Yes,but that's the argument that Schizophrenics make,I say that from experience,and I'm almost certain that the voices are just simply NOT THERE!JMO though,I do agree with the basic point.

I had a similar thing,solved by my current girlfriend coming into my life.I'm very happy for you.

I'm back and feeling great. Everything has gotten better,perscription lowered a week ago,I've been told it's going well.Just got internet back,am living in country.A while back a friend saved me from suicide,long,long,story,but I'd always loved this friend,and now we're together. She's unbelievably understanding and caring about my problem,and I love her. Anyway,my modem blew up, (I use a laptop) then the computer charger followed suit,only just got around to fixing that.Hope everyone out there remembers me!

Depression sucks,and I know what you mean about the "it's a weakness" mentallity it's such a stigma,isn't it?my family wouldn't uderstannd,they'd disown me,and there's a little more than paranoia talking,my dad once said "all schizophrenics should be shot because they're a danger to society" i AM considering it though! Thank you all

I am skeptical,but i cannot help but laugh!

yea,it's cool,it sucks feeling alone.

Well,thanks for your concern,i don't think i could though,they're not very open minded,i'll consider it though

They've said they will,It's been about 3 months since I started going to a psychiatrist and i've only been on meds for a month,it's gonna happen soon though,thanks.

They didn't try various ones because they are afraid of what my reaction would be to them,also,crossing schizophrenia medication with anti-depressants could be a bad idea,so they only have me on schizophrenia medication,the dosage got lowered recently They said that in a few more weeks they're considering introducing an anti-depressant.

Hello,i've been away for some time,this is a thread for everyone with a mental illness,I have always been depressed,several times i contemplated suicide and even made one attempt (Saved by a friend) I am now getting professional help,I have been diagnosed with clinical depression and schizophrenia,also apparently i am an ex multiple personality disorder sufferer,which i overcame without medical help which is "A testament to my strength of mind" (Or so my shrink says) and am on the meds,my friends have been supportive,my family doesn't know and i don't plan to tell them because i can function normally anyway,this thread is for people with any mental diseases,or friends/family of anyone with mental illness or learning disability,for support because believe me,i know how tough it is.

Eric Clapton-what a gig!

No,an entire after noon spent here would not be wasted at all.

Pretty nice pics!

The secret to good humour is simple;Nothing is funnier than unnecessary expletives that make everyone in the room feel uncomfortable,except repetitiveness,repetitiveness,repetetiveness... Funny yet?No? Religion: How do you define a saint? Someone who has to live with a martyr. One day,God,Satan and Jimmy Page were getting stoned and jamming together and they all agreed it would be great if they had a guitar battle to decide the ruler of the universe,Satan and God played incredible riffs and solos for days,when it came to Jimmy's turn,God turned and said "Give up now,Jimmy,we have all the ancient licks and solos,if you give up i'll give you enlightenment!"Now Jimmy was a tad stoned so he stepped up,and noticed something on the ground,a violin bow."I wonder what would happen if i fucked around with this thing"...

Thank god for those compliance chips!

Yeah,divorce laws in Ireland were ridiculous,sorry for you,plagiarists suck.

Sounds cool,i'm very sorry for the 'abuse',i was about to post a complete apology until you called me a nazi,i reacted badly to that,my first user name choice was 'Brown Bomber' after LZ II's nickname,but it was taken,then,after much searching for an untaken user name,i came up with this,about as much nazi reference as the band who's forum we're on. And i heard that Phil's first band was "The Black Eagles" in a biography i read,can anyone confirm that?I heard that the band wanted Phil's uncle Peter (Who,according to the biography was only a few years older than Phil) to play and brought Phil in for one gig to entice Peter in,but Phil was so good they kept him instead,can this be confirmed?

Oh,so true,i am NOT a nazi,let me clear that up,'Zeppelins' were intended to be bombers,hence the name. Now,back to Thin Lizzy,if you ever saw them live,even the Sykes thing like i did,what was the highlight?For me,it was Cold Sweat,hands down. So,bury the hatchet lads,no more nasty comments. (Which means me as well)

