The video you made is great. You have got a talent there. What a beautiful city. I love the history of Europe which was what I studied in College so videos like this always fascinate me. Thanks for sharing with us.
 
Thank you for you comment, did you manage to see the second vid by Terry?
 
Thanks! :rulez:
 
Opps...sorry forgot to metnion that I watched the one from Terry as well. Wow! It was incredible....like a review of my European History course from college...
 
So that's the holy city of София, is it? So ancient, so beautiful... And me, in my ignorance, I thought it might just be another sprawling dump like Belgrade! (I don't mean you any personal disrespect at all by saying this - just being truthful.) In Britain we simply don't know anything about south-eastern Europe - except for Greece - and as a result you probably think we're really stupid. But I've learned a lot this afternoon. (Just one point: even the lousy Turks seem to have fallen under the spell of your city, because it looks like they built their 'Black Mosque' in the Bulgarian/Byzantine style.) Thanks for sharing your mysterious, atmospheric video, and Terry's very informative one.
 
Thanks for you reply Micky. Sofia is beautiful especially when you have a fit handsome hairy boyfriend and fuck him hard and go clubbing together....:beg:

Doesn't really matter whether you live in London or Sofia, you can be equally happy and miserable in both places.

I consider myself lucky for the kind of life I had when I was your age. :drunk friend:

I see lots of young guys wasting away their best years, sufferring from depression, no money, they don't want to study and don't have dreams because the future is uncertain.

The whole world changed in a just few years.

That guy that I spent New Years with and even posted a thread about him..... I thought he was great...or so it's seem until I found out he was battling with depression too and doesn't want to go out.

He spends all his days chatting on facebook, what kind of life is that for a 19 you hot dude?

:noidea:
 
No life at all, Meatpie. What a shame and a waste...

Why can't he look in the mirror and tell himself "I'm young, I'm hot, there's at least one guy in the world who enjoys screwing me..."? I don't understand, because I don't know him, but like you say, there are thousands like him. The suicide rate among young males in the UK is just plain terrible. You pass a guy in the street, and for all you know he's lost in his world of private pain, and he's totally blind to all the beauty and joy and fun that life could offer him, and he ends up like young Marcus...

It doesn't bear thinking about. There must be something badly wrong with a world that leaves so many young people feeling lost and alone. I've met a few myself. And I agree, it doesn't make a bit of difference whether you're in a beautiful city or a god-awful one, because if you've lost hope, the place you're really living in is hell.

I wanted to help, at try and talk with him, cheer him up but he said, "I am fine, I am OK"

He is very fuckabale, strong and tall, nice ass. I want him, we went out a few times and it was great fun, we went to a restaurant together in a mountain resort.
 
I wonder if there are any pills he could take that would help? probably not...

They can seriously mess up your head, can antidepressants and shit like that. And your body too! I haven't had any first-hand experience of them, thank fuck, but last year I was talking to a guy in a bar - he was about 45 years old but his boyfriend wasn't much older than me - and he said his boyfriend had been put on major tranquilizers, and in the space of just six months he hardly knew him any longer. He drifted round like he was sleepwalking, and he'd put on over 20 pounds! Me, I'd rather be skinny and tormented than a drugged, overweight zombie...

Nice picture you create of you and your boyfriend in the mountains together. Having fun with your special buddy must be the finest thing in the whole world. I'm real sorry things don't seem to be working out...

Me, I'm sitting alone in my flat. Tesco run a shift system and this is one of my weekends off. I should be out right now in the village in Manchester having fun, but I don't have a boyfriend to have fun with, just ordinary mates... So I'm feeling kinda lonely at the moment, but I'm not depressed!!!
 
With no offense meant to your friend, his doctor is doing him a disservice. Unless he has major psychosis and needs like thorazin he shouldn't be a zombie. As a counselor, I know some doctors just dispense pills like water and don't bother to find out how it is affecting their patient's lives. Most antidepressants let people lead normal lives and you would harldy ever know they are taking them unless they tell you. And yes there is a big difference from ocassional down days and clinical depression. Sorry, I will put away my office couch now and go back to being a normal person :)
 
Hey don't be sorry, because I'm very grateful you've pointed out that some of the things I was saying to MeatPie were wrong. Like I told him, I don't have any first-hand experience of medication, I'm just going off what a guy in a bar told me. Wish I could remember the name of the stuff the guy said his boyfriend was on. Kloza... ?? No, I can't remember.

If I ever felt my own down days were getting worse (and sometimes they make me feel sort of lost, and it's dark and scary down there) would it be OK if I asked you what you thought? Winston Churchill called depression 'the black dog'. At the moment I'm fine, I fly into a rage and shoo the dog away, but with so many young guys losing hope these days, and my life being really difficult recently, I wouldn't like to think I was starting to be ILL.
 
I would note that I wasn't pointing out you said something wrong but that the doctor in that one case you cited was overmedicating his patient because there should be at least some level of normal function even with certain mental conditions but if your friend has got heavy duty stuff going on like schizophrenia then he may need more. I think the name you were looking for is clonzepam. Quite a heavy nerve medicine.
 
I liked your video very much, the photography and music were great.
 
Schizophrenia? Man, that's a terrible illness - nothing to do with derpression at all, I believe - and if that's what the poor guy's got, then maybe that explains why he has to be drugged up all the time. My sister's boyfriend's uncle suffered from schizophrenia, and one night he drank a bottle of whisky and threw himself into the Manchester Ship Canal.
:very very sad:
 
What a shame but yes schizophrenia is one of the hardest mental illnesses to treat because all you can usually do is keep them semi lucid which isn't much of a life and sadly many wind up taking their life because of the voices that don't seem to go away. I don't actually deal with schizophrenics because it is too hard.
 
Schizophrenia is devastating, we don't have anyone in the family but I know a girl who was diagnosed with Schizo and she was like from another world.

The saddest part of dealing with mental illness is that the family of the person affected can suffer greatly to the point they develop depression.

I went to a psychiatrist in 2009 out of curiosity mainly, it turned out to be great fun as the doctor was more fucked up that most of her patients.

I agree with everything Camo said - most shrinks will just give you pills, even for mild depression instead of having regular conversations with their patients and trying cognitive therapy.

I feel sorry for that young frined I told you about, he is not my boyfriend but he definately likes me, we hugged several times even like "good friends" but I know very well that straight guys rarely hug each other.

So just by having a ten minute conversation with a dude I can tell whether he is gay and not.

It's the so-called gay radar homosexual men develop over time to recognize if other dudes are gay or not.

I hope we can go out again once the weather improves and will tell you more.
 
Sorry MeatPie, I misunderstood, I thought he WAS your boyfriend. Good to know you haven't given up on him if you don't mind me saying so. I'd really like to hear more.

I could do with some of that radar you talk about myself, then I don't make any more horrible mistakes like telling that bloke I had the hots for that I was turned on by dead guys, and he nearly pissed himself with fright!

So there's 'gay radar', and the straights here tell a lot of jokes about the 'gay mafia' too. Most of those jokes are full of hate, but there's one I really like. "If you don't watch your mouth, the gay mafia will be round to criticize your curtains." I know it's not fair, cos we're not all limp-wristed fags who do interior design and hair-styling and stuff, but I still think it's dead funny.

On a serious note: "cognitive therapy"? Isn't that where the shrink talks to the patient and tries to get him to recognize his illness, understand it, and learn how deal with it? Cos that sounds a lot better than just throwing pills at it...
