Do you think a 30 second ad is anywhere comparable to 12 minutes of network coverage?

Do you think the media is so stupid in choosing what they cover that they would forget all other bits of news to break away to a Donald Trump conference where he is rumoured to be speaking in 5 minutes, so they just show a blank curtain and talk about him till he makes an appearance ? And you think that's "attacking" him? If they were really attacking him- they would talk about anything else.

Do you think a member of the Bush family was my boy? Who took over yer account? The only candidate that would do any good is the candidate they are attacking by not talking about him.
Keep telling yourself you're a real boy.

The point being, Jeb is proof enough ads don't beat genuine meme magic, Trump is able to use the media to his advantage in this way because he gets more views and it's more profitable in the end, even if it is mostly negative.


Also, don't forget news organizations are businesses, they will operate like one and you shouldn't get surprised when they do.

If I could write you a prescription for lorazepam, I would.


That would not be good. Benzos are poor for treating anxiety, especially long term. They work for those first acute attacks, but become a source of anxiety themselves as addiction builds, as the addiction is horrible, and withdrawal from a drug does the opposite of that drug (think anxiety attack x 10). Also, benzos are one of two classes of drug you have to schedule detox because like alcohol withdrawl, benzo withdrawal can be fatal.

Also, side effects and feeling dopey all the time.

I would get a physical make sure it isn't a thyroid thing, adenal gland thing, or something with the pituitary, or anything else physiological. Then I would try cbt or dbt instead.

Also exercise is great for depression. Naturally dopamine thing going on there.

Snake, this doesn't constitute medical advice because I can't do anything like that here but no polar disorder is something you should ask about. Bi polar II becUse I bet there is some mania there somewhere.

If you have a care provider and they recommend medicine along with other things it is worth a try. Sometimes the dials just need to be turned a little.

Worked great for me for the short time I had them. Never had to use them long term, tho.

And that's alright if you're depressed or anxious about something external that is temporary. That isn't the case most of the time.

I mean, if a parent or loved one died, or the loss of an ability, or sudden change in status, or other explainable things, yes, acute treatment for acute problem. With non-chemical interventions as well :) Psychosocial support is important.

With PS this has been a long-term theme that doesn't seem like it is caused by some external event. It could be some stuff with a neurotransmitter, it could be metabolic and affected by the thyroid, it could just be dysthymia or some other condition of life.

If your talking about Trump calling Jeb Low Energy and him talking about past failures - I loved it too.

He gets more views because the Media is purposely allowing him. He's not playing them, they are playing him.

I have an appointment with a therapist in mid-April. Yeah, it's been getting to me. I've been feeling intense anxiety, especially at work. Pressure on my chest, the desire to run.

Time passes so quickly when I'm not at work and it's now causing my performance to suffer. I don't know when or why I developed an anxiety disorder, but it's really unpleasant.


That's what you get for calling everyone cuck and making posts that read like game of thrones in teal colored text.
