I agree with you, although it's not always doctors being greedy. A lot of doctors work places that are very understaffed and have very little time to really speak with a patient. I once had a doctor accidentally put me on a medication that interacted with the birth-control she'd just...

God that's messed up. Defending someone who's hurting you... god I hate that, not that I didn't do the same with my abusive *insert long string of very bad words here* ex girlfriend

I was just kidding around, I understood what you meant and agreed with you (as stated in the "in all seriousness, excellent point") I assumed you were being funny with the "glam rock women's under clothing" thing, and responded in kind

Back into my eating disorder

Actually sometimes it's just genetic, an inherited defect. There have been seven generations of depressives in my family, the ones on medication did better than the ones who self-medicated. Not all depression is like this, obviously, but in some cases it is.

I stopped reading after glam rock women's under clothes... *grumble* the mental image is distracting! in all seriousness though, good point. Also... what, what heards of pretty glam rockers! I should have joined ages ago. Also in case anyone was curious as to what a Miss Darling looks like...

Some of us don't care about money... I currently pay my boyfriend's rent, grocery bill, and pretty much whatever else his little heart desires, because he's a musician (IE: Poor) and I love him... and if I didn't spend it on him I'd just spend it on expensive moisturizer, and shoes.

I find fasting brings on a certain interesting introspective mental clarity, if I do it for about a day, however as an ex-anorexic, I tend to avoid it as it just seems like a good way to trigger myself

I agree that it's evolutionary, and a chemical process, however I think that that view doesn't remove any of its value, or romance. It's more, isn't it romantic that we're overwhelmed by these warm fuzzy chemical reactions?

Well, my father and grandmother have been on and off anti-depressants most of their lives (they're both normal, functional, mostly happy people with normal responses to emotional pain and everything), and the thing is depression is rarely caused by an external factor. It's actually a chemical...

Quoted from wikipedia. I think that falling in love is a very interesting mental state, one that hasn't been studied enough, I know when I first started dating the guy I'm currently with I was living a sort of constant high, although being separated was painful. It was also a very...

Vitamin supplements. I also suggest a psychettes board to encourage females to join where women can discuss girlie issues (like how enthogens effect mensturation, pregnancy, and the like, or safety issues (such as being in an altered state among men some of whom you don't know well)

...damn now you've got me curious as to what you were thinking

This is a little prose poem I wrote when I first started dating my boyfriend: Follow Me Into Darkness. Follow me into darkness, beautiful, follow me into the nighttime world of New York city. It’s the most beautiful madness I’ve ever seen, this world of glitter trash, cheap glamour...

I'm a Burroughs reading, mind exploring, mescaline appreciating chick... so we are out there. The only problem with dating me is I'm only attracted to girls and glam rockers (David Bowie, Michael Monroe, and Brian Molko are all my type)... although any skinny guy with high cheekbones, a nice...

Has anyone else tried sexual activity in combination with pain in order to facilitate getting into subspace? I'm not into BDSM myself, but I have out of curiosity insisted my partner apply pain (in the form of spanking with a hairbrush) until I did develop a most interesting high... sort of...

Hehe, I think it's more a preventative thing. Personally, in my experience I find sex itself very enlightening, and very good for putting me in a "more in touch with myself" space, because after orgasm I feel a sense of tranquility like nothing else I've experienced...

Actually from what I've read of medical journal's women actually need to have orgasms once and awhile to maintain their vaginal muscles which helps prevent incontinence. I don't think sex can ever become an addiction with or without love as long as you're not interrupting the rest of your life...

I actually find my creativity, and minds eye is most open when all of my physical needs have been met. I can't write unless I'm sexually satisfied, not hungry, and not thirsty.
