Watercooler/Slowchat 2: Son of Watercooler

Bottom post of the previous page:

GP isn't sure if it's depression or not, but she made it clear she wasn't saying it definitely wasn't.
She's worried it may cause issues with my other medication (You know), so she's advised asking my doctors at Nottingham if it's ok to take them together or not.
She says if things get worse before Nottingham (3 months time) or if they say it's ok that she can help me try some antidepressants really soon after, so that's nice.

tl;dr unsure, but GP's ready to act as a safety net.

You go with psychological problems to general practioner?

Where else? plus most other places require referrals from... well, take a wild guess.
Plus as I said above, my GP *CAN* actually get me the medication for it, if necessary, so it's not like it's the "wrong" place to go.

[XSI]

Generally, as far as I am aware, you go to the GP for anything that doesn't qualify for the emergency room at the hospital. Then the GP sends you on to whichever specialist can handle in depth diagnosis and/or treatment

Might be different in the US, but this is what I know of medical systems and it seems to be working fairly well

[Timbrewolf]

I saw a few psychiatrists when I was younger but eventually my care plan was just medication that would need adjusting over time prettymuch at my own discretion with a check-in from my GP.
I'd simply tell them whether or not I needed it for the time being, and if it was strong enough to handle the problem, and they'd give me the script.

It may seem kinda lax for a drug that can so drastically change a person but the truth is it's not something you would ever, ever want to abuse in the first place.
Prozac, zoloft, other SSRI's, shit like that helps a person who genuinely needs it and FUCKING COMPLETELY RUINS THE CHEMICAL MAKEUP of someone who doesn't need it.

Nobody is going to be buying/selling that shit on the street corner or taking it for fun. The people who need it really need it and the people who don't should stay the fuck away from it.

i was out skating in between classes and i texted my friend about getting lunch and all the people in the group chat was like "no we got lunch and we saw this guy" and im like "who" and apparently one of my friends accidentally made eye contact with some dude walking and he just sat down and started yelling about like buses or something

and like

he kept playing music from his phone and he was playing nightcore and the fucking crazy frog song

[nsos]

i need to see that guy

[Falamazeer]

Awesome Nsos, guess we know theterbs is still alive.

[Malkevin]

I found it funny the frog had a dick on full view for a couple of years before anyone noticed, then they put a massive borat censor bar on it

[420weedscopes]

my brother and a bunch of his friends did warhammer shit when i was younger
the only information i gleaned from that was that paint was for sure the most expensive thing
£5-10 for a tiny jar of the stuff
like it was Good Paint but still

[nsos]

i need to see that guy

UPDATE: SAW HIM

thankfully our table was full

[Thunder11]

Paint must be horrifically costly if it's the most expensive part, after what I've heard about the prices for models

[A3STH3T1CS]

does anyone have the video of spongebob and squidward bouncing up and down to deathgrips

[Remie Richards]

~New glasses~
wooooo!

I actually hate how I look less now!!1!
yaayaayayayay!!!11!!!!one!


Edit:
found this funny video on the subreddit

Spoiler:

[youtube]ED2d-sx5pg8[/youtube]

watched it a few times, only to then notice that it's my changeling sprite they're using.
completely flew past me the first few times.

[420weedscopes]

glasses are GOAT

[EndgamerAzari]

My classes start at 9am EST tomorrow. Time for three months of information deluge and panicking as to whether I'm actually absorbing anything, hopefully followed by a well-paying and not too soul-draining job.

[ThanatosRa]

There's going to be a Carlin special on the 16th

Apparently this was recorded on 9/10/2001, and he said something to the effect of "I like it when a lot of people die", and then a day later 9/11 goes down and they decided to shelve the recording

15 years later and we finally get to see it

I own his last Autobiography "Last Words". One of my most favourite books. The last chapter is very bittersweet as he had plans to do a broadway play that was different than a lot of what he'd done before, but obviously his heart gave out so he never did it. A life full of great loves, great success, great pain, and a lot of fucking drugs.

[Timbrewolf]

I drank too much last night and Ive been nursing s hangover all day. Fucking sucks.

[Wyzack]

Work hangovers are the worst. One time when i was still working in a car parts factory i got real real fucked up on a sunday night because it was my GF's birthday. Got like 3-4 hours of sleep, got to work the next day, was still drunk. I regard it as one of the worst days of my life. The hangover slowly crept in over the course of the day, and i was working hard the whole time. Jesus it was awful. Since then i have never made that mistake to that degree, although i do occasionally push it and have a mild to moderate hangover. Now that i work in a lab though it is not nearly as bad

[Malkevin]

Try going to work when you have full blown alcohol poisoning.

Not my proudest moment, pretty sure its fucked my gag reflex and several internal organs.

[Remie Richards]

Take my mum to the dentist, things don't go well, she goes to work I go home, get to bed for about 12 (midday) (cos I've not slept the previous day).
Wake at 7PM, I can work with this, watch things I want to watch and talk to people I want to talk to.
I'll just close my eyes for 2 seconds.
1:40AM...

*sigh*

[Super Aggro Crag]

Damn son, I'm dying.

[Timbrewolf]

The worst I ever experienced was showing up to work with a pretty fierce hangover, and a Gatorade.

I started to bounce back but then started to crash hard. So I kept chugging the Gatorade. Man I just gotta hydrate. Gotta get those vitamins. Electrolytes are the shit plants crave, right?

