That's why I'd want another brain. And maybe a brain that lacked the ability to perceive hurtful/negative actions from others toward me. That probably sounds selfish... But it's bound to happen to me regardless. I can't escape it without never expressing myself in any way ever again. I'm sick of it, and almost nobody cares. They just ignore me or do little things to spite me all the time. I'm not allowed to move on.

Sorry if this is another ugh post.

I used to be a really negative person etc... like you feel now. I don't feel that way any longer, not even close....so maybe that's why I wouldn't change it for anything, it made me who I am today, and it made me stronger in the end...

It can make you stronger? Wow... Well, you're right. I am an overly-negative person. But the thing is, I'm afraid to let a psychiatrist administer drugs again, because the last time I did, it had a complete opposite effect on me to what it should have had. My atypical depression became clinical, on top of everything else. I guess it's the state I'm in now, just emptiness, waves of sadness, bleakness etc. it's probably too much to ask for others to really understand when I'm at my worst :/ - But for them to fully understand, they'd probably have to have gone through it themselves, and I don't really want that either.

Sometimes I feel that I would like anyone else's brain. Just get me the hell out of my own head!!!

yes, my friend. I learnt this in: Who wants to be a millionnaire!
You don´t want Monroe´s brain because you already have it.

Agree with you. No-one can know ours issues. Neither, other people with similar problems.

You, guys always with your literary meaning!

Poor people in many countries sell a kidney for money.

Think a bit more! For esample I want Bill Gates´ brain. for obvious reasons.

If I had to choose a even more materialistic part, I would choose Shakira´s face.

hmm it may have been because you were on the wrong medication, what works for one person wont work for another. I had a hard time on Celexa and had to get off it years ago, I worried about that everytime I took something new.... but found what works for me now.
I have clinical depression as well, though i've not felt depressed for awhile...

There in lies the problem. Maybe my 'other' brain could find a solution.

Trial and error I suppose. On the flipside, it probably can't get much worse than this... I'll ask. Thanks for responding.
