantile understanding of the world/universe and each other.

And our dreams can see a way we think life can be.

What is that? The whole of our limitless imaginations compared to waking up and delivering pizzas every day? Or going to sit in a box for 8 hours M-F? (which i happen to like but still realize it's probably not good for the species as a whole)

Or the murder and violence we see reported every day? Or the strange concept of a need for war? We're angered. We hate. We try to control everything. We desire individualism. We (me included) obsess over acquisition of 'things', money or power. We may or may not achieve our goal to grow only temporarily before we ultimately diminish. Or worse, we think we'll wait till the next life or afterlife and somehow that will achieve our happiness or peace not realizing or valuing our time, or exerting any effort to make now the most important time.

If anyone reading this can say they truly feel free, at peace, or are truly happy all the time then bravo! But I've never understood how any one of us can feel these good feelings all the time. Especially if you're paying ANY attention to anything outside your bubbles.

As views become more polarized in our areas and more extreme and less accepting, I think a lot of bi-polar people running around makes sense.

I guess for me bi-polar feels like a deep argument between the difference in what I've ever hoped and dreamed for and the way things actually are. A clash between what I think and feel life should have been, and should be vs. the way it has been and actually is. Which logically sometimes doesn't foster a positive hope of the future in my case. It's about how to find purpose in life sometimes. A way to feel like you count in an existence you can't really do much about maybe.


The only thing I can suggest for a 'treatment' is to find a healthy balance between your personal bubble and reality.

Too much bubble and you can miss out on important life stuffs.
Too much reality you simply go insane.

Keep your hopes and dreams in check. Don't limit them at all! But don't let them cloud your judgement and blind you of the reality of your current circumstances.

We don't always get what we want and things don't always go our way. How to cope with being out of control in this way has been one of my toughest challenges.

Life is usually not our hopes and dreams.

Someone already said Facebook. Dang. LOL

Google "how to find lost friends".

There's services like truthfinder.com(or something like that, it was the first organic search result in the search results) that promise they can help. Of course I've never used one so I can't relay personal experience.
