Black Suicide (Depression)

[The Emperor]

Are you a neuroscientist?

Can I see your degree?

The brain is like the universe or the deep sea.

Even though scientists and doctors have spent years researching it...we only know about 10% of what it's actually about.

Why do you think there are new studies each day about some new development or process in the brain that we didn't know before.

This is simple thinking...it's more COMPLEX then that!

Not to try to wave my knowledge in your face but I spent 4 years in nursing school, I had to write reports on this stuff, I had to actually observe people locked in a mental institution and then go over their medical charts and write papers on what I observed...

I have studied Anatomy and Physiology for about 4-5 years...
I'm not just JOE BLOW with a guess, I'm taking what I've learned from books, observation, and my own life experiences...

When you are happy your brain emits certain chemicals...
When you are depressed your brain isn't able to keep this system working properly...

The anti-depression medication is basically a CHEAT CODE for the brain that stops you from feeling extremely sad and brings you back to a NORMAL state...
*This is where knowledge and good daily practice is needed

If you figure out what I figured out and learn to manage your thoughts and stay out of negative thinking patterns and avoid the things that make you sad then it's very possible you can get off of antidepression meds...

But it's EXTREMELY difficult, because LIFE does happen...
But my outlook has changed significantly lately

Don't fool yourself we know enough about the brain to help ourselves...
There are different areas of the brain where different emotions are generated from...
If you have an injury to that portion of your brain your emotions are affected...

Again not trying to wave my knowledge in your face but you asked...
There is a book about the size of my hand that's about 3 inches thick that damn near explains word for word what each medicine used does and how it acts on the organs...

One of my BIGGEST sources of depression was my current job...
I wanted to work at this place for YEARS AND YEARS, finally got hired thought my life was gonna change for the better in a BIG WAY
And then it sinks in that the raises SUCK, and that there is ZERO GROWTH POTENTIAL, I mean ZERO...

I'm a person with a lot of ambition so it hurt bad when it all clicked...
But I found a solution I'm finishing up a degree and will soon be leaving here for bigger and better things...

Good Luck with your studies.

I'm in the same place with the job situation...no upward mobility, no raises..so I got to make a move.

Bruh my yearly raise was 2.4%
Then I got another 5% raise out the blue just because somebody else underpaid transferred out to another location and they wanted to give the 3 lowest paid people a raise to prevent us all from jumping ship...

I can't wait to give my farewell speech/letter...

This is true...they say that depression is like cancer of the brain...

It's a struggle...a struggle that I've personally dealt with.

I feel like, ultimately, people can come and go as they please.

 

[Wildin]

Half of beating depression is defeating negative thinking...
Your body responds to all that negative thinking...
I push myself outta bad or sad thoughts and don't allow myself to dwell on it...

Change your thoughts, change your life.

That cycle of negative thinking really drags you down to where you can't see the good even when it's there.

It's a process to get out of depression. It feels like an addiction where you
have to fight to keep from relapsing.

to you tho, for making that change in thoughts.

At least you got something...try 8 years no raise. We got a bonus this year, but it had been 4 years since that....

[Real N Quotes]

I've suffered from depression for 10+ years but have been feeling inspired and motivated THIS YEAR. I had always viewed suicide as a personal decision and probably something I'd do around age 75 rather than stay here and fall apart physically and mentally do to the aging process, but all of that changed for me when Robin Williams committed suicide I suddenly viewed suicide as literally QUITTING. The way I feel now there is no way I can QUIT, this life can get the best of me, I may even LOSE but one thing I will not do is QUIT.

Suicide is not a reset button...

I will live this life to it's natural completion...
Good, Bad, Or Ugly

If you can't live a bad life or a sad life with heart then you didn't deserve a good one...

I'm going to pray for you breh

Don't ever give up

When life gets cloudy focus on doing for others

Appreciate it, I'm about the best I've ever been...
It took studying myself, and a great group of female friends who are like sisters to me...

I made this post because the stats say the black community never talks about depression...
Wanted to open the convo up...

We all have moments from time to time where we may question our threshold for disappointing experiences.The key is to attempt to put things in perspective. .that's why prayer is so important because we can't do it all ourselves

I go through depression and thoughts of suicide daily, mostly feeling that I haven't lived up to my potential and I'm a underachiever, it's tough and I'm a black man so I'm in that category, it's real tough. Good thing is I have no kids to feed but alot of women my age group most likely won't fukk with me on a serious level. I usually fukk the local hoodrat or something.

I come from a single mother home, with a single mother who just prays and knows nothing else so if I don't have natural motivation at a young then it's gonna be a uphill battle, this is the real role a father plays in the household brehs, to keep young boys on track and on the right path.

I'm at work and I'm waiting for these nikkas to fire me, I'm on the net all day, don't even give a fukk. Once I get fired, then I'll leave the relocate and rent a motel or something and just start grinding from scratch.
