I gotta say this, psychostimulant's are good for my depression, not only for the "focus" the mood in general. Amphetamine, Methyphediate, Caffine, it's just a fact and I don't want people to see it as an addiction. Addiction's change the way life is. It's just i take it, and i'm fine.
Anyway's let me get back, just coffee it's 6:29pm, i drinking a cup. It's working, could it just be this one case? because it help's so tremdously.
Just hope I can go to sleep.

blog,
It's 9:44, caffeine help's with alertness, some attention. Wakes up. Not much with the feeling dexamphetamine provides which is focus-motivational like, increase / better coherancy in speech. More anxiety is with coffee. Brain stimulation is more from dexamphetamine.

stims are good stuff for depression. and yea... the addiction stuff thats attached to their use is BS. Sure people get addicted but alot dont either. I had my run with coffee for depression and I gained seriously 20 pounds. Lol, gaining wieght on coffee? yea i did. Must have done something like hypoglycemia and insulin and cortisol and stuff. I was soooo hungry!! lol

You know, I thought that I was just eating (there are times, when blood sugar goes down, and i thought i was just eating at night, natrually)
Diabeties doesnt run in my family, so...that is a random couicedence. What I do know, it just comes in spurts. I need to get a SPECT scan soon, have to off medications, and see what my mind look's like from it's deficiancy in dopamine. That's kinda why stimulant's and l-tyrose help, because it restores dopamine function at least till normal, same thing with blood sugar, eating can be an addiction, but there's this feeling to eat to restore something.
Wierd..
Thanks for posting.

yea I know what you mean!!! but rj.. I hate to say Ive left those types of "feelings" behind because I recognize them as grandiosity and mania stuff. You seem like a grandiose person? You said that you have a hurtful relationship within your household?
Gradiosity stems from feeling powerless. You feel like you lost control of yourself and future, so you make up grandiose things to replace that feeling of powerlessness.
I have strong feelings of destiny, health (like I can feel my brain working and I know what chemicals are moving), etc. These, for me, I have recognized as my grandiosity.
My manic depression is so freaking interesting. I feel almost psychic sometimes, I have mental hallucinations. So strange, yet so interesting. I feel like some one is behind me sometimes, like if I'm laying down, I feel like someone is in the room sneaking up on me. I feel false presenses.
But I have never full out hallucinated ever, like visually.

people who discuss maybe feeling powerless, at sometimes feel "worth-good feeling", that's just how i see things.

I do take cofee and its rare but it helps me when I do it. It even help with my social anxiety I dont know why , maybe because Im feeling betterSo everyday in the morning , when Im in my job , I lfet a cup of coffe at my place then , when I want to feel better or if I feel bad , I go to the coffe no matter if its cold and I take the whole cup vrty fast
One thing rara , I have notice good results with the cofee that you have to evaporate, The other coffe , the one you have to disolve with a spoon does help me that much , what would it be??
