but i am fine currently thanks 4 ur concern rikd but im good lol

To be honest your not fine but I will let it be. You know my PMs are open if you ever have any questions about mental health. Just don't flood them with Bible quotes or YouTube videos.

thats ur opinion n i respect that but i know myself best thanks though

Lol well yea obv u r not fine but the first step to getting better isn't to listen to the dumb loco or rikd lol...that is the recipe to fuck ur life up even worse.

U need to stop lying to yourself about this Buddha peace is the way bs.

Thats not who u are. There's nothing wrong with that. Accept urself for who u are.

Ball im not a shit - poster

i am not 100% peaceful but i am peaceful

john like i said in a thread before.

there are 2 types of people in poker.

1. those that lose their bankroll and cant get back up

2. those that can

up 2 u which u want to be.

dont listen 2 these idiots that r saying u r bipolar or take meds. loco wants to drug u up so he can control u like a puppet like he does with rikd. that's the type of stuff that keeps him going in his life.

u dont have those problems.

u basically have this disorder where u r on top in poker and fall down and ur just in pain from that happens to ppl all the time u r a normal person dont listen to these clowns.

but u gotta stop doing dumb shit. i play along with it cause im bored and u r actually a pretty funny guy lol.

yes Loco has ego issues but don't take it from him, I also think you are displaying symptoms of mania, this is very alike to what started happening with Rik and his "stream of consciousness" as he used to describe it, I'm not trying to diss your or anything but seriously consider it dude dont automatically reject it.


Btw Rick how did you realize you were bipolar and were you in denial when ppl started noticing it?

Short answer is I ended up in a psych ward.

I am probably still in denial if I am manic when people start noticing it. It's some parts denial and some parts I enjoy it up to a point. I have gotten better at calling the doctor if things are starting to go awry. Enough people have told me about how it is a degenerative disease and it gets probably geometrically worse in severity and frequency untreated.

There are people out there who are typically older and they basically can't get out of mania / psychotic features or it swings to bad depressions and then swings back to bad psychotic trips. THAT would be hell. If I could stay at slight mania hell yeah I would do it but it's an impossible dream.

Mania is not a desirable thing at all because it involves delusions one way or another. You can't live a good life while being manic, even if it feels good temporarily, it's not just biologically destructive, it's socially destructive, like shooting up drugs. People can feel something is off with you during episodes of mania, and they don't feel safe around you, or enjoy your "specialness". It's distinct from feelings of euphoria, which don't depend on delusions. A guy experiencing a sick rush of endorphins from lifting, doing a 30 minutes cold bath, or a runner's high has what you are looking for without the downsides of manic delusion. There are virtually no good stories coming from people who are significant others of bipolar individuals undergoing mania, intense or mild.

Saying that someone has ego issues because you don't like them for whatever reason is not very intelligent. Ego issues are an objective, measurable thing as they are associated with all sorts of problems in life. They cause destructive behaviors. Social or financial problems, problems with dependency -- substances or behaviors. Just like being a bad driver leads to accidents or losing your license eventually. You don't just say someone is a terrible driver because you don't like them, you look at their driving history and what kind of issues they have had there. I could say that I don't have any of those issues, but that would be entirely meaningless to you. The most important thing is that you guys don't have any clue about them either way, yet you make this claim, which isn't smart. What areas of my life are suffering because of my "ego issues", can you tell me that?

If you want to know, I am among the few men who has had no issue seeking counselling or therapy when I've had difficulties in my life, and I am still undergoing therapy right now, despite often no longer feeling like I have anything especially important to work through with a therapist. I am not in a rush to leave that relationship. People with ego issues don't seek therapy and they sure as hell don't remain there and have great relationships with their therapists long-term, which I have. That's a sign of someone who is comfortable with himself and who has the courage to challenge his ego for his betterment. I also work in a pretty competitive environment and have had 0 issues with people at my work. I trust both of these things and the opinions of people who know what I'm like in real life more than I do you people who spend most of your lives online, most of it dealing with numbers through trading or gambling (which is autistic-like) or numbing your minds with social media, and who have never interacted with me in a normal human way.

It's funny how it works - when people have healthy egos, they have no problem with other people's healthy egos. But when someone has an unhealthy ego, they struggle to tolerate the healthier egos around them. It's a common trope that narcissists love calling other people narcissists. There's nothing people hate more than to be reminded of what they don't have.

The medium is the message.

"I have no ego issues, because i am one of the few men who get counselling, clearly an egomaniac wouldn't go to theraphy, I trust my IRL friends that you autistic social media consumers, you think I'm a narcissit only because I remind you of what you don't have."

Yep, no ego at all ladies and gentleman, nothing to see here, move along.


FYI: I dont dislike you at all on the contrary, at times I've been frustrated but nothing more, and also anybody who has met you online knows that you ooze ego from every pore but its likely that you are very different IRL atleast people tell me I'm also very different IRL, way less abbrassive and chill.

Anybody else finds funny that a game tester throws shade at professional gamblers, investors and traders as autistic?

Bro you lived in your mom's basement for like 25 years and had no friends most of your life but you lift a few kettles and you think you can take some shots lol, you are the autistic king in here, well perhaps Floofy is, so you will have to settle for prince.
