The black man is always targeted.
Not interested in being prescribed medication tho. Too many side effects and withdrawal. Symptoms
Would much rather prefer to go to a psychotherapist for a proper evaluation to see what’s going on and then going through therapy intervention.
All a psychiatrist is going to do is try to write me meds for whatever problems I have.

Finally found a decent GP...Lady been trying to help me last few months with issues.
So I weaned off my Prozac in order to try new medication because I didnt feel it was helping much.
Reduced dosage for two weeks then off completely.
Initially some side effects such as fatigue.
Got my new meds but I dont even wanna take them, like I feel better than when I was on the meds in terms of mood and energy.
Noticed I've been spending less time in bed napping day in day out.
Now I cant say its solely because I'm no longer taking Prozac because I've been back in the gym for the last month and also I've been socializing a bit more.
Had a good weekend with friend hadn't seen in years couple weeks back.
Plus I put my studying on back burner temporarily but I need to get these assignments done by August, since I flopped the semester due to my issues.
Plan to get back to this this week...Still battling with figuring out my ADHD and the best way my brain works to get shyt done.
Could also be weather, suns been shining and weathers been nice past few weeks in the UK!
Winter weather aint ever do me good.
Still definitely have some anxiety issues and depression
However my general day to day outlook is more positive I feel.
Nowhere near as productive as I want to be but I wouldnt expect to be.
My dilemma is do I take the medication with the hope of feeling better or just stay off and see how I get on without.
Everyday I look at the box and think give it a go but I feel "Okay"...At the moment no doubt something gonna come and negatively impact my mental again in the near future.
Might just tell my GP, I'm gonna hold off on taking them for a month and just see how I feel mentally.

One thing though.
If you on anti depressants/anxiety medication and thinking of stopping for any reason.
Discuss it with your GP, dont go completely cold turkey.
I've done it in the past several times over past few years and its not a great experience.
Quitting 100mg+ Zoloft abruptly was an experience.
Feeling like youre brains being electrocuted every so often is annoying and awful

having issues with impulse control
real self sabotage shyt
ive worked hard to change my living situation...in august,im going to have my own place for the first time in a decade. that was my 2021 goal...pay off some debt, save money, get my own place...i made it happen
im super anxious about it tho....im super lonely as it is...but at least I have people I can see when i walk out of my room and they make an effort to chop it up with me here and there. there's a comfort in knowing someone is in the other room...when im alone alone, im scared its going to get super real and i wont know how to handle it
i haven't been able to focus on anything of note for months
i want to get back to making music...writing...try to learn something new..but most of days are spent sleeping and just scrolling the internet, looking for an escape from reality
but at least i know whats happening..i go through spells like this and i tend to bounce back
i started going back to work last week and it helps being out of the house and having a routine
im going to really put in a concerted effort to right the ship this week....lay out a plan, stick to it
good luck and positive energy to anybody out there dealing with something similar...stay resilient

Went to first session, they think I have light depression and anxiety. Doc prescribed me Zoloft.
I have 5 sessions with a guidance counselor
Are you still on zoloft? Did it greatly help?
Depression byke, looking for energy to do the the things I slated for today. Work setbacks, school setbacks neither my fault. Idk, Imma make some health smoothies. Forgot how life be trash most of the time, these sobriety periods to keep tolerance low are toooooouuuuuugggggggghhhhh at times.
Pretty much here mentally

Kinda feeling like I have a better support system than I did a month ago. Had to cut some people off they wasn’t good for my mental and they always made shyt about them knowing I’m in a hardship in life, could be worse but man earlier in the week I was suicidal status. Haven’t felt that way in years, can’t really find any good reasons to stay alive.
What’s a GPOne thing though.

Can related to the bolded. Works kept me from working out, plus I got a scorn woman on my hands threatening to put me in very hot water. I'm hoping she's bluffing but if not my shyt might really get completely fukked. If that happens I don''t know if I have the resiliency to get back up tbh. Probably losing peaceful sleep waiting for the other shoe to drop, in addition to being a nightowl.
I've made more money than ever the last month, and I'm still largely unhappy, guess I'm an ingrate
1-3 weeks of sobriety lets me immediately remember all the formalities, bullshyt and general struggles as day to day life, as well as life on a macro/long term concept. To answer your question, I cycle edible usage, a 3-4 weeks using them, 3-4 weeks without. I've got sloppy as recent as a lot of stressful things relating to transfer, unforeseen fukkery/Ls are piling up in a short period of time. I still strive to have at least an entire week off at minimum mixed in to stymy tolerance as well as curb the possibility of dependence. I truly envy happy, peaceful, easy going people who are genuinely like that, because I only get a glimpse with edibles. I'm fully functional, much more patient and problem solve without as much stress involved. Minimizes pain in shifts that are manual labor intensive, brings out a warmer, more emotive, and sociable version of myself. I have an easy time with women when high, because they pick up on that unbothered energy. When I'm in the deep throws of an on cycle I'll do 150 mg-200 mg a day. When I'm on an off cycle. It's all just life. This answer frankly is as long winded as it is because I'm on Edibles, without it I'd just bold your questions and reply "Workout, edibles, eat clean", which is the crux of it.
Sidebar: I know I'm in the throws of a depressive stretch when I have to find energy to do things/tasks. Also my sex drive evaporates completely. I only feel it come around when I'm high. Then it's fairly intense in spurts. I was wondering if you have similar symptoms/indicators of depression.
