lmao chemical imbalance theories of depression are bullshit spouted by doctors to push SSRIs on people

stop taking chemical cocktails and smoke some weed, lift a thing, and get laid

if that doesn't work then you probably are smart enough to realize life is painful and absurd and no amount of distraction or drugs can change this conclusion so good luck spending the rest of your life debating on whether or not to bite a bullet until you find yourself alone in a nursing home regretting all those years you spent analyzing your life as a sad sack instead of oh too late now you're dead and yhour life wasn't really important enough to warrant all that worrying anyway inthe grand scheme of things

if you put rats in a cage and threaten them with a snake they freak out and try to get away. if you keep doing it eventually they just stop reacting to it and other threats. humans gotta put up with dumb poo poo all the time that they have to do aswell, its a similar mechanism. some dude at school threaten to kill you? too bad everyone says you got to go anyway. your work turning into an unbearable hell? too bad you got to go anyway for the money.

nah ssris are good poo poo.went off them for like 2 months, then back on and the difference is night & day.poo poo feels like a low-key but still functional mdma buzz.dampens that part of your mind that's inclined to throw in the towel & sleep/stare at a wall for yet another day.

i will say however that coming off them is a unique brand of horrible, though.don't like being so reliant on the loving things.

true about weed & exercise though.combine Meds, weed & lifting for good times (stay hydrated though).meds give you energy & motivation, weed somehow makes it easier to nail good form & gives you the patience to do lots of reps without getting bored & the lifting releases endorphins into the chemical cocktail.really good way to get a deep workout, esp with suitable music

lift bigger things. much bigger things. you are not going to get super swole by accident unless you are eating like 4000 calories and shittons of protein and doing the lifting thing 5-6 days a week

And you do realize that the only way one can get out of a depression that is not induced by chemicals loving up their brains or traumatic childhood events like molestation is basically kicking your own rear end out of it and taking those steps to get out of depression?

That's like saying that it's impossible for drug addicts or alcoholics to ever stop on their own, just too hard

Yeah some people need rehab, but a fuckton more just kick it on their own or with help of some friends

LIKE THE WAVES IN THE OCEAN I WILL DIG IN YOUR FAT AND SEARCH FOR YOUR CLITORIS, BUT I WON'T SLAM WHALE
(It starts with one)
One thing I don't know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
(All I know)
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
(It’s so unreal)
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn’t even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to be will eventually be a memory of a time when...

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

no you moran i'm not saying depression don't real, i'm saying SSRIs suckkkkk

also there is no evidence that serotonin or dopamine levels are any different in depressed people vs. non-depressed people so what i'm saying is antidepressants are a pretty crude tool to fix a problem that is more complex than "brain chemistry"

also whoever said weed is also a chemical cocktail, you know what i mean you doofus