No,THIS is abuse,let me slowly deconstruct your argument: BLACK ROSE HAS NO CONNECTIONS TO YOU WHATSOEVER!Prove it!Show me exactly where in the lyrics it mentions you,go on,it's about Celtic legends! I jokingly asked if you were his mother,then said "Wait no,she's a cool person",you are not,you want to be NOT ONLY the only fan in the world BUT ALSO the songwriter,you're trying to take credit for Phil's work,he'd at least give you a credit if you wrote it! Show us any interview where Phil speaks of you. I NEVER claimed to know about his personal life,all i know is just what i've read in his biography,I'M ALLOWED TO LISTEN TO WHATEVER MUSIC I PLEASE!!! The so called "plagiarists" and "frauds" have nothing on you,you want credit for Phil's work,if you deserved credit then Phil would give it to you,so show me one place where i can find a SINGLE reference to you,you call Phil's music 'our music' as if you produced the art,Iran Maiden are artists that do songs very differently to Thin Lizzy,the vocal style is different,Phil is deep,Bruce is high,guitar harmonies were invented by Thin Lizzy,but it's just a tool to create art,anyone can use it,Maiden has 3 guitarists,Lizzy only ever had 2,1 of Maiden's will always play in drop D,the others play independent solo's etc... It's counterpointed and takes more from J.S. Bach than Thin Lizzy,Steve Harris plays completely different basslines to Phil,they have NOTHING in common as bassists,Steve was more technically proficient,Phil was a better writer.Maiden did a cover of "Massacre",so what?They just love Thin Lizzy,they don't claim to own Phil's music like you do. I love Thin Lizzy,i don't claim to know anything about them,i just love them. Now i will address the most alarming point of your post,you call me a nazi and tell me to go to hell with Hitler,you're sick,do you know anything about MY life?Why hould i be froced to carry the burden of your life if you won't even understand me?I've actually gotten death threats from the KKK for my anti-racism,nazi's have called me "traitor's of the aryan race",everyday i get abuse from racists,and do you know what i do?I try to talk to them,i talk to them and with time,i save some of them from their racism,i've been attacked,abused,knifed,punched,kicked,etc... for anti-racism,have you ever been threatened with death by the KKK?Racists want me dead,anti-racists actually seek out my help for debates,i have been dubbed "n*gger lover!' by nazi's,i am personally offended. How do you expect me to show respect for someone who abuses me like this?

Pretty please?

Ok,this is weird,i though it was obvious,but rumours such as "Oh you weirdo,you're connecting yourself to Iron Maiden because of Steve Harris aren't you?",then i ask how they came up with it and they say "OMG!Steve Harris calls himself "Bomber" Harris!" and then i'm confused. Some people somehow chose to see it as deciding proof that i'm an asshole who says he knew Phil Lynott,then they tell me that they knew him and i'm not fit to hear his music and it just turns into a fight. So,once and for all,Zeppelin's were big blimps that were in use a lot in WW2,they flew around the place,often crashing and burning,A "Led Zeppelin" would be completely useless and would crash even easier than a regular one. So,Bomber aircraft were also around in WW2,used to bomb things. Zeppelins were meant to be used to bomb things but were no good at it because they are slow. So,i picked the name as a reference to aviation in WW2. And after i explain this i'm told "DID YOU KNOW THERE WAS A REAL WAR VETERAN CALLED BOMBER HARRIS!?!?!?!?I wonder if Steve Harris knows?You are... (Long,boring rant about how i suck and how they personally knew the great veteran and i suck because i somehow cheapen the memory or something like that) So,I JUST PICKED IT BECAUSE ZEPPELINS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BOMBER'S! I do not 1.Think i am an aeroplane 2.Think i'm the bassist from Iron Maiden 3.Think i knew Phil Lynott 4.Think i am a war veteran 5.Think i know OR knew any war veteran(s) 6.Think i can fly Now,stop telling me i suck,its a relatively simple name.

I've stopped caring about you abusing me for nothing,I NEVER said i knew Phil,you do it all the time,look at you fucking screen name!I explained my name in my sig and in a PM to you AND a comment on your page,now if i say "Alright,i'm a shitpile who doesn't deserve an opinion on art and you were Phil's best and only friend ever and no one else deserves the honour of being allowed listen to his sacred music" will you shut up? Oh,one quick guess,are you Phil's mum?If so,your son has fans,and no disrespect,but get over it,i'm allowed like his music. Oh,wait,his mum wouldn't mind the fans as much as you do.

Indeed it is,reminds me of Phil What a song,it was the final encore at the show. Still In Love with you was dedicated to Phil,it was amazing.

All true,its not "jamming",its tightly arranged,upbeat,and usually just a flurry of drunken happiness,lots of fun.

WOW!You saw Lizzy with Phil,i'm impressed,i only saw the Sykes thing,must've been incredible,not their best line-up,but a good 'un none the less. I love TBABIT as well,also WITJ,they were great. I prefer John to Eric by far,but Eric did much more than John in the band,i showed my own picks for the best guitarists and the best just in the band alone,John only wrote one song (Cold Sweat) and did one album (Thunder & Lightning) with them,but he was better overall. True,but being Irish i've heard enough and now i can only associate it with a teacher i used to liken to an Irish nazi,he cracked down on English-speakers for no reason and would only play Irish folk,he turned me almost completely off it,i like the celtic sound,but a little known fact: The irish patterns of unusual hammer-ons and pull offs originated from a simple sound that was just massively fucked up by drunken musicians who would speedily return to the correct note creating a distinctly Irish feeling to it,just my theory,our musicians would bastardize a song but return directly to the messed up note to cover up,now its done intentionally. I love Black Rose and Emerald though,great celtic rock songs. Listen to Dearg Doom (Red Doom) by the Horslips,great celtic rock song.
