Do you ever feel like doing something drastic?

Postby billyblueeyes » Wed Apr 18, 2012 2:09 am

Just curious...when life gets stale...what to do? Do you ever feel like doing something drastic. I really feel like busting out tonight. What kind of drastic action would you guys take to break out of a rut? I'M 34 years years of age and feel like an infant! BBE

Try skydiving. Even if it doesn't get you out of the rut, at least you have a story to tell. I also heard it cures constipation.

edit: (in all seriousness, glad to hear you are feeling better)

Hahaha I'm laughing with you you trust me!!!!!!!!! I feel the same every day as my medications do help I miss the rush of off the handle mania and the often thrill seeking and adventurous life it brang me now........I sit scared to trigger myself into that state......last time I almost didn't get to come home.
So what is a fella to do live like a child.........or jump on his motorcycle and ride 160mph through the desert? Let me know when you figure it out.... :shock:

Hey Billy Blue Eyes,

Lately I've been suffering from really bad mixed episodes so I'm looking forward to some dullness and predictability. :D

However, I've felt like that before. Sometimes you do just got to get out and do something. A few months ago I just drove to a friends house I hadn't seen in years and was like "we're going out for dinner now!" :mrgreen:

Keep safe though and take care.

BTW - Skydiving scares the hell out of me. Your much more brave than me Gamer.

Skydiving sounds fun, but I don't trust myself to open the chute soon enough :lol: .

Sometimes I feel like going jogging in the middle of an intense storm at 2 am, but that hasn't happened yet.

Right now, I'd like to knock over all the bookshelves and drawers in the house just so I could put them back. Moving things around is very relaxing to me.

A little less drastic than actual skydiving, but still fun and exciting .....skydiving in a wind tunnel!

Just don't open your mouth in the tunnel like I did. All the saliva in your mouth goes flying up into the sky, or in my case, the instructor was right in front of me and it hit him ! I was SO embarassed :oops:

^Cool story :lol:

I used to go out for a walk on the beach, call someone, get high/drunk, and whatever that came next, but I don't live near the beach anymore, so I fear that the next time I'll have to borrow someone's car (not a good idea) or just get drunk and either stay in this neighborhood, where I could easily get robbed/raped/beaten up if going outside, or walk down the centre of the city, where the chances of getting robbed/raped/beaten up on my way are exactly the same.

I sometimes want to color my hair green, purple, blue, or make it a rainbow, paint my face, put on a t-shirt with a print "F..ck you all!" and walk outside like that :D I'd go like that to snobby places like designer stores and some other places where this outfit would be totally inappropriate :D

That all your T-Shirt said? PFFFFT I got worse than that. Nasty and just plain offensive and I bought them for exactly the reason (complete loss of impulse control and risky behaviour)

I used to walk from home to town (5 mile hike) at 3 or 4 in the morning through some rather dodgy areas for the same reason.

Now i can live with bored because I can actually sit for a few hours and read a book and that right there is a blessing indeed.
