being introverted can be a gift and a curse.

I do not want to use antidepressants (i am not sure if they even prescribe them to people my age) they can really fukk with you

i've noticed with drugs like diphenhydramine help my anxiety for a short period of time
How old are you?

But yeah, they can really fukk with you, it's true.

You probably like benadryl because it has sedating properties.

I am 16, my mother has been on antidepressants for as long as I can remember and a lot of times she has a zombie like state.

Kind of like you just feel alright all the time never real sad or happy just alright

i enjoy floating in my own mind. yet interacting with people is the most stressful shyt ever. public conversation is draining. i prefer being solo most of the time, but its like envy the people that can easily make small talk, even though i lack that skill and hate to waste words with no thought behind them. i'm not good with conversation unless its about something i know. then i go off with that topic and wont stop for days. most of these females out here are instant extroverts that are all over the place and will freak out if they're in the house for at least a day. yet i could chill at home and have actual fun. i feel like an old man compared to women my age .:yeshrug:

Yeah, I've always had problems with depression. They had me on prozac when I was your age. It was a disaster. I started cutting myself and shyt out of the blue. I stopped once I got off prozac. Paxil put me in a crazy manic state, and wellbutrin made me absolutely crazy. Antidepressants don't really work with me, I gotta take APs instead for my condition.

16 is so young though. You're right to stay away from the hardcore psychotropics until your brain is fully developed.

Best of luck :salute:

For my introvert brehs out there

513MliqYo9L.jpg


This book is solid gold and contains alot of useful info. Get ya read on.

“When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures bristling with prejudice and motivated by pride and vanity.”

“Talk to someone about themselves and they'll listen for hours.”

“Everybody in the world is seeking happiness—and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn't depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions.”

“All men have fears, but the brave put down their fears and go forward, sometimes to death, but always to victory.”

“If some people are so hungry for a feeling of importance that they actually go insane to get it, imagine what miracle you and I can achieve by giving people honest appreciation this side of insanity.”

Some quotes that are found in the book

I can't do any drugs or alcohol because of some meds I'm on. I'm stuck being sober forever. :mjcry:

I was a big pothead back in the day. Too much really (like smoking 8 times a day). I was a better person then though. Goddamn medical illnesses fukking my shyt up. Now I take all these drugs that are probably gonna kill me, just to be normal, and it's just making me blah instead, if you know what I mean. I just exist half the time :mjcry:

I feel you man, I had to take Prozac as a kid. shyt is fukked up man, after a little while I was like hell no I'm not doing this anymore. Got off that real quick and refused to ever take anything like that again. Makes you feel like a zombie and just made it worse.

Smoke a bowl >>>>>>>>>> prescription drugs

i have been taking these vitamins like SAMe or some shyt lots of people have said it helped their depression without all the bad side affects. I have been using it for the anxiety and it helps a little bit i think maybe some of you might be interested in trying it

Read this entire thread in complete and utter awe. Things that I think of pretty much think of all the time but never tell anyone else out of fear/shame have all been said. :wow:

My social anxiety & self-consciousness was so bad at one point that it even affected the way I walked in public, like every step I took was a struggle due to about a million thoughts crossing my head of how I thought other people perceived it. I would avoid people I noticed in public..

Honestly, if it wasn't for my good looks I would probably still be a virgin. Thankfully, losing my virginity (at 17), an unbelievable psychiatrist and my extroverted older brother who's only about a year older both gradually helped me in getting over my social anxiety.

The greatest lie every told is that it's a "man's World". Nah. It's definitely an extroverts.
