Corn chowder will always put me in a good mood. Reason is a long story full of touchy feely stuff.
For a different reason Prince elbow macaroni and Campbell's tomato soup can put me in a good mood.
The sight of a 1960 olds or any Alfa Spider.
Snow.
That's enough for the moment

CAN'T EVER DRIVE FAST ENOUGH
Haven't been able to drive since 2004 -- brain and I aren't always in synch -- but loved to drive before then and have managed to have fun behind the wheel in many countries and every state except Hawaii. First car was a 1956 Olds', second favorite car was a 1960 Olds', favorite car was a 1980 Alpha...

STANDING ALONE IS LONELY
People, I've been told, are necessary for people to develop and understand empathy. I have concluded empathy is not for me if it necessitates opening myself to the pain others inflict. Living as a recluse is all but necessary for me to survive mentally. My contact with the outside world is limited t...

SPEAK FOR THE WORLD AND ALWAYS BE WRONG
Elysium, forgive me for saying this, you speak as if you have the answers for all of us. I believe the only answers we have are those to a few of our personal questions.

YELLING IS GOOD FOR THE MIND AND HEART
In your position, at a similar age (60 years back) I took out my trials and tribulations on every member of the staff until I came to grips with who I had become. The staff felt I was too much but I needed to express myself openly and honestly or I would internalize it all and it was all the f...ing...

MINE IS MINE AND YOURS IS YOURS
I find that my depression is based in my life experiences. The shrink asks the same set of "are you depressed" questions each visit and my responses tend to reflect my mental state at the moment. The questions in no way begin to explain why I am down (or up) on myself, why I can't touch or...

JUST TO SAY I'M BACK
It's been a long and challenging time but I am back in the world of those who can communicate. Current depression drug is Cymbalta, which I believe doesn't work very well after 120mg a day for 15 or so months.
Hi to all.

mnk224, you have friends just for the asking, your fellow posters in this forum. I had to say the above. But your comment concerning friends hit a bell with me. I have NO reality friends and haven't had any since I got sober, 11 + years ago. Today, thanks to a couple of forums, I have a few cyber fr...

YuYu, your post states that you broke up with her. Look at what led up to your actions. Try to recognize that reality. With this knowledge look at your ex as a person who is bad for you. This doesn't mean you don't or didn't love her, just that a relationship with her doesn't work. As you honestly k...

mnk224, djr states clearly what you need to, find professional help. The samaritans are an excellent source of assistance. Also, you can speak with your minister, social services, a shrink (if you can afford it), etc. There are numerous public, free services where I live (Massachusetts). Hopefully t...
