No body who is a "raging Alchololic," has "demons" etc is a "really nice guy." People that are Alkies usually have enablers who continue to let them get away with their crap.

One always hears about the "really nice guy" who goes into McDoanlds and blows everybody away.

So let us cut the crap. The guy probably was a decent guy who had major problems that he basically never came to terms with. The people around him are ultimately the ones who are going to suffer.

From listening to you BOyz my not so humble opinion is that most of you don't know squat about depression, rage, anxiety etc. Most of you seem to think it just happens out of the blue. None of you have ever sat down and consciencily thought about it and put the pieces together (Exception Nostatus). You would rather remain ignorant gits with your heads in the sand. When something like this happens your reacation is, "He seemed so happy, he was really a nice guy."

Everybody has some self awareness to a varying degree. It just depends on what your family taught you and how self aware they are. The more self aware you are the better able to dodge and cope with the bullets of life. Nobdody gets outa life without a few dustups.


Now Super, unless ya have been in Thearpy to learn about why you have depression and how to cope with depression ya don't know much. Medicine taking ALONE leaves ya as ignorant as before, which means the underlieing problem remains. That is basically why, when ya come off meds ya sink back into depression. Plus the fact that your brain chemistry will change to adapt to those meds, that is another complex issue.

Ya see science has just realized that experience (thearpy for instance) actually changes brain chemistry because the configuration of the brain changes ever so slightly. DUH they just figured that out!!
