Titled: Possible cure for suicide ?
Text: This "system" should only be considered BEFORE carrying-out that act which gets performed successfully by roughly 20% of those diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder. No cure has yet been considered for those who wish to apply this "afterwards":
Whenever the suicidal thoughts begin to take over my entire being, I remember to take two (2) movies off the shelf (and watch them) ~ specifically:
1) Love and Death (Woody Allen - 1975)
and
2) The Meaning of Life (Monty Python - 1983)
After watching the aforementioned movies, I have usually utterly stopped taking myself and my existence quite so seriously, and can focus on more pertinent issues, like "should I donate my liver ?" (just kidding, I think ?) ~ or as the song says - "... So Mrs. Brown, when you're down... just remember that you're living on a planet that's evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour... (etc...)"...
Having said that, I will now vanish and banish myself, in the method appropriate to conserve universal disorder !!!

My problem was always that if I'm depressed enough to be suicidal I'm generally curled up in a fetal position and too depressed to function enough to start the VCR...
I always had to wait it out, pray that the meds (and time) held out until I felt better.
Chmical imbalance for me never responded to humor but personally I don't see why laughter, which triggers a chemical reaction of it's own, can't play a part.
Play it straight kiddo.

Laughter is totally the best medicine. I like watching What About Bob because it means that there are other "crazies" out there like me and it is a hell of a lot of fun to drive psychs nuts! Bwa haha! I highly recommend seeing that movie if youve never seen it, it's really funny.

"Banishing thyself to conserve universal disorder" or voluntary self extinction, is to commit oneself only to repeat the lessons in this life unlearned in successive lifetimes, via reincarnation, I believe. My brother opted so many years back, and I communicate with him now and know his is learning much on "the other side," which is actually the greater reality.
I love your reminder that we are "living on a planet that's...revolving at 900 mph." I have a meditation CD that reassures me that I am safe and secure, lying on my solid bed, resting on my solid floor, on the solid structure of my solid house, on the solid earth...and then I snicker to myself "AND HURTLING THROUGH SPACE AT 900 MILES PER HOUR!!"
Thank you for sharing your dark and sparkling sense of humor with us.

Addendum reincarnation prior to final digital self extinction (disclaimer)...
Jorob ~ Actually, you're "spinning" at 900 miles per hour (or less, depending on proximity to the "poles") - but you're moving around the sun at roughly 67,000 MPH whilst spiraling around galactic central point at a rate I can't recall at the moment, as the galaxy itself continues exiting the initial "singularity" at some millions of miles per hour !!! And you thought you were just sitting docile at the computer !!!
It took an appreciation of the motion behind the emotion to get me restarted...
Thanks for sharing !!! I'll go quietly, now... Let the 4's be with you (font size)...

Hello Downtrodden,
I'm having a hard time reading between the lines for a change...
How are you doing? A bit manic? I always made the most wonderful cosmic connections, wasn't sure if you were just verbally jousting or a little "up"...
Check in pls,
Bj

You've brought me out of the digital closet with those Indiana charms... But only for the time it takes for a muon to disintegrate in the earth's atmosphere times 20... I am experimenting with Italian influences - but their consciousness seems to be on an opposing schedule...
I honestly thought they'd converted you into "hbguide" - the one that actually hints or tells people they are proceding down the wrong path (that which leads to the digital afterlife)...
ONLY YOU, via your jostlings in the Relationship areas of daze gone BI can thoroughly appreciate the day-2-day stressors that have me bouncing like that horrible green thing...
An apt description of MIXED STATE MEN AT WORK ???
I visit as if on some transcendental plane... It was nice communicating for a byte... Arnold is now saying "She'll be back" - so I guess I'll go to Sacramento and see Maria Schriver or something !!!
With the digital :angel: 'S... As the mashed potatoes said, "Peas be with you".
