Hi,

Which games for the Wii do you have?

The weather here has been bad too and it actually gets the better of me (in that it depresses me further than I already am). If you do not even see humans as objects, then what do you see them as?

Kevin.

For Wii I have Metroid Corruption, Super Mario Galaxy and Zelda: Twilight Princess. My perception towards people is depending. In a bad state, it’s like I’m living in a ghost town – no one registers. It’s like being trapped in your own mind. If I’m in a good mood, then I can function relatively well. “Less than objects,” are one of a few phrases that boom through my mind to discredit people. I’m very aware of my own issues, so it’s strange to me too. It’s nearly impossible for me to take other people seriously, in any regard, which is what makes times difficult. I'm mostly severely lonely right now, and as per usual, have no real people to communicate with.

how do you like your psychiatrist? Or are they just for drug dispensing?

She’s okay; we haven’t been working with each other that long. It’s my first woman psychiatrist; the prior two have been men. She’s suggested drugs, though not to the extent of the others. Mostly she wants me in group therapy, which I’ve tried. Though, I must say, "drug dispensing" best describes my previous two psychiatrists. They weren't cute like this one

But I don't need drugs much as I need social therapy.

I'm assuming that you are male then! I'm male too, and 24 years old. I much prefer dealing with female professionals (counsellors, psychologists, therapists, etc) because they are more empathetic and genuinely seem to care about your well-being. This is not to say that all male professionals are like this but, in my experience, they have been.

Therapy is always much better than drugs for this type of thing. However, doctors usually like to prescribe drugs in conjunction with therapy. Drugs on their own can only assist you a little.
