Anyone suffer from that here? It's been back and forth for me, and I think cognitive help is a lot better in the long run than medicine (although it's different for everyone, depending on the length of episodes and the intensity.)
When it does occur, your brain seems to assume you're in the only person in the world going through it.

It has to do with chemical imbalance. The brain 'drugs' the body incorrectly, resulting in very high "highs" and very low "lows", making the person very unstable. Sometimes resulting in psychosis.
It's a terrible, terrible thing. I don't know if I have this or not but I think at times my brain does not handle sertonin levels properly.

For me, hitting myself on the head with blunt objects has proven most effective.
I have renounced people including myself.

how hard are these blunt objects, on a scale from sausage to diamond?

Yes, it is chemical imbalance. During a depressive episide, no matter what is going on, you feel it's all shit. You want to end it all, no matter how good the actually "circumstances" surrounding you are. That's why it can be as bad for someone in a very good predicament financially/socially/ or whatever as someone who lacks in all these areas-your brain doesn't want to see the good in life and refuses to see the situation in the accurate way.
Actually, I think I got it wrong, because I've never experienced the opposite extreme (of ridiculous highs) where people go on crazy shopping sprees and buy the shop or whatnot. More panic attacks where afterwards, for an hour or so, you have a high then return to normal.

One time in south park, officer barbrady walked by a crucified cartman saying, and I quote, "noo nee noo nee noo" then he looked at him for awhile then said "T"... "T is for turtle" Then he kept walking and said "noo nee noo nee noo" again. The hardness of these objects are of the exact same hardness as the second noo.

I feel for you. I was lucky, as it didn't occur during classes for some reason (wel, a panic attack or something may have come up once or twice, so I just waited for them to finish.) I guess if your brain is pre-occupied enough, the chances of drowning in depression are less.

i found as long as you constantly keep busy and distract yourself you're ok. back in january i didn't leave my bed for like a week, and couldn't face going into the mundane tedium of my job; being surrounded by inane working practices, getting abuse down the phone (call centre) and being surrounded by people who have no aspirations. i've never had panic attacks or anything like that, but i just get into a feeling of worthlessness, and i stop giving a shit about people, loose my appitite, feel lethargic, irregular sleep patterns, smoke to excess and drink a lot.

definitely quit smoking if you think your brain handles its biological drugs incorrectly. i dont know of any studies of the interaction of nicotine and unstable levels of serotonin but i'm sure it cannot be good.

Can humans be sexually attracted to animals? Or do they just pretend to be for various porn movies?

A human being could convince itself it was sexuall attracted to dinner plates. No boundaries on that. It's all perception..

I don't agree.
You can't make yourself get an errection over, say, a bunch of flowers no matter how hard you tried.
I mean, I tried it once and I got bored within a few hours.

The testicles of a right whale weigh more than a ton and account for 2 percent of its body weight.

Penis size also varies moderately across populations, being largest among African populations, smaller among European populations, and smallest among East Asian populations, but with substantial overlap (Rushton, 1987, 1988b, 1989b)

"Based on this analysis of the adaptive functions of female orgasm, we can start to understand why the female clitoris remained small and relatively hard to stimulate, while the male penis enlarged to unprecedented proportions in our linage. Maintenance of a small, relatively hidden, and relatively hard-to-stimulate clitoris enhanced female discernment and choosiness with respect to assessing sexual stimulation by males. A larger, more protruberant clitoris which could have been effectively stimulated by almost any tactile contact, however inept, would have made its female bearer less able to judge the relative stimulation capabilities of different males. She might have mated with less sexually competent males and produced less sexually competent sons." (Miller, Geoffrey F. (1994)

We averaged the ethnographic data on erect penis and found the means to approximate: Orientals, 4 to 5.5 in. in length and 1.25 in. in diameter; Caucasions, 5.5 to 6 in. in length and 1.5 in. in diameter; blacks, 6.25 to 8 in. in length and 2 in. in diameter. Women were proportionate to men, with Orientals having smaller vaginas and blacks larger ones, relative to Caucasians.
