        you're right. besides being incredibly inaccurate in several respects, it would also be quite rude. - znufrii Oct 24, 14:30 2
        
        [deleted] 1

  - aka breakfast. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 14:03 2
    - Will? -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 14:03 1
      - I don't eat breakfast. - Ghost Hunting Oct 24, 14:06
- Yeah, that's a f*ckton of fries. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 14:02 1
  - metric or imperial? -- nm - znufrii Oct 24, 14:12

      - sporadically. - tRuMaN Oct 24, 14:25 3
        
        if you are reading and walking you are going to be walking slowly. leave all distractions behind and just go for a walk. quick paced if possible. -- nm - Andie Oct 24, 14:34 2
        
        no, mp3 and walking -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 24, 14:35 1
        
        i guess. also, don't expect miracles in one day. get into a habit of the things that help. take a walk. no caffeine. no tv. take a hot bath even. -- nm - Andie Oct 24, 14:36
- also, last monday and tuesday - tRuMaN Oct 24, 14:04

  - he only wants to sleep for 8 hours.... - ghouly Oct 24, 13:58
- jerk off before bed. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 24, 13:56 4
  - thats fine for the first nod off, but after 3 or 4 shots you bump into the no exercise before bed rule -- nm - No Geist before its Zeit Oct 24, 14:05
  - I'm the anti-norm: This wakes me up. -- nm - ty97 Oct 24, 14:01
  - [deleted]
  - effective. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 13:57
- I think this has been brought up before, but are you taking anything for depression? -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 13:56 19
  - I started taking St John's Wort...made me alot nicer to be around and feel much better -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 24, 14:28
  - no, - tRuMaN Oct 24, 13:57 17
    - with the crap you've been through it's a possibility. - zork Oct 24, 13:59
    - really? might be worth checking into. it can mess with your sleep. also, it can make you feel, you know, down. - loosilu Oct 24, 13:58 10
      - i went to a few sessions about 1.5 years ago, the doc didnt diagnose that - tRuMaN Oct 24, 14:01 9
        
        might be worth pursuing again. there are many online quizzes. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 14:03 8
        
        i took a couple last month, and one for add or was it adhd, something like that - tRuMaN Oct 24, 14:05 7
        
        and your results were... -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 14:07 6
        
        i think they were inconclusive, plus its not like i would trust an internet test. I mean, have you met the internet? - tRuMaN Oct 24, 14:08 4
        
        the problem I had with those tests is they ask stuff like "Do you feel sadder than normal?" I had been depressed so long, I said "no". -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 14:09 3
        
        actually, in relation to a few years ago, i am way happier. so there - tRuMaN Oct 24, 14:10 2
        
        oh sure, I try to be empathatic and you're like this. ;P - loosilu Oct 24, 14:12 1
        
        i need to, and then i need to remember to turn it in to aflac to get that money -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 24, 14:14
        
        for his eyes only. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 14:07
    - it is a valid ST diagnosis however. - ghouly Oct 24, 13:58 4

        i was given two different kinds, i think the problem i had with one - tRuMaN Oct 24, 14:06
        
        what groiny said. the meds do different things for different people. On the right meds, I feel normal. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 14:05
