IF you can...

Post #29,577 by folkert 2/24/02 8:26:03 PM Reply	IF you can... get an emergency appointment with your doctor and take a LONG lunch. Take it man you need it you sound like I did a while back. I could not get out from underneath it. It took medications. My brother in-law had a simlar thing, but he only needed medication to bring himm back to normal and is no longer taking medication. As he now able to maintain the Balance. Just not able to bring the imbalance back to balance. Get an appointment do it now (or at 8AM when you Dr. opens), the sooner the better, It could be as soon as two0three days when you start seeing (and feeling ) a change. My first Rx took 2 days before it started to make a difference. I could not put a finger on it how I felt, but the change was going on and I could tell. Can't explain the feeling, but it wasn't that gnawing feeling I know you have. IF nothing else the gnawing feeling was subsiding. Took a long time for me to get to a point where I felt good, can;t say as though I really feel the best I can. Being 315 now (loosing weight now down from 370 recently), I can say it mae s a big diff. I plan on loosing another 120ish pounds. I have read and taken to heart [link\|http://www.fourmilab.to/hackdiet/\|this document]. It really makes for a boring read to those not in the industry fo IT or technical areas, but really helped me. Just read it and I mean read it too, don't just glance and skim through it. Norm, get some help to bring your life back in order, an osteopathic doctor is what I have and that extra schooling the doctor has, has paid off in many ways for me. He can prescribe more thing in better doses than most doctors an can even get "alternative" treatments approved by most insurance programs. Fare thee well and much luck to you in your endeavors. `greg, curley95@attbi.com -- REMEMBER ED CURRY!!!` In 2002, everyone will discover that everyone else is using linux.

I only get a half hour for lunch and it takes 20 minutes to drive there and 20 minutes to drive back and however long the appointment will last? He is off on Fridays, and I am off on Fridays. He doesn't work weekends. So basically either I have to quit my job, or find another doctor. I have no comp time, or paid/unpaid time off until two months from now. Even since I was put on this paxil and other medications, I have been gaining weight. I was 240 when I was in the hospital in August, and I am about 275 now. I've gained over 30 pounds since then. I have been basically starving myself, avoiding meat when I could, and watching what I eat. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."

Get it done. Stop putting up your own road blocks. 'Cause I know no-one in your immediate family, to help you out, I cannot do anything else. Good luck, I have given as much as I can. `greg, curley95@attbi.com -- REMEMBER ED CURRY!!!` In 2002, everyone will discover that everyone else is using linux. Linux: Good, fast AND cheap.

It took multiple painful iterations for me to absorb each lesson, and I see little point in repeating the experience. Cheers, Ben

I am getting extremly tired of these false dilemmas you constantly bring up when someone challenges you to change. The "poor little me" act is wearing very thin my friend and I, for one, will not be giving you much more thought. Get your head out of your ass, quit whining, get help.

Post #29,842 by nking 2/26/02 2:53:57 PM Reply	I am not in my right mind I just went and fucking quit after you told me to take action and I damn well took fucking action! My doctor didn't have any appointments until May, and told me to check myself into a hospital because I am depressed and suicidal. So I will do that. I am tired of all the bullshit that people are giving me and I will either get better or end my life! Please tell that law firm I used to work for that is paying you to harass me online (your handle looks very simular to one in their list of "schill" accounts that they used to harass people online and spread false info about rivals and other parties in lawsuits). Tell them to stop it or I will take legal actions against them! If you do not hear from me, I will either be in a mental hospital, dead, or living homeless. I am just tired of living!

They get to experiment on you and it doesnt cost you a dime. thanx, bill "I'm selling a hammer," he says. "They can beat nails with it, or their dog." Richard Eaton spy software innovator

Goodbye for now. I'm about to slash my wrists before they send someone over for me. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."
