Weed, real shyt

there aren't any...

A lot of people are depressed for "no reason"...

This is a chemical depression, basically your brain fukking sucks...

The way to make you have a normal mood...is to chemically supplement the chemicals that would naturally regulate your mood...

Working out and all that shyt is whatever...

At the end of the day...if you not doing shrooms, weed, acid, special K or molly at therapeutic doses...you ain't helping yourself...

I stopped taking my antidepressants MONTHS ago & it was highly recommended that I stay on them but I feel that whole "chemical imbalance" shyt is just that- shyt. All it does is put you to sleep as if when you wake up, all the shyt that's going on in your head that made you depressed in the first place ain't gonna be there waiting for you.

I was always an active reader, I love books. I've just indulge in them even more. I picked up on listening to classical music too; it's something about a song not having any vocalized lyrics and just hearing the piano or clarinet or violin play just brings a soothing feeling. Doing both at the same time is truly heaven.

I believe in God, Jesus, etc.
I don't see how that makes one happy, You still gotta live life.

One day youlll understand

Depends on the cause and severity
If its mild a healthy lifestyle, diet and exercise and taking supplements can help.
If it's severe and u got a true chemical imbalance then you need to get on medicine no self medicating is gonna fix that

getting your shyt together

 

[BlaKcMoney]

Success. Real talk.

When you succeed at something, as long as it is something you care about, you get a high from that. Small success, small high. Big success, big high

I'm chasing that feeling every day

Edit: Also finding meaning in your life is better long term

"The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul" Proverbs 13:19

p*ssy, weed, and $$$$$$


If one or all of those don't make you happy, then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe be gay?

dikk been dry for a minute, I can't smoke that often and my money aint long

If you can change majors or classes, now would be the time to reexamine stuff. The farther you go in life, the harder it is to switch up.

Just make sure you listen to yourself, for what you want to do. Can't tell you how many times folks said "Your pretty good with cars!" "You have a future in this field."

But I knew I didn't give a damn about it anymore. Went from straight As to failing a class in two months. Nothing wrong with taking some time to figure out the next step.

Spend the time now to find what you want. Or spend the time and (more) money to figure it out later.

Honestly I want to do programming but you gotta take a shyt load of math classes. I'm learning it myself but I'm tired of school. I'm in CC via FAFSA so if I drop out I gotta pay and if I fail idk what happens.

@Rose Gold



I think you are suffering from burnout...best way to deal with burnout...is to not do anything...


I don't take my own advice because I am a masochist...

I gotta write a webseries, I gotta make the music for the webseries, I gotta run a web design business, I deal with a crazy bytch that doesn't make any sense to me, I gotta pass classes I don't give a fukk about so I can get a piece of paper I don't give a fukk about...

I gotta do a lot of shyt...and the best thing for me to do...is do nothing and just lay in bed all day and watch Netflix or whatever and read about shyt that crosses my mind...and not talk to anybody


But instead I decided Ima shoot this web series in February...and Ima write it and do the music...currently...

Now I am like "fukk...I gotta do this shyt..."

And no I am not excited about doing it...nor am I happy about doing it...and I quite frankly do not get excited about anything...I don't view that things I do as accomplishments...at this point...I do not know what a fukking accomplishment is...I do not even know why I do the things I do...

I think because...I have nothing else better do...


All I really wanna do is absolutely nothing...


Anyway...if you don't wanna take antidepresssants so your brain can go back to normal...do the drugs I listed or do CBT....or DBT

I'm definitely burnt out with school and work. I don't even study or do homework cause I'm already failing badly. I dread going to work.
What's dbt

I'm sorry but my faith doesn't alleviate the stress and worry created by the cac like bills, etc

 

[TransJenner]

I'm sorry but my faith doesn't alleviate the stress and worry created by the cac like bills, etc

Pray for help with all that and really mean it
What do you have to lose

Like I said you gotta have a open heart about it
I use to go thru shyt as a kid and I prayed my heart out , trust me

In that case, you gotta persevere. Do things to take your mind off the grind for a moment at a time.

I haven't spent money besides necessities in like 2 months. Just saving. Yeah I'm screaming in the inside. Idk what to do but a new co-worker has experience with programming. He freelance (web dev) but he got kids now so he wants to go back to school.
