I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. Seems like you might have appreciated it in the past. Why did you feel you had to have your account deleted? Seems so extreme. Just stop posting. You seem angry and I wonder if it really has anything to do with this site?

Pluto mentioned 'Thou wast not born for death, immortal bird', and that's from Keats's 'Ode to a Nightingale', and the stanza I quoted is the third.
What I meant about English was that they have stopped teaching that sort of English here, though maybe they still they teach it where Pluto comes from.

i'm sorry he didn't understand what you meant about English, i knew what you meant since you were quoting poetry.
what i like is that each word impacted me, each word is meaningful...thats the kind of poetry i love.
i've started getting serious about my writing these last few months. and even going to try to get some of my stuff published. i'm a newbie and have much to work on...but i just don't have time for my art (i work in oils) and with my little one right now...i miss it so much and poetry has seemed to fill a void and infact even filled it and expanded it. i'm able to express in poetry somethings that i can't in my art. which i like.i'm in touch with a poet at a university here, he's been very helpful to me and has encouraged me (well pushed me) to take a class this fall so i'm officially enrolled and start in august. and am quite excited. i only wish he were the teacher, but i had to take the night class which he doesn't teach.
sorry went on and hijacked thread but wanted to share with you.
thanks for the Keats
since i'm new to poetry, i want to hear others and learn of poets.
so anytime you think of some you like feel free to babblemail me some. i'd love it.thank you
b2c.

Dear Friends,
I went to pharmacist without anyyyyy hope at all. Just asked him how to gain the pleasure I lost in daily activities. He suggested go to doc and get an antidepressant prescription. NO dear. I won't go to docs. Can you give me something that will prompt me to live at least a little longer?
He would give me a full pack only, not a few to experiment. Well, it was a small red packet. Written trivastal retard 50 and I had to strain read it. piribedil.
whether to take or not, I went back home. Pharmacist cautioned to take after food and only one not more than it for the first time. Drool.. I took two soon after food. Oh...good guy also had asked me whether I have a benzo in addition to take because this may cause agitation. I didn't take anything, but went to bed soon.
Today...waking up .... my goodnesss..... what a change...? what happened to me? Where that obsession to death disappeared? Geee... I sang loud that annoyed next door guys. Who cares...? I am filled. Sun is shining brighter than ever. For the first time in many months I turned on my stereo. See how sweet is Celine Dion..! I am alive... I sang with her.
Guys... I can't describe this feeling... let me stop and assure you.. some meds are really from heaven.
Phillippa, SLS, B2chia, sorry I can't type all of your names, so please don't get it I ignored you. Thanks for the wonderful support. I am going to the pharmacist again to know whether I can increase the dose... I want to be more happier. And no more Docs. Damn docs. That pharmacist knew what I need and that is without an appointment without paying single penny for consultation. I paid the price of medication. I need more. I will be back... soon..
"Tomorrow is always another day"
Let me sing in joy. Euphoric...? NO. I am normal... lalalalalalalala a
Cheers

I want to be clear about this.
You have just witnessed a change in your brain function that has brought you out of the depths of despair to having feelings of joy. There is little pain. You now experience life as the way you should have for years.
Please write down all of the ways that you feel improved. Do this immediately so that you can capture the moment should you need to reflect on it in the future.
- Scott

Hey Pluto,
Sorry you want to die. I used to obsess about suicide all the time, but I got over that somehow. Nowadays I love life and want to live to be 120 years old.
I have fun nearly everyday. Even what some people might consider boring is fun for me. It just takes seeing the world in a different way.
There is hope for you Pluto. I used to be like you, researching ways to die. I wanted to hang myself because that seemed like a sure fire way to die, but what I ended up doing was overdosing several times, not really to die, but just because I felt bad.
I'm all over that now. Don't lose hope. You can be happy like me.
Maybe you just need a specific combination of meds, therapy and fun.
Have you tried taking a fun trip somewhere?

I just read the whole thread.
I'm in disbelief that you can switch to happy so dramatically.
If you really want to die, there is nothing we can do for you.
I hope you'll choose to live. There is much fun to be had in life.
All the best.

You sound like you think you don't have any symptoms, but you do. You have a serious (and probably treatable) mental illness.
The only thing I could suggest is to beg, borrow, or steal enough money to go to a very reputable mental hospital for diagnosis and treatment. I'd sell my house, my car, and my dog before I'd kill myself. (And yes, I've been tempted.)

I just wanted to cover all the bases. If he was just pretending to be better so that we would stop worrying about him, then I would have shown that I saw throught that and cared.
Now if he was really better, then he is better, and will tell me I'm wrong, no harm done.
I don't see anything uncivil about my post and I WAS trying to help.

Hi oky. I appreciate your support of Pluto, but please don't post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down.

It might be best not to reply until you've heard from Administration, or if you do reply to be very careful with the civility guidelines.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
Follow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above posts, should of course themselves be civil.

Just be aware, Pluto, that this so called "pharmacist" is breaking the law selling prescription drugs without a prescription. Sooner or later he'll be caught, and you'll have to find a new source. Cecilia

Thanks for explaining, but if you think someone might be pretending, please don't post that you don't believe them. Because that could lead them to feel accused.
But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person. And Pluto, I'm sorry if you felt hurt.

In reply to Trivastal-Pluto, posted by Cecilia on May 21, 2008, at 21:11:35
In certain areas (including some states in the U.S., if I recall correctly), pharmacists are allowed to prescribe certain medicines. Pluto is not in the U.S., to judge by the fact that Trivastal Retard was even available.
I am glad that Pluto got a medication that was helpful.

Hi,
You mentioned your unhappiness with your current marriage and wanting a new affair. I have always been told to get rid of what is making you unhappy in life. I find myself getting very depressed when I feel "trapped" in my relationship and the battle of staying monogamous. I think maybe I am meant to be alone in life, although ideally I want to be normal and have a wife/children. Just a thought. Not saying any of that's true, but just something to ponder. I am currently thinkig of removing myself from my job and girlfriend as both cause me unneeded stress and unhappiness. Good luck to you. Please let suicide be your last option. Instead go on the lamb to mexico to the beach or something and live it up without a care in the world ;) yeah don't we wish it was all that simple. good luck

trivastal does make you able to experience pleasure pretty immediately
try to stay at the dose that is working
that gives you room to increase laterenjoy
