Nothing better than a good ol dump. I like to say chocolate milk makes everything better.

I'd say it depends on what chocolate milk you're drinking.

Consider yourself lucky, James - some depressed folk spend a fortune on shrinks and pills, all you have to is dump a load and your worries are all flushed away.

Couldn't help but imagine how your old girlfriends would feel if they knew that the only reason they are not hearing from you is that you are having satisfying dumps.

A good dump always perks me up, unfortunately those who use the pot right after me usually show signs of distress.

Eat chilies and feel the burn!!

No, its not that, but rather I felt so down and weak that I would actually call them for some sort of connection or something. That kind of depression.

Its weird because I have been depressed before, and I've recently changed my diet, focusing on ridding my body of toxins and it seems to be working... I dunno I was so confused by it, I decided to write in.

Calling old flames because you feel depressed isn't a good idea. I did the same thing a while ago, we met up after 15 years, ended up in bed and all those old feelings came rushing uncontrollably to the surface again. I ended up feeling worse. Your own situation is different of course and it's up to you, but if you can feel better having a dump, I'd suggest a healthy diet, lots of fibre, lots of prunes, figs, dates, and as many dumps as your anus can cope with. Happiness is a warm dump, as John Lennon might have said.

Don't move the truck I'm still on the bucket!

I have been saying for some time now that there are eight basic pleasures in life: eat, drink, sleep, shit, piss, fuck, play and work. Without the first five, life as we know it would not be possible but without the last three, life as we know it would have no meaning.

It does not seem unreasonable to me then that a good dump can change your mood. This goes hand in hand with your other urge, which is to get together with your old girlfiends and relive some memories.

If you eat a sack of White Castles and a couple of boxes of onion chips and wash it all down with a Dr. Pepper, when you poop you will not only feel lighter in body but also spirit. Ridding yourself of those gastronomic demons will turn your day around !

Mrs. Crapper, you're awesome! I want a pillow, too. Can mine say: Fuck This Shit?

I had a friend John whose Momma was from the old country and always loaded him up with sausage and pasta with a topper of rum balls and gelato for dessert. He would feel downright lethargic some days until he passed the giant turds this diet produced. He started weighing himself before and after he used the bathroom and also discovered he lost 5 pounds after each trip. He noticed he emerged from the can with a smile and a skip in his step.

Maybe your body ridding itself of toxins brightens your mood and spirit? Whatever's clever. If it makes you feel better, do it more often if possible.

Maybe you're just fulla shit. I know I get depressed when I am.

I just moved to S. Korea and away from all things I love and cherish. I will have to say that on a day I feel bummed and homesick I realize I just need to drop some brown babies in the pool. After a good dump I'm ready to take on the world. no doubt I think it the endorhins realeased after a good gastronomical feat that produces the feelings of well-being.. that and feeling 5 pounds lighter is surely a plus.

I am not sure scientifically but I am sure we can all agree that this can feel wonderful especially if you're suffering constipation. I would imagine it is possible though because the use of your muscles in your colon could cause the release of lithium or at least endorphins. After I exercise especially distance running I sometimes experience a "high" from the adrenaline and endorphins etc released during these activities.

I offer a suggestion that James is eating something he is allergic to. When he poops out the offending food a day or two later, he is no longer absorbing what is bothering him. Then he feels better.

I am allergice to EVERYTHING and I experience this phenomenon especially if I accidently eat peanuts. I have to take adrenalin so I can breathe right after I eat them, but it can still cause digestive problams and asthma til I poop it out. -A couple days later and all is right with the world again.

Tell me about your diet James....
