I like that outlook, I’m not gonna do anything fucked up I’m just a sad sack and joking about is an easy way for me to handle those feelings



Like I’m not literally living just for the static dress record or the new bond movie lol (but those are nice incentives)

I hear ya wildcard. Only staying alive for GTA 6 myself lol.



Really late to the convo and hopefully you’re doing better man, but I can 100% relate. I’ve always struggled with depression, alcoholism and drug addiction. Alcoholism and addiction for 32 years. I’m currently sober 8 months (longest since I was 10 years old, I’m 43 now). But depressed as fuck. I was self medicating. And without the medication…well, I have to learn to live without.



But I went off anti depressants about 6 months ago. Fine at first. Then a month or two later, depression starting kicking my ass. Starting having suicidal thoughts etc. Held out for a few months then finally just got back on Effexor a few weeks ago. And I’m starting to feel a little better.

In all honesty, my daughters keep me alive. My grandfather committed suicide, just found out my mom was put in the psych ward a week ago, so mental illness def runs in the family. Luckily, I only got depression and not schizophrenia.



But without pain, happiness means nothing. Life is peaks and valleys. It’s always darkest before the light. Always keep that in mind man. It’s the truth, and remembering it has gotten me through some shit.

This is mostly a place to discuss music and fuck around, laugh some, but I definitely think there’s space for serious conversations when we need to talk. Feel free to hit me up direct anytime man, I’ve gone through a lot and can definitely at least offer some relatable advice. I’m working in a treatment center now so it’s literally my job to talk to people through difficult shit.

I suffer with schizophrenia - they've tried nearly every anti-psychotic there is and believe I'm "treament-resistant". I've been sectioned a fair few times.

Yeah I was 5150’d once. No fun t’wat all.



Yeah but that’s a rough one man, sorry to hear. We’re pretty sure that’s what my mom has, but it’s really unusual because she didn’t start showing signs until her 40s, just gradually more severe. I thought it only manifested late teens/early 20s, but I talked to a psychiatrist at UCLA who said that’s not the case.



I was labeled with treatment resistant depression. I did TMS once (transcranial magnetic stimulation) once and it helped. But only for about two months. Such a time commitment too, you have to go to the clinic 5 days a week (20 mins a session) for 7 weeks.



Been on a bunch of antidepressants that did nothing, but combining Wellbutrin and Effexor seemed to help a little. Neither do much on their own for me though.
