Hmmm, I need an "anti-something"

An anti-psychotic? No not exactly.
An anti-depressant? No, that’s not it.
I need a darn anti-happiness pill. I’m too happy!!

I feel good for most of the days despite what would look like a terrible situation to most people.
The jobs in jeopardy, I’m having roommate problems, my back is killing me every day. I’m just doing average in school.

But I feel good most of the day. In my current housing I live with 35 people in three different buildings, there’s both men and women. The men outnumber the women. I have to share a room but my roommates cool and a pretty nice guy. I like him and I like his girlfriend, she’s one of the nicest woman I have met. She’s 27 and above average in looks.

But we get along well for some weird reason. I like her. I have embarrassed myself a dozen times over when I’m near her and I think, "Well, she’ll never talk to me again " but she is still nice to me and acts like it’'s no big deal. She’s cool. In fact I am learning this about people, (or at least my neighbors) that I can screw up and no one is going to hate me or hold it against me.

I always worry about making faux puas in my different living situation and so I don’t talk to anybody else. But now I learn I can embarrass myself and the world doesn’t end. No one is holding it against me. It’s real freedom.

Im feeling really good today cuz I’ve been productive and really adjusting to a place five hours away from home after a bit of a transition period. But I’m so hungry. All day long. I keep eating and eating but nope. Still hungry. Idk what’s wrong with me! Had a good telephone call with my mom earlier and am excited about the future. Feeling good.

@77nick77 sorry about your back and your job. But yes, mildly embarrassing yourself in front of pretty ladies is one of life’s simple pleasures. Just stay away from that locker room talk with the roomie, or you’ll just say nothing and blush the whole time.

@Moonbeam Tofu? Are you a vegetarian like me? When I was on the west coast it was about sushi for most folks.

@Kazuma Yay for bunnies! My last rabbit died very recently. Soon we will get more. Actually, pet rabbits are partly what inspired me to go vegetarian. All animals have a personality.

That’s a funny way to put it but it’s true.
Girls like guys who aren’t afraid of looking foolish every now and than. That’s why the guys who get up and dance in clubs in front of a crowd are always the ones you see talking with pretty girls they just met while the rest of us guys are stuck hanging out together sipping beers and laughing at how stupid guys look when they dance. But they have the last laugh.

I have a slight infatuation with California. I’ve never been there even though I visited the USA. I look at youtube videos of LA etc.

OK, that’s kind of cool. I lived in Los Angeles when I was in grade school. I remember some things about it but not a lot. Hopefully your infatuation will blossom and turn into true and pure love, lol.

I live with about 40 other schizophrenics also. I don’t feel bad here. In fact, I feel pretty good, like you. I’ve been in this situation for over 15 years, though. I think it is time I tried something different.

What are your options Crimby?

I can move into public housing, which is good near where I live. There is a grocery store in easy walking distance, as well as the building where public psychiatric services is located. It’s a nice setup.

Yeah, it’s good to take a chance sometimes and kind of shake things up.

Even if you don’t live in the state or country it is crucial u go to this site before getting more bunnies. Cause if u do the research on there ur next bunnies will probably be some pretty happy fellas. Shes like the Jane Goodall of bunnie or something. And they have a facebook page so if u have one u can send them a question too

@77nick77, I can only speak for myself here, but it’s refreshing when a guy can be honest enough to admit to doing (or allow themselves to do)something “embarassing” in front of me.

I tend to gravitate towards those that aren’t afraid be a bit silly, because they are much stronger than those who cling to a group and criticize from a distance.

All humans make mistakes, so that makes perfect humans liars.

The only perfect people I know are liars.

Have you noticed how people who are grouchy never seem to know it? Is someone you know a grouch? Could it be that YOU are a grouch and unaware of it? Here’s a little quiz to help you decide

• Do you go to bed hoping that you will wake up in a bad mood?
• Do you ever pretend to be sleeping to keep from having to talk to anyone?
• Do you often speak in short grunts instead of using words?
• Do your teeth ever feel sore from grinding them together?
• Do you wake up in the mornings with a bad breath and an attitude to match?
• Have you ever screamed at the alarm clock?
• Do you avoid taking pictures because you really don’t want to remember?
• Do you often complain that a restaurant is no good, or a good restaurant could have been better?
• Do you frequently use the phrase “Get Over It”?
• Have you ever volunteered to be the designated wet blanket at a party?
• Do you like it when people avoid you because you’d rather not be bothered anyhow?
• Is a major source of your nutrition black coffee and aspirin?
• Have you never had a GOOD hair day?
• Do you call vacations a reason for slackers to avoid working?
• Did the local undertaker advise you to cheer up?
• Do you love a traffic jam as it gives you a reason to rant?
• Do think taxes are too high, politicians are crooks, and there’s no point in voting because it won’t do any good?
• Is your best moment when you say to someone, “I told you so!” ?
• Are you are always in a hurry to get there late?
• Do you ever argue with the newscaster, the sports announcer, or anyone on TV?
• When someone says, “How are you?” do you tell them the truth?
• Is the some of the best advice you give when you tell people where to go?
• Do you avoid celebrating birthdays because smoke from candles aggravates your allergies?
• Are you afraid to smile as it might break something?
• Does your dog only like you when its time for his food?
• Do people walk around you on tiptoes?
• Do you avoid television because there’s nothing worth watching?
• Can you spit nails faster than a nail gun?
• When you walk into a room does the temperature fall?
• Have you ever been accused of snarling?
• Have you been offered a transfer to the Complaint Department at your company?
• Are you unable to remember why you are mad?
• Do you use your spouse or co-workers as a sounding board or a dart board?
• Would you have to improve your disposition to be a called pessimist?
• Could your attitude benefit from CPR?
If you answered yes to most of the above, you are probably perfectly normal. If you denied them all, you are undoubtedly a grouch and need a major attitude adjustment.
