But I've just realised there isn't really that much to write about, so I'll keep it brief.
Been on medication for a few months now, diagnosed with borderline schizophrenia, which basically means I'm psychotic, but I know it.
The medication is fantastic, I'm far less confused than what I was, I'm not throwing myself at dreams without realising I'll need to work for them, stuff like that. I feel a thousand times better, like I've been given a new chance at life, it's fantastic.
I'm still desperate to animate a few stories of mine, but now I realise I really need to practise and work at it. With so many fears now seeming pointless, I'm finally picking myself up from the gibbering mess I managed to end up in. Makes me proud to be me.
And after.. something like ten years I guess of fighting myself, I'm really beginning to feel at peace, able to use the fighting sense of my mind to carry me forward, instead of in pointless circles, trying to look too deep into things that really don't matter that much at all.
So all's good. I've decided not to go to Uni, just get a job home here, and work on animation in my spare time. It's not something that's going to leave me in a hurry, so I think I'm safe to say I can carry it on no matter what I do.
So, what are people up to? Anyone on medication and it's helping/making things worse? I had a bad experience with anti-depressants myself, but has anyone had successful times with them?
And how's everyone generally anyway? Finally got my new pc working after more than a bellyful of hiccups, been away a while, all's well I hope.
"Does that mean you can shoplift things and then blame the "other" Grix?"
I'm saving it all up in case one day I really really want to kill someone, then I'll just plead insanity and get away with it.
Hell, why not?
Its not Windolene though.
Write a mental poem about kittens and massive flowers and stuff, then roam the streets waving your arms about talking about god being a surfer or something.

- The day I learned that anti depressants contain bromide was the day I resolved never to take another one. I mean christ, how on EARTH can cutting down on ones sex drive alleviate depression? If anything, it'll make you feel worse.
- Never ever ever ever try taking about 3 antidepressants when one can't get hold of Ecstacy for a night out. Really. Don't. You get about 20 minutes of utter euphoria followed by 6 days of mind numbing paranoia and melancholia that would fell a concrete donkey. Stick with proper pills and their nice safe additives such as Harpic.

OK fair enough. I have a few tripe flash anims that will never go out, too.

Pills are great!

I love how medication can seemingly untangle the mind. It's like magic.
