NICE AVATAR BTW.

It's a sacred place... Buried inside one's mind. You have to go through the forest of broken hearts, cross through the empty desert of starvation, (and as you are famished) find your way into the lustful valley of poision candy (Candy that looks oh-so-delicious, but cannot even be touched), and then you will find the fountain of happiness. It is a hard, ruthless journey, but it can be done.

&OH THANK YOU

hmmmmm.... sounds... a little hard and ruthless. you know i'm not all that unhappy to begin with. i try to keep in mind it could be a whole hell of a lot worse anyway u_u;

question out of curiosity though, does this involve meditation? i feel like i should get into that but i never...do.

Yes. Meditation is a good way of concuring negative emotion. 'Bad feelings' are natural chemicals created within the brain, and then sent through electrical signals to the nervous system. There are ways to stop (or limit) these chemicals... And so far, it has definitly helped me.

Having manic depression, I cannot understand how people can be in such a content state of mind daily... But reading more about it, it has to do with the chemicals and hormones your body produces.

hm, yes, i have naturalist/materialist beliefs. it's all chemicals. the bad thing for me is, i know there are a lot of things i could do to help improve my mood naturally- better diet, exercise, regular sleep schedule, etc.. but don't :/

meditation seems like the easiest out of all that, though, i should seriously think about it.
i have bipolar too, it's pretty wild. i've had some insane manic and depressed episodes. there's not a doubt in my mind it's a legitimate disorder, i think it's sad how disorders get bursts of attention an suddenly everyone has it. makes it shitty for people who really do, lessening the seriousness of it.

at the risk of sounding like some kind of nature freak/conspiracy theorist, i suspect the causes of a lot of these disorders is all the chemicals and shit going around. like, after reading about a study, i'm fairly convinced add/adhd is caused by flouride in the water supply. hff.

This is so true... I think a lot of people would feel better if they did. It's such a small change, yet it's one of the most difficult things to do...

Haha I can't help but to stay up until 4 in the morning... As well as not exercise... And as far as dieting goes; I'm on adderall, so I don't take a lot of interest in food, or water. It's done a lot of damage to my health, I have to admit (I used to weigh 118 pounds, and I am 5'5), but I have been eating more, so I've been feeling a lot better lately.


Yes... I agree so much with you. Although I don't understand why people would ever fake something that horrible... It's not like they can get health benefits or anything... Not to my knowledge anyway. But it does seem like people are faking a lot of things these days...

I find that being bipolar can really effect your judgments and decisions in life.. And it's scary... Because you never really know 100% of how your future will end up. It's just a matter of how well you can control it...

And that's interesting.. How would fluoride effect your mind?

What? how the hell? I want some happiness from a fountain...is this fountain filled with soda by any chance?

I take this journal as you're feeling good so I'm glad about that.
