Will you need an operation?
Nah what I need is a powerful anti-fungal medication like Diflucan, and to be on a strict regiment of vitamins/supplements/pro-biotics.

Also, very little to no carbs/sugar/starch.
Forgive my prying, but do you have that human brewery condition? I forget the name for it, but what you described sounded an awful lot like it <.<

Where the body manufactures alcohol from starches and sugars in the gut which leads to a background level of alcohol in the blood and all that <.<

I probably would have jacked that car if nobody was looking. <_<

The keys WERE on the ground...

You would probably take better care of it too.

Lol I would. I take great care of my computer so I would take even greater care of my car. That owner is lucky you're not a car thief. What kind of dumbfuck would leave their keys on the ground? That's just begging to have your car stolen.
A police honeytrap.

I mean, I'll put my keys on my phone when I'm lifting, but it's always in front of me. It's not uncommon to see that. You just keep it close to you and in your sight at all times
Maybe it's just me being a paranoid sod and all, but so far assuming that some slimy bastard is trying to steal your shit 24/7 has kept it all safe <_<

I don't think I'd leave anything like that away from my person if I wasn't in my house >_>

And I totally understand that mentality, there's nothing wrong with thinking like that. I know the area is known for anything like that happening, and it's my clear view at all times. I also have it under my phone. It's not something I leave out for people to see. Sure sometimes it'll be on top of my phone if I take them out of my pocket right then and place it. But if I'm doing it and paying attention, it's always under. It's not that I had any problem with him having his keys on the floor next to his machine, it's the fact that his car is in such shitty shape
Yeaaaah

I mean, I'm not exactly a fan of cars and the like but I find it hard to believe anyone could treat a machine in such a poor manner. The omnissiah weeps to think of it ;-;

Boggles my mind as well
They should all be sent for disassembly tbh

I don't believe it works, so I probably wouldn't but as a matter of being able to or not?
I wouldn't say I couldn't.

If you want information with no massive urgency to the timescale then psychological interrogation >>> but if there is 24 hours to get it out of them or something and they don't feel like talking? I could see why it might be required.

Of course you wouldn't want to waste your time with Execution tier torture, but waterboarding would probably do the trick without too much mess. Or sticking them in a sensory deprivation chamber/anechoic one if it's available.

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.
Hmm well that can be both helpful and problematic in it's own way, as a general rule of thumb you shouldn't treat people you are close to because it gets quite difficult to do it well >.> Not that you can't advise them properly as opposed to 'grow a pair' or 'pull yourself together' which is what some people have to cope with.

That's not great, but I wouldn't resign yourself to it just yet. Whilst you are still in the <25 category the brain is still developing some of the finishing touches to the PFC/Hippocampus, after that point it becomes notably more difficult to change anything on the biological level <.<

Now one of the prevailing approaches at the moment is the biopsychosocial, which holds that change in one aspect can lead to change in another. So between the medication and some proper CBT/MBCT it wouldn't be a stretch to put a bit of faith in your brain adapting somewhat more positively in the long run. Fixing it in the next couple of years might save you an awful lot of grief in the long run.

That being said, I won't lie and say that it'll disappear for good. If you are prone to anxiety, chances are it's going to be with you for life but the severity of it can be greatly diminished <.<

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.
Edit, took me so long to finish typing this i missed the post above. Gimme a few to update it.

Spoiler
SNRIs aren't a medication we've covered in a great amount of detail so I can only suggest stuff in general terms rather than the more detailed ones but I'll say what I can all the same <.<

I guess one of the questions that does determine the answers a little is to do with the highs and lows, was a specific diagnosis given for that? (if you want to say of course) or was it under MDD/GAD?

Regarding the medication, the idea is usually to aim for a stabilising effect which is what you have seen. As I've said I'm not too clear on SNRIs but if similar prinicples of SSRIs apply then after the initial period of being on the medication which is about 6-8 weeks there should then start to be a general improvement. It might also be that they switch the meds or up the dose during/after that time too so I wouldn't get too concerned about short term side effects at this point (unless you get the A&E required kind but that goes without saying).

Speaking more from experience here than from study, it was about 6 or so months before I started to improve after going on Mirtazapine and even then it was gradual. But after I'd been on it for a year and had therapy alongside it, I was on the up out of it. I'm still on them and I doubt I'll be off them in the next six months but possibly after then. They like to leave a buffer zone of 1-2 years in remission before they look at taking you off them. So heads up for the long-haul really <.<

If after another couple of months you find being flat all the time is no more tolerable than having the highs and lows then speak with the doctor who prescribed them and see if they can try out a different one >_>

''Man ordered to tell police if he plans to have sex''

Quote
A man cleared of raping a woman has been ordered to give police 24 hours' notice before he has sex.

The man, in his 40s, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was acquitted in 2015 at a retrial after claiming the alleged victim had consented.

An interim sexual risk order, initially imposed in December, has been extended for four months by magistrates in York.

It requires the man disclose any planned sexual activity to the police or face up to five years in prison.

The order - which was drawn up by magistrates in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, and extended in York - reads: "You must disclose the details of any female including her name, address and date of birth.

"You must do this at least 24 hours prior to any sexual activity taking place."

It also contains restrictions on his use of the internet and mobile phone devices and requires him to inform officers of any change of address.

A further court hearing in May will decide whether the interim order should be made into a full order, which has a minimum duration of two years and can last indefinitely.

Sexual risk orders were introduced in England and Wales in March last year and can be applied to any individual who the police believe poses a risk of sexual harm, even if they have never been convicted of a crime.

They are civil orders imposed by magistrates at the request of police.

Maybe april fools has come early or maybe britbongistan has started taking notes from greentext stories for new government policies.

Court orders for sex offenders aren't exactly unheard of, but this is really starting to take the piss.

Two highlights

Last year was the general election for the UK, think presidential elections but less dramatic.

It boiled down to Labour (left) vs Tories (right) and the tories won, Ed milliband - the person in the video - was the leader of labour.

What?
gasai pls

step by step for the slow then

1. Last year, the year of our lord MMXV, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland held it's general election in which we vote for Members of Parliament to represent the masses in the Government.
2. The party with the most Members of Parliament is the winner and holds a majority, the leader of this party becomes the Prime Minister
3. The two major parties in the UK are Labour and Conservatives.
4. The leader of the Labour Party during the 2015 General Election was Ed Miliband (the person in the video)
5. The leader of the Conservatives (tories/tory party) was David Cameron (Now Prime Minister)
6. In the video Ed Miliband is being interviewed by a TV presenter who is enjoying wiping the floor with him
7. Red Ed gets flustered and says 'Tough enuss'
8. Labour lost the election.

we also had to do that

though I don't recall anything about lighting in my exam
we didn't have it in the exam, the teacher just decided to make us analyse that scene for a lesson.

it was a double-lesson with no break in the middle

two hours of watching lenny go chimp on some bimbo repeatedly was enough to make me hate the film/book/wtfe for the rest of my life
