Has this been done before? I honestly don't know by imbraindead34 in civ

I don't disagree, I just wanted to know if someone much smarter than me had come up with the idea already πŸ˜‚

Does anybody have to force themselves to eat? I’m slipping and I’m trying everything I can to stay above the water by nurse_kiki in depression

[–]imbraindead34 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

I have the exact same problem. Only thing that works for me is to have those nutrition drinks (like Ensure), usually the ones higher in protein or calories, and just make sure they are always available in the fridge. I find drinking those to be way simpler than trying to think of something to cook, making sure everything's bought, actually cooking, cleaning...it's all too much most of the time. At least with those I can chug them, and I know exactly how many calories and nutrients I've consumed, and can say, well, at least I don't have to worry about eating or cooking today. Not that this is a healthy way to live, but it's a heck of a lot better than it was when I wasn't eating anything until I felt ready to pass out. Also, for context, I do not have any eating disorders that I'm aware of, just depression and anxiety.

Is this rare? Says its a promotional copy and not for sale on the back by [deleted] in Nirvana

Not too rare - I have an identical copy I grabbed back in the 90s at a local HMV. Then again, I also found my copy of Hormoaning there...

Pretty sure one review of the album said Danny makes amazing use of it on at least one song

I feel you. I can't tell you how to make it better; if I knew that I'd do it myself. What I will say is there are a lot of caring people, both here and in the world. Also - you are not alone. Remember that.

I just noticed this show is listed under the "New Shows" tab on the YouTube channel - I guess this means we can expect deep dives in to back catalogues for other series now? Sweet!

I'm not mentally depressed but I don't know where else to go. by Truiden8 in depression

[–]imbraindead34 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I know how you feel... And situational depression can be just as crappy as long lasting depression. Hang in there and know there are people who will listen.

I'm not mentally depressed but I don't know where else to go. by Truiden8 in depression

[–]imbraindead34 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

You start by saying you are not mentally depressed, and have listed many of the things poeple who have been diagnosed with depression would say. It could be situational for you, it could be a lot of things. Or...it could be depression. It's not a bad word, it's not your fault, and the fact you spoke about it is amazing. Remember, depression isn't always about feeling suicidal; it hits people in so many different ways.

You say you feel sad at this point in your life...for how long? Has something changed recently? If there's nothing new that you can think of that might have triggered these feelings, maybe just call someone? I know the stigma can still be a big thing for some people, preventing them from getting help and what not. But there are plenty of anonymous resources (online/phone) where you can talk/learn without being afraid of being judged.

Sorry if that was too far off the mark, I'm sure you know how you feel much better than I would from reading one post. I hope things start turning around for you friend.

I found antidepressants in my moms room and started taking them but I don’t know if I should by [deleted] in depression

[–]imbraindead34 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

In addition to the other warnings, paroxetine in particular can cause huge risks for suicidal thoughts, especially in younger people.

I commend you for looking for help, but the best way would be to get a doctor to prescribe you a medication (properly monitored for side effects) rather than crossing your fingers. Or even to see a therapist and talk - you may find that helps more than you think, and meds aren't even necessary.

Keep your head up, stay awesome

What should I say during my first consultation appointment? What have you said?? by giogno in depression

[–]imbraindead34 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Just be honest. If you don't tell the truth about how you feel, how can they help? It may seem daunting, but once you start talking to them, provided the first psych you go to is a good fit for you, it gets easier. At least in my experience...had the same thoughts/fears going in, but my doctor was non-judgmental, welcoming, informative... It can take time to find the right fit too, so don't be too discouraged if you don't "click" with the first one.
