Has anyone here ever been able to overcome, cure or treat depression? How did you do it?
I've never quite been able to shake it completely.
There have been times where shit seemed to be getting better but at the end of the day, I'd be in the same bottomless pit of ropefuel.

It's so messed up man
I doubt it
never has been fully cured but some meds have helped in the long term, although made it worse in the short term.
It's brutal.
There's really no end to it.
I personally drink a decent bit and that seems to take my mind off of it all.
SSRIs? something else?
SNRIs
Have you ever tried SSRIs or anti psychotics?
No
id like to think so, in a way. i dont really feel a huge amount at all anymore, so feeling something nice is, well, a nice surprise. theres a certain degree of pleasant numbness that comes with being alone in a world where people are more connected than ever.
SSRIs never worked for me
I have to take anti psychotics because I have a schizo spectrum disorder (I go into psychosis)
How?
How have SNRIs helped you? I've took SSRIs and anti psychotics and they didn't help, on the contrary, caused permanent issues, i might maybe try SNRIs
got used to it. i just coast on through life now and honestly? i dont care if im deluding myself, ignoring normalniggery and just getting on with myself aint half bad.
I used to feel completely overwhelmed every day. I was truly praying to die and planning suicide.
Now life is still miserable, but I can just say fuck it and basically rot in peace.
It isn't great but its bearable.
Did you have trouble with doing basic tasks, like working, showering, brushing teeth etc? How is that now? Are you still taking them?
I could manage to do basic tasks.
but I could not work, I was too overcome with dread and worry and fear.
I still take them.
As you know it is very difficult to find something that works. And the doctor/NPs don't know shit. They usually let you try whatever you want because your guess is as good as theirs.
Same
That's true. I tried most antidepressants because i have side effects with all of them. Now ive been more than a year with paroxetine because it is the one that seems to work better with me, but for them is like try and error. They don't know shit about the mind and depression

There are ups and downs
And you are able to work now? Sorry for asking so many questions btw. Just trying to get out of this hell hole...
That's so real, they don't come up with anything useful, if I mention something random they go ''ah yes that is such a good idea''
yes I can work now. its ok I know how bad it can get. I was desperate too. I got put on the SNRI when I went to the psych ward because I just couldn't take it anymore.
They are just the gatekeepers of meds. I don't even know what they are supposed to be doing.
I made major changes to my life. Moved back in with my family. I completely gave up on the idea I'd ever get married and have kids. Quit drinking and drugs. Eventually got a job and then got a better one. Started going back to the gym. Now I'm sort of coasting and moneymaxxing and just maybe hoping I can save up enough to retire early and then go to live in Thailand.
This took many years though. I had a lot of problems to deal with and tackled only one problem at a time.

yep I have, I used medication and mindfulness meditation to conquer it. What is your situation?
The only two things my retarded therapist or whatever she is supposed to be has been doing is try to convince me to go to a technology event for gamer autists and try to sign me up for housing so i can move out of my parents' house when i feel like it for months fucking whore she makes me so mad she literally doesn't understand the slightest bit of what i'm going through and i've been seeing her for years
NEETing, just enough mental energy to shower once-every other day and brush my teeth once in a while, and also go outside once in a while, these are pretty much the two things i do except sleep, eat, browse internet etc
I've tried SSRis, anti psychotics and adhd stimulants
How long have you had it for? I was basically born depressed, and none of that makes any difference.
agree that therapists just give standard bluepill advice. It's always the same thing you would hear if you posted your problem on Reddit.The only two things my retarded therapist or whatever she is supposed to be has been doing is try to convince me to go to a technology event for gamer autists and try to sign me up for housing so i can move out of my parents' house when i feel like it for months fucking whore she makes me so mad she literally doesn't understand the slightest bit of what i'm going through and i've been seeing her for years
prescribers are even worse. They just ask what I want and give it to me (but won't give anything good). They should just sell this stuff over the counter instead of having this middle-man

I think me aswell and not know it, because I remember telling my father how I felt as a child and he got angry.

What does SSRIs mean?
