Actually medicine does do shit regardless of your personal actions

they can treat tho

I didn't do "anything for myself" because there's absolutely nothing I could have done

and help balance

but he is the only one that can keep himself up

Honestly for me it was more of how I physically felt rather than a mentality

I felt sick everyday

the medicine puts the footholds in place but you gotta climb out for yourself

well not just physically felt but

yeah

use meds to help find a balance

Doctors hand out prescriptions for antidepressants though it's kind of retarded

they give them to people who don't need them

Me personally, I've tried medication and it either didn't do shit or made things worst. Obviously it helps some people but it should be used to balance you to a point where you can work on yourself and then quit the medication. Not to be forever dependant on it

i can't tell you how many times I've heard people say "oh i started taking antidepressants and i felt numb/emotionless"

like you didn't have depression in the first place retard

ehhh

they could have a time of doubt in there life

and they try to get help

and they help digs em deepe

I think it should be used to get you emotionally balanced enough to find a way to balance yourself and then quit the medication

That's not how it works though

In a person who has depression, their brain is chemically offset by default

it's not fluid emotions

@Wesleyy the problem is when you are on addiction meds, anti depressants, anti anxiety, all the emotion holes get clogged

Antidepressants are not "happy pills"

and you just lose alot of feeling

@Wesleyy I felt that numbness. I prefer feeling like absolute shit and then sometimes feeling good rather than not having any ups and downs

yeah they arent happy pills

You lose feeling when you are depressed

they clog up and block the sad

and then you clog up the anxiety

and then the impulsivity

and suddenly you are mindless

I feel like without the ups and downs I'm a zombie

and you feel shit cus you are mindless

so they give you more

and the cycle continues

I don't think you know how antidepressants work so

It's fucking shitty when you can't feel love for people you care about even if you stop hurting yourself

I can't feel love while on antidepressants but I couldn't feel it before either
