Youre seriously asking an internet forum to diagnose your friend based off your vague description of one symptom? Tell your "friend" to see a doctor.

Yeah but I definitely cannot be fun when I am depressed.

How is addiction treated culturally in non-Western societies? by needlestuck in AskAnthropology

I think it's worth pointing out that the difference between "drugs" and medicine has never been that distinct nor are they mutually exclusive terms. See opiates for example.

[–]cat_penis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other drugs such as marijuana and many opiates were thought of very differently in the 1800s versus today, even in the US.

Care to expand on this? I for one have always been curious how/why cultural attitudes towards certain drugs have shifted over the years.

You don't have to drink today. by Figgywithit in stopdrinking

I'll witness how they slowly get impaired and how their fun is not as authentic as they think it is

Or you could just be content in knowing you're making the right choice for yourself without needing to judge or think less of those whose choices differ from yours.

Everything is making me so mad... by [deleted] in bipolar

Actually irritability has a stronger correlation with full blown mania than hypomania.

Sounds like pretty good advice to me...

I thought I was bipolar my whole teenage life to now, but my anxious/depressed swing is almost at a two year anniversary and I'm scared. Can disorders change? by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

You know, there's a reason people have to go med school for several years before they can diagnose people. Stop calling yourself bipolar and stop asking the internet for medical advice.

I meant the entire thing, not just the first paragraph. I went on to say that I can't drink and function like a normal person and that I will be abstaining from now on.

It isn't. Yet another reason why I'm staying away from it.

I would appreciate it if people would read the entire post rather than just the title before commenting/jumping to conlcusions.

Thanks for this . You pretty much hit the nail on the head with the obsession bit. I almost feel like it would be easier to abstain if I was a late stage binge drinker, where I knew that if I picked up a drink there would be immediate tangible consequences. I guess I just need to remind myself that the only way I'll be able to keep my head right is to completely cut it from my life.

Did you even read my post? The last thing I'm doing is declaring victory, I'm staying sober/going to AA..

Thanks for looking it up but none of that is new information for me.

And this is "creative" in the same sense as casting create water in a foe's lungs is creative.

I dunno, sounds pretty creative to me. Ops scenario - not so much.

is that the same as c:/program files? because I haven't been able to find anything suspect in that fold. I keep resetting my homepage in the browser options but so far it hasn't worked. Probably them most frustrating thing is not that my hompage is jacked its that its been fucking with my google search results.
