Depression Treatment

[a hundred kazillion]

I didn't realize there were 40 different antidepressants floating around.

[Doc Flabby]

Everyone I've seen take anti-depression drugs has ended up more fucked up, or even dead afterwards, than before taking them.

My advice is start to realise what depression is, its a mental state. And like any mental state, it can be changed and manipulated by yourself (athough this may not be easy). Example of control of mental state: When you are feeling angry for example, you might bunch the crap outta a punch bag, then you feel better and less angry.

Its a matter of learning to control it, once you realise you're in a depression "mood" or on a "downer", you can say to yourself, oh i'm just in a depressive mood, rather than wrongly attributing outside influences, because usually there are none, it just happens randomly due to hormones so your brain has to invent shit to explain it when you try and work it out.

Well The best cure for that kind of depression I think, is to just take it easy and find alot of friends and just smoke out with them and life will be ok.

God I met this girl and other people the other day (i'm constantly making friends and smoking out with them) they made me so happy just chillin with them god life so fucking good man. Its like my second family now. anyways just stick with my view on things and im sure you will pull through and be great man.

I am suffering from depression and i cannot get treatment. they say there is treatment but are hoaxing us. Prozac and their other medications dont work to make me feel better. I tried around 40 of their medications and none worked. i need a treatment for depression that will make me feel good with lots of energy so i will do things like clean my home. Otherwise i feel intense dysphoria in my spine, brain stem and skull and have to lie down a lot feeling suffering that destroys my life.

The secret shadow government doesnt want us to have treatment for depression because they traffic heroin and cocaine to make money. If there was a treatment for depression that work, all the people who get street drugs would stop getting them and just use the doctor's prescription treatment that worked instead, because it would work and make them feel good so they no longer feel the need or motive to do drugs. This is the motive for not have depression treatment, keep the street drugs going for money.

I believe we should have real depression treatment that works, induces feelings of well-being, and is over the counter so that life would be better and more bearable.

Drugs wont fix a depression you have to do it yourself. If you want to feel better, I suggest start running or working out or go swimming. It clears your head, and it makes you feel better. When you run youre body will release endorphins and stuff. Thats the best drug you will ever get.
Also writting all these conspiracy theories on the subspace forums prolly isnt helping either. Ure just feeding ure paranoia needs.

my solution was long time life goals, basically just involvement in the next huge thing that catches me in the next few decades.

i feel so very relaxed like there's so long to prepare, and it forms a bubble of solace around me for when i do feel like trying my skills at depressing things.

i know there's prospects for my future despite any day to day turmoil, so i release tension like a pro, knowing i've got so much taken for granted by feeling apart from the moment.

hating everything that seems impossible to endure builds character, as i build finance, as no matter what i do the future will blow my fucking mind, and i'd sorry to have lived before it except for the bewildering amount of shit i get to filter as useless:
people in general, my own misanthropy, jealousy, and my predisposition to dislike my own interactions. like you know, you lose a fucking game of baseelim because you just woke up or didnt pay attention, who fucking cares if your entire life culminates to that failure, it changes. predisposed to know everything about when you'd do better how can you ever be depressed? look at life like a 2d spaceship game, and the luck is pretty similar. strays are fucking bullshit, and everyone stabs you in the back.

so much to be jealous of in the future, suicide would be like selling your tickets to a show that deeper inside you wish you were performing in. what we do get to see of our grandchildren's luxuries is worth the struggle to fuck off from everything for decades on end.

the comforts we were stolen by living now instead of when there's transcendence - having to rough it doesnt(or shouldnt for those depressed) own our minds, just our bodies. the drugs are the middle grounds, which our bodies really wish we had to fend off the time until the future when the real comforts arrive.

Sol Gel can be used to dispense chemicals into cells from between cells, actually inside interstitial fluid as a medium, and that includes medicinal or recreational/euphoric. The technology is here, people have been jailed for showing too much interest (look up pickard's scientific career ie. sol gel & subsequent arrest charges).

It's just a bit until we look at the generation of the millennium like the miserable failing vermins we see when we look at our recent ancestor's societies.

Why so many suggestions for drugs? How about you try something more natural like Exercising. Also, set some goals and nail them.

Anyone who has talked with me in game will know what kind of stuff I put myself through over the last 10 years.

I had been depressed for many years. A lot of things influenced my behavior and attitude towards how I perceived my life, my ambition, my will, my feelings, my social interaction, my thinking. In turn all those things influenced my actions. Change can be a difficult thing to embrace and sometimes people get depressed when they know they want a change but never give themselves enough credit to go out and do it. It is just as easy NOT to do something as it is TO DO it. Most of our actions develop into habits and our habits in turn influence our beliefs. What we believe to be true about others and ourselves directly affects everything in and around you. One of the best ways to get rid of old, bad habits is to discipline yourself to stay away from them while you develop new, good habits.

Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain. Usually its influenced by a decrease in serotonin levels. Serotonin (similar to dopamine) affects mood. There are many resources available (by a google search) about the truth in this. Because of these low levels and from smoking pot (which produces bursts of dopamine in your brain) I was constantly up and down, while some of it was my negative thinking and habits and also solitude and lack of REAL social interactions also influenced this. I now take an SSRI (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor) which helps your brain produce proper levels of serotonin. All drugs are not created equal but the main one I see used is Citalopram. I've been on it since April and that combined with quitting smoking cigs, pot, drinking, and also taking charge of my life in a productive means has greatly improved my overall physical and mental health. Combine all of this with some proper positive reading (psychology and self-improvement books) have given me a perspective I would have never seen had I stayed with the old habits.

I can't say this will work for you, but it has worked for me and others I have talked to about this subject (support groups). I highly suggest you learn to take the focus off of yourself and put it into something greater. I have found that the power of positive association, being around those you want to be like (it has been said that you are the average of your 5 closest friends as far as intelligence and income) along with volunteer work and helping others, and again I can't stress the importance of becoming a student and reading about personal, interpersonal, social, attitude and even cooking and fitness books (new habits remember).

Anyways, that has been my experience and I hope sharing it with you will help in some way or at least give you a glimmer of hope that it is possible to go from a lonely, self absorbed, drunken pot head with no goals or plans for his life into someone that has helped make a difference in others' lives by developing himself and having better habits, game plan, and positive outlook for his future. If you would like to discuss more I encourage you to pick my brain and/or follow the path I have been down. Email me at matt AT bmghomeloans DOT net

There is hope!

That's simply replacing 1 dependency with another. It takes an enormous amount of willpower, or a set of circumstances that cause a volte-face to drive someone out of deep depression. Using drugs to correct mental disorders should only occur when the disorder is an endangerment to the self or others. Otherwise it is on you. I am not going to be like kthx and say "tough it out" or dutch and say "work out, it'll go away", because these people have likely never experienced a severe bout with depression. However, I will echo one aspect of what they are both saying: avoid complacency. Complacency fuels depression. I would like to avoid typing out a life story, but if you want serious advice just send a forum pm.

420 is also an amazing man to talk to.