Turns out the Gatorade WAS FROM 1996 and had just been in my pantry for that long and I didn't notice. I was fucking poisoning myself ontop of having a hangover and it was awful as you can imagine. Ended up going home after vomiting pretty heavily multiple times, then drank water and spent the next like 18 hours straight curled up in bed trying not to die.

[Super Aggro Crag]

I've had a hangover. Once. I stopped having them, though.

[XSI]

I've never had one yet

I plan to keep it that way

[Remie Richards]

I've never had one yet

I plan to keep it that way

same, though I can count the number of times I've drank alcohol on 3 fingers.
it's 3 times (honk).

Once at a christmas 4-5 years ago, had 1 glass of babysham and I became a braindead lump for the rest of the night.
About 8 months ago (I think) I was with my close friend circle at one of their houses, and I had some apple sours.
About 6 months ago that same group of people went to the pub and we had a pitcher of some stuff and it was ok.

none of those times did I -really- drink drink, and the first time I would have been 14/15 with no prior drinking experience so that's probably why It hit me so hard that night.

[XSI]

I drink occasionally, but I am and was aware of how shit hangovers are from what I have been told, and have drank water or juice as well all those times I drank

I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything either, so I will continue doing what I have been doing in that regard

[Remie Richards]

I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything either

This right here.
What I have drank was alright.
but... nothing special really, so whenever we go out anywhere I tend to just get J2Os, orange juice tastes just as good as any alcohol I've drank.

[Wyzack]

I love me some OJ but i like beer and scotch too much to give it up at this point

[DemonFiren]

Ultimately we all hydrate with water and water accessories.

[TheWiznard]

I tend to only drink with my buds at their house, there's just something about sitting around a fire drinking. my only experience with alcohol thus far had been just JD whiskey, but last Saturday I bought some of the jd honey and man I really love that stuff. I had about half the bottle of that (it was a cheap $20 gift pack one and had two 375ml bottles) and boom I'm in that sweet zone for the rest of the night but I'm not really feeling the hangover the next day. I remember (different time) I was chilling at my buds house sleeping over that night and the next day I had to ride my bike home because we were out the day before biking before then fire, my legs were already dead from before but I don't know how I pedaled home.. unrelated to alcohol I bike on a mountain bike on the highest gears because idk that's how I am

Highly sugary drink with lots and lots of added sugarsalt.

Probably not the best thing for a hang over because both of those things dehydrate you further.

[Screemonster]

irn bru is the best fucking thing for a hangover and I'm not just saying that 'cause I spent my immediately-post-drinking-age years in glasgow

[IrishWristWatch0]

Th best thing for a hangover is a big breakfast.

[420weedscopes]

[youtube]rMAhcffQqRs[/youtube]

i drink fruit cider exclusively

[Screemonster]

irn bru and a breakfast pack, fuck ye

(breakfast packs are fuckin' fantastic as a post-gym thing too. Wake up, lift for an hour, eat a fuckin tray of meat)

[Remie Richards]

I warned you about those bikes

[Wyzack]

You kids wanna smoke some bike?

[Remie Richards]

You kids wanna ride some bike?

ftfy

[Timbrewolf]

If you've never had a hangover you're missing out on a critical life experience.

It feels like absolute shit but at least there's some solidarity/empathy there. Brotherhood of the bottle.

[Wyzack]

I will toast to that

[IrishWristWatch0]

But if I never have a hangover, I can be a twat and lord over you as if I've made better life decisions and also speak really loudly right next to your ear.

In case I ever do drink, how should I combat a hangover?

Everyone jokes about cures but the only real cure is water and time

[Timbrewolf]

Eat food. Take some painkillers. Hydrate. Take vitamins.

The problem with all that is that a true hangover kills your appetite and makes you fucking nauseous as hell. The whole world is sea-sawing, something in your head is trying to claw its way out, and you just want to throw up forever.
Everything smells and tastes wrong. Everything is excrutiatingly loud. Everything is blindingly bright.

Like imagine feeling so shitty that just hearing a noise makes you want to puke. NOW YOU'RE INNIT, SON.

[Ricotez]

Drinking a lot of water BEFORE you go to bed works wonders.

Really thick fog today.
Really thick drivers driving around without any lights on today too.

"Hurf durf, I'm sure if I drive without fog lights or head lights or running lights people will still see me cos I'm in ma beamer and the sun shines out me arse"

[ColonicAcid]

Yo I've been reading heavily into kidney cancer and I read an interesting fact.

Alcohol can be attributed to many, many forms of cancer. Stomach, Liver, Pancreatic etc. If there is one carcinogenic substance that isn't called smoking and you should probably stop doing it's alcohol. Here's the thing though, in a cruel twist of fate your kidney's actually don't have any form of alcohol caused cancer, in fact, alcohol actually helps prevent kidney cancer. So you could live as the paragon of human health but one day you will get Renal Cell carcinoma and have to be on dialysis for life if it's non-metastatic (if it is metastatic then good fucking luck) or you get something far worse such as transitional cell cancer, all of which could've have been prevented had you drunk a couple of pints here and then.

Human physiology is a fickle thing and more often that not completely arbitrary.

[Malkevin]

Thanks, makes me feel better about giving in from dry september last night.
