The average person will me misdiagnosed a few times before they find out what's really wrong. Schitzophrenia is usually genetic. However, if somebody has a tendency to develop certain problems (schitzophrenia included) drugs like acid or constant use of weed can trigger it, or make it worse - it seems.

it's not like doctors even agree on those things, that's how behind we are in studying 'mental illness'.

Yeah the guy I know with schizophrenia used to be hardcore into all drugs. I really think it made him worse. He quit that shit for the most part and is doing much better these days. I agree that we are way behind in the treatment of the mentally ill. It seems to be very prevalent or it could just be the people I choose to hang out with

i normally like to reward myself with small things for myself when i can. i like to go for drinks or dinner but if i have the money i go for something bigger. i have my eye on several bits of equipment (although that can always be said) and i am getting a white noise generator this week. also going to an island for the weekend.

I'm thinking I'll get a 4 track. Seems like a strange thing to do.
I'm struggling to find tapes as well.

I'm surprised cassettes r still around. I just found an old box full of mine and ryans cassettes from highschool. I think they have been damaged though.

He came out a bit later w/ the Australian bassist (Guy???), talked to both of em a few more minutes before they went back inside. At this point, I'm missing two sigs...Dan Peter's + Mark Arms. It's raining but I don't care. Roadie loads up more shit, and asks us what we're doing. "I wanna meet the rest of Mudhoney"...he responds, word-for-word (I'll never forget), "Oh, cool...go inside, first door to the left, grab a beer". So yeah, I hung out backstage w/ Mudhoney for a bit. Dan was looking awful tired, sitting on a couch. Mark was talking to some girl and seemed very happy in doing so. Naturally, I approach Dan first. Shake hands, he signs my album (and yeah, being the weirdo I am I think "this dude drummed w. Nirvana for a brief stint" as we shake hands. I didn't wanna wear out my welcome so I didn't stay long. Dan, oddly, seemed to be the only one a bit bummed about me and my friends (peeking in from the doorway) leaving. But ya know, I looked at Mark and realized it was a once in a lifetime shot, so I, like an asshole, interupt this convo he's having w/ the girl and say "Hey, Mark, can ya sign this"...+ he does, circling the "A" in "Arm" into a little anarchy sign...and I went on my way.

I'll always remember it.

edit: it wasn't the earl. I saw All the Saints a the Earl...can't remember the name of this venue but it was a tiny place.

There's no way i wouldve been able to do that. i would have been too nervous to say even one word to them, haha. guess i can be a weirdo too. anyways, thats really cool. i doubt i'll ever see them here in florida..

and @Sonic Gail, There's a lot more to it. i think im bipolar for other reasons.. like nervous breakdowns at random times.. but i guess the sleeping thing is pretty normal, i just thought it couldve been part of the bipolar issue. either way, i cant tell whether its depression i have or bipolar disorder.. so i went to a psycologist (multiple ones actually) because my mom kept making me, and the medication i took made me worse believe it or not so i just stopped going.. theres more to it.. but i feel uncomfortable sharing it on here.
