How to cope as a mentalcel

[Absurdist]

how tf do i cope with this shit. everytime i think ive gotten over it or life has started to look up, it comes back.

ive had clinical depression since i was 10 years old and it just gets worse every year.

SSRIs are so fucking shit and therapy is genuinely the most useless thing for me on the planet.

Ive been suicidal for the past month and its not getting better.

Honestly, I don't know in this case.
But you can save yourself by comparing yourself to others.
You had stories of girls giving themselves to you, while some here are ready to sell their souls for it

the sides are so shit and they make you numb.

Yeah I had bad sides too but for ocd it is supposed to go max dose and i at only 100mg zoloft had a completely numb dick that didnt respond to sex so i dropped it. I heard bupropion and other shit helps but i doubt its gonna help a numb dick, its just like on molly when your dick doesnt work. Maybe try a maoi if there is one where yu live? In balkanstan unfortunately we dont have it

its not even about that anymore. i just cant stand life. nothing makes me happy. im always either numb, angry, or about to cry.

nothing brings me joy not even jerking off. its supposed to be one of the easiest copes.

No its not
I'm not saying it's about girls now, but I'm saying that you can use these comparisons to prove to yourself that your situation is not that bad.
If it's purely depression, it's better to work on your hormonal levels

ive considered it. but i dont want to end up like those dudes on the street. a total societal reject.

no idea how this is supposed to help. "just compare yourself to an indian in the slums of mumbai"

and "hormonal levels"???? whats that even supposed to mean. my shit is genetic.

drug =
A substance used in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of a disease or as a component of a medication.
Such a substance as recognized or defined by the US Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
A chemical substance, such as a narcotic or hallucinogen, that affects the central nervous system, causing changes in behavior and often addiction.

dont listen to normies who tell you "taking something everyday isnt good!!!!!!"

Your social skills are literally better than 80% of the forum btw.

Hormonal levels - is about oxytocin, for example. I know that antidepressants will raise it, but they will kill the test. So before that, try to fix it in a different way.

maybe.

reminds me of a story. when my uncle was young he somehow joined the army while manic and got kicked off.

The army gives a purpose and daily stuff to do so you forget your sadness

Not even just a comparison, but an awareness of the situation.

And the main thing is the hormonal level, because your whole mood depends on it. The reason why you are weak from antidepressants is also hidden in their action

My friend has OCD, Confirmed by a psychiatrist. He really had serious problems with this, he already wanted to take antidepressants. But what helped him was a general change in his daily routine, a change in his diet, a lot of activities and sports+ some vitamins. And therapy, of course , which also helped

Obviously I am aware that in your situation basic shit could be useless, but you should try this. If you will feel better even by 10%,that means problem is curable without anything serious like antidepressants

Otherwise,you should think about meds

Also, maybe I said something harsh about the comparison, it's not clear to you. But it means showing that you have good prospects in this society. And I know this because I read your stories.

Well yeah this is basically useless. I hit gym a few times a week. Eat a healthy diet and avoid slop. And ofc i socialize and whatever.

So yeah i really dont know.

What about therapy?

Bro, try something simple like fishing, it might seem silly but sometimes it really helps

 

[Absurdist]

What about therapy?

I've done it. It really doesn't help. It also never feels truly real cause its obv a person doing their job, so they could care less.

The most that has honestly helped has been close relationships. Whether it be thru a homie or an actual gf.

Which is why I struggle to get over my ex gf cause she provided a light to my life.

maybe its the oxytocin...

True, I like going on walks and reading. They help disconnect.

same with playing instruments.

It is
Even antidepressants affect this, it's just that after them there may be other problems
Oxytocin is also about communication with friends and family, try to emphasize that. If it gets that bad, then antidepressants.


(IMO)

Well bro, turn it into something even funnier, like hunting, fishing, conquering mountains.
try making some song and just have fun

Yeah. Although with family it just doesnt hit the same. I don't feel that boost.

 

[sasha108]

Of course you don't. Girlfriend is probably the highest you can get(never experienced tbh )

For women,the highest is feeding baby with her milk. They are using it in childbirth as well

 

[sasha108]

Yeah. Although with family it just doesnt hit the same. I don't feel that boost.

But anyway, it can help you reach normal level, after that you will figure something out

I think so. When i was with her It was like a constant hit of dopamine. It didn't even have to be anything sexual. She could just talk to me or hug me and it all felt brighter. (as corny as it sounds)

But anyway, it can help you reach normal level, after that you will figure something out

Alr thanks for the help doe. U a real one frfr.

As someone who struggles with clinical depression the only that makes me feel slight gratification is self improvement. Even then it’s temporary but still it’s better than constant suffering

self improvement is masturbation.

I still do it though.
