Welp, my doctor just put me on vitamin D pills. I guess I'm officially a hermit. I'm really going to dread starting my first day of work tomorrow.

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 took gabapetin for a while. shyt is good when you're coming off benzos. It makes you dumb as hell though. My IQ took a nose-dive when I was on that shyt. I got off it, and I'm smart again.

And you're right about med costs. If I didn't have excellent insurance my pills alone would cost over a G a month. One medicine alone, geodon, costs like $568 or something just by itself.

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

That's your "illness" speaking.

Learn to meditate. Sit breathe. Let the thoughts come and go. Until there is nothing left.

 

[same damn lo sweater]

not for everybody, but i think the keto diet would help some people. at the very least you have more energy & need way less sleep.

got off prozac & a couple other meds a few months back & i'm prolly better without em.

Blocked mental pathways (basically unreasonable beliefs and/or fears that are in the subconscious.)

This is what I think is keeping me back...Like I literally feel something inside of mind that "cuts me off" whenever I try to do/accomplish something.

For example: A person is having trouble standing up for his/herself. They are fully capable of standing up for themselves more than efficiently, but the little feeling in their brain stops them from doing so, and instead leaves them stuttering fearful and unsure of themselves...

Another example: A person is going to spar, or even get in a real altercation. He/she has more than enough self-defense training, yet they still are overly nervous and "freezing up." They cannot defend themselves due to this subconscious paralyzing fear, which seems (no better yet, IS) unwarranted...

Does anyone have any clue how to break this/or at least some experience with this?

Long time dealing with depression here. I have been cycling back and forth between depression and normalcy for almost half of my life. I finally got a good psychologist, and I was put on meds (Wellbutrin) and I have been good so far. Also changed the way I eat and exercise more regularly now. I come off the meds in May, and I do worry I'll relapse back into the cycle. I think with good habits I will be okay tho.

I either suffer from depression and/or anxiety or I am a psychological hyperchondriac.

I guess it's worth a try.

Do you smoke weed or take percs or anything? Do you ever remember being happy?

Yeah, drugs and alcohol used to make me happy. I can't drink anymore because of my meds and weed makes me paranoid as fukk now. It's no fun. I like opiates, but my liver is fukked up because of an old med I was on, so I really can't take those anymore.

I don't remember being happy much. I'm simply a depressed individual.

I asked bout drugs because they can make you unbalanced. Asked about your happiness because was wondering if something traumatic happen. try to find a good shrink I bet that will help
