Essential The Mental Health Thread

[SmoothOperator88]

I just had an epiphany just about how terribly I treat myself. And the levels of how much I blame myself for everything.

Got declined for an interview because I didn't have the experience they were looking for in the position. I spiraled way out of control blaming myself when the reality is like its not a big deal I don't have the experience now. I've been punishing myself for a long time for my own issues and not being perfect and competent and good enough and 100% in control. And I just caught myself like I'm really blaming my own long battle with depression and doing the right thing and trying to get healthy for getting turned down for an interview?!?

It doesn't serve me at all to live with that level of self-loathing.

damn jus found this thread

past 2-3 years i've developed anxiety/depression that has gotten worse and worse

does not help that my profession is extremely stressful, and i think my new job contributes to this

i've been seeking professional help

been prescribed a benzo (klonopin) which i take maybe 2-3x a week at a dosage of like 0.5 mg which is very low. i've found it to be pretty helpful.

i'm also trying to take cbd oil, which helps on a daily level.

but yea, anxiety is a bytch. lifes ruff out here bruhs

Yo, for real, for real...klonopin is not to be fukked with. It's a great sedative, but the addiction to it is fukking terrible. I was taking 4mg a day of Klonopin. I literally could not get off that shyt by myself. I had to go to a psych ward to get detoxed (pysch ward, because I was suicidal...whatever). That happened in August. Breh, I'm literally still fukked up from detoxing from klonopin. shyt has the possibility to really fukk your shyt up. Be warned

I’m going through depression myself. But I will say that I have been better than I was months ago, and have been taking some supplements like St. John’s Wort and eating healthy to aid in boosting my mood/well being.

what was your initial dosage, and how long did you take to get to 4 mg?

i still feel like i'm in control, and not taking it daily. just taking it couple times a week at like 0.5 dosage

Watch out breh. You said you're not taking it daily, which is good, but that shyt can kill you, when it comes to withdrawal.

I started at .5mg, and moved up and up after it wasn't working anymore. The max dose is 4mg, and I was on that.

The detox on benzos is absolutely terrifiying. I don't even know when I'll be back to normal, and I've been off klonopin since august. shyt is a terrible drug. Be very careful!

i appreciate the insight bruh, ty.

ive been tryin to seek therapy, and i've heard about benzo withdrawal. in general i don't have a very addictive personality, and i'm taking it under medical supervision, and def not trying to get it to where i have to take it daily. i'm jus trying to take it for a bit to manage the anxiety, and hopefully the anxiety gets better over time.

my fear is what u describe, where i need the klonopin jus to get thru daily life.

best of luck to you bruh, hope things get better. just gotta keep enduring for now and see the light at the end of the tunnel, things eventually get better (i hope)

religion n stuff may help as well breh, having faith in a better future/afterlife is def a strength that can help. im not particularly religious but i been trying to seek faith/hope there

hope all the rest of u bruhs in this thread stay strong as well and have faith for a better future

I have the same problem. My depressive episodes “only” come around twice a year or so but when it does the self-blame is on a hundred thousand. I still haven’t found a good way to deal with it yet.

Feels like yesterday when this happened time flies quick in Life scary

It's gonna get worse as the world is putting money over the em-betterment of the people. Pushing independence, pushing the idea that sex has become casual and isn't to be taken seriously.

Alot of guys feel they can't compete, can't get female attention, can't succeed.

It's only gonna get worst, I see more people finding religion to find a place of mental stability.

It's nothing out there anymore really that's real that comes from a place of love. Everything is a game, competition...

A good support system/therapist is such a God-send.

Even then its still tough. I've been dealing with symptoms for a long time and been full on depressive since November. I didn't even get out of bed or eat anything until 2 hours ago. It's a struggle everyday.

It is really hard to deal with anxiety and depression. It’s even harder to find people who understand. I gave up trying.
