what's it like in the places you're staying and/or visiting?
It's good man.

I'm outside of Dongguan which is a couple of hours north of Hong Kong.

Haven't been out much but from what I've seen, it's a lot more westernised than you'd expect.

Free Wi-Fi on buses, people are dressed smartly. Loads of money about.

I'm sure there are poor parts of the country too but I've been surprised on the whole at how modern everything is.







I'll start a thread when I get a minute.

Of course I will dude, no problem.

Yeah that's smog.

It's a lot cleaner where I'm living 20 or so miles away.

Honestly, I probably need to attend an English camp myself.

Disciplined Galt @Galt don't be blue you'll give me a sad. I used to have outrageous anxiety to the point I'd drive home on empty rather than get petrol just to avoid small talk with the person in the shop. Anyway I read an article on gut bacteria affecting mood but thought no more of it. Then early last year I had a long running chest infection which of course I never got treated.

So in February I'm all fucked up and saw this thing on Facebook about eating a whole bulb of crushed raw garlic for breakfast being an effective antibiotic and also that it resets your gut bacteria. So I mashed up a whole bulb let it sit for twenty minutes to activate and forced it down my neck.
The first half hour was rough because my body wanted to puke it up, once that stopped I started having a strong immune response. I was light headed and had achy flu like symptoms, I was also tired and was in bed by 9 pm. The next day I felt a lot better but had another bulb anyway, I didn't feel nearly as rough later that day and my chest was clear within a week. Another cool thing was it killed inflammation in my gut that I didn't know I had. I literally felt fitter and more flexible in my torso the next morning, so much that I was like "holy fuck".

Here's the interesting bit. My anxiety was very much reduced by it, I found myself visiting people more, chatting with people in shops, just generally feeling better. I eat a bulb a week now, I'm not free of anxiety by any means but the days of sitting in my own fucking house with a no reason knot of anxiety in my solar plexus is gone and I put it down to garlic weird as it sounds.

Everyone is treating this as if it's every day depression. You should probably get some professional help, man. It's not normal to think about killing people, tbh. I'm not trying to shame you or anything. It's good that you're confronting your thoughts, but what help are a bunch of MMA fan-tards gonna do? I swear if this is another troll/joke post I misread i'm gonna be pissed, ha.

he wasn't specific about what he was thinking about killing, and the grammar left it pretty open to interpretation

I guess I look at it slightly different. I was trained to kill people, so it does occur to me from time to time. I think a lot people have been so mad that they could end someone, they just don't follow up on the temptation. Actually murdering someone is definitely outside the norm.

Here's a test. A social experiment if you will.

Please like this post if what I'm saying makes sense, rainbow me if you think my statement is false everyone who reads it. Thanks in advance.

You told me what to do.... so I gave you a creative. But I see what you're saying, nonetheless. I personally have never wanted to kill anyone. When i'm mad there's not really a clear thought pattern. I just wanna punch shit....

You wonderful contrarian! I did ask though, not tell. :D:p

I could be wrong, but that's why I'm asking. I'll never know if I'm just a psycho otherwise. :D

I've suffered with anxiety, panic attacks, and depression my whole life. It stems from when I was born, I was really ill with a disease in my intestines that forced me to be in the hospital until I was three. I was pronounced dead when I was 36 hours old and in a coma when I was two for two months. My mom was my nurses and my dad was the doctors. My parents couldn't afford to move to Vancouver where I was but they tried to come and see me as much as possible. I don't blame anything on my parents, they are retired, healthy, and have done very well for themselves. We have talked about what happened and smoothed it all over years ago.

I have tried to kill myself on numerous occasions. It was so bad one night that I called a friend that lived near me to come over take a knife away that I had in my room. She came with her parents and they took me to the hospital. I overdosed on pills a few times. I would lay in bed and come up with ways to kill myself and think about which one my parents would take the easiest. Fuck.

Growing up was weird for me because I felt like I wasn't like the other kids. I felt like I was monster from Frankenstein, the doctors put me together. When I was nineteen I got diagnosed with severe depression and panic attacks. My best friend got diagnosed almost at the same time as me with exactly the same thing. Together we were the fucked up twins. A few years ago he hung himself from a tree in his front yard, I took it hard but I also gained motivation to keep fighting. Back in 2013 I didn't leave my house for five months other than getting beer and shitty food. I would sit on my couch and stare at the walls. When I would go out to get the beer I would put on a hoodie and put my head down and not look at anyone but the sidewalk or floor.

I have totally cleaned my life up in recent years and it's really cleared my head. I used to have such bad anxiety in social situations that I would freeze in public. I have put down the food I wanted to buy on the floor and ran out of grocery stores. I was always afraid that I'd have someone try to talk to me so I would just stay inside all day. I would always think the worst before anything would ever happen. Now I look at the anxiety I get as a "dare" of sorts. If I feel it at any point I take it as my body daring me to do what is scaring me. It's like a little mental game I play that I always win. The best part of going through all that I have is that now that I've reached the point of genuinely feeling happy nothing can break me. I've seen the worst I can be and I've conquered it. I didn't really live for the first 34 years of my life, now I'm taking advantage of every moment I can.

Disciplined Galt @Galt I hope you feel better, I am here to talk to if you ever need to. I'm not smart by any means but I've been through a lot. If anyone on here reading this wants to talk I am here. If you don't have an account and you want to talk then make one and I'll talk to you as well.

can relate this on a much lesser scale (I've never really considered suicide) and it's brave of you to share. KUDOS
