/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

yes

I just come here to talk smack when I can't find anything I like listening to being discussed

I was clinically depressed, but due to medication and trying my hardest to stay occupied I'm fairly happy now.

>>25382429

this. prozac pulled me out of that shit.

Whenever I feel depressed, I just remember that all mental illnesses are just illusions and I start to feel better. Seriously, no need to spend $10,000 on placebo.

I am not depressed, despite rumours to the contrary.

No, I really want to fuckin die and kill myself today.

Don't be silly, everyone on the internet is depressed or bipolar or schizophrenic. Self-diagnosed usually but it doesn't make it any less DRAMATIC.

are you kidding me? this board is normalfag central. less than 10% of /mu/ is probably actually clinically depressed.

>>25382429
I was prescribed medication but I never take it. I don't feel like myself when I take it. I know that sounds stupid

more like self pitying teenager who want attention/SOCIAL ACTIVITY.

but the 20+ guys here are most definitely at risk.

>>25382326
Nope, just comfortably numb. A ha. Ha. ha.

>>25382524
American Football reference?
>overly DRAMATICCCC

i'm not clinically depressed, i just have a shit life
it's not a chemical imbalance or any shit like that

>>25382564

Doesn't sound stupid at all. Ask your Doc for an SSRI.
(Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitor)
What you're on right now is old school, and is dulling your senses.

Some asshole once diagnosed me with that shit and I took some drugs for a few months - but then I came to a stronger realization that my sadness is based on reality. Drugs do not defeat logic - but hey, I guess I'm still here.

TLDR: "Clinically depressed?" Suck it up you pussy.

I've been prescribed wellbutrin but I'm not very good about taking it

>>25382455
good, I'm glad :-)

>>25382564
Nah, sometimes I dont feel like myself when I took it.
I used my medications to help me feel better initially. Then, I started to take less and less and become less dependent on them and starting being positive and being occupied (listening to more music, fishing, posting on /mu/ more)
And now I'm just a generally happier person.
Feeling bad for yourself won't get you anywhere, man, remember that.

>>25382482
Uh, SSRIs are actually incredibly cheap. You can get a months prescription for a couple dollars. $10,000? You have no idea what you are talking about.

Also, this isn't 80 years ago and we know that not everything is Freudian mother-problem bullshit, chemical imbalance is real. SSRIs do not work for all people, but they are a fairly effective medication.

I guess what I'm saying is that you are talking totally out of your ass about an issue where peoples lives are ultimately at stake, and that makes you a dick.

There is legitimacy in SSRIs.

I'm not.

>>25382564
it doesnt sound stupid
the first meds I was prescribed made me euphoric, I wasn't myself either

i have anxiety/ocd issues rather than depression issues (though i think i was depressed for a little while when i was 13)

>8 months ago I would have said yes

>>25382679
>Noah
>likes to fish

this will end well

No, but I feel sad from time to time. I woke up this morning wishing I wasn't a date virgin, but felt better as the day progressed. I'm a happy guy, but have wants like everybody else.

>>25382627
Yeah, I had it playing as I read this thread and couldn't resist.

Depressed but too much of a pussy to kill myself.

me. I'm an optimistic person and I rarely feel down for a period longer than an hour

>>25382723
I don't get the reference.
And if getting high as fuck and sitting in a boat isnt fun theres something wrong with you.

I very frequently feel like utter shit, but I'm not so much of a cunt as to declare myself to have a real and serious condition like depression while possessing no medical background.

What do you guys take?

Wellbutrin here, shit works, but life still gets me down once in a while

Maybe a few.

I'm depressed, but not in the legitimate chemical balance way. I'm just a really pessimistic whiny fuck.

I had to drop out of uni because of clinical depression and social anxiety disorder. Could barely leave my room.

I didn't really believe depression was an actual illness until it happened to me... so I can't be too mad at the people in this thread who aren't taking it seriously and think that you just need to will it away.

how did you find your therapist? did you just get a referral from your GP?

>>25382835
Venlafaxine. Shit sucks cause I can't come anymore.

