i have to be a little disclosurisiven...
monika, the girl that's been dating me, has decided i'm incapable of making it through life without committing suicide... i shit you not...
she'se certain my psychiatric state requires psychiatry. i disagree.
this is not a cry for help.
i'm open to suggestion. i've already scheduled some visit with some witch doctor. but if that comes up clean, i'm tempted to throw it in her face. like federer, or some shit. and then move on.
court is in session.

So is the argument whether or not to throw it in her face like Federer or whether or not you should see a psychiatrist?
Well, there are few people in this world who can go through what you went through and not have side effects. If Monika is worried about that, it is only because she cares about you. I would take her advice because it never hurts to get a check up when it comes to anything. And when you come back clean, then yes, throw it in her face like Federer.
Yeah, I agree with Bear, except for the last part. "I told you so" is the least effective thing you can say in a relationship. A great quote I remind myself of from ol Bright Eyes,
"a good woman would pick you apart
a box full of suggestions for a possible heart and you might be offended, you might be afraid
but don’t walk away, don’t walk away."
Sorry if this is too mushy, but I think it is very true and helps men swallow their pride.
i posted to hear what you guys have to say... if this is isnt swallowing pride then i dont know what is.
Both have great points...
yes, it never hurts to see a doctor whether it's mental or physical. Mental doctors can only be effective if you are willing.
"I told you so" is very ineffective....in fact 9.5 times out of 10 it will only make it worse, maybe not immediately but long term it is not a problem solver.
Third point, condoms do prevent babies....ask Chambers
Fourth point, that is not a comment from someone who doesn't care about you quite a bit
Happy 4th....less than a month to greatness!
Marc, why does Monika think that? Is there reason for her coming to that conclusion?
i have to admit that this is a bit melodramatic. more than anything she finds me unpredictable. i've admitted to manic episodes, and strongly believe that we all contemplate our existence to some extent. that being said she's one of the few people that goes through life unaffected by it's low points. i on the other hand have had a few low points. yin to yang. and have been affected by the lows. i don't think i have any issues now, in fact find that i'm as lucid of mind as ever. she thinks the future will tempestuous, and i agree. should she stay or should she go now? if she stays there will be trouble... if she goes it will be double...
I believe Monica cares for you and that she has no ulterior motive in her recommendations. If you broke a bone and had to get a cast to enable it to heal strait, and then required physical therapy to restrengthen the muscles around the break that would not make you weak, only human. The brain is as much a physical part of you as anything else. You can listen to and trust Monica.
Basically every friend has said the same thing. But advice is easier to give than to receive.
I'll throw it out there. I was a regular attendee to the head doctor during college. Every individual has their demons regardless of life circumstances and deals with them in a variety of ways. Talk to the doc, see what he / she has to say, and then reassess the situation. Keep me posted, and always a phone call away to shoot the breeze, talk about the random girls we have hooked up with, or life. I'm always down.
thanks for the input fellas... to be continued.
