It took me several years of my life and about 5 attempts to get off antidepressants for good and it was about the hardest thing I've ever done.
almost exact same thing happened to me, man. very weird
Benjamin Wright
Maybe they just didn't work.
Bentley Nguyen
Don't ever take benzos either. They're literally Satan to come off of
Zachary Torres
same boat here. though for me the anti depressants weren't nearly as bad as the benzos I was prescribed, in ridiculous doses, for two years. Coming off of those put me in the ER more than once. total poison.
Jeremiah Rogers
I hope you're doing better now, Straya user. I've been prescribed antidepressants in the past as well, and I'm fairly convinced now that they're a scam. Or maybe they only work on NPCs.
Joseph Bell
This, except I prescribed myself alcohol. On the plus side I only became half retarded.
Lucas Collins
>what is gym and lifting go and lift, boys lifting is the best antidepressant
I disagree. They worked for me. I used to be suffering all the time and now my anxiety is pretty much managed.
Aiden Peterson
You just have very poor impulse control, there is absolutely no excuse for depression and if you are stupid enough to not only take drugs but get addicted to them at that, well... Natural selection I guess.
I've been on ADs for .... wayy too long. Still on Wellbutrin. Effexor/Paxil is the devil to get off of after you've been taking it a long time. You get brain zaps and moodiness. Took me 5 years of hellish tapering, off and on.
Jaxon Smith
it's pretty amazing how drastic the effect of nature is. I just went for a bike ride up to the hills into a valley and I was immediately struck with a powerful wave of refreshment coursing through my body. you don't realise how badly urban environments are for mental health until you leave them
Liam Lee
Nah I still feel like shit im just stronger and look better.
Jason Davis
>absolutely no excuse for depression >absolutely no excuse for a chronic disease you can be born with is this b8?
xanax is the best thing i have ever done to help with my depression. i used to take like 5 pills per day though
Zachary Morales
Youre built too low boy the fast ones go right over your head
Logan Rogers
You gotta do cardio and other kinds of fitness too. Lifting by itself is a depressing meme. All round fitness is the key.
Grayson Anderson
how can you tell a baby's depressed?
Thomas Ward
It took me 2 years to figure out that my infertility was caused by antidepressants. Just say no, kids.
Connor Perez
add 8 to 8.. Think on it a little. Then fuck off and play fortnite
Jackson James
Brain zaps?
Angel King
>chronic disease Your bored, that's it. Just bored... I was suicidal for four years, but never truly depressed despite being as isolated as possible. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, go outside, get some air, splash some water in your face, look in the bathroom mirror and tell yourself that you are a man and you will take whatever this shitty world has to throw at you to achieve a life well lived or die trying.
Depression exists for a reason. It means you need to evaluate or fuck up of a life and improve it. Also, don't fall for the "happiness" meme we are sold. Happiness is a false god. You may experience moments of joy in life. Your focus in life shouldn't be obtaining happiness, though many things have this effect like having kids and starting a family ect. Struggle builds character, so does suffering. Don't be a faggot and expect unicorns flowers and rainbows once you get out in the real world.
I found that magnesium supplements helped tremendously with my brain zaps.
Evan Brown
Dropping acid with a close friend and just having a walk outside and having a deep conversation about shit helped both of us way more than (((antidepressants))) ever could
Ayden Bennett
Can I fake a depression to get neetbux and sell the drugs to niggers?
Luke Russell
What I mean is that it's genetic. Not that the person is depressed as a baby. A certain minimum level of mental cognizance is necessary for depression to manifest symptoms.
Thomas Robinson
Yep. Literally go out into the woods, pick a hill or mountain, and conquer it.
I think a lot of it is the exploring element too. I get that wave mostly when I'm in an area I think I know but don't really and get semi-lost etc.
Joseph Ramirez
Just keep in mind that they can cause fertility issues, which are reversible
Ryder Allen
I don't think you understand. It's not about boredom. You sound like a boomer with your platitudes, lol. Why were you suicidal if you weren't depressed?
Julian Rodriguez
In the real world you have to fake being a happy sociable team player at a job to keep it. That's where anti depressants come into play. It's either meds or permanent NEETdom.
Kevin Garcia
What does antidepressant withdrawl feel like?
Jordan Moore
I'm bipolar. They gave me antidepressants and I started believing everyone was gay and Shrek was God. Now I take two different medicines and they tell me if I stop I might go insane again but first I'd probably just kill myself. I probably couldn't buy a gun because of my medical record.
