Is hysterical laughter at everything a normal part of emotional recovery?

[ZombieNixon]

Because that's where I am. I'm really glad no one else is in the room right now. :rofl:

[Neoma]

1. That's just weird.

What's making you laugh exactly?

[ZombieNixon]

4. Everything.

I'm reading random shit here in the Lounge and cracking up. :shrug:

[miss_american_pie]

2. Did you sleep poorly?

It's a sign of sleep deprivation.

[ZombieNixon]

5. I think last night I slept decently.

At least I didn't dream about my ex again. :)

[miss_american_pie]

6. Well there's that

It could just be stress.

[tjwmason]

3. Can be.

Everybody's path is different. But I have certainly come across it.

[ZombieNixon]

7. Hmm...could just be built up tension, I suppose.

My "persona" in my paper is becoming a real sarcastic asshole. I like him! :D

[tjwmason]

8. That sounds very likely.

You're bound to have a lot of tension at the moment.

Sounds like ZombieNixonomes (which sound half plausable as a name - or at least Nixonomes does) is kicking arse. :yourock:

[KitchenWitch]

9. It is a coping mechanism

Can be very healthy IMHO.

[JohnKleeb]

12. I've heard that laughter itself is quite healthy

I guess this explains why most of my DVDs are comedies. Importance of a sense of humor yep thats been the theme in my writing lately and why I am a horse's ass.

[ZombieNixon]

15. The theme in my writing today has been

"Societal constructs are bullshit. Destroy them." ;)

[JohnKleeb]

21. Hah

Hope things work out for you. Hopefully once some people return from college I just may get myself a date, please god, buddha, allah, superman, and the guy on the quaker oats carton.

[ZombieNixon]

26. Yeah, I'm just going to focus on getting through the rest of the year

at this point. I doubt I'm going to think about dating until the fall. I'll probably spend most of summer break avoiding my ex.

Good luck! :thumbsup:

[JohnKleeb]

30. I am going to need it

I am sick of every day being the same old crap. Well it shouldn't be that hard to avoid her honestly, since you live in a big ass city now if you lived in my relatively tiny ass town it would be harder but perhaps not impossible.

[ZombieNixon]

33. Well, no the thing is we went to school together in NM.

We live in a tiny-ass town of 40,000 people and have a lot of mututal friends. She goes back a month before I do, so has a month to bring people to her side, which is gonna suck. x(

[JohnKleeb]

35. Ah thats gonna be ugly

It's shit like this that makes me actually happy I am single then I wake up with looking like a terrorist in my dad's words then I am like no it's not worth it. Hopefully things work out. Maybe she'll come to her senses and just let it go like a mature person would.

[ZombieNixon]

36. Yeah, I hope so.

I also hope people don't blunder in ignorantly and ask what's going on between us.

[ZombieNixon]

13. Well, it's a change from crying and having to run to bathroom to blow my

nose every five minutes. :D

[Sugar Smack]

10. At least you aren't posting Eagles lyrics.

Thank God for that.:D ;-)

[ZombieNixon]

11. Naw, I only posted one song lyric thread.

And it wasn't Eagles, God forbid. :scared:

[Sugar Smack]

18. See there? It could be far worse.

You're not staring into the abyss just yet. :bounce: :toast:

[ZombieNixon]

22. Yeah, the moment I start posting anything remotely Eagles-esque...

shoot me. :scared:

[Sugar Smack]

27. I will. Fear not, Old Yeller!

That's when we're sending you to the glue factory. Until then, I believe you're safe.

[ZombieNixon]

29. Well, good.

Because, as far as I know, I've never listened to a complete Eagles' song in my life. :D

[Mutley]

14. Probably. Sounds good to me.

:rofl: :rofl:

Yeah, that felt good.

[ZombieNixon]

17. I'll go kill a pot plant and see what happens.

:D

[Mutley]

20. Oo! Make sure you let me know

if that helps the emotional recovery as well.

