Yes.

I talk to God. Deep meditation, keep the commandments and always focused on that.

yes

unfortunately tho i keep f***ing things up because i'm scared to tell my therapist the truth

I go to therapy all the time . Saved my life.
Nice having an older man I can talk to that doesnt judge me and gives me an advice ...
Basically a replacement father or big bro figure

Going to therapists was helpful because it taught me that I'm the only one who can fix myself

This s*** gets real tho the worse u get the more likely they are to put u on very strong meds that will basically turn u into a zombie

Yeah, I see one guy that works for the same company as my psychiatrist and he's pretty cool. I don't get super personal with him because I don't want to say anything too wild to someone who is with the same company that handles my prescriptions. I recently started seeing a guy I had seen previously and it went really well the first session. He helped me with some bad habits I needed to kick. I find it helps to go in with specific questions in mind about how you might go about doing things in your current predicament, instead of going in there with no game plan and just shooting the s***. Waste of time and money.

used to when i was like 11-14 or so, she didn’t get s*** out of me and i felt like it was a waste of time regardless

Pretty reserved as well, could b me misjudging people but with discernment, some people are out for a check rather than uplifting ones mind and soul.

Yeh

Hope this gives you mates a little chuckle make the load a bit lighter that u carry

Please let me know if this is insensitive I'll delete

Hell no. I'm going to get hate for this but to me this whole mental health wave is corny. Just nut up and get on with ur life. Trash mentality I know but honestly how i feel.

Seen good friends open up to doctors n get prescribed s*** they have to take everyday and turned them into different people, f***ed up their lives.

i want to but my dad (i’m 18) is like “why you need it”. Nigga i been depressed and stuck in the house until recently. we got close family members with actual mental issues as well so this is just as baffling
being black and asking your parents for stuff like this is hard.

i feel this

the pharmaceutical companies gonna get you for this post

I can't be even doing it

See people on social media talking about their therapy sessions n conversations. Just seems like people trying to flex how deep n different they are. Fetishized depression. Anyone that speaks on it gets blown in the comments/replies for bringing awareness to mental health which truly means f*** all.

I probably should

“ mental health wave is corny” is wack when suicide is so high especially around people under 21. i have hella friends who suffer with depression and anxiety but because of the Destigmatization of it have benefitted

i've been through the worst of it at this point but i needed the help at one point.

there was a time where i should have done something about my mental health. I was fresh off a ugly breakup with a girl i thought i was going to marry, i was beyond depressed. staying up til 3,4am drinking and smoking every single night. having to be at work at 6am and being just miserable, exhausted, and sad. went home and started it all over. again and again and again.

I probably could have killed myself in that period of time. I did some regrettable things and scared some people that didn't deserve to be scared by it. things are better now, I got promoted at work, moved to a different apartment, and just took control of myself for the most part through sheer willpower. but I wish I had someone to talk to back then. I was too embarrassed to tell my friends or family or post about it on here. I still drink a bit more than i should but it's nothing compared to how I used to be. some pain just is hard to shake.

(idk why i shared this but it felt good to just type it out)

not going to therapy and not being medicated >>>>>>

i think its time to evaluate if i need therapy again fellas... i have awful self esteem and im so mean to myself i got some serious f***ing issues!!
