Yeah, I was there when a former best friend went through it after her online psychiatrist put her on a cocktail of Adderall, antidepressants, and who knows what else and she was having the brain shocks, withdrawals, vomiting. That’s definitely very real.

It does make me angry when they prescribe it all willy nilly like that without trying other things first.

Wish you the best of luck getting clear of them and living a happy life.

I personally am writing them off entirely for personal use, but I am happy they work for you. I’ve been saying the entire time in this thread that it’s a personal decision… I’ll admit I was playing it up for that one user who was super rude to me because it was fun to piss him off, but you are cool.

I’ll be whatever you all need me to be and I’m quite confident in my beliefs on the matter. I will also continue to be able to achieve an erection and orgasm until my age naturally catches up with me. You do you.

To become this enlightened has taken some time, so fret not. There’s hope for you. Perhaps once you’ve lost a couple of friends to this destructive industry. Until then, I can see you’re quite comfortable in the circle jerk.

I’m gonna block you now, bud, because it’s getting creepy. You have to learn when to let go.

Shhh shhh shhh. Fly away, little moth. This flame doesn’t burn for you. This flame burns too bright.

Look, I know that you love me, but I asked you to please not follow me. Maybe we could have had something great, but you ruined it. And that’s on you, kid. I don’t believe in second chances.

Man, you really are just a miserable cunt then. Best of luck with that. Maybe those venerated geniuses will come up with that magical solution for you.

Imagine we’re at a party. I am now grabbing my beer and going to talk to somebody who isn’t an asshole. Don’t follow me.

So you took the pills to find out the same thing I knew not taking them and now you are lashing out calling me an idiot and downvoting every one of my comments though I don’t mirror that same hostility and disrespect. Very cool.

You know, getting depressed sometimes is a part of the human experience. Some are born into happier conditions than others and some are destined to misery by virtue of the family, class, and culture they came into. It’s all random chance in a chaotic universe. I still think being born human beats being born as a friggin’ tapeworm or bedbug or some other shit animal though, so it could be worse. Just do your best to distract from the depression when it strikes, don’t label yourself with some bullshit diagnostic another flawed ape monster put on you (who no doubt has many of their own mental issues), enjoy the small things, and know that this all comes to an end one day (thank God). Fuck it.

More bullshit than perfect as it were. Maybe someday with enough guinea pigs to experiment on, eh?

Only thing I need to know in this case is that I don’t trust that industry and find it terrifying that they have been given any credibility and legal power over others. Quacks with degrees in pseudoscience whose book of diagnostics was written by the same people on the pharmaceutical boards. I will have nothing to do with it.

You do you and follow your own beliefs and practices.

Yeah, I’m sure being held captive by terrifying ape creatures isn’t what causes their mental issues at all just like the conditions that terrifying ape creatures inflict onto us isn’t what causes ours. It’s just a brain chemical imbalance you are born with, you see, and you have to electrocute the brain to solve everything… wait, no, shove this ice pick up your eye… well, that was problematic… take these chemicals! Hmmm… let’s try a dozen more until we find the “right” one.

Fucking hell no.

Behind a paywall so I unfortunately can’t read it. These are animals being held in captivity and being tested on by their captors? Heh. Pretty apt comparison if that’s the case. I’m sure the solution is to give them pills to numb them rather than free them no doubt.

No other animal suffers from depression. If it were a brain chemical issue, where are all the depressed squirrels and buffalo? It’s a human problem. That brain chemical imbalance shit is a neat way for the pharmaceutical companies to push their expensive poison on us. Break your dick and ruin one of the few good things in life. Happy now? Pass.

Depressed? Congratulations. You’re more intelligent and aware than most.

Right? I’ve never believed that depression is a brain chemical issue. It’s an issue of being aware of the true nature of the world and species.

Edit: Take your pills the fancy drug dealer prescribed you for your “depression” and break your dicks. Numb yourself up to it all and live your best life, man. I don’t give a fuck. I drink, so it probably isn’t much better. Heh. Sorry I struck a nerve, but my perspective on this matter isn’t changing in my lifetime. This is the same industry that used to electrocute and shove ice picks into your brain. Now they do it with chemicals. Still just clueless throw shit at the wall and see what sticks nonsense that will never solve the real problem.
