  1. How effective are they? Well, I’m now able to wake up in the morning and physically get out of bed. Beforehand, or when I’ve had to come off for a time, I would regularly spend 15-18 hours a day in bed. No energy, felt like I was walking through syrup or gel - my limbs felt so heavy. I still have my problems, I still go through rough patches. But generally speaking I’m at least able to get up in the morning, get out of bed (albeit still slowly and somewhat begrudgingly) and get through the day. I would never say that medication is a cure though, it’s meant to hell reroute signals in my brain and fix chemical levels but it’s not meant to make my life magically better. I still have a lot of work I need to do emotionally, mentally to along with chemical changes in my brain.

  2. My grandfather fought in the Battle of Hürtgen Forest, as well as D-Day +3, Battle of the Bulge, North Africa, and Sicily as radio operator and forward observer to direct artillery for the 9th infantry division. If anyone is able to find any details on the exact whereabouts of fighting or stories specifically about the 9th or members of it during that time, I would be eternally grateful if you’d be willing to share! I have some details and a few amazing stories he told me about if anyone care haha, but I don’t have a lot of the black and white facts that would have been reported

  4. There are people in live with cars and walls… and probably computers. So of course some weirdos going to start a “relationship” with Alexa or some weird robot.

  8.  @maelbela  hahah well played my friend! I agree, if I were in Europe then French would certainly be the language to learn. I’ll just have to track you down and beg you to be my translator!

  11. Nothing beats the love of a dog. I’ve had my life saved by my pup on more than one occasion… and I’ve risked my life for my pup on more than one occasion, and won’t hesitate to risk it again if my dog is EVER in danger!

  16.  @someguy2135 We’re humans, we’ve evolved to/because we ate/eat meat… so yeah, that’s how I know a burger made of cows tastes better than a burger made of tofu.

  17. @ That’s not comparable. So long as beef and chickens and pigs and turkeys are available for consumption, I’ll consume them. Good for anyone who wants seaweed steaks, but not for me.

  19. We haven’t even figured out life on earth yet. What’re we going to do? Send the wealthiest of the world to colonize Mars and ruin that planet the same way they’ve done to earth?

  20. Right? Lol People started keeping track of time during the renaissance??? Well sheesh, that really makes all those ancient sun dials and other time keeping devices rather silly now doesn’t it?

  21. Dogs are also great for finding survivors after earthquakes and/or building collapses and emergencies of the like. There’s a million reasons why dogs are better than people. The ONLY negatives about dogs are that they don’t live long enough and I could make a fur coat just out of the fur I get off my face in the morning when I wake up. It’s annoying and makes me insane… and I wouldn’t change it bc it means my boy is always nearby!

  25.  @adamandsteve13  don’t give up my friend. It took multiple attempts with different meds to find something that worked. But once you do find something that works, and at least start feeling less tired in the AM, you’ll know it’s starting to work… just make sure you keep a network of ppl you trust and keep on talking bc that’s so important. And remember one thing too, it’s not just the meds that fix things… they just give you the wherewithal TO deal with things. If you need a friend, shoot me your email and we can chat a bit. I still struggle, and still need to do the leg work… but it’s possible today. A few years ago I couldn’t have said that. Be well my friend. Please comment back if you’d like to stay in touch or anything

  26.  @jacoboc2244  thank you friend. I’m very open to new coping techniques or activities. I will definitely look into that. I really appreciate the advice and your kind words, genuinely thank you. I wish you well too brother.