>>25382835
Tercian, Valdoxan and various sleeping pills

>>25382700
>>25382679
>>25382661
thanks /mu/, i'll be sure to talk to my doctor about that. I'm trying to get through it though, I hate people who try to romanticisize having a serious medical condition.

>>25382879
know what you mean

>>25382939
Oh fuck dude talk to your doctor right now
That happened to me too, i stopped taking that shit when i realized that i couldn't cum without jacking off for a straight hour, and it was effexor's fault

>>25382959

Good luck bro. You'll need to give SSRIs a chance though, they can take 6 weeks to begin having an effect, and only if taken regularly. Your doc might insist on a lower dose of whatever you're on right now in the transition.
Also, get your name down now for some CBT. The waiting list is ridiculous, but it's the first way out of meds. (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

>>25383015
Yeah, I will. My gf thought it was fun at first until I strted getting limp inside her. Never felt more of a man. She's understanding though.

i have a history of depression, but i like to think i'm over it. my life is just kind of shitty and that is kind of depressing, but i deal with it. in any case it isn't the kind of soul destroying pathological bleakness that i used to experience. anything is better than that. which is why i can appreciate the unrewarding, menial existence i'm currently leading.

>>25383124
makes me kinda sad that it'll happen to every guy when they get older

at least we got a preview of how much it blows

>>25383104
Thanks, i appreciate the advice man.

tfw suffer from boredom on the internet every day and its ruining my life

Everyone ITT - Get onto SSRIs if appropriate, and look into Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

I love you all, you faggots, and there ain't a single thing you can do about it.

>>25383234

<3

no

I'm on anti-depressants.

I just wish I had the courage to kill myself and end this shit

>>25383267

CBT.

>tfw they're all out having fun without you

>>25383455
I know this feel so fucking well. Literally my family is outside all enjoying themselves and the weather and talking and laughing and I'm unside by myself on /mu/. I want to go out there, but I know It'll just be akward and I'll feel even worse

>>25383439

Don't say that shit, man.

Breaks my heart when i hear this kinda thing. I felt the same once, and in 2005, had I been sitting on the correct train track, I wouldn't be typing this now. I shit thou not.

Just fucking hold on. My life was shit, and it transformed eventually, and completely.

No one here is clinically depressed, we're all just self-diagnosed faggots who endlessly post feels

I'm an emotionally balanced person, but then again, I'm new here

Lol, depressed. None of you faggots are depressed, your all just whiny, pathetic fucking losers. There's fuck all wrong with any of you.

>>25383541
Yeah bro

>>25383600
You sure showed them, anon!

*epic high five*

i don't think i'm depressed

i'm just socially inept and lazy

>>25383633

I'm reached of the Asperger, a light form of Autism. I take Risperdal for control truculence and Rivotril for the anxiety. I'm also bipolar and the anxiety transform my life on hell.

>>25382326
Not me.
I'm highly anxious tho.

>>25383573

>emotionally balanced

>mu

welcometomunowgetthefuckout.jpg

I'm depressed. I have a history of it and i wish i didn't. sadface

anxiety/panic, in therapy for it, but no depression

>tfw you notice your phone hasn't vibrated for awhile
>you pick up your phone
>it suddenly vibrates
>tfw you have the shittiest of all superpowers

why god why

>>25383701
>light form of autism

Keep dreaming

At various stages I've taken citalopram, fluoxetine, valium and gabapentin. Done therapy too. I'm legitimately ill and getting better.

>>25383854

Get a routine. (This goes for all of you itt)

Set an alarm. Get up. Eat if you can. Get dressed. Plan your day. Go for a walk/run/jog/swim. It'll pick up your mood, doing something active. Sit down. Write a list. Get a target then work back, with your list. ie - I want to study law. What's the first step? What's the next step? And so on and so forth. Write down your goals, and write down the things you need to do to achieve them, every hurdle and how you'll tackle them. Fucking do it. Don't just read this and say hey whatever. Get a fucking life plan and stick to it. The trick is, sticking to it. Reward yourself with visiting /mu/ or whatever when you've got some shit done, and not a minute before. The first thing is a routine guys.

OCD and depression.

