They don't teach you how to beat it. They just trick you head into thinking that you're better without actually solving the root of the problem that's giving you your issues, assuming of course, it's not an inborn disorder that can't really be fixed.
I have to clarify that I'm not taking it for depression; it's for GAD and Panic Disorder. The latter benefits from CBT, yes, but an SSRI is generally required to prevent more panic attacks from occuring.

It's just also happened to effect my depression, because an SSRI is a form of antidepressant.
The previous post might still be of use but here is a bit more of a relevant one.

Minor point but Venlafaxine is an SNRI, which doesn't really make a whole lot of difference to you to be honest <.<

Taking it for GAD/Panic disorder will explain why it has the levelling effect moreso than a purely antidepressant one, because the aim will be to reduce the physiological response to anxiety to help treat the panic disorder (as I'm sure they explained to you, i hope <.<)

Are you having CBT alongside it? or is it planned or something? >.>
My mom was a therapist when she was younger, so I've always kind of had my own personal therapist. Diagnosed GAD and PD, Venlafaxine prescribed so that I don't freak out and drive half-way across the state again.

If my father's an indication (also suffers PD), I'm medicated for life. We're not good with stressors.

Started back up on Venlafaxine (for anxiety) in December, since then I've had a puzzling issue. I've noticed that my depressive spells have leveled out, both ways. I don't ever really feel intensely down, but I can't seem to real feel the same highs that I used to. It's preferable to what was happening before, but the constant sense of boredom is a bit irritating. I have to more actively try to be in a "good mood", and trying gets tiring.

You guys are a bunch of squares, do drugs, get high, make out with girls, or guys.
Couldn't if I wanted to.

Why not?

I was mildly confused as to how this hinders your ability to make out with guys or girls and then I read that one of the symptoms was diarrhea.

I am now enlightened and never wish to contract a case of spontaneous diarrhea when engaging in provocative interactions.
Fever, muscle contractions, confusion, and vomiting don't help either.

Serious / Re: Oscar actors so statistically representative
« on: January 22, 2016, 11:29:24 AM »
additionally, you would have to alter the result based on the genre of the movies (comedy is never Oscar-material).
Eh, I don't think "never" is fair. Though rare, some comedies have indeed won best picture--most notably, Annie Hall, and Birdman from last year.

(i mean, you could argue comedy has to be infused with another more lofty genre, like drama or romance, but still)

And that's not including comedies that have won, or at least been nominated for, Oscars in other categories.

otherwise, you make a good point
A bit of hyperbole; the point I was making is that different genres have different chances of getting an Oscar, much less a nomination. Setting every movie up on equal ground isn't accurate.

Good thing the Oscars aren't only representative of actors in the U.S. then, huh?
But the film does have to be theatrically released in Los Angeles County, meaning that many films outside of the Western hemisphere and art-festival films don't qualify. According to the 2015 HDR, 16.7% of minority actors were cast in a lead role and 51.2% of films had a 10% or less cast share. The statistics entail all minorities, so it isn't specific to blacks, but you get the idea.

It's a more complex subject than simply using a percentage of the US population though. You would have to sift through every film released in a year to see if they even qualify for an Oscar and determine the number of blacks who are eligible for the various awards; additionally, you would have to alter the result based on the genre of the movies (comedy is never Oscar-material).

if they put in decapre (and don't FUCK her up), i'll take that as a minus-1 strike

or makoto

but i don't think either of those are confirmed
You need to wait for Super Street Fighter V: Second Strike for Makoto.

Students don't want to do their best work, they want to pass
Especially on the final
This is college, kiddo. Kids may just want to pass in high school--but in college, you literally can't afford not to do your best. You'd have to be an idiot to just want to pass.

Growing up is learning to half-ass it where it doesn't count.

This wouldn't be a problem if Legendary members could change the border color too.

I'm playing Blade and Soul and made my woman's thighs and butt thicker than normal because that turns me on

I'm a bad person
I just want to play a girl character that doesn't have boobs the size of mountains and thighs too thick to fit through a door in that game ;____;

Fan service is insane in that game
>MMO

why.
Free and something we can play with friends, honestly.
But MMO games are turrible.
Combat is fantastic, surprisingly for an MMO
Yeah it is. Though a little hard to nail.
Jokes aside, that's pretty nice. I wish I could get into MMOs, because it looks a little fun.
Well it IS free. You're more than welcome to join and I could add you. I could tell you the server we all play on.
Issue is mob grindin, tho. From the impression videos I've been watching, the combat seems to be its only perk tbh.

Boooring.
you've clearly never played an mmo at max level
"you can't call a game boring unless you put hundreds of hours gritting your teeth and muscling through it"

Got to 70-something on a character in Maplestory and a 90-something in Runescape back in the day, anyway. WoW sucks, Runescape sucks now, Maplestory sucks now, Terra sucks, et cetera. No such thing as a "good MMO" in today's world.
i feel bad for you
Me too thanks.
