I've had clinical depression and GAD since I was 16. It's been tough to deal with at times. Really an up and down battle. There's been times when I've wanted to end it all. The anti-depressants worked in the beginning, but my tolerance is so high I'm numb to them. Talking to a shrink sometimes helps, but so does talking to any random stranger... Whether or not they're interesting and have something to say is what counts.

I've found over the last few years that pot helps a lot. Is it escapism? Am I trying to ignore my condition/s? I don't really know. For now the weed does the trick. However I can feel my body accommodating to the stimulus. Won't be long before it no longer does it for me.. I'll have to find something new then. I heard Kratom is good.

Anyone else suffer from similar conditions? How did you find out about your condition. When were you diagnosed. How do you cope?
 
Mental health is purely subjective, so one person might say I have mental illness, another might not.
 
This new gimmick of "sad emo pussy" is nowhere near as entertaining as your last gimmick of "machismo neanderthal bro"

I have clinical depression and bipolar disorder. The meds work for me bro and I've been stable for a few years now, but it also took years of fine-tuning to get the right drugs and dosages. My advice is keep in close touch with your doc and try and find a medical solution

Right? If you're going to try out a new gimmick at least sign up for a new account. Everyone still remembers him as a plagiarising :eek::eek::eek:.
 
I think I may be sick too.

For years, I have been dwelling on the past. I cant seem to stop. The thoughts really depress me.

I never suffered anything traumatic though. It is just mostly negative social interations. I keep thinking about smashing the people that disrespected me.
 
I eat shit for breakfast

The term mental illness basically encapsulates the human nature which battles ego. Taking one's thoughts too fucking seriously. Reacting to one's thoughts, seeking power, status, and essentially, chasing phantoms.

Can you be the presence behind the thought? Can you accept your depression and life situation as it is? resisting it is madness.

Find what gives you meaning and purpose. What makes you feel alive. Drive/live in this lane. I feel alive lifting weights, mma, traveling, and self exploration. It could reading, education, learning new skills, exploring, and challenging myself. Free thinking goes a long way.

Part of the mental health problem is that, your discontentment is met with a pill; pharmaceuticals get rich, and you are dumb down. Yes, in extreme cases, someone with a psychosis needs help. Someone schizo tripping balls at their base line needs fucking help. The pill doesn't fix.


Create cooping strategies; find 3 things you are grateful daily. Find 3 positive affirmations to help start your day off. 3 things that would make today awesome. Begin the day with meditation no matter how long or short. Start the day with a prayer. End the day with 3 wins of the day and 3 ways you could improve the day. End with more meditation and a prayer.


Imagine; what if the doctor prescribed 1. change your diet 2. get some exercise 3. do some aerobic exercise 4. eat health nutritional diet 5. meditate ???

How fucking rich would they be?

Nice pseudoscience

Now back to the discussion
 
I have GAD. Never been on meds, just did therapy in the first year and have dealt with it without much problems ever since.

Is that considered a mental illness? That shit happens to me all the time, I have a song playing through my mind right now. I never considered it a mental illness though.