When I was a kid, the psychiatrist thought it was the ass burgers, so for ten years, I was saddled up with the most obese and entitled neckbeards possible. I think that's where the depression comes from. Anyway, I got a second opinion about a year ago. Feels great not having aspergers, but also it doesn't because I'm still menaced by unwanted thoughts.

>>25382485
you're so brave.

>>25382808
he's being Biblical

anyway, my only mental disorder is homophilia

Does cutting actually help ease the pain?

I'm looking for some self-medication for what is essentially eternal pessimism.

I have been drinking on my SSRI's. I swear I never used to be this violent when I was drunk.

>>25384261
>self-medication for what is essentially eternal pessimism.
Maturity.

>>25384145

>The first thing is a routine guys.

A lot of people would vehemently disagree with that statement.

>>25384145
Thats sounds.
So.
CRUSHINGLY.
Dull.

>>25382326
I'm not clinically depressed... but only because I haven't seen a doctor.

I'm unhappy, but I don't think I'm clinically depressed.

>>25384369

As a budding psychologist, I believe I could be of help.

Symptoms?

>>25384145

You're all pretty much what? Late teens? 20 somethings? Trust an oldfag when I tell you what I said to do before.
I'm 36 now, and an oldfag literally, as well as on this site. To be honest, I'd probably have did myself in by now if I was part of this net generation. Sucks to be you guys, seriously.
Regardless, I nearly did do myself in anyway. I sat on the wrong track. I'm now eternally thankful I sat on the wrong track, even though I nearly got dragged under the passing train with the wind turbulence.
My life changed. Yours will too. I know I sound like a complete faggot, but when you've came so fucking close to death, it has an effect, and I just don't want any of you to do anything rash. Ok?

>>25384328

Duller than miring in a depressive state? Ok then....

>>25384308

It's one of many methods. I'm putting a method out bro, what you saying to help?

Meh. I'm mildly bipolar and go through depressed spells, but the manic episodes are really a more integral part of my personality

>>25384481
I'm 16 and spend 90% of my free time in my room, on the internet or playing video games. I have some friends, but they never invite me to do anything, and we then they occasionally do, I just act all awkward and never enjoy being around them. I just wish I could meet some people (or some person) that I can connect with. My parents are concerned. They took me to see a psychiatrist last week, but nothing really happened at the meeting. I think we established the problem was that I need to build an emotional bond with my parents, but the real problem is that I just don't enjoy life, and I just dislike myself. I'm kind of suicidal, and I wish I wasn't. Everything just feels so empty.

All of /mu/s aspies are normal fags who are just pussies with no confidence and superiority complexes.

>>25384635
Forcing yourself to do that pigshit everyday isn't gona help anyone. Dya think "happy" people wake up fresh everymorning and think to themselves "Ah, good, now to make my daily step by step list of things to do today". No, fuck that. What your suggesting there, my son, is near OCD, and if any one I knew did shit like that I'd laugh at them for being so mind numbingly boring.

>>25384766

I'm not the guy you responded to, but you're the perfect example of what I call net generation. Your social aqwardness simply derives from lack of social practice. Nothing else. There's nothing wrong with you, you just need to get out more and socialise. Just keep at it, you'll soon feel more comfortable around others.

I haven't been formally diagnosed with depression, but whenever I take a depression test online my results always include the phone number for the suicide hotline, so......

>I wish I was joking

anxiety and on SSRI for it, otherwise pretty happy and normal guy
also, schizotypal and most likely OCD, but aren't we all?

>>25384804

You're so wrong bro. I'm not saying that's how 'happy' people operate, I'm saying it's a beginning of getting out of the rut of a depressive state.

>>25384897
I agree with you, I just don't know where or how to get more social interaction. I think that if I could get a job, that would help me a lot, but no one wants to hire a super awkward teenager with no previous experience.

>>25385014

ALL teenagers are super awkward with no previous experience!!!! If you can't get a job right now, do some volunteer work or something. It'll help your social skills, put you ahead of others exp wise, and look great on your CV. There might even be some cute girl working there that you hook up with? Who knows?! Get out there son!!
