theabortionatorIt's not all about you my dude. Peoples friends, family, even pastors have gotten them to go off meds.
Dude it's great if you've turned around and are doing well, it really is, I get resenting the doctor/pharmies side of it, I get it, but come on man. Some people this stuff really helps. Life changing help. Allowing people to live normal lives instead of just spiralling out of control.
Hell I had contempt for everything because of this (i don't have words to describe her) lady that I saw in high school that tried to get me locked up. I was so hurt and pissed that I opened up and she just fucked me over. Only in the last few years have I been open to trying again. I haven't been on any meds since high school partly because I didn't want to take them, didn't trust anyone, and more recently havent had health insurance for 5 years.
My diets not always great, it's massively improved but I exercise regularly. Even in the times where my diet was on point and exercising a bunch, I felt way better but that didn't mean that I wasn't still fucked. And one moment away from spiraling into gnarly shit.
Idk. Like I said multiple times, it's awesome that things have worked for you, but you aren't everyone. These drugs may be overprescribed, but they absolutely can and do help people and they have saved lives.
1NF1N1T3Yeah, I would agree with you here. My point is really, to put it less aggressively, is that at some point you have to take control of your life regardless of wether or not you’re on medication.
1NF1N1T3I will get downvoted for this, but I think you’re a pussy if you need these things.
It’s stupid how much a good diet, regular exercise and a supportive social environment improve your mental health.
Ive always gone on with the mindset of picking my balls up no matter how bad things get
chef_boyardeeYou don't know what you're talking about here. Neither do I really, but I'm not going to tell someone with serious clinical depression to man up. That's just idiotic. I'm glad that picking your balls up worked for you, but that's terrible advice for a lot of people.
I think that meds are not something to take lightly, and things like antidepressants are often over-prescribed. People should consider having good diet and exercising like you said, and that may be enough for some people who are going through a rough time, but that is not going to cure someone with clinical depression or schizophrenia.
Trumpkin2020Ehhh literally all mental illnesses lol.
Also if you really wanna generalize chemical imbalances (too much or too little), then let's include every hormonal disease out there too which are tons of diseases.
So safe to say yeah. If you're curious, just Google "(any generic condition ur interested in) pathophysiology"

kingsizexxjust take a smoke bruh :j it always works
theabortionatorA friend of mine smoked weed and it triggered some shit and he spent some time in the hospital after. Def not for everyone, especially in regards to mental health issues.
DolanReloadedIts crazy to think how your friend flipped just from smoking weed. I feel like if a person like that took acid they would kill themselves.
one of my hs and college classmates wrote an op ed for time magazine and some big newspapers about how he quit cigarettes with the help of lsd; he was portraying lsd as some sort of cure all that everybody should try bc its harmless. I kind of tore him a new asshole on facebook bc many people who take lsd have severe mental breakdowns and the trip sends many who are susceptible to mental issues into full blown scizophrenia.
The trick is to know thyself, as they say.
if you dont think your mind is the most stable dependable thing on earth then you should be very cautious about tripping something that, unlike weed, you might not be able to escape for 24 hrs or longer.
1NF1N1T3Unless you’re dealing with extreme cases of mental Illness and thought disorders (like schizophrenia) you can master your own thought patterns and get better without external help.
The best person to help yourself is yourself. You know what’s best to do. Drugs to help you are the easy way out and perhaps that’s part of the problem, people who use and want to use prescription drugs have a skewed perception on reality. In the sense that they are shy of hard work and expect life to be easy. The truth is it’s not, but as I’ve said you’ve got to pick your balls up and send it.

RparrI was/still am a pothead for 10 years, but I finally understand people like this now.
After a very recent, extremely traumatic event in my life, I can hardly even smoke weed without having insane panic attacks. Even Indica strains. I already know I would lose my shit on psychedelics now. It might be years before I can trip in peace again

r00kieAnd we wonder why men have such high suicide rates.
weastcoastTitle. always wondered if they were for better or for worse.
theabortionatorYeah he had some genetic issues already like his dad but yeah it was wild. He was alright while up my way but when he went back home a couple days later it went south.
Maybe it just led him to question reality and it just went full on. Idk. I've been around a lot of people, a lot of drugs, and a lot of people on a lot of drugs, first time I encountered anything like that so rare enough. But even normal people can have some pretty bad anxiety attacks smoking or especially eating weed.
Psychedelics can def be a great tool but can also fuck people. I've always been pretty cautious. Well in general, def have gptten sendy. Idk I have friends that will eat a strip or more at once and be fine. And do it regularly. I never got that rowdy, but I feel like if I did I wouldn't come back.
It's a weird one. They can do a lot of good, but can also fuck you up. and some well meaning people that get to sendy or have shitty brains can end up toast.
I like low level psilocybin trips and micro dosing. I haven't eaten acid in 10 years and probably never will again. Nothing wrong with it, but I was slowing my roll anyway when I had a run in with some weird shit that sent me off a little bit. Realized for me it wasn't worth it. On rare occasions I'll dabble in some deemsters but even then, usually not trying to get too crazy. Although sometimes it happens. I enjoy mushrooms more than weed a lot of the time honestly. Or a little bit of both. I don't like to smoke too much weed. I know the level I want and roughly what I need for that based on my tolerance and I try to stay there. Not like when I was younger where I'd smoke just to smoke with friends and get way too fucking high.
DolansLebensraumBut yeah ssris are ok.

