Kinda a serious question.

As far as I can remember, I remember a medium length negative period, a short positive period, and a very realistic and - dare I say - "apathetic" feel in between both of those.

Not that any of that is bad, just my observations. You have a really realistic outlook on things and the world around you. I know you were struggling with some stuff before, but it has certainly made you a stronger person since :]

I can't remember any specific time frames, but thats how I remember much of your postings here.

I saw the title and thought "oh no, he wants to start a family or thinks he may have started a family."

But if anyone has paid attention at all, has anyone noticed "patterned" changes in how I type or respond? Like being positive for a length of time, then getting negative for a length of time as an example.

PMS, Seasonal depression, PTSD, Bipolar, manic depression are the things that come to mind.

In literature men don't get PMS, but I wager they do experience a gender specific form of it that doesn't involve blood loss, or cramps. Manic Depression doesn't quite fit. The others do. Somewhat.

(It would help if I didn't confuse you with Oisterboy and Ronin)

Pre Post EDIT:
I stand by this after seeing your second post in this thread

[Proxzor]

I remember years ago that you were very negative and I have seen you be more positive for the last 4/5months maybe more

[darkness35]

Probably stressed out, but I somewhat recall you being a bit more negative.

You've definable had your negative and positive lengths of time, but IMO no where near what classifies as Manic Depression.

I suggest going to see another therapist. A huge problem in the field right now (something that has led to a lot of criticism) is the fact that more and more psychologists and psychiatrists are "jumping the gun" a little and immediately prescribing medicine for something that is very simple.

I'm currently in school to be a psychiatrist and one thing I've found out is that more and more people in the field are attributing very minute changes in behavior as a kind of disorder.

My advice is to go see a professional psychiatrist (if you can afford it) who can do multiple tests (i.e. brain scans) to see if there are any irregularities. These scans are a lot more effective since they're based on hard evidence. There are certain parts in your brain that will fire abnormally if you are Manic Depressive and then they'll be able to tell.

Yes, definitely. Imo, you have grown up a lot. It also seems to me that you kinda had some breakthroughs in the past regarding how to life your life. From that I am assuming that you are slowly finding the place you can be in and which can work out for you. Regardless of the fleeting nature of stuff that is posted on the web, there is always something we can learn about others in it.

I consider it in a way similarly important to the personality of someone, like dreams are. Not all the times, but mostly, dreams are just what our mind comes up for fun in it's leisure time.
What we write in our posts is strikingly similar.

I usually have a rule against telling people what I come up with when I "internally" profile them. People often do not allow themselves to know stuff for a reason.

I'll make an exception, though I am going to leave the majority out tbh and much of it might sound like it applies to everyone for that reason.
@Yourself:
You need to accept that you are you. Nothing can change what you are. Not even yourself. Don't try to force and bend yourself towards an idea of yourself, it doesn't work. Until you fully in a psychological sense clear that up, you are in danger of trying to force things, which could trip you up.
Aside from that, trust what works, even if you do not trust yourself. Take the steps you need to, that work for you. Think ahead, be careful and stick to a plan. Also put some time aside when you can to figure yourself out and work on getting to understand what your person is made of.
Pick your fights wise. Protect what is worth protecting and let go which doesn't mean anything. Look ahead and don't forget to make up your mind. Make decisions in due time. Don't worry about everything all too much.

I feel shallow for making that post...
Take what you like, ignore what you want.

Yup. You seemed like a douchebag before but now you dont. Realtalks.

My advice is to go see a professional psychiatrist (if you can afford it) who can do multiple tests (i.e. brain scans) to see if there are any irregularities.

The only real way to find out which electroshock therapy can cure you is doing brain scans.
