Well Lurk, you know you have my sympathy. I'm, otr we are not alone. Many 
people I know have had their lives washed away.  I didn't realize it would 
effect me like it did since it wasn't my home town. But that's not the case 
cause it is my home town now, and so many people are feeling low here.  Each 
of my friends in turn has graduated to hard drugs - read heroin or crack - I 
drove one to rehab a week ago where she was enrolled. I can tell you 
stories. Of course my giving advice is the blind leading the blind.

If you're 54 you may be in mid-life crisis.  Or, maybe some physical 
problem. I am having to soon check whether I am hypothyroid since I have 
eating issues.

Anyway, the weepy thing I have alway had. I am pretty emotional from the 
outset.

 Shempster, glad I may be one of the first to respond here.  First, there 
 are probably a lot of us who are never more than a hairs breath away from 
 crying.  Second, just don't give up, even when you feel like it.  Put one 
 step ahead of the other, and continue to go forward.  Sounds trite, I 
 know, but if you keep plugging away, things fall into place one way or 
 another.  Other than that, you can't push depression out the door.  You 
 have to process it in some manner, and then sometimes it may just lift. 
 Kind of like when you have a persistent headache, and suddenly it goes 
 away, and your not even aware that it has gone away until after the fact.

 Wishing you the best.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: More despondency

2009-03-24 Thread Kirk
I can tell you all about alprazolam and diazapam. They are depressant 
benzodiazapines, used for muscle relaxation and to promote sleep. Xanax has a 
short half life of only two hours so it also can put you to sleep but then you 
wake up in just a few hours. It's not very good for sleep. It's much better for 
tension headache and TMJ which is why I have it. Valium has a half life of 18 
hours, so valium, in my doctor's words, has an hour come down which matches the 
symptoms of depression. Thus valium, he says, is addicting. Funny thing is he 
never asked me if I felt addicted to the 270 Lortabs he gave me every 45 days. 
But those I wanted. Because they are better antidepressants than anything on 
the market. Of course the acetominophen is bad for the liver, especially if one 
drinks. So that's another issue.

Here's the thing. Alprazolam can prevent clarity of mind. It doesn't last long 
though. That's why doctors give it out over valium. If you took one at night 
you really shouldn't notice any significant hangover. No. I used to get a 
depressive hangover when I would take ten mgs a day to keep my nerves from 
rattling during 16 hour shifts of people yelling at me. On xanax and valium you 
will incur memory loss, maybe even from just a little. But especially if you 
drink with them. I remember drinking a bottle of wine on top of valium and then 
I called everyone I knew and cut them off and erased all my phone numbers and 
it took me a few months to get the numbers and my friends back. I don't 
rememebr doing it. I just knew when I looked at my phone and I erased all the 
numbers that something bad had happened.  Xanax are bad, but if you're 
responsible, which I am not, then you can use them as a doctor prescribes.  But 
if you're like me then maybe they aren't such a good idea.  

They were prescribed for depression to help someone I know of who lost a loved 
one during Katrina. It took her three years and rehab to get clean.  

One thing some newbies to TM forget is that if you have lived with TM your 
whole, or pretty much your whole life, then it ceases having any specific 
quality. Thus it is of little use when confronting the usual day to day 
problems. I am not sure if I admire the idealists or think they're misguided 
dunces. I have the difficult problem of being around many heroin and crack 
addicts and stoners. I am driving one to her appt today. With a counselor.

If one hasn't figured it out yet, most everybody is fucked in some way. 
Especially the gurus who look all perfect. The more perfect you have to look 
the more fucked you really are. Nobody has figured life out yet. And they never 
will. Religions are not the life of the intellect but the death of it.

I do not recommend religion to anyone.

People should try GABA before they try the Benzos--or even after  
they've tried them. If you're a meditator and ever got the 'wave of  
relaxation' kinda bliss from a good meditation session, GABA is like  
that. In fact GABA receptors are what are activated in Theta and  
Gamma wave samadhis. It's believed to not cross the BBB, but it  
somehow must be getting around it, as it does work. Cheap too.


The important thing is, you have take it on an empty stomach. L- 
Theanine, the amino acid in Green Tea is the same way and also quite  
good.


Shemp, this is something inexpensive you could check out. It's

One more thing I forgot to mention, it IS spring the Kapha season.   And 
believe it or not you may need to try some kapha reducing herbs which 
are stimulating to improve your sleep.  Or eat more spicy foods.   A 
rise in kapha can produce depression.  My sister went through a 
clinical depression about 15 years ago.  One day I went over to go 
with her and a visiting relative to dinner.  She was in a funk when I 
arrived.  Having introduced ayurveda to her, I went downstairs, grabbed 
a bag of kapha tea and made it for her.  She came out of the funk and 
was her old self for the dinner.