weastcoastPeople with depression aren’t weak. You know why? Cause they’re still alive and fighting a battle everyday. The battle to stay alive.
MiIfHunterWe are dying to live.
dolanslebensraumYou arent. You are kicking back in your lawyers office charging 2000$ an hour to clients while the homebuilders building your whole house (whos spatial abilities are a much rarer find in the human race than your dime a dozen ubiquitous verbal iq advantage that you and your lawyer friends have) earn 20 bucks an hour busting their asses 10 hrs a day.
but you and your lawyer friends (do i need to even say the religion?) vote democratic because democrats push for more laws and more regulation and an even more complicated legal system. Its like how a cancer in the body recruits its own blood supply so it can grow larger.
if the legal system in the US was drastically simplified to be like the legal system in many european countries, 90% of US lawyers would have to get another job. Or in other words, get a job that actually ADDS VALUE to society.
Nice homes make people happy. Therefore ppl who build nice homes are adding value to society.
Having your loved ones not die also makes you happy. Therefore doctors who save lives add value to society.
Driving a porsche 911 turbo fast makes people happy. Therefore engineers add value to society.
But lawyers? What do lawyers produce that benefits society? 3000 page legal documents? Stealing money from a divorced husband to give to the wife? Haha.
youre worthless milfy
MiIfHunterXanax works amazing, Valium is great, clonidine is excellent as well. Clonazepam is good stuff too.
prozac and any of those ssris don’t do jack shot for anxiety depression or panic disorder
LonelyWhat's your opinion on tort law dolan
LonelyWhat's your opinion on tort law dolan
r00kieGive him a minute, he's gotta go google what tort law is.
dolanslebensraumCant you guess?
Its basically an added cost of business in america that doesnt exist in europe.
like yeah sometimes companies do shady shit and should be punished financially. But most of the tort cases in the US are equivalent to the idiot suing mcdolans because the coffee cup didnt say “CAUTION YOU FUCKING RETARD, THIS COFFEE IS HOT AND YOU SHOULDNT POUR IT ON YOURSELF”
ive been to a public pool in switzerland that had no lifeguard and a 10 meter (full 33 foot) high dive (like they have in olympic diving) and we were having so much fun jumping off at the same time, trying to push eachother off. It was awesome. Try finding that in america. “NOPE!! WE GOT LAWYERS HERE!! My local aquatic center didnt let anybody even use the fucking 10 meter diving platform.
And the golden rule of people who ARENT subhuman is the following:
“if you dont do anything idiotic, then nothing bad will happen”
In the pool in switzerland, we werent being idiots. We WERE NOT jumping on top of eachother or landing on eachother. We werent being reckless. We were being smart but letting ourselves have fun.
if you go back and read the threads on the RCR resorts lawyer insurrection, pretty much everybody was calling for the idiot who paralyzed himself and the blood sucking lawyers to be fucking murdered, and i kind of agreed with that sentiment.
LonelyHave you actually read the hot coffee case? You clearly haven't.
Not surprised that Dolan would take the side of mega-corporations over the working man.
Frivolous lawsuits suck. The vast majority of frivolous lawsuits, like all of trumps voting fraud ones, get thrown out.
dolanslebensraumDude whether or not most bs lawsuits get thrown out, you should know that something like 95% of bs lawsuits that DONT get thrown out in america WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN THROWN OUT in europe. Thats not even considering that europe has a loser pays system unlike in america In america you can claim some rich person grabbed your disgusting sagging tits, and if in the end it turns out to be a lie, the plaintiff (you) just go home with no punishment or consequences while the rich person has to eat the bill for millions$ in lawyer costs. In europe the saggy tits bitch would have to pay for the rich persons legal costs. This is a cataclysmically huge deterrent of bullshit lawsuits that doesnt exist in america. One of the reasons i rep germany so hard is because of bullshit “america knows best” shit like this in our legal system.
If you think a loser pays court system is not fair then you are completely of subhuman intellect.
LonelySorta like all those daddy trump lawsuits?
Dolan sounds more like a liberal commie everyday
dolanslebensraumDo you know how money was wasted by the government pursuing the russia collusion case? Probably billions.

LonelyOh, wait, sorry, I forgot. That investigation actually led to quite a few traitors going to prison. Unlike the voting fraud cases. Which turned up nothing, except that the guy pushing those cases was actually committing the crime. Woopsie. Go home commie. If you love russian commie shit so much you can move there any time you please. I'm tired of paying your unemployment checks out of my taxes as an engineer

weastcoastUpdate
they did all winter
but now that ski season is over and lots of female issues have arisen im back to square one. Can’t decide if other factors are silencing the effects of the drug, I’m developing a tolerance to my dosage, or a little bit of both.
highly reccomend, they helped big time for the time being.
little1337I take Abilify and it works well for me. I get the whole argument about how they numb you out in a way, but I've felt what it's like to rawdog reality and quite frankly, I'm not a fan.
