Cheers man. Me and my 'ex' are really quite complicated, but I'll try and handle her as best I can.

It's always complicated with someone you've had a relationship with. Be it them wanting you back or them playing games. In my experience it is best to not contact them or keep a nice little distance until things smooth over or calling it quits if it doesn't settle down. Stay single and mingle brotha man.

I hate logging onto facebook. Not because I get to see everyones lives compared to mine but because I get to see their horrible opinions from what they share.

Sometimes I feel I have clinical depression, but I won't go to a doctor because I work in health care and I don't want a mental disease on my medical records. It really limits your possibilities in the work force whether they want to admit it or not. I deal with it fine and it doesn't affect other people; just my own personal health is at stake.

I forgot how my family never talks to me or to each other. My mom and dad watches their filipino channel, my brother is watching Let's Plays on youtube, my sister is frozen with her phone on her hand waiting for a text message and when my cousin was over yesterday, all he did was play Kingdom Hearts Two. When it was time for dinner, I tried to spark conversation but no one talked much. My sister was still texting under the table.

Coming from being a health care student of psychiatry, I'd rather have you meet up with a doctor seeing that you are very aware of your current state for a long time and the circumstance being pressing enough for you to actively seek outlets on an internet forum with relative anonymity. This isn't anywhere near an official diagnosis because I still have two years left, but it's more on concern on my end and I honestly want you to not burn yourself before finishing med school with a lingering unresolved hurdle that can be sorted out (although not what I consider to be magically cured) early. Question: Do you have friends/family/complete strangers you have around you that will talk to you about anything not about school? The only reason why I am doing so wel is because I have people who not only understand my crazy but also reciprocate it with their own crazy. We climbed a tree and the campus police yelled at us to come down. We're all either psychiatry, dental, or business grads yet we have the time to really talk about ourwselves and not 100% about how school is so much more demanding compared to undegrad.

For me that shit is too serious to not get help for. I'd rather potentially lose out on a job because I got help than missing out on a lot of other jobs because I'm too depressed to go after them. But maybe you handle it a lot better than I do. I thought I handled it well too, until I didn't. Anyway hope it doesn't affect you too much and if it starts to then I hope you can get the help you need.

I'm flirting with my new singer, and I'm really not sure if I should be. She's the only person I've met who's most like who I am (which, trust me, is extremely rare), but it still doesn't feel like I should be doing this... what if it gets in the way of the band? Am I even ready for another relationship? Is she even any good for me? What do I say to my ex, who is still interested in me?

Don't do it. No. Tell her to fuck off.

For me, I'm normally 100% fine. Every few months I might have a really bad week, but it just means I'll sequester myself and not talk to anyone. Otherwise I'm usually fine and literally no one has any idea.

 

The only time that things become a problem is when something bad happens in my life. Then it almost completely overtakes me for a long long time. I still am able to have rational thought and experience joy, but for the large part it overshadows everything else I admit sometimes having suicidal thoughts. Not active suicidal thoughts, but just "if I died. I don't think I would care right now". The amount of "bad" for me to get to this point is variable, but rationally not nearly enough to provoke suicidal thoughts.

 

My apprhension is based on the fact that I literally will be limited in fields as a doctor with a diagnosis like this. Especially when I'm not sure if I even have it. I might just be very dramatic and handle situations super poorly. I just don't think suicidal thoughts are normal just because you fail an exam. But maybe it's just Asian guilt. Who knows. Either way, I doubt I'll be seeking help when it's so minor (relatively). As long as I don't have bad things happen in my life. Which is rare right? because life treats errryone great

 

@Kelvin yes I have plenty of friends where we don't talk about school. School is almost a 0% factor of me feeling down lately. I have amazing people in my life and when I'm sad. Talking to them really really helps. It's just worse when I'm alone (yet when I'm not going through anything, I love my alone time. But when I'm going through something, being alone is bad).

Everything Boggy said.

That's amazing to hear!, @Boggart ! Don't read the next spoiler in this message and think it's about you. It's more towards a statement I 100% disagree with that has no bearings on you. However I still urge you to seek help. A self-diagnosed idea planted into your head can lead to real depression. Think of it as a self-fulfilled prophecy. It happens way too much with mental disorders. Clarity really helps prevent that in the case where you don't biologically have depression.

Confession:

 

If one person is really struggling internally with their own problems but are not seeking help to the point of negatively affecting their professional life, then that person--let's take use a physician as an example--should refrain from practicing. The medical field is rigorous and competitive one for good reason. I don't want people who can't handle themselves to handle other people in both practice and giving shit tons of my money to, especially in careers where one person's actions can mean permanent damage, impairment, or death to another. The thing about getting help is that it reduces the chance of that situation from occurring and sometimes it may be enough to get rid of it and often prevents much graver incidents in the future.

 

That's not to say that all people with some sort of mental disorder can't be doctors, politicians, jet pilots, astronauts, or what have you. The people I personally can't allow to take up such careers if I had a say are people who know who has some personal issues to figure out, but are (for whatever reason like fear of expulsion, discrimination, often a stab of one's masculinity from what I've seen) are refusing to seek ways to resolve them. For those cases where they are a danger to themselves or others, I see no problem with ejecting them of their position.

@Kelvin

 

I'm going to say at this point in my life, I'm doing okay. I know I can handle it and I know it has no-real effect or on other people.

 

I swear on my life and the oath I have sworn that if I feel that it starts to affect my treatment of future patients or if I think it will result in me taking action, I will seek counselling. I'm just saying right now, since I'm so unsure and handling it quite well, I'm not going to get diagnosed and limit my future for something that may pass/might not even exist

It's the truth homie. I don't poop when I travel. I think I did once when I was in Paris for 14 days. My body rejects it.

I can't poop in strange places I'm not familiar with, the longest I've gone was 10 days and it was the worst 10 days ever.

The longest I can remember is 8 days but it could easily have been longer. 8 days was just this year. 10 painful days would suck I didn't even notice :\

 

Apparently Kim K doesn't poo at all or so she says... probably why her ass is so big.
