Why are the top comments on this page filled with vulgarities?

[intersanctum]

I removed them, and please people stop arguing, if someone has some advice it is ok and welcome

Ambien, klonopin, concerta.... shit.

Thank god I don't have bi-polar disorder... I have a habit of abusing any pills that have a recreational side...

[FlyingPaperRockets]

I also get weird feelings like, I could write ten research papers in a day, and I can survive, and do anything. It's like the best feeling in the world, that's the only way I can describe it.

[FlyingPaperRockets]

Yes, almost exactly. I wouldn't use the words racing thoughts, but that's exactly what my thought process is like when I'm happy.

Manic Depression is real and scary ... I hope there will be a cure one day !

[Woodsmoke22]

It has nothing more than a placebo effect. Real, practical treatment, be it via medicine, therapy or just good old exercise, are more effective than praying to a silent god. If people DID more, instead of PRAYING more, then the world would get a hell of a lot better!

[ONEOFYESHUA]

Thank you, my friend; and God bless you. Amen.

[ONEOFYESHUA]

Praying is not useless if you believe in God.

When you were happy, did your thoughts race at a 1000 miles per hour and you just could not keep still?
