Essential The Mental Health Thread

Therapy>>>>>>>>>>>>

Finding out what you do that turns women away is key.

You probably haven't come to terms yourself about what makes these women not want to settle down with you.

Therapy would help you face that issue and eradicate it.

Or at least point you in the right direction.

You literally mentioned women in your first post in this thread

For one, you do have to be tall.

the average man is not tall


tall men have it easier due to fetishists, but that doesn't mean smedium brehs will not find love

Still though. My question isn’t on women

 

[Yinny]

Personally? No

But most do and it shows in how they treat people.

Been going through a lil rough patch recently brehs won’t lie


Ain’t been in the gym in a couple weeks, grades slippin (think I’ll just take next semester off fr), been drinking and smoking weed excessively


Been abusing DoorDash


Goin to see my grandpa in the hospital for Thanksgiving no bs brehs might be last time I see him. shyt hurt since I’m all the way on the other side of the country but it’s the price I pay



Also been very carefree with my sex life since I broke up with my long term girlfriend. If you find yourself wanting a lot more sex and taking more risks sexually than I’m just sayin there might be an underlying problem brehs




I think after I see my fam again and tie up a couple loose ends shyt will start lookin up for me…only problem is finding the motivation to tie up those ends

Sorry to hear about your grandfather. Hopefully you can keep the memories of him as you continue on. Only you will know how it affects you when the time comes, but, it would be best to have a line of communication so you can talk it out.

As for the bolded. That's me. I've had the Kanye jaw for the almost 2 weeks and have finally begun to eat solid food today. My focus has been garbage and I've been irritated so when I was doing my homework, at points I just said F it.

I think I may take the next semester off as well, classes filled up and only 6-10 pm classes are available which will ruin my work schedule.

As for the relations part, I was there when I was a bit younger. Definitely not good times to look back on. Don't want a baby popping up. That could ruin your life if you're not settled.

Im hurt right now. The holidays have me feeling down. Come to think of it. I think since ive been a teen, the holidays have always made me feel a certain negative way. Its just the fakeness from people and emptiness that comes from those days. This day makes me feel shytty like im ungrateful. Even when im sitting in silence feeling an uncomfortable way, im grateful to be alive to experience it and im gonna survive to know and gain from that experience.

I think overthinking and being a thinker is bad for someones mental health. Im alone with my thoughts all the time and that shyt has made me strong and tough because i fight off a lot of negative thoughts. Ive had to talk myself out of things mentally and each day, i get more strength to manage mentally. This pandemic really has tested the fukk out of me. I wouldnt have found out what my problem was though if covid never happened and ive always wanted to know what my issue was. My life is a seesaw right now.

Real talk, im gonna admit this but i felt like whenever i get a material christmas gift that i wanted like a toy, there was something that was satisified in me but it wasnt what i thought would make me feel whole, i guess. Like i felt that there was something missing back then and now all these years later, i guess im slowly starting to figure out and not wanting to accept whats missing. Actually theres many things missing. The question is will they ever be found or appear when i need them. Is it people who are missing? Things? Im slowly starting to see it and yeah, im afraid of the answers to these questions because im so used to being in pain and fukked up that to actually be well and be able to get what i need, i feel guilty and weird like i dont deserve it. Im actually scared to be happy and actually feel good that i tend to humble myself and fight that shyt as to prepare for depression again. Thats how used to feeling shytty i am.


im scared to be well because im used to feeling and being a mess. I need to stop being so hard on myself.

It has fukked me up. I have hardly been sleeping or eating. Feeling sick a lot. Clenching my teeth and biting the side of my mouth. How are you feeling with it?

@semicko82 @Slic Ric and anybody else,

To anybody reading this
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO, DO NOT TAKE ANY SSRI MEDS.

shyt will fukk your brain up. Its no joke. Took it for the first 6 months of 2013 after i was diagnosis by a med student/shrink in training with generalized anxiety, ocd, and major depressive disorder. That shyt was and i was unemployed too. honestly, i want to go back to another shrink and get better revaluated and assessed


But that shyt isnt to be fukked with. They say that it does help with cbt (cognitive behavioral therapy) but never did that while i was on the loft. Charity care was what i was using so.. money most definitely determines the care and access to doctors you get.


And coming off the meds, i had horrible "brain zaps". that shyt happened for months and the side effects happen as soon as you take those pills and even long afterwards. In some peoples cases, the side effects might be permanent.

I’ve had the brain zaps coming off 2 different sets of meds, I stopped taking everything about 1.5 months ago

After the initial fallout from coming off 3 different prescriptions at once a lot of stuff got better but some of the older problems are resurfacing a bit

I had to do something though, I was on medical leave and ei for a year and a half and was having a lot of problems when I started working again in the afternoon when I was there. I took my pills at 11 am and by the afternoon I was a stupid lethargic mess

I don’t like them at all, but now I’m drinking a lot again so I have to get that under control

I can probably deal with the anxiety/panic attacks ( I’m sure the definition of those in my mind are incorrect but it’s how I keep track of them because it’s two entirely different episodes) the ‘head snaps’ are getting a little worse with panic attacks though (when it gets bad I start whipping my head back and forth, generally end up with a really sore neck) but that’s usually a night time thing, hasn’t happened at work yet

I think I can deal with it as long as the disassociation from before the pills doesn’t come back

I hope I’m doing the right thing

Like I said on Day 6 of 25mg and I'm supposed to move to 50, feel very drowsy and I want to just stop but idk. I am scheduled to start therapy next week or the following and want to stop before hand but i know you cant really.

Not being able to drink with it bothers me a lot. The weight gain is very concerning too

I didnt realize I was going to be prescribed Zoloft weeks after you said this. Im at 25mg and been on it for a few days, should I just stop?

I'm on 50mg. Can take a week or two for side effects to subside. Yeah they say it's not wise to just come off them cold turkey. I did a couple years ago and it didn't really go well.
Who said you can't drink on it? I don't drink often but I have while on Zoloft and was ok other than a hangover

Maybe its because its the raining season in seattle but im doing pretty bad yall

been working out so thats good but just been down on myself and life in general. Feeling a huge sense of self loathing and really no hope for the future.

That quote from the Sopranos about "the best days being over and coming in at the end" is really sticking with me. I feel like im working hard and trying to be a good person for what? for a world that doesnt even really seem to care or value these things? especially at times in our community. i feel surrounded by decay. And no hope for it getting better.


And even then im not even sure if im on the right path; as im just going through the motions at my job. By all metrics, im doing well. Im just not excelling or craving to be better.

I dunno. maybe its just the holidays and being in a region with very little support, absolutely 0 social life or confidants. Ill be home next month i guess.
