I have to ask.
This thread isnt intended to belittle people - pass judgement - make fun of them..
but the question begs to be asked ... over and over again i've seen people mention depression, alcoholism, medication .. etc etc etc .. I'm starting to feel like a freak here. I have no depression, i have no dependancies.. I dont even drink tea or coffee i barely have more than a beer every other month ... I dont smoke .. dont do any chemicals (never had) I've never been mugged, i dont know anyone who has .. i've read more stuff in these threads that to me are more horrifying than any of the movies we came here to discuss .. so am i a complete misfit in a Horror forum ??!!! (i'm not being stupid .. i'm really wondering about this)

Well...since you've been so polite...I shall answer.....I have been a beer drinker since I was about 17.....pretty much a weekend warrior.....especially now in my 40s...its a few on the weekends and thats pretty much it. My dad was a policeman as I was growing up, so I pretty much stayed away from drugs...sure I tried pot a few times...but I got paroniod and stuck to the beers.
Now that I have kids I do try to be a little more sensible .....but I do like my beer......so fucking sue me...It's my only vice...give me a fucking break. Last edited by newb; 05-13-2005 at 09:12 PM.

I drink quite a bit, but I lead a normal, happy life. I mean, obviously I don't get out drinking too terribly much, or I wouldn't be on here all the damn time. (granted, almost all my time on hdc is while at work, but still)
so, unless you consider regular drinking abnormal (which is isn't), then I'm fairly normal. but also, art has always attracted the freaks and fuck ups and face it, horror movies are art (I hate to say that word). and anyone who is a big fan of something artistic (movies, books, etc.) is usually going to be more abnormal that someone who is, say, a big sports fan.

the irony here is that its my degree of love for movies, film, literature that set me apart from 99% of my peers ...
i'm not odd so i become drawn to these things, I'm odd because i'm drawn to them. (odd to the people i work with) most people my age care nothing for anything other than their 5 hours a night worth of shit on TV... but i do have my real friends .. who are musicians, writers, artists ... the thing about these people is that they understand passion for things. they are driven to create .. I dont have the talent but i have a passion for their artistic output ... but i dont have a tortured soul ...

I think that, right now, I'm just in a position where I've had so much shit thrown out at me that I literally do not know how to cope. So they diagnose it and give me pills. When I get out of this situation, I'll be, 'Normal'. Dependancies and depression are full of shit. It's a state of mind. I've met people who are put on pills to keep them from questioning how fucked up shit is-- and it's pretty fucked up-- because the people in charge would rather make money off of them being medicated then spend money on getting them into a better situation... I'm talking about children... When I'm twenty five, I'm sure I'll be free of dependancies and 'depression'... I was put into foster care, and when you're put into foster care, they HAVE to pay attention to the way you think... and the way I think is too negative for them to leave unmedicated... so they diagnosed me. Yeah. I'm sure tons of people say that they have such things to be a part of something. I'm sure that's what this thread's about, really. But there are those who make money off of this, they're to blame too, they'll diagnose anyone who even halfway thinks they need help...

There are just those who got mixed up with people who will take your money to help you feel normal. I can honestly say I'm the only person I know who suffers from depression (I know a couple of people online, but that's it) I've never met ANYONE who's had that harsh of a life, but most of my family's made up of addicts (Mostly to alcohol), I doubt urgeok doesn't know anyone who depends on something, and not depending on something himself is incredibly remarkable (internet counts too, urgeok, I think), But, overall, I think he has a point. Maybe the mentally fucked up people meet online.

Y'know what?
I have NO IDEA. I do know, that, sans internet, I admit problems to NOBODY... ...and that's admitting another problem, isn't it... ...hahaha.
