anyone know if there‘s some truth to this? cause op didnt share a source
I have heard about this too.
They were talking about ADD/ADHD and about how the theory that people with ADHD/ADD lacks dopamine is just a theory.
No one knows if it true but we talk about it like it’s true and to legitimize taking the meds
interesting read, it would explain why antidepressants never really worked for me.
i’ve been in therapy for some years (on & off) and while i could work through my traumas and get rid of my anxieties, my depression is something that never really got better.
there were just times where i forgot about it.
proud of you bro <3

I have been tried multile AD's mysellf and finally found one that is doing "something" for me
I also think it's imortant to have both a psychologist and psychiatrist
I also understand everyone doesn't have an easy time findng both that work for them or even getting acesses at all
I just got really lucky
Ah s***, crashing again.. hopefully ill bounce out of it within a week when the holidays start
I must be bipolar or something.
One day I am feeling okay, the next day I am full of rage and hate everything around me.
I can’t keep carrying this s***, it’s to much and to heavy.
Something has to change
I need to find some peace
When ever I get angry I just wanna get high so the anger goes away
Desperately want to kill myself but I just can’t hurt my family and girlfriend like that. I’ve tried every med in the book and some made things marginally better but none restore my ability to feel any sort of joy. I’ve dealt with this s\*\*\* since I was a kid and it’s just gotten worse and worse. No exaggeration my capacity to feel joy or any sense of accomplishment is 5% what is was just a few years ago. Anytime I do something “fun” I can’t shake the feeling that I just want to stop, lay down and do nothing instead. I can’t make the person I am in my head translate to how I communicate with people, and I’m in a perpetual state of anxiety. Since my total breakdown in December of 2022, I’ve tried so hard to get back out there and fix my life. I’ve almost got my degree, I have a decent job, beautiful girlfriend and a family that loves me, but I’m barely holding on. I can’t focus anymore. I can’t learn anything new. My memory is completely shot. I’ve only held on for my family and girlfriend. I used to have hope that maybe some sort of medication would fix this, but I think it’s just written in my genes. Not really looking for advice, though feel free to share if you’ve pulled yourself out of similar circumstances. Just really going through it right now and needed to write it down somewhere.
mfw historically (due to tragedies that happened around this time of the year + seasonal yada yada yada) December has never been a great month for you but this year...it's different.
everything's...ok? I'm in better spirits this month than I have been in years. Walking more. Plans on socializing more with friends I care about. Losing weight (at a sustainable pace) while still eating.
getting stood up for a date today and feeling a sense of relief due to having way more fun playing psychonauts 1 (which also, plot might also be highkey inspiring a nigga to get off the apps for good, also very appropriate game I recommend for this thread if niggas haven't played.)
I feel happy man.

even tho i've never had suicidal ideation, I know that feeling of "nothing is fun or filled with joy" all too well.
and all I can say is it does get better.
Therapist I've had for a year and a half noticed on one of our last sessions of this year how much different my outlook on things have been since we first linked and ngl her saying that had a nigga emotional.
It does get better. It's a lonesome and isolating type of journey at times but it does get better.

Appreciate the kind words. I’m not planning on going anywhere.
