The secret to losing weight while drinking is just to make everything you drink a mixture of 75% hard liquor and 25% juice, and also to drink instead of eating.

Some of those anti depressants are no joke. I took one in my early 20s that packed 87 pounds on me ridiculously fast. Thank god I was still young and had that young metabolism when I got off it so the weight went away fairly fast. You couldn't pay me to take any of that poo poo anymore.

+1 for the to hell with anti-depressants crowd. I know some people are so sadbrains they really really need it, but it’s definitely overprescribed these days. Working out a lot, or just breaking their self-destructive cycles, will help a lot of people as much as antidepressants. I chucked the anti-depressants after high school and dropped from around 100kg to around 75-80kg and then picked up rugby and weightlifting and am back to 110kg but this time a bunch of it is muscle and my life is pretty cool. Tl;dr lift weights and scrum with big sweaty men to make you happy

First of all, that would just make me bulky. Second of all, that's really just another form of chemical assistance; if you need to be distracted by activity and company to be happy, maybe you need to work on yourself, not just your body. this is what some people actually say

Working out a lot, or just breaking their self-destructive cycles, will help a lot of people as much as antidepressants. I want to address this for a hot second, not specifically targeted at you Limbo, but at this idea in general. I'm not attacking you, your journey, or your experience, but I see a lot of neurotypical people echoing this same thought without the perspective of living through it: While this post is correct, "working out" and "breaking self-destructive cycles" are fairly difficult goals period, even to someone given every single advantage life has to offer. Some folks might need medicine to even get to the point where they can recognize self-destruction or muster up the self-confidence to start working out. Working out is more successful than antidepressant therapy alone, but they work together even better. The idea that medication is the end-all be-all is, obviously, big pharma bullshit, but just because big pharma is bullshit doesn't mean that medicines can't work wonders in the right application. Think about being stuck at the bottom of a well. Some wells are too small to dig yourself out of. Some have loose stonework and plenty of handholds. If you get wedged upside down, you might not even realize you're in a well at all. Maybe you've injured yourself in the fall, and that makes climbing out difficult. You know that, on the surface, there's medicine and first aid for your injuries, but you've got to get to that help first. Even someone handing you a ladder can't account for how your injuries are going to impact your climb up. There are an uncountable number of ways to fall down an uncountable number of holes and that's still just a fraction of the complexity involved in addressing the intersections of trauma and mental illness. America expects a fairly ludicrous amount of initiative and self-starting from our most troubled groups. It's kind of lovely.

I'm not attacking you, your journey, or your experience, but I see a lot of neurotypical people echoing this same thought without the perspective of living through it: I think the issue that Limbo was bringing up is that people are prescribed anti-depressants without a plan of how to get away from them, so they are essentially on them for life, instead of utilizing them as a first step so they can begin to tackle the root causes of their issues. There are a ton of people that can benefit from therapy but they are so far gone they NEED anti-depressants to even begin to start therapy, but the issue is going on the pills and never having a plan of action to actually resolve the problem and get away from the pills. *edit* also some people might just have straight up broken brains and will always need pills, not sure if we've come to that conclusion yet scientifically or not, but I see it as a possibility.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:America expects a fairly ludicrous amount of initiative and self-starting from our most troubled groups. It's kind of lovely. The average person who isn't well acquainted with the realities of mental illness, will see, instead of the benefits from increased tolerance and understanding, the downside of a growing culture of adversity to consequence and individual responsibility. Sticking with the analogy game, when most people look at an issue where the pendulum has swung too far in one direction, they start pushing it back to the mean. Another group, who has never seen the pendulum from that other side, will more clearly understand what it might look like if the pendulum swings too far in the other direction, and start pushing back. Nobody will stop pushing for a minute or walk around to the other side for their perspective to see where it should ultimately stop, because that would cede ground to the opposing force, so instead, people get positional, and dug in to protect the ground they've gained.

Pick posted:Every person, women particularly, I know who went on antidepressants gained an absolute poo poo ton of weight, to the point it's weird it's never mentioned as a side effect.Every single one. I didn't usually have weight gain on meds (maybe because they'd usually tack Wellbutrin on, which sometimes actually causes loss). The one that made my weight explode was called Latuda (which my doctor assure me was 'weight neutral'). Slammed on a good 30 pounds in 3 months (plus when I went to my GP for 'why the gently caress am I still gaining weight, I go to the boxing gym 3-4 times a week', my cholesterol was insane). They have ads for Latuda on like, Hulu or another site like that, and I still get kinda huffy when, toward the end of the ad, the warnings sneak in 'in rare cases Latuda can cause weight gain and increase the cholesterol in your blood'). It gets mentioned as a side effect for anti-depressants, but, again they usually slip it in there after the 'worse ones' like muscle rigidity, difficulty swallowing, ataxia or poo poo like 'this can cause your liver or renal system to fail!'. I'm unfortunately on the end of the sadbrains scale that I need to take medication, but with what I'm on now, at least the worst side effect I can get is 'potentially fatal rash'. Thanks, lovely brain chemistry!  And I know someone that packed on a good 150 or so lbs on lithium or depakote (one of the older bipolar meds) they got into powerlifting and see the added bulk as an advantage, so ymmv.

My wife [40 F] of 17 years got an anonymous letter stating that I [43 M] have been cheating on her.Infidelityquote:Two weeks ago, my wife got a hand mailed letter with no return address stating that I was cheating on her with someone who is "young, hot, and fit". The letter was addressed to our house and spelled her name correctly. The author even knew how many kids we have. No specifics about the alleged person were given. The letter was typed on a word processor and printed out. Based on the envelope, the letter was mailed from our local postal zone.

The rare time the engineering student isn't being the rear end in a top hat. My [24/M] girlfriend [23/F] is really gullible and it's starting to cause issues quote:My girlfriend and I have been together for about a year now. We're both Democrats (this is actually important) but I'm a bit more right-wing and have voted Republican in local elections. Because of this, I especially don't like the slander that gets thrown around by either side, as it takes away from the valid criticisms. We live in a very liberal area, so I see a lot of mud-slinging towards Republicans and even more right-leaning Democrats. As a right-leaning Democrat, this can be very frustrating.