Ayden Harris
If you seriously take meds because you need shekels, get a job/skill/trade that doesn't require much social interaction. That's what I've done my whole life.
Brody Watson
How old are you?
Kayden Powell
Otherwise.
Anti depressants are only for the short term. Use the time they give you to take a breather, NOT MAKE THINGS WORSE, and then sort through your emotions (you'd be surprised how many cunts just experience emotion and don't try to find the source, or just assume the source is the most immediate issue,) and work on some coping methods. Once you're ready, (or at least not as shitfucked) ween off them and start using those coping skills you been brushing up on and you will get better.
Support networks help, don't cut yourself off even if you're not being touchy feely. if it gets too intense, take a breather, any distrtact is good, no matter how frowned upon.. even if it's the weather or your favorite hobbies (just try to avoid things that damage you as they distract: alcohol and drugs mainly, going off at people or yourself, self harm) But if it gets too bad, i suppose anything is better than offing yourself. Just remember if you do make things worse, it's not the end of the world, you can still fix it. It might take a bit longer, but you can fix it.
Just remember to be patient. Even if shit doesn't feel like it's working, it is. Just gotta be patient.. and you're not betraying your feelings if something makes you happy when you think you should be sad. So if a stupid cat video gets a smile out of you when you feel like rat shit, that's okay.
Benjamin Wilson
I'm 21. High school was pretty much hell for me years ago for a number of reasons I won't get into here but hey, I'm still alive. My problem was that I blamed myself for many things that were out of my control and that led to me having an extremely low sense of self worth among other things. I always kept going on for one reason or another though. I never gained weight, stopped showering, or lack basic hygiene in general though. If anything feeling mediocre all the time just made me push myself too hard to make up for the things I perceived that I lacked at that time.
oi, don't do it man. This is something they have to understand for themselves before it works. Even if the answer seems simple now you're past your dark stage.
Elijah Ramirez
Huh? Explain it to me like I'm five, quoting from OP
Josiah Lee
Why add 8 to 8? What are you referring to in OP? He just said 8 years ago
Tyler King
He's implying op is a 16 y.o. twat as he feels only a 16 y.o. would post an OP like that
Kayden Scott
Are you seriously this stupid?
Landon Cook
it's not what op said. the one taking the piss is the one implying he's underage, probably based on the subject.
Grayson Clark
No, I'm that stupid for wasting the time explaining it.
Autism kills.
William Powell
Ignoring the problems by using pills to numb those thoughts doesnt get rid of them. Anti depressants are to make you a passive obedient citizen slave. Many of the problems that cause depression is the immoral society we live in. The elites cant have people realizing this.
Cooper Wilson
Everyone go through this check list before taking meds. If you don't address the issues in your life and just chomp up these pills and fuck your brain up, sorry dude... you're digging your own grave.
>eat healthy real foods >workout, get up get moving >be sure to socialize, even a bit >set achievable goals and pursue them >manage your time (being "bored" shouldn't be possible in your day) >purge all bs like drugs and alcohol, or other vices like porn and sex >consider adding a metaphysical element to your life. For me that is Eastern Orthodoxy.
I'm a fucking 33 yo boomer that deals with serious health issues on top of having a history of depression. I can barely workout now. But I do what I can because something is better than nothing. You better have a damn good excuse to be a lazy nigger.
Medication saved my life from being a loser who felt no joy in life and too dumb to succeed to someone who can make friends pass school and have a future.
Ofc retards here will take pol seriously.
Chase Sullivan
>be surrounded by the majesty of nature in Utah >still feel like shit
That's kind of a weird insult that doesn't fit the post anyway, because the point is OP sort of returned to a juvenile state. OP is acknowledging that, so he doesn't seem childish at all.
Chase White
HAHAHA
Hudson Martin
Looks like the pills made you into a good tax paying non creative non threatening slave like theyre meant
Dominic Wright

Ayden Long
Well said. I always say that struggles are lessons learnt and everything that goes right becomes a habit.
Jordan Williams
I got put on antidepressants at a pretty young age because I was having behavioral issues in school. I think they really fucked me up longterm. I went from a high energy kid to a guy who barely had the energy to do anything. And now if I try going off of them I feel much worse.
Aiden Collins
Big pharma shilling.
Asher Stewart
Beach is for plebs. Statue of liberty is man made. Desert is for plebs. No wonder he hated it.