:rofl:

There it is again.

[ZombieNixon]

24. Well, I drank a lot on Saturday night.

It felt good but it was a temporary fix. That was really one of my worst nights ever, but at least for the time I was drunk things didn't seem quite so shitty. :D

[Mutley]

25. I don't drink much anymore, either. Damn, I'm boring!

You were at least amusing when you were posting drunk the other day.

[ZombieNixon]

28. Yeah, I hadn't eaten anything either, so after a good bit of vodka and

five beers, I was bit :+:+:+:+:+. :D

[Mutley]

34. Better that than sitting around being upset.

:hug:

[Left Is Write]

16. Put it this way...

I don't think it's ABNORMAL.

It's not universal, certainly, but for many people, laughter is part of recovery from grief of any kind.

[ZombieNixon]

19. OK, just as long as I'm not going insane.

:D

[ThomCat]

Sounds normal.

I've known people who go though that stage. Things seem absurd, so they stop being so terribly important. You'll reach equilibrium soon enough.

:hug:

[ZombieNixon]

32. As long as I can get this paper done,

send her her purse back and get through the end of the week without incident, I think I should be all right. :shrug:

[ThomCat]

37. You're already "all right."

At least as far as I'm concerned. :)

I hope you can concentrate on your paper.

[skygazer]

23. It is for me

As is hysterical weeping and hysterical anger, neither of which is nearly as much fun. Enjoy it while it lasts, that would be my advice.

[ZombieNixon]

31. I think I did both of those.

I had to try very hard to restrain the hysterical anger from causing property damage. x(

[MsKandice01]

38. Yep, it is for me..

[u4ic]

39. I did that once when I was in shock

are you a bit slow on the uptake? :rofl:

Let the healing begin! :bounce:

[ZombieNixon]

44. I don't know what the deal was...

but this afternoon I was just laughing at everything. :shrug:

[deadparrot]

40. Hey...when a classmate of mine died,

the shrinks told us that whatever we were feeling was normal. I'm thinking this is the same kind of thing...if it gets you through the day, by all means, do it. :)

[ZombieNixon]

42. I did that this afternoon.

Now I'm back to feeling very little emotion whatsoever. :shrug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

41. What? I am hysterically funny goddammit!!

:P

[ZombieNixon]

43. Hoo boy, if you'd been here this afternoon, I don't what would've happened

;)

[RevolutionaryActs]

45. We would have herked the afternoon away?

:shrug:

[ZombieNixon]

46. Perhaps...

:)

[RevolutionaryActs]

47. I just accidentally put you on ignore.

:blush:

[ZombieNixon]

48. What did you really mean to do?

:shrug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

49. Nothing.

I have one of those scrolly wheel mouses, I was scrolling, then I saw the ignore page. :shrug:

[ZombieNixon]

50. My scrolly wheel mouse broked.

:(

Now I have to wear out the trackpad. x(

[RevolutionaryActs]

51. Awwww.

I crunched my headphones last week. I getting ready for work, and I was late, and I ran into my room, and crunch. :(

[ZombieNixon]

53. Haha...ironic...I cut the wire on mine today by accident.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5103539

[RevolutionaryActs]

55. Ironic.

Like rain on your wedding day. :P

[ZombieNixon]

56. Like a swarm of wasps at your bar mitzvah.

If you're Jewish. And male. :silly:

[RevolutionaryActs]

59. It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need

is a blowtorch.

[ZombieNixon]

60. Or like 18,000 penguins subjugating a far distant world in the name of

Emperor Bob the Moderately Sane! Oh, wait, no, that was a movie I made in high school. :think: :yoiks:

[RevolutionaryActs]

61. Good ol' Bob.

:loveya:

[ZombieNixon]

62. Bob, we shall never forget ye...

:loveya:

[RevolutionaryActs]

63. I did like his sister better though..

Bobette(sad their parents really were horrible with names) the not-quite-but-almost-totally-completely-insane.

