>Aiming for hypomania isn't really a good thing. Oh sure, some of us think we can trick the brain...
>There just seems to be this hidden conscencious that taking an MAOI will give keep you in some permanant euphoric state, but its not true, and I don't think that promoting it is a safe measure
Hi linkadge. I appreciate many of your posts. This one did seem to implicate people on this board, as well as people taking MAOIs, as having a "hidden conscencious" to become euphoric. I think that's just because it's in the passive voice.
Thanks for clearing up the statement later on.
Re: hypomania, I have no doubt that there is a strong human tendency to want to feel good. (I know that's kind of a "no-duh" statement.) I think wanting to feel good is a healthy thing in most people. That's why we do things like get massages or have sex or watch good movies.
>I think if you aim to feel normal that you people might have a better chance at achieving long term mental health.
What is normal?
