Mental Health General

Anyone have any solution or herbal remedies to depression? I excercise everyday, read, have a decent sized friend group. However, I am neeting over the summer, which may be the reason i have been having spells. Id like to get some tips on how others beat their depression and anxiety.

Hell yeah I got a herbal remedy for depression if you catch my drift

microdose shrooms and meditate to kill ur depression

Sunlight and exercise and a good sleep schedule tend to obliterate depression unless there is a serious genetic condition behind it.

I'm in pretty much the same boat user, but for me its less general depression (though at times I do feel useless for not having a job, even if its just until I start up tutoring again in the fall) and more weird psuedo-panic attacks I get where I feel like I'm gonna cry for no real reason.
Never happened until this Spring where it did in two seperate meetings with college faculty, then it hit real bad last week while I was standing in line at fucking chick fil a.
Anyone ever had something like this? I'm worried I'm gonna break down once I find a job or while I'm at a party.

I think i have some severe depression/bipolar problem that is going untreated. I got drunk a few days ago and had an absolute blast. Its like the moment I drop a few of my inhibitions, i can enjoy the moment, be silly, laugh at things. But sober, i'm just tired all the time. I rarely get drunk too, and im not interested in becoming an alcoholic.
fuck.

I have a history of mental disorders. I assume many drugs, such as shrooms, wouldnt be the best for me psychologially. Even without shrooms i will meditate. Thanks.

Op here. Not to be a "pussy" but i very much get these spontaneous outbursts of emotion that you refer to. I have had to go to my car and cry my eyes out on ocassion after a few classes. This is almost nonexistent during the summer when i dont have any reason to be in public.

stop worrying

I would avoid the booze and get high on excercise.

Very difficult. I try my best but I believe i have inherited severe worry and rummination from my mother. One can make an argument that mental illness can be forgotten overtime but at the moment it feels like it is trailing me.

Damn that's worse than me but sounds similar.
One I had last week came in the middle of me teaching a piano lesson and I had to go to the bathroom for a breather, I felt really embarrased about it.
Weird thing is this never happened before, and I just took a public speaking course last semester so if anything I shouldn't be dealing with this sort of thing now.
If any anons itt know whats up please guide me, I hate ever feeling like shit. It doesn't vibe with my normal dumbfuck personality.

Look it up

start seeing a therapist; if you don’t like them, find another and then another.
It’s not about mining for some hidden link in your brain, very much more you getting to listen to yourself speak out loud - and in that you start to realize how stupid the shit you’re thinking is

It's not hard once you know you can do it.
Oh, and stop reading the western canon. You have no use of it. Your reading should be foremost dedicated to improving yourself. It must serve a purpose beyond being able to say "I read the entire western canon". Start reading books about that which worry you. Most if not all anxiety comes from uncertainty.

Do fish oils actually help you mentally or is it bullshit?

Not him but microdosing is sub-perceptual levels, at least anecdotally it did a lot for me

I think i am going to try to write things down and critique my thinking that way. I prefer not to go to a therapist.

I very much like this advice. However, i am not trying to read the western cannon to gloat about it. I appreciate reflecting on the intricacies of character, plot, setting, philosophical elements, and dialogue, which do help me with my mental health in small ways. I will try to read more about things that challenge my thinking. Thanks user.

Boredom is not depression. Keep bussy, work, train, eat

I am never bored.

There is no "fix" for depression. Just accept life as it is. Take the stoicism pill. That is the only relief you can obtain unless you choose to take drugs which will fuck you up permanently.

Then you dont have time to be depressed if that is true

I already refused big pharma. Guess stoicism is my route. Thanks an.

Its probably just too much time alone.

Untrue thinking in my opinion. Many people publicly mask their feelings even though they are busy.
