Anyone going through therapy right now, taking medication ?
Did your life get better?

[Anonymous No.50944523]

The only thing I have taken that has worked for mood is gabapentin which just makes you feel positive about everything for a while.

shrooms you absolute niggers
shrooms
get better forever or go schizo and melt your brain
it's the only way

[Anonymous No.50944579]

I might go into therapy. I’m currently withdrawing off of multiple drugs and the worst part is the existential dread.

[Anonymous No.50944600]

>>50944488
i did therapy, therapist was great but it didn't help me at all, actually it made me feel much worse cause i had to go in there and talk about my problems which we could not fix. At the end of the day it really came down to, do i take medication or not, and i didn't want to, so i never got completely better. It's ok though, i have my up days and my down days, you learn to live with it.

[Anonymous No.50944664]

>>50944488
Ok so I went to therapy since I couldn't control my anger so I started taking some SSRI and a medication for Bipolar Disorder and I'm doing a lot better... But what >>50944572 said is true, shrooms is an amazing way to treat mental problems and you are willing to face your own demons and start changing bad habits. It's amazing, I'm starting to get rid of the pills slowly but I'll keep taking shrooms every chance I have (max 1 time per week tho).

[Anonymous No.50944665]

>>50944488
I'm not a psych but you're probably depressed because your life isn't fulfilling everything your body/mind needs. Besides that depression can also just be the natural response to trauma and physical exhaustion. Maybe try to stop searching for the answer and try eliminating the suspects

>>50944572
>shrooms
sucks you're just scrambling your neurons hoping they end up better

[Anonymous No.50944711]

>>50944488
Depends what you got. I've tried a few things. On Lexapro at the moment and it's helped with shitty thoughts / anxiety for the most part.

[Anonymous No.50944721]

Therapy works, medicine doesn't. Just do things, get over your fears and mistakes.

I went through therapy, no medication. I also told family who were draining to deal with that they should fuck off, that probably helped too.
>Did your life get better?
Yes.
Nice doubles.

Wow if your ID ended in 666 I would immediately think you're a demoralization satanic bot.
And no, shrooms is a gift that God left us on earth and should be treated respectfully.

Have you tried them anon?

Sure, why not.

Not if you know what's good for you.

[Anonymous No.50944801]

Antidepressants will fuck you up. I've tried them all. Unless you don't mind being a emotionless zombie for the rest of your life. I've got a prescription for amphetamines 2 years ago and feel great. I got my motivation back, started working out and meditating

[Anonymous No.50944846]

If you've already done the obvious things like getting your diet and exercise dialed in, getting sunlight, etc - and your problem now is that some negative emotion pattern keeps cycling through your system and you don't know how to stop it, then I would recommend therapy.
I spent my early 30s making inner experience work the primary focus of my life. The method I used was basically EMDR therapy but without the eye movements. Best decision of my life. The personality that developed out of that process is a permanent source of joy in my life and in the lives of those around me. The benefits are too many to list.
I've read a ton of self-help and psychology books but the two that gave me the biggest bang for my buck were:
Getting Past Your Past by Francine Shapiro (doesn't talk about the eye movements, intended for average joes)
and
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy-Third Edition (*does* include the eye movements and is intended for clinicians).

Those are very practical books. Once I understood the process and I did it a few times I became hungry to identify any unprocessed event in my life which was still triggering negative emotion because I now had the tools to fully resolve them.

Did you do this work solo or with a therapist?

[Anonymous No.50944992]

>>50944907
I worked solo. Some people may need a therapist, especially if your trauma is very severe to the point where you may re-traumatize yourself and not be able to get out of the re-experiencing of the trauma. Like if a therapist is there and you start re-living the time you were raped then the therapist can help bring you back out of it, e.g. by having the two of you play catch with a pillow so you stay connected to the present.

[Anonymous No.50945003]

Has anyone tried schema therapy? I suffer mostly from emotional disregulation and depression/lethargy. I can't focus, I can't do even the simplest things besides rotting away in bed and it has been like this for years. I've been hospitalised numerous times and have taken lexapro, but I'm still at the same place, feeling even more disconnected to the world. I'm 30 now and very close to unironically ending it for fear of worse to come as I age without progression. I've never had any actual therapy that wasn't just asking how my week was. We're now looking for a long term clinical stay with actual therapy but I'm scared it won't work and I'll feel even worse having tried it. The loneliness hurts, even with friends or family when I occasionally see them. I don't feel there, I feel like life is passing by and I can only watch. I have no proactive gene in me and I'm wasting my time every day.
Sometimes I think about doing shrooms but the information is so conflicting. I've never been so scared of the world and my lack of progress, I really want to end it before I become even more of a loser

[Anonymous No.50945039]

>>50944488
My life got better taking SSRIs but I don’t want to take that shit anymore. Now on testosterone but it’s a setback thus far. Not sure when or if I’ll be back to I don’t give a fuck no anxiety chad mode again.

i would say i changed since discovered normies point of view on life

[Anonymous No.50945182]

Yes and yes. Don’t listen to these schizo fuckers. Mental illness doesn’t get better from taking walks, eating bone marrow, doing hallucinogens, reading Jordan Peterson, listening to some faggot’s podcast, or anything else the retards here suggest. How is it that if your liver or colon or skin can get fixed by a drug, but the brain? Nooo you gotta pray to Shiva and eat 20 cloves of garlic and hop on one foot to cure that.

>>50944488
> antidepressants
They are useful if you have actual clinical depression, shit saved me from an-heroing
> therapy
22 year old college grads getting paid 60k a year who are probably on antidepressants themselves will never solve your problems. Freudian psychology is a huge mistake
> oh, you are sad and lonely? Let’s talk about that time you got rejected by a girl in middleschool, sure that’s related! That will be 300 dollars plus tip

You are a normie, faggot. Only a literal brain dead npc can consume that degenerate shit packed in doses to burn a dopamine system

Is that dried or powder? I took one gram of powder once and shit was kicking, then I took 5g of dried shrooms and barely felt anything

Meds are bad. Diet and exercise are all that matter. Verification not required.

[Anonymous No.50945627]

>>50945550
whats the problem with being normie?
and i agree that i burned dopamine system, how do i ctrl+z it?
attention span became so shit, but its because of twitch and listening to music 24/7 aswell
are ADHD meds good in such situation?
or maybe smthng like dopamine detox,
not consuming anything?

Yep. Went from suicide attempt and unproductive to more or less ok and somewhat productive. Still deal with depression sometimes though. I'd highly recommend it works if you let it.

[Anonymous No.50948132]

Yes. Very bad depression half a decade ago, tried to kill self. Had a moment of sense and went to get help. The therapy worked (CBT) the medication (SSRI) didn't. Life slowly got better and I'm very happy now.

[Anonymous No.50948139]

>>50945003
Yeah, schema therapy did wonders for me where CBT did nothing. My issue was that I was extremely disconnected from people and the world in general because I basically couldn't feel any emotions or even have opinions of my own due to a strange upbringing where I felt compelled to become some sort of superhuman angelic being and barely had any sense of self. I found that for problems that you can't reason your way out of (an excess of reason in my case), just jumping headfirst into wacky stuff that might seem silly may be the answer.

ya they scramble your neurons by shutting down the information processing part of your brain which lets everything run haywire. Overrated not some miracle drug, half of shroom advocates literally seem like braindead NPCs

>>50944488
I see a counselor to help process emotion and it's helped me quite a bit. A lot of guys including me, have trouble letting go of anger and resentment, but being able to has made life much easier.
