I too was like WTF with this one. Is it weird to say I think this is the best episode of WMN yet?
Also, anyone else think they could probably use that laugh at 47:55 area for some upcoming horror/'run of the crazies' movie? Keep up the great show Chemda.

i liked lucas a lot already and this show made me like him even more.

perfect as per usual. Chemda does better therapy than therapists.

QUOTE: "i used my metal gear solid skills". man, i think that too!

Junkenstein · 10-12-2011, 04:58 PM

seriously. this episode is hitting me and so many ways. i have the same issues lucas has , most of the times: the problems with groups of people, th breakdowns, the need for the center, the rat clawing back in my head.... and i wouldve needed so much to get a talk from a person as sensitive, open and able to read the mind and heart of a person like chemda.

i hope she reads this, it really really touched me deeply and i thank her and lucas for it.

I mentioned this in the Dr. Sleep thread, but it's more relevant here:

I am getting into therapy and I'm open to getting on psych meds. This episode was recorded not long before I went from bad to worse, and I realized that I have to get help or I'm not going to survive more than a couple more months. Just waiting on my insurance card to arrive (should be today or tomorrow) and then I can get started.

It's not coming from a good place, it's more like I'm giving up. That doesn't mean nothing good will come of it, but I don't feel like I'm making a positive change, I just feel defeated. Maybe that's what I needed, to hit rock bottom like everybody always talks about. We'll see what happens next.

Junkenstein · 10-13-2011, 04:03 AM

meds have a lot of negative sides but if you find the right doctor, they can help. just keep an eye open for the unnecessary prescriptions and dont add an addiction to the list, cause that is basically what i did.

Still, it might help, so best vibes to you.

Still listening to the show right now

For the hoarder episode I think I said Chemda is one of the best interviewers

after this she is The Best interviewer knowing exactly the right questions to ask

I feel for Lucas and I think I relate to him a lot. I have a lot of crazy mood swings lately, same days I could just die, I can't take groups with too many elements, and certain things trigger me.

Everyone I try and come out to about this tells me to go to thearpy, what they don't realize is that thearpy costs money and if my mom helped me out I'd feel like such a burden and knowing how much those pills cost it would just make me feel worse about it.

Maybe I should go kill a lion or something, I mean were people depressed like this in the olden days when we didn't have all this medicine?

I've met Lucas a few times now. And it's obvious you're a little fucked up, Lucas. But I like you. You're a nice person. Nice people deserve to be around.

When your head clears, you will see that. I hope you follow through with a doctor.

Props to Junkenstein who cautions against meds but I have to say that, if there was ever a case for somebody to at least try a course of Lexapro (10mg) once a day then Lucas would be that case.

Such a dose is quite low and would be enough to balance out the swings that Lucas has been experiencing. As for therapy, well - it doesn't work for everybody but the conversation with Chemda shows to me that she has an impeccable sense of person.

At least consider talking to somebody Lucas.
