Essential The Mental Health Thread

[Hybrinetics]

i live in england. aka clouds and rain for 10 months of the year

Then you need to get a vitamin d supplement

 

[Ciggavelli]

do you work? do you have a routine to get you out of the rut?

Yeah, I work and I'm working on my dissertation. I had to take a few days off recently because I was so depressed.

Last week I was like, you know what, I'm gonna end it all. I walked around for a few days actually happy because I knew it was gonna end soon. I snapped out of that, but I'm depressed as hell breh.

Nothing works, nothing makes me happy. I hate life really

My mental health is in shambles brehs

I've given up on trying to be happy. shyt's just not in the books for me.

I've tried dozens of meds....nothings works, except for Lamictal (but that fukked up my liver so I had to get off it).

It's kinda hard finding a reason to go on to be honest. I get no joy out of anything. I just wanna lay in bed and sleep all day.

"I hate myself and want to die" (but not really, I'm not that suicidal )

fukk all you happy people

I guess it's worth a try.

on sum real spit, after u read it start a discussion.


Book had me like


Theres still a few more Osho joints I need to cop, Eastern Philosophy IMO is the only true way out of depression


Western medicines, therapy and religion do absolutely nothing

I've been diagnosed as bi-polar by a bunch of different docs. I'm on APs to get rid of the mania, but I wanna have some mania right now. Being this depressed is fukking terrible breh.

Maybe I'll try some eastern philosophy, but I think my brain is just fukked up.

I got that sh1t in my DNA breh, mad uncles n cousins in and out of mental asylums.


I was on Zoloft about 2 years ago


I honestly should have checked myself into a few in the past few years but I'm trying to get a license to carry and that would pretty much kill my chances of getting one.


Best way to deal with life, existence, sadness and depression..etc.. is to fully accept those things, eat them up and then sh1t them out. Trying to fight them won't solve anything.


This quote right here pretty much sums of my whole philosophy on life right now

“You see this goblet?” asks Achaan Chaa, the Thai Buddhist master. “For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.”

Cop that book bruh, its only $5

I used to mediate, still listen to music (albeit depressing music) and exercise regularly. shyt doesn't help

I don't wanna be around people, I don't wanna watch tv (I have to force myself to sometimes), I don't wanna play games (I used to love video games), I just wanna lay there and do nothing and sleep. I'm just in a bad place right now

You being a eminem fan make sense now :thernbroom:

the last year and a half i have been OFF SEROQUEL.... which after many trial and error oer literally years was the only med that actualy worked and made me "centered" you could say.. prior to seroquel i was givin a host of other meds hallidol(haldol) Chlorpromazine asenapine and a couple others.. this was oer about a 3yr period.. and none helped besides the seroquel...

i LOVED my seroquel it literally saed my life @ the time i was on it for about 2 and a half years.. during that timefram my well being was lifted to places ie neer experienced in my anfe..literally is a miracle drug in my eyes.. and im sure those who suffer the same illness would agree..

so why did i stop takan seroquel??????????????????????????????? after 2+yrs on seroquel and my oerall meantal helth and well being improing ten fold.. it gae me confidence and the courage and the mindset to believe that I COULD CONTROL IT... which is a difficult concept to digest when you have such an illness and the often hoplessness feelings that are associated with it.. but with the right knowledge practices and nutrition you can contain IT.. key word contain..not CURE.. but contain..


I AM NOT AGAINST MEDS --- they DO HELP.. so dont get the idea that i fell that meds are not needed wen delaing with illness' such as these...


BUT...KNOW that there not your only resource to improe your mental state... thats why i suggested reasearching the benefits of nutrition to improe mental helth(b vitamins,green tea,turmeric)

as well as your spiritual helath (meditaion,tao,breathing techniques)..



while meds DO HELP.. know that there not the only HOPE you have on this journey.. which imo is KEY.. there are multiple other resources that can help you attain the peace you deserve.. there IS HOPE!!

Could this have something to do with your depression?

 

[SemiEnlightenedBum]

for those determined to do it the western mental health way(most of it is bogus but some of ya'll got jobs/schools/insurance,so)any of ya'll ever try Lyrica or Gabapentin (to a lesser extent) ?

mix that with some trees,kratom,or both,and enjoy the closed eye visuals,colors,and contented feeling..

too bad they're hard to come by,that's the Ameri3kan medical system for you,find a substance that might actually help and they price it out of your range..

i do not know anything about my illness or why i am like this
