Is there any way to find a therapist who isn't theistic? Every single one I've ever met believes in some sort of diety. How am I supposed to trust someone to understand what I'm saying if they still believe in Santa?

I simply don't trust the decision making skills and logical abilities of anyone who believes in things without any evidence.

I just took my first pill. If I cared, I'd rub a quick one out. Sadly I'm already too depressed to care.

Well I need to do something. I bought a shotgun recently with poor intentions, then chickened out and cancelled the order the next day. I also just let my issues push out the first person I've felt anything for in years. A human disaster

Months into chemical and mental therapy. Nothing helps. Everyone I've ever had serious feelings for doesn't want to talk to me anymore. I'm estranged from my weird, crap family. Isolated and alone. Forgotten and disposed. mod edit: removed some personal information (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) Somebody has issued a correction as of 22:00 on Nov 9, 2020 |

My voice is hosed from screaming. Can hardly talk. This morning was better since I was in a bit of a drowsy daze. I'm covered in bruises on my head from slamming it into the table. My sternum is bruised from me punching myself. I am really losing my mind. But today is just low-grade depression.

The past isn't feeling any better but the present is more tolerable. This has taken 3 months of drugs and therapy and I'm still far from fine. Keep trying

Chokes McGee posted:The eventual realization I came to is that I've been born, and there's nothing that can change that. Even death doesn't erase the fact I was born in the first place and have affected the world as a result. So, I make the best of the life I've been given. This is the same conclusion I came to. Good brains.

Maha posted:Feels like living in the timeline in which good was defeated forever. The biosphere is collapsing, discourse has been controlled by intelligence agencies since before we were born, all energy is safely shunted into cynical culture wars and moral panics. People's lives are intentionally kept scrabbling and precarious, running to stay in place. Looking at history and prehistory yields more horror. Most humans are content with terrible things so long it benefits their needs. In a just world, we would regulate this nonsense. Instead we have Freedom™

I'm finally off all medication after 6 months of fluoxetine and quetiapine. I've cut out drinking, reduced marijuana usage. Fully vaccinated so at least I can start to participate in society once more. I'm not happy but no longer feel dysfunctional. I can mostly operate within my standard routines. Still struggling to get fitness integrated once more into my daily regiment. Not a fan of the 20 lbs I put on. My psychiatrist sucks and won't see again, not that I need to. My therapist, however, is great and smarter than most. That's very important when having in-depth conversations about complex issues. I'm not sure I'm where I need to be, but right now life is tolerable and that's a huge improvement over the past.

Negative feelings can serve purpose, yet are often poor motivators. At some point we have to decide what life we want, and then start doing the tedious stuff. Good luck to you, I hope you can find more value in your self and strength for your family.

Living alone sucks. Cooking for one sucks. Paying 100% of monthly rent and utilities sucks. Having no family sucks. Spending the vast majority of the past 16 months without in-person human interaction sucks. I've not had a holiday, birthday, vacation, or special event in years. I sit and look at the walls. Sometimes play music or videogames. Alone. Sucks.

Sorry to say that Bowie is cancelled. A man in his 40s cannot have a 3-some with two underage people (one 16 and one 15) and remain an icon. While the victims publicly shared they do not feel negative (in regards to the experience), a crime still occurred and Bowie abused his power.

I've been off meds for months. I practically eliminated alcohol from my diet. I still feel awful most days. Some days worse than that too. I'm trying to have hope, but it feels like faith. You know, a lie we tell ourselves to feel better. My life is empty and I feel broken.

Still trying to complete projects which has been one of the most grounding activities I could do. I unfortunately have other chores I really don't want to deal with, but I keep pushing a bit each day. 6 months ago I couldn't plan complex tasks 8 months ago I couldn't function Still depressed and sad, which honestly might be with me for the rest of my life. Maybe this's as good as it gets.

Uganda Loves Me posted:We have a monthly meeting at my local NAMI with guest speakers, and this time we had a panel of 5 pharmacists. It was amazing. One of them gave a presentation on genetic testing, and I hadn't realized it progressed so far. She said you can get a test for about $115 and there are ways to get help paying for it. They can tell you if you have a genetic predisposition to metabolize certain medications quickly or slowly, and all kinds of other things. Trying psych meds is such a frustrating experience full of trial and error. I'm going to get a test done, and see what my results are. I might not switch medications with the new information, but it would be a nice way to understand my experiences a little better. Would love to hear more about this.
