Essential The Mental Health Thread

Yeah that part is wrap. No sex drive and it takes a lot to get going, by that point I don't care anymore. I have to let my girl know I'm having some days where things just aren't going to work out.

I've been turning women down heavy recently, like it's a full on exercise at this point. I dont know if I can keep taking it

Drugs are the worst and I wish I never started them



On Venlafaxine and it takes everything from me. I feel like a spectator in my life.



Don't feel anything but a roaming headache being covered by the pills.

The withdrawal takes a long time to come down from, this is a heavy drug.



I don't give a damn about anything. But I do want to overcome this and enter the mellow period. The shakes and zaps are sickening.

I'm on Venlafaxine too breh


The withdrawal symptoms if you miss a dose them nightmares and not being able to sleep are no joke.

Currently fighting this 3rd shift life trying to zombify me , I keep reminding myself to get sun in after I sleep and keep my internal rhythm in check. This job won’t be the end of me. Movement and Nature is key.

Didn't even know that the sleeplessness came from this. For me I sleep but I still feel awake so I'm always tired.

And the dreams feel so real that I can't even tell them apart from real life. Normally while in the dream I can say, "I'm dreaming," not anymore and some of these escapades in the dream wakes me with a rushing heart and a l sweaty state.

I've taken huge steps in that 1. realizing how important mental health is 2. addressing some of my traumas 3. learning to forgive others, myself, and recognize emotions and how to react better, 4. realizing i was depressed and anxious for much of my life and learning how to get help for that

shout out to everyone taking steps to improve their mental health

Right now: my main issue now is my job and this past year is putting unbelievable stress on me . if other parts of my life hadn't improved I'd be depressed again.

Still working on my depression and anxiety issues. made alot of progress since posting this

got a much better job so that's helped. working on fixing my negative self image as well

its a journey brehs

I've been sober for a few days now and it makes me realize how content with boredom being high makes me.

I have no social life and being sober is hell. Getting high is the only enjoyment I get out of life.

These days I just feel like I’m spiraling further and further away from the core of who I am. Like I’m orbiting around who I once was. The “original” me. I remember the “original” me. I remember what he felt like. I don’t know. Especially these last few years, something just feels…off. I don’t even know what normalcy is anymore. I’d like to get back to the “original” me, but that door feels like its been closed permanently. Also, I feel anxious as fukk everyday nowadays. I can’t shake this feeling that something, or someone, is coming to take something from me. Very odd. Nothing feels permanent. It all feels like it could slip away at any moment. My body doesn’t even feel like it’s mine. Almost like I’m renting my entire existence. I feel like I’m floating above myself. Strange.

Not a quiet place on this earth.

Been dealing with major depressive disorder for the past 4 years since i was in the military, and recently had a talk with my gf about how it affects me. Luckily she was receptive and understanding. She deals with anxiety herself but as a man it isnt the easiest thing

I still have rough days but this feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders to be able tell her that and not have her call me out my name and just listen

Man, the more time moves forward the further I think Earth is actually Hell. Hate this place, lol.

I think the real mental issue among black men is lack of self confidence from the way we’re viewed and treated by the rest of society , and that’s why a lot of us move to drugs and other escape “mechanisms”. Learn to ourselves , love your personality, no you are not weird ... yes things will be difficult but if you can survive I promise you are a legend. Keep your head up fellas we got this, decade of the black man!

Never let someone else's opinion of you become your opinion of yourself.