[ZombieNixon]

64. OMHG!

I have to use that somewhere now. :spray:

[RevolutionaryActs]

65. Thank you, thank you.

:silly:

[In_The_Wind]

52. Sometimes it can be.

It sure beats the hell out or getting mad.

[ZombieNixon]

54. Did the mad thing already.

Did some things I kind of regret. We'll see what happens. :shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

57. You've got all summer to blow it off.

BTW ~ If you didn't kill any body or break any bones you probably don't have anything much to worry about.

[ZombieNixon]

58. Nah...I just cut off all contact with her suddenly.

Don't know if I should have done...she was a great friend...before all this happened.

I just hope I don't run into her over summer break...we live in the same hometown.

[Lilith Velkor]

66. That, or your mom put acid in the orange juice again.

:shrug:

[ZombieNixon]

67. That'd be quite a trick as my mom's in a different state.

;)

[RevolutionaryActs]

68. You *can* have flash backs you know...

:P

[ZombieNixon]

69. What are you saying?

It's really the year 2036 and we're under the control of sentient machines who feed us a reality of their choosing? None of you are real? OMHG! No! :cry:

Oh, well, at least the last five days weren't real. :crazy:

[RevolutionaryActs]

70. Yes, Neo...

Now tell me, would you like the red or blue pill?

[ZombieNixon]

71. Doesn't one of them make funny things happen...umm...down there?

I'll take the other one.

:hide:

[RevolutionaryActs]

72. Um, honey?

Funny things are going to happen down there anyway. :P









And sweet HERKING spaghetti monster, that sounded really dirty and I didn't even mean it to! :o

[ZombieNixon]

73. Yeah, I was about to herkxile my roommate...

:o

[RevolutionaryActs]

74. This is bad.

I'm getting so good at being perverted, that it just slips out now. :cry:

[ZombieNixon]

75. Just let it out.

Better than keeping it pent up...as it is with most things. :)


(Yeah, that sounded dirty, too...ah, well...guess it means I'm getting better. :))

[RevolutionaryActs]

76. Let it out... take it off.

Same thing right?



Wait.. what?

[ZombieNixon]

Ahh, I think I'll be keeping my clothes on for a while.

Except to shower, o' course. ;)

[RevolutionaryActs]

78. Who said anything about your clothes?

:shrug:

[ZombieNixon]

80. Well, what else am I supposed to take off?

Not all of us have detachable head, ya know. :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

82. What?

Are you series? THIS IS HUGH!1!!1!1122!!!!!!!!2@!!!!

[ZombieNixon]

83. ACK! TWOS!!! AND AT SIGNS!!!

This is indeed hugh!11!1!2#43OMGZOMGZOMG!!!1234!!!1337suxx0rz!!1!!

:crazy:

[RevolutionaryActs]

85. OMG x 2!!

Zog? Really, are you sure?

[ZombieNixon]

87. I dunno. It came to me in a dream.

And I forgot it in another dream. :shrug:

[MiniMandaRuth]

77. Eh. Who cares? At least your laughing.

It's the right sound/emotion for you.

[ZombieNixon]

79. Emotion, perhaps.

But the sound...well...you ever seen a baboon being eaten alive by a laughing hyena? Well, me neither, but I figure it would sound like that. :scared:

[MiniMandaRuth]

81. Yeah. Sounding like that... not cool.

:hug:

[TimeChaser]

84. That's what's been happening to me lately

Could be emotional response, or just mental exhaustion at the end of the year (as it is in my case). Or a combination of the two.

[ZombieNixon]

86. My year's not over yet.

Because of our quarter system and überlong Thanksgiving and Christmas break, we still have another month, so I'm really only halfway through these classes right now. At this point, I just want it to be September so I can start over. I'd rather skip summer break...Freeperville...ex will be around...bummer. :(
