Damn wyatt...

I thought this was a chain letter at first.

Dude We'd miss you too much if you pulled a maneuver like that and it was your time. No doubt I got man-love (no homo) for you bro, that would have been uncool you not at least reaching out to us.

You've got someone looking out for you, definitely.

I would genuinely miss you wyatt...

....so don't do that again

I facebooked you, get at me Wyatt.

Good luck Wyatt, all this for smoking some weed is definately some bullsh*t!

the "chemical imbalance" is a typical human cycle. some times our chemicals get out of whack when we are stressing out or what not, but it can all be handled by the body. you know how the people on psychological drugs are right? the zombies of the world? THAT is what the human body looks like when "in perfect balance". chemical imbalances are what make us have emotions, which makes us different than most mammals...

there is 1-2 cases out of 100 that medicine is the best procedure, but psychiatrist will go to the medicine 100 out of 100 times. psychologist will talk to you, at least 3 or 4 sessions, and won't recommend you go to a psychiatrist unless they think it really IS a chemical imbalance.

but let's keep this about wyatt. wyatt, question, did you schedule with a psychiatrist or psychologist?

Good to hear you're setting up some time with a psychologist Wyatt!

ya, i dont know how i feel about that chemical inbalance thing. I have never been on antidepressants, but my mom has a history of depression and she said it works for her.

The lady i talked to today is the kind that doesnt perscribe pills. whichever that is. lol Im gonna go have some sessions with her so it will look good when i go to the judge, showing i am getting help. She said she will advise me about meds and reffer me if im interested.

KEYZER SOZE · 08-27-08, 08:05 PM

First and foremost, I'm really choked up right now and I hope I find the right words. I congratulate you on being brave enough to be transparent enough to tell your story. I'm sure it was very difficult to share with us.

Depression is a serious issue and it's great that you're getting professional help. The cool thing is that you're not alone. At some point, we all have situations where we feel that our lives are too difficult to bare, and we contemplate suicide (or worst) attempt suicide. No one is exempt! The long term resolution of depression is determined by the route we choose. Drug ab/use is the absolutely worst way, although the quickest means to escape. Fortunately, there are better and more healthier ways to manage your stress. Personally, I choose to work out, write rhymes, repair/detail cars, watch youtube and basically immerse myself in anything that I find enjoyable, pleasing and safe. I avoid bullshit, because I can't handle it. I just snapp!!

Right now, I'm on probation too. I would have tested positive for THC upon being placed on probation, but luckily they did not test me. I took this as a sign and I haven't smoked weed, drank alcohol, or been a sexual prowess since March 31, 2008. I added up all the positive things that have occurred in my life with drugs and sleeping around and I couldn't name 1. Therefore, I cut-out all the "bullshit" in my life. If smoking marijuana appears to be something that you can not live without using, you really need to re-evaluate your priorities! If you won't handle it, it will certainly handle YOU. Focus on the big picture..."having a prosperous healthy meaningful life".

I hope you find your higher power, because without HIM, your life will be void of purpose and meaning. It appears as though HE has already rescued you from YOU. At age 36, I realize my higher power is my Lord and Savior-Jesus Christ. Something that I never thought I could truly believe in until HE rescued me. I owe every waking day to HIS grace and mercy. He's the only reason that I'm sharing my thoughts with you.

Maybe this is sorta long, but I need to tell you this: I love you, God loves you, we all love you. This is why we are here offering you our support. You owe it to yourself to get treatment/help in order to beat this. I pray that you will be the person coaching, couseling, listening, supporting someone who is going through the same situation one day...as I have done for you. Stay strong!!!

MountainLegend · 08-27-08, 10:19 PM

Wyatt,
i want to thank you as i have had a day myself...was having a little pity party for myself with a cig...my wife (soon to be ex) is busting my balls with a sledgehammer...& she is trying to alienate my kids from me...and right now, they are what I got, all I got...it is hard to try to find the silver lining...but this shit too, shall pass... and i needed a reminder and instead of going and blowing a doobie, as that is my way to rid the stress as well, as it might cost me my kids, as she has said the most EVIL things you can think of, and so, i have had to keep a clean head, as i have no idea what the man is going to make me do...it is not easy...but i had to find something that mattered...like my parents, who have been unfailing in there support, my kids who have nothing but love for their old man...and i know that my kids will find there own truth, as i am not that guy she says i am...i have to be bigger than that...
anyway...back to my pity party...so i was looking for some distraction...some solace, so of course, i logged onto AL.com...and there you are...
so I need to say thank you...as you helped me today...we are all experiencing something negative, but also we all have some positives as well, ...and i am with you, as it seems to have the negatives coming at me at the same time, but as others have said, its a journey...

and we ain't giving up... as we are ok, they are fucked...now say that a few times with me... i am a big believer in the Desiderata...( google it if you are not familer with it ) it is not to-to holy rollerish but has some points that we all need to be reminded of now and again... like the part that says...

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

so as Keyser said, you are strong, for sharing, and in my case, you helped someone else too...you just never know, but we got to hang out to find out... so just a couple of things...