I sometimes have problems sleeping straight through until morning.  
Having some kapha tea in the evening allows me to sleep straight 
through.  It's worth a try and pretty harmless.  Kapha tea can be made 
from 1 part ginger, 1 part cinnamon and a dash of clove.   You can throw 
in some black pepper too especially if circulation isn't that good.

Return to God the way you were born.
I do believe that it's when I am on this topic that I
praise God to the heavens. For as long as I can hold on.

Otherwise I was born Athiest.

Rastafari aren't supposed to get tats either.

I did my good deeds for the day.
I was nice to the supermarket girl, I gave a war vet two smokes, I gave a 
sick girl some Prilosec, I fed a depressed friend a line of sickening sweet 
bullshit that even sounded trite to me, but it got a laugh out of him.

And I also ignored the ants I trampled, I drank wine for breakfast, I drove 
too fast and blasted Ashes Divide out the open windows. I looked with lust 
upon many many women. Many.  I didn't cook dinner for my overworked wife. I 
asked the doc to up the dose on my Celexa. I'm yawning and stretching again.

And I haven't even confessed the bad things I did.
Not sure I got your point. Are we therefore more alike than we thought?

I left that part out figuring that no one would be an AHole.

Circumcision.  Covenant with God, God with Abraham.  Gen. 17:10-14 and Lev. 12:3

That's as far as it goes.  They don't get buried in Christian
cemeteries, however, because they've so far failed to accept the Lord

Obviously a Mersault as the acidity cuts right through the heavy soy milk 
and sugary sweetness without fully cleansing the palette so that the Capt 
Crunch and soymilk flavors can still linger, though without becoming too 
cloying. My preference in a Mersault is the multi-appelation Le Montrachet, 
which was made collectively by Drouhin, Latour, et al. I am not up to date 
on vintages. So many wines so little time.

There are two (main) theories on pairing wines with food;  like with like 
and opposite with opposite. So some people drink maybe something really 
sweet with dessert, such as the obvious Sauterne, whereas something heavy 
and red like a Zinfandel can go just as well with something like a creme 
brulee. However the complexity of Captain Crunch I believe calls for 
something similar but not too alike. Maybe something even less complex than 
a French wine, something maybe Germain such as an Auslese or Berenauslese. 
Obviously a Trokenberenauslese is a bit too over the top altogether in 
sweetness in which case the Capt. Crunch would lose its finesse and probably 
become bitter by comparison.

So you can sense that it's really a matter of taste.

 Return to God the way you were born.
 I do believe that it's when I am on this topic that I
 praise God to the heavens. For as long as I can hold on.

 Otherwise I was born Athiest.

 Rastafari aren't supposed to get tats either.

 I did my good deeds for the day.
 I was nice to the supermarket girl, I gave a war vet two smokes, I gave a
 sick girl some Prilosec, I fed a depressed friend a line of sickening 
 sweet
 bullshit that even sounded trite to me, but it got a laugh out of him.

 And I also ignored the ants I trampled, I drank wine for breakfast, I 
 drove
 too fast and blasted Ashes Divide out the open windows. I looked with 
 lust
 upon many many women. Many.  I didn't cook dinner for my overworked wife. 
 I
 asked the doc to up the dose on my Celexa. I'm yawning and stretching 
 again.

 And I haven't even confessed the bad things I did.
 Not sure I got your point. Are we therefore more alike than we thought?
 I appreciate your taking time out to ramble with me.

 Kirk, as you know it's starting to get warm where we live.  Yesterday
 night I was working at the shelter and I tossed a new shirt to this
 guy.  He pulled his shirt off and swapped it with the new one I'd
 tossed him.  I was blown away to see that this guy had multiple
 instances of the Star of David and his initials in Hebrew tatted into
 his torso.  I kind of just stopped when I saw that and didn't start up
 again.  Thinking over it, this guy can't have been a good Jew because
 Jews don't get tats.  Return to God the way your were born. When I
 think it over, I can't remember a single Middle Easterner with tats so
 I don't recall any with crescents.

 Just rambling.

Then how does anyone justify circumcision?



I left that part out figuring that no one would be an AHole.


Well you obviously figured wrong.
And why is asking a question being an asshole?
Or is a personal attack all you've got?

Circumcision.  Covenant with God, God with Abraham.  Gen. 17:10-14  
and Lev. 12:3


Yeah, most of us know that one.
It still doesn't jibe with returning
the way you were born.


That's as far as it goes.  They don't get buried in Christian
cemeteries, however, because they've so far failed to accept the Lord
Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
