Spalla´s turned suicide crazy

Spalla, my love:

You keep using "DSM" to describe crazy people or mental illness in general. DSM stands for "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual." Just thought you should know that.

You´re right, I should add personality disorder after DSM but too long...my dear.

Interesting tidbit for today, the next issue of DSM (v5 I think) due in 2013 has removed 5 conditions, one of which is narcissism. I never know when people are real or joking on SF anymore, which is either a reflection of my naivety or your assholery, but if it's real I wish you only the best.

My understanding (my little brother is a clinical psychologist) is that modern-day psychology and psychiatry regard narcissism more as a trait, and less as a condition or disorder in and of itself. The move away from psychology's Freudian/symbolic framework -- and toward a more scientific framework increasingly informed, if not led, by neuroscience -- has been a lot slower than we might think, which is why relics of classical psychology linger on even to this day. It's not that the field no longer recognizes the existence of what was classically called Narcissistic Personality Disorder; rather, it's that NPD traits are more likely just symptoms shared by any number of disorders on various spectra. In conclusion, I am fully aware of the irony some may perceive in my writing about this subject. Also, to address your concern, the trick is to alternate suddenly and capriciously between joking and not joking, so as to throw people off and generally puzzle them.

You had it and have it.

You just need to stop yourself for a moment and take a good look around you and simply appreciate the present.

We all get caught up too much with the past and future and forget how wonderful the present is.

Sometimes you just gotta 'white knuckle it' when times are bad. I've been doing a lot of it lately. I had submitted to the fact that I was going to do something that I knew would have drastic negative effects on my life and was a mess for a couple weeks because of it (but I had the concept of 'white knuckling it' in application while I delayed). I read Tolstoy-Wise Thoughts for Everyday daily and there was a 'thought' that basically helped turn things around for me, so maybe it will mean something to you:

Nothing better proves that our major purpose in life is constant improvement than the fact that as soon as you fulfill your desire, you have that desire no longer and you have no joy. The true joy is in understanding that you are constantly moving toward improvement. This constant motion toward self-improvement provides not temporary but lasting joy.

i have a totally diferent meaning for the term "white knuckling" but thats another can of worms.
seriously though,the other poster had it right,you have something that is priceless:LIFE,so stop your whining and go live it.

It may sound lame and overused, but if you have health, the rest can be fixed.

I had an accident earlier this year, and I had to sit in a wheelchair for a month and learn how to walk and use my left arm again... a thing like that puts everything into perspective.

I don´t wish you to experience anything like that, but you must try to apreciate what life has to offer.

Easy thing to say, hard thing to do, I know, but the best way to get out of this situation.

You could also move to another country and start a whole new life...
