i find anti-depressants keep me mostly stable but i’m heading towards a depressive nihilism lately, and i don’t like that
i feel like my emotions are repressed into my internal monologue instead of being released by crying or anything else
replace that nihilism with absurdism imo
Yes a lot of things have been proven to work in at least alleviating depression, however not everything works as well for everybody
Case by case thing. Short term/immediate relief i drink gallons of tea and smoke cbd or an alternative sedative herb.
Long term i’ve been experimenting with meditation for years and was in therapy for a short time and plan to go back again eventually.
In my experience i find the most relief in self reflection. It hurts a lot but the clarity on the other side is worth it to me. Im not a suppression/repression guy anymore. That way of living nearly ruined my life.
That isnt the case for some people, for good reason. You gotta use whatever energy you have and try any and everything and find what works for you, and maybe understand why in the process.

I feel that second part so much, so many times I wanted to cry during an emotional film or cause I was feeling blue but the meds wouldn’t let me
Totally gets repressed into your internal monologue, great great insight there. Totally agree
Was on multiple antidepressants and none of them really worked for me. A lot of them would kill my mood and I was just emotionless. After that I just came to terms with being depressed for life. If this who I really am might as well embrace it.
prozac def makes me feel emotionally dulled out for the most part but I prefer that a lot to what I feel like without it so
the thing i hate is that when i have depressive spirals is that i feel like its the only time i start thinking coherently and i want to write things down that im thinking about but i just can't
U got adhd innit bruv?
