Post subject:  problems with mental health
I feel like now that I'm so aware of things around me like social dynamics I feel like I over analyze things all the time? Do you think it's a coincidence that mystery like went crazy and wanted to kill himself?

I'm a stable person but the other day I was drinking and I lost control of my mind kind of, I broke down. I feel like it never would have happened if I hadn't started reading so much.

I didn't brake down because of women either I was doing fine, I don't know what did it to me.

Do you guys ever feel like that at all? Do people sometimes have negative mental side affects?

Not everything in life can be broken down to an equation, chill the hell out and quit thinking about routines.

You are your own person, be happy.

Hmm. I don't know if we are describing the same things, but I too have felt "overly aware" for a long time.

It's hard to explain, it's almost like I wasn't paying attention to life all the way up until being suddenly awoken??? I don't know, theres just something distinctively different about my consciousness these days, it started when my girlfriend broke up with me and hasn't gone away since.

Mystery has issues, very deeply embeded because of his father. Also i looked into the meds mentioned in the game, and the one was a med used in Schizophrenia and depression...

Depression alone is bad, i suffer from indogenous depression (caused by a chemical imbalance, not events)...but if he is even mildly Schiz thats 100x worse.

I think your problem was just drinking too much. Dependant on what is going on in your life (we all have our problems) the alcohol might have just amplified your problems negative effect on you, and/or your moods effect on you.


I too feel like i "over analyze" social interaction now, but the alternative was under analyzing it and feeling like crap. Overall my mental health is much better now because of the changes ive made socially and personally due to PU.

Over thinking things just means your in a state of enlightenment but not comfotable with that newfound knowelge. Its the same as when you learn to perform a task or do a job, your taught how to do it but you over think things someone doing it for a long time wouldnt...because they are comfortable with it.

Dont worry stick with it, you will have up's and down's like all of us, just stick them out...someday you'll look back at this and laugh over how you let it upset you.

Yeah I feel like this, sometimes when I have too much caffeine/alcohol it triggers something mentally. I lose trust in everyone and assume that I know everything inside their head and their intentions are bad.

Then I see life as just a game, that everything anyone does is just a way of taking advantage of the other person so they feel better about themselves while putting the other person down.

I think it's depression. because when you are happy or in love, all this disapears. The thoughts go away, and the paranoia.

Alcohol is a bad one aswell,

Alchohol is a depressant. Don't drink when you feel depressed, it will only make you feel worse.

Weed, on the other hand.... :lol:

I don't smoke anymore, because it had a lot of negative effects on my lifestyle. But at the same time, I still think it helped me calm my brain. I am a continuous thinker, and my inner-dialogue never shuts up! Weed helped quiet my thoughts down, and relaxed my body. So at certain times, it was good to be high, like before bedtime. But if I smoked before going out in public, it was horrible-- I was paranoid, anti-social, squinty-eyed, and giggly. I tried to control my use, but when you smoke, and you hang out with other smokers, it's VERY hard to contol when and where you smoke. The other smokers are always offering it, or suggesting it at times and places you know you don't wanna do it, but it's hard to say no, and (especially since they already know you smoke) there's a lot of constant pressure to do it when/where anyone else is doing it.

If it was legal, I would do it again, but not socially. I would only do it at night, after studying/working, as a way to unwind and sleep. I suffer from mild arthritis and persistent insomnia. I wish that was enough for me to get a prescription. Maybe in California, if I bribed the doctor? Or is it only that easy on T.V.?

I know this post is off-topic, but I just feel like I needed to let it out.

Yeah I personally think alcohol is the worst drug out there.

Weed doesn't help you sleep if you smoke it through the day it causes insomnia and restlessness. If you only had it at night I spose It would be ok for relaxing but will causes paranoia if done too often, same as drinking.

It mongs you out and you become sluggish and dont use any energy up in the afternoon so You arent tired at night and dont sleep properly. Then the next day, having been on the wacky-backy the previous evening, you will have fatiigue.

In my opionion its just one step closer to heroin abuse.

and who says weed ain't addictive?! It's 10 times worse then nicotine,

Listen dude.

Everybody has challenges in life that they need to learn to deal with.

But if you're having suicidal thoughts, etc.. when you drinking, you need to do one of two things, or maybe both.

Stop drinking and/or get some professional help.

I had two friends that had similar problems years ago. It wasn't pretty, and nobody really saw it coming.

In both cases it was related to two things. An inability to successfully relate socially, and far too much alcohol. It can be a deadly combination.

Everyone has their problems. May be perfect on the outside, inside are wires and chains towards some memories. It can also be a natural cause of brain chemicals being imbalance. Either way, start doing things you enjoy in life, even if they are the things you do alone. Then slowly invite others into it, the girl you like, and start a new adventure to transition the old self into the new.

It is not to say that we should shut out emotions, and thoughts out, but rather control it to sustain value towards yourself.

I think that's the most ignorant thing I've heard today.

Interesting. Another way for me to describe it is I feel almost anxious. I can't just like "Chill" anymore and relax and not think about the future... I can't live in the moment anymore... it's really a strange/not nice feeling.

hey man. don't sweat it at all. Stress builds up and sometimes needs to be let out, especially on occasion with us being men and never showing emotion. Since alcohol lowers inhibition you just let it out. While it may seem awkward if you play close attention you're probably a lot more at peace now than you were in the few days/weeks/months before this happened.
