This has completely changed meaning after J49 started to use LF as his avatar. Can't you use Hodor or some shit, Tarrant?

It really has. I already sort of had the feeling when looking at LF, but now every time I look at it all I can think is "Magic Cock!"

I should make him change his avatar, this has been my Tuco Ned Start substitute since a few weeks into Rerolled. If you can find me a cool Littlefinger picture that is worthy of use then I'll switch to that one.

Watching my stepdad deteriorate so quickly is getting scary. Too much to get into, but any time my mom is around him I feel she's pretty much in mortal danger. He talks about death/suicide all the time, he's on a cocktail of pain meds and alcohol and is barely coherent, and on top of that he rants about paranoid doomsday shit all the time. (which started back when he took a job basically helping this rich guy build his fucking bunker)

He can barely walk when sober from the pain so the difference between "normal" and shitfaced is nearly indistinguishable.

Have you considered a brief inpatient stay? You sound like we have very different definitions of 'functional'.

I know it's a bad idea. That's why I want the feeling that comes with itwithoutactually drinking.
Marijuana. Has the same self-confidence boosting and social aspects of alcohol without the slurred speech, stumbling, or wanting to piss on furniture. You might just talk a little slower. You don't feel unintelligent as you might when drinking one too many... and, hurr hurr, people might say stoners act retarded but when compared to a drunk you'll seem like a god damn Einstein.

I think what I really need is to try some kind of psychedelics.

There's more and more research showing a sort of... reset effect, when it comes to anxiety and depression.

The effects of pot vary widely from one person to another. Personally pot makes me less confident and less social in most situations. And I definitely feel dumber when I'm high.

I also like how people always compare marijuana to being off-your-ass drunk. It is possible to have a few beers to loosen up without throwing a lampshade on your head.

I just think that for someone in a deep depression, the last thing they need is a dependency on pot, booze, or anything else not prescribed by a professional.

Self medicating is indeed bad.

Pot also makes me retarded. Hell, that's why I smoke pot when I do smoke it. Sometimes you want to get chemically retarded.

It does make me a little more social. But I think that's probably less an effect of the drug and more the situation in which the drug is used.

Going for Computer Science. I wanted to go for actuarial science but voc rehab wouldn't agree to that due to it not meeting their minimum jobs per year req.



Very true.
Hop by the CS thread for general life advice, code review, humiliation, class advice, etc.