Physical intimacy is fine as long as you're responsible about it, whats your beef with it anyway? >consider adding a metaphysical element to your life. For me that is Eastern Orthodoxy Oh i see, you're retarded. Fuck off with your fairy tale shit. You probably attribute all the positivity from the first part of your post to the last.
Fucking nutcase

You're just saying that cause there's not a beer in front of you. Calm your shit and have a stubby.
Henry Gray
Welbutrin is the only thing that ever worked for me. I don't know why SSRIs are so prescribed.
I HAVE SEEN THE SUN - HUCK FINN HAD THE FUN - I AM HIT BB GUN - GO DOGS GO

Dylan Rivera
This canned response actually works with any problem. How often do you use it?
John Cook
At the moment, hot as shit. Good beer weather. Could hit the beach. Everyone doing christmas shit.
Julian Price
When you stop taking antidepressants you get this weird dizzy spell that feels like an electric shock or zap inside your head. I recall one poster calling it the "6 million dollar man" effect, which was the best description of it I've ever heard.
Actually tradesmen are clingy socialites despite how autistic they are. I never met anyone so starved for attention then a tradesmen.
Xavier Cook
Not even close to the same thing knob head. Beer will calm your shit as obviously there is tension in the rectum. Not just telling you to cheer up emo kid.
I'm telling you to have a beer, emo kid.
Wyatt Bailey
nice political thread bro
Parker Gomez
Breddy good man
Parker Cruz
I don't mean some hipster who collects rustic drift wood and sells shitty items on etsy.
Adam Brown
>sell the drugs to niggers? They don't want antidepressants, there's no resale value.
Parker Butler
I just spouted off the first vices that came to mind. I don't have beef with sex. I've been in a few seriously relationships and fucked a handful of whores inbetween. Now I don't do that anymore for various reasons, it's just not worth all the BS. >Fuck off with your fairy tale shit. ok. have fun laying around being a depressed faggot while watching the next cool episode of black science guy.
Josiah Reyes
Most of them are all like that and a lot of them aren't even from the United States.
Camden Jackson
After about day 3 of quitting you get the brain zaps and a general feeling of tiredness and soreness. This lasts for 1 to 2 weeks. Then you reach the mood swings stage. Spontaneous crying, feelings of regret and worthlessness, etc. After this stage you just feel generally depressed, angry and shitty for about 3 months.
Michael Howard
>I don't have beef with sex. Then why say it, faggot. Get your story straight. >ok. have fun laying around being a depressed faggot while watching the next cool episode of black science guy. Cause that's all people who don't subscribe to retarded middle ages faggotry can do with their lives... wow... Shit, if that's the best strawman you guys have, no wonder you have to brainwash kids to get members. fucking lol
Noah Price
It's more being constantly surrounded by willfully ignorant shit heads and oblivious adult children.
Robert Jackson
True story--I quit double highest recommended dose of venlafaxine (effexor) in one week.
I wanted to kill myself for months. The zaps stopped about a year later. Still get them rarely.
William Nelson
My life is a copy of yours btw. very similar facts
Luis Bailey
If you’re taking antidepressants you should unironically fucking kill yourself asap
Andrew Baker
fucking ween yourself off them faggots. Jesus christ, they've altered your brain chemistry ffs. you can't just expect your brain to react well to a immediate and fairly drastic change
Oliver Lopez
Not only did I quit those, but I ironically quit multiple other prescription drugs at the same time.
I saw it as a test
John Gutierrez
Fucking niggers.
Wyatt Collins
This is almost as bad as the guy in another post, who just claimed every dollar is backed by a tiny sliver of microgold
Levi Garcia
*unironically
Also, I quit booze right after after being an extremely heavy drinker for years. Then I quit tobacco.
Exercise, nutrition, and sleep are the key to a happy life.
melbournes cold. Yesterday I saw a 28 year old man in suspender-like clothing wearing a tiny badge on his breast that said fem-in-ism. Two men with pink hair on the train acting really happy. A street vendor sold cherries. My housemate thinks he can singlehandedly save the planet by buying organic toilet paper. I ate amazing gelato at a place called Zero Gradi. I encountered more Chinese than in Hong Kong.
ditto bro. laughing with m bros for 8hrs reminded not to take people or life serious and to get out there
Juan Sanchez
That sounds pretty pozzed, man.
Caleb Mitchell
“Chronic depression” is a keyword for “dickless and willess subhumanoid” only cure is to MAN UP or rope yourself. Same applies to any (((mental))) illness.
