Oh, my God.  I think I just spent an hour catching up on posts from this thread from around March-April.  Don't get me wrong.  It was very entertaining and infuriating.  That's the problem, though.  There were so many things I felt very strongly I needed to reply to, but then I remembered that they were several months old, and it would be rather stupid to do so.

EDIT:  Also, it was nice to see Bingowings mention me a few times, even if it was to worry about where I was.  Good to know I wasn't forgotten in my absence.  But I should clarify I didn't disappear because of any perceived criticism about my clothing choices or gender identity, so fear not.  :-)

 I think I sent you a pm to try and get you back, but don't mention it.

I didn't say it was recent. :p

I accidentally ripped the cord of my headphones right out of the jack, rendering them -- for all intents and purposes -- broken.

Suffice it to say, I'm pissed.

14 Razors. 

14 consecutive times, I've shaved in the shower then arced the used razor over the shower door, off the wall, and into the little trashcan. 

Today the Streak ended.

 I noticed, but the last time a pretty girl vanished on me and I kept trying to find her or contact her, I got a restraining order.

You only use a razor once? You must be rich! Or have a beard made of steel wool...

How do people use these ear plug style headphones? The sound quality is better than my ear buds, but every tiny movement I make is amplified through the cord like a freaking stethoscope. Speaking of which, I can also hear my heartbeat. Great for listening at high volume while remaining perfectly still :P

 They put them in their ears I believe.

 I buy REALLY cheap razors. If I'm lucky I get two shaves. 

You can more than two shaves out of razors, even if they are cheap razors.  I am able to use a cheap razor for over a week's worth of shaves.   

But do you shave more than once or twice a week?

I shave about 6 times a week(sometimes only 4 or 5 times a week).  

I couldn't possibly regularly shave with my skin.

I trim my beard twice a month and shave my neck once a week and that is hellish.

I don't think I could ever shave with my skin. What do you do, peel and rub it really hard on your neck? How much skin does it usually take?

I rinse my face in warm water, apply shaving cream, shave with the grain, rince face in warm water again, reapply shaving cream, shave across the grain, rince face in warm water again, reapply shaving cream, shave against the grain,  finally rince in cold water, dry face, apply aftershave.  

I do not rub or press hard with the blade, that is how you get cut and get razor burn.  I try to glide the blade over the skin using as little pressure as possible and let the blade do the work.  If you try shaving against the grain, do so very carefully, that is where you stand the best chance of getting cut.

I just use an electric shaver. :P

electric shavers never gave me a close enough shave.

 LOL, It took me a while to figure out why Warbler made this post. I forgot that he was "ignoring" Bingowings, and didn't see the post I was replying to.

I shave almost everyday in the shower against the grain with no shaving cream and a cheap razor. I have yet to meet anyone who does the same.

Wait, am I supposed to be bitching about something? 

Um, razors, bitch, um, yeah.

There are too many Anglophones at my school. And all of the ones I've come across so far are morons (or at the least, very annoying). There are a lot who speak English as a second language (and French as a third) in my françisation ("Frenchification") class, which occupies most of my school time this semester, so I hope I'll be able to make some friends who don't speak English. Otherwise I won't learn enough French to make me happy. :(

Just over a week ago I got out of a stay from a mental hospital for a suicide attempt that was brought on by depression because I can't function in the real world or hold down a job without meds.  The doctor's there and my own shrink proscribed some meds that really helped and for the first time in a long time I had some hope in my life.  Well now that has been yanked away.

Medicaid rejected all of my prescriptions for my problems including depression and they will not even let the pharmacy fill them,and my family can't afford them any other way. 

So i am back sitting at home,unable to keep a single thought straight,a 29 year old burden to my family,and without any hope.  Just getting more and more dapressed as I am able to do less and less with my life because I was born with a stupid brain that doesn't work right.  Half the time when I try to read I can't tell what the words are saying and it takes forever to type anything out and I keep flipping out on people when I don't want to.  I am really afraid that I am going to end up on the street or in a metal hospital for the rest of my life because my dad only keeps me around because of my mom,he really thinks I should just pull things together and I keep trying but it's not working and I am costing my family money that they don't have.

I really wish I had been aborted,everyone would be much better off if I had never been born.

I just can't take being useless lump any more.

 you need to stop thinking that it would be better if you were never born, that is simply not true.  

Contact medicaid and find out why your prescriptions were rejected.   Contact your doctor's office and tell them that medicaid rejected your prescriptions.   Perhaps your doctor can prescribe other medications that would help you and that medicaid would approve.   Perhaps have your doctor talk to medicaid.  Several weeks ago, I was prescribed an echocardiogram, due to being diagnosed with high blood pressure.  My insurance initially turned it down.  But my doctor talked with my insurance and then they approved it. 

As for the other problems you mention above.  Please, please, please, contact your doctor and your shrink and tell them what you are thinking and feelings,  they can help.  Talk to your family about them.  Talk to someone.   If you believe in God, pray.  Please remember that suicide is no answer to your problems.   Think about how your family would feel if you did that.   I understand what it is to be depressed.   But suicide is not the answer. 

I will be praying for you.  

I don't want to go back to the hospital so I don't want to try suicide again.  I talked to my doctor and he talked to medicaid but they will not budge.  he was already prescribing the generic cheap brands of the meds so all that is left for me to try are herds and diet but those don't work too well for people who are as messed up as I am.

Thanks for your prayers,I will keep pressing on but right now it feels pretty bad.