1. i love me some chuff, but now is -not- the time, and when it is , I'm pretty sure the are going to keep growing the crunk while we are on hiatus

2. what ever "it" s, this too, shall pass

3. as you can see, there are alot of folks who lives you have touched and we (& now me too) would miss the shit out of you... sounds like you are on the path back (try music, a great mental healer)

4. your OK, keep breathing...

5. Winston Churchill said "When your going through hell, Keep going..."

find your balance, be chill,...and again, I thank you, as you made me feel not so alone, not so pathetic, and reminded me that i'm OK, and THEY truley are fucked... be good to yourself, be safe, tell the folks around you that you love them,...and come back here, as that is where we hang...
MAD props brother,
hope this wasn't to effen sappy...but you bring out the best in some people...
(fist bump for power to the good)

Thanks Eliot. Im glad i could help you somehow. Maybe thats the whole grand scheme of things. What if i actually did it, and you didnt ever see this thread, then you snap, hurt yourself, so on and so forth. Maybe its a little far fetched, but the universe works in mysterious ways.

i want to thank you for your post. Its very touching, im truly, truly, touched i was able to help you. Best of luck with your Kids, i hope you can at least get joint custody. im from a broken home, except for the fact i lived with a guy who i thought was my dad until i was 15, he abused me, not sexually, but physically and mentally. After he quit paying child support, my mom tried to sue for it, and that scum bag tried to counter sue saying "hes not even my real son, why should i have to pay for him?"

this after he pretty much raised me as his kid, told everyone i was his kid. Even changed my last name to match his. Then he pulls that shit? Fuck that guy. I havent seen him since i was 15. the last time he hit me, i was 14, and i was just about as big as him. So if i ever see him today. Ill be sure to return the favor.

I have since met my real dad, and he is a stand up guy. i dont blame him for not being there. It was just one of those things. But he is around, and supports anything i do.

it has made me a stronger man since. Best of luck Eliot. Take care buddy.

man austin that was deep! glad your still with us man. and im also glad you took something good from it. we should all take something from this and be better folks.
You are truly blessed Austin!

L3G3ND91 · 08-27-08, 11:32 PM

i do knot know you but your on al.com so your a friend to me. you have a gaurdian angel some where. hang in there and things will get better little by little

MountainLegend · 08-27-08, 11:39 PM

W,
can i get a "yea man!"???

i'm feeling better already about the whole shooting match... and as I look back, there are a couple of times, i thought, "shit this is it"..but it never was...and as well we would be foolish to think this is the last shit sandwich that life is going to hand us...gotta stock up on that emotional bank to see through the tough times...plus, just like today, i'm sure you would want to go back and change things, as i hate in many ways where i am, but the past is just that, the past, can't change it, it is what it is...we just need to be reminded to apply that to our future affairs, for the next time were feeling a little stupid, a little bit alone...

and i just got my kids to bed a few minutes ago, and man, i gotta tell ya...it makes my worries seem a joke compared to how truley blessed i am...they are healthy, and fairly happy (slightly confused with whats going on, but wern't we all as kids?)...my parents are still together, matter of fact just celebrated 50 years together a couple of days ago...blessed.
Shit, all my fingers and toes work...blessed...i'm employed at a good job (currently anyway) blessed....that bitch made me sell my Ack, (and got to meet Reboticon, a damm good man by the way!) but i got new honda ...blessed ...plus now i can get a GS next time...blessed...
sometime, in the future, when its right, and i choose, i'll be stuffing the sour diesel..kickin back cold chillin with my boyz...blessed...

i think i may be some what like you in that I'm not afraid of dying, i'm afraid of not living...and therefore, in someway letting down or dissappointing those folks that know me, count on me, give a shit about me, just for who i am...same same with your mom, etc... it was tight for us today, but tomorrow, tomorrow is another day, with a whole new set of opportunities to live, and be alive, 1 day at a time, 'til were made men...at then we get to look back and laugh our asses off and say remember when...blessed!

Were OK, they are Fucked...you remind me , i'll remind you, & we meet at the next NALM, (even if i don't have a new ACK) and i'm buying...
hell, we could be freezing our asses off on some nameless mountain in afganistan missing everyone we know and getting shot at...damm were blessed...
Be good to yourself... and no really, thanks again!

Dude, if you need to talk, I'M RIGHT UP THE STREET. We can grab lunch or something sometime, or all the time, if necessary, as I now work off Burnet. Holla @ cha boy. I'm glad you didn't commit suicide, as going to hell would really suck.

i dont believe in Hell. But ya, ill holla at ya. Once brian moves down here we will have to get the LSL crew back together. +1 XT haha

whats77inaname · 08-28-08, 12:26 AM

If there's a Heaven, there's a Hell. But that's another discussion altogether. One day we might get together and talk about it.

And I wouldn't suggest telling your PO that you tried that, either.

Wehrdienst · 08-28-08, 12:49 AM

No one wants to see you go. I'm glad came to your senses, and even happier that your attempt at suicide was a near miss. We are here to hear you out, no matter what and you can always shoot me a call or something when you're feelin down or something. Just remember that no matter how bad you have it, someone out there has it worse than you.
