I don’t think digging up the past helps anything. Anti depressants don’t really help me. It’s anxiety that causes these symptoms. Benzodiazopines work best for these ailments

Anti depressants have changed my life 100% for the better. Sometimes finding the right one means months of shit to get to better place.

Man I used to get Xans and Adderall and the Prozac. It took a long time to find that the combo helped the most. I was on that for years. Went away for a few years. When I came home a lot of things changed. Once all these young rappers started talking about the pharmaceutical scene everything went down hill. It’s a epidemic they say. Drug use has never been a secret in Baltimore. Idk. Word on the street is if you have insurance though the state your not getting anything with a narcotic in it. It’s all out of pocket. Pay to play type thing. What they don’t seem to understand is that most of time it’s the dealers that are able to pay straight out of pocket. Since covid Xanax went from $12 a bar to $20. Robbery if you ask me.

I’ve dealt with crippling depression since the age of about 10. Being almost 40 now, it’s been a long run. The best way I’ve found to manage is thru mindfulness based meditation and occasional psychedelic use. Had best success with occasional macro dosing, micro dosing was effective but not as effective. Much better than the prescribed psych meds imho

I choose to focus on the light. Sometimes it may only be a flicker. So if you don’t mind some trance beats have a smoke and meditate to this. Follow instructions.

Yeah micro dosing doze sound very appealing. Might have to grow a batch of shrooms. Not to even get high. I have noticed in the past a certain reset that happens. Once after a LSD trip I didn’t even want to smoke cigarettes.
I’ve heard that on average micro dose of psilocybin ranges from .5 to a gram every 3 days.
Thanks for reminding me about it.
A trick I do to keep bad thoughts out of my head that can pop up out of no where at times is to hum a stupid tune. I know on the outside if I do it to much people might think I have some kind of tick. I assure them I’m keeping the demons from praying on my mind. I think they might have liked it better if I had a tick. Lol.
My imagination can be so good sometimes that thinking about something could be mistaken for something that actually happened or might happen.
The mind is a crazy thing. I don’t believe we will ever reach the point of its true potential. Not this round of human civilization anyway. Between technology and the stuff put in our foods has truly screwed us up.

I vowed to never use antidepressants again after the serotonin syndrome episode I had and the resulting tremors and dyskinesia that lasted eighteen months.
If you use THEM PLEASE be careful. I was popping them like candy and messed myself up and quitting cold turkey was a really BAD idea.
If you decide to stop…wen yourself off with the help of a Doctor! Trust me on this.

Smoking weed again after forty years away helped my tremors and twitches. I’m not sure of the strain but it was mellow and probably had cbd.

"Reliving old reviews
Is a useless tool of confusion
Don’t hold your breath for the turn around
Come into the world of endless odds
Cause yesterday don’t mean shit
What’s over is over and nothing between
Yesterday don’t mean shit
Because tomorrow’s the day you have to face"

I had a pretty extreme depression for about 15 years. I cut myself off completely from any friends, and really only talked to my parents and siblings, occasionally. I let my place go to shit, because I found it was a very effective way of keeping distance without having to explain much. ‘Cant hang out my place it too messy’. Now that I am trying to dig myself out of the hole I made, it’s a tricky situation. I got most of the trash out of my place, but I have a bunch of crap I need to go through / throw out. I try to pace myself, so I don’t get burnt out and stop. I am currently battling ants, that I think lost whatever they had been eating in the trash I got rid of.
It’s a really difficult thing to pull out of, when you feel like you are ‘faking it to make it’, because any wrench in the plan (like these damned ants) make me just want to throw in the towel and go sleep.

I was born into this. Our house was condemned because of my mother’s lifelong dedication to “just getting by”. I’m starting to break her of it, getting her to acknowledge how unhealthy this is. But yeah… I feel bad for those who suffered before the recent wave of psychological knowledge. We still don’t know shit, but not too long ago mental illness was a toxic stigma. A intrinsic weakness, not just a medical problem.
Stop just getting by guys. Complain until someone helps. I’m to the point I instinctively say things are not great but ok… no, they aren’t ok. Stop saying that!

Not so much depressed as more frustrated, infuriated and discontent with the way our govt handles everything and anything.
Like I think it’s very fucked up that some people who don’t have a job who are completely capable of getting job don’t do it because of pure laziness and what gets my hair on Fire is these same people got their stimulus checks and they don’t put into the system but yet guys like me who have done their taxes and everything up to date get screwed having to wait for a stimulus check that could certainly help financially. More of a rant, sorry if anyone feels offended.
Anyone else still waiting for their stimmy and have their ducks in a row??? Like WTF is the irs doing???

Get depressed. Start neglecting responsibilities. Stress out because you know you’re making things worse, start the downward spiral of stress making your depression worse and vice versa. Hopelessness starts creeping in. Working through the cycle now, both my plants are suffering for it, but as frustrating and overwhelming as it can be at times I’m not nearly as bad as I was just a couple years ago and it’s important to focus on changes we make for the better and not dwell in so much negativity.

That line of thinking will definitely make you more depressed.

If I were the average Joe perhaps so.
Conscientiously aware of mind, emotions and environment. Once those 3 are hacked, depression is not so much a factor.
Going down the rabbit hole of mysticism, esoteric and occult knowledge is where I sometimes spend too much time… everyone is different and what works for one might not for the next.
Point is find what works for you to beat your depression, stick with it and look forward to each day!
