I've been unable to function as a person for 6 years now, finally decided maybe I should talk to someone.
I've seen a psychologist 3 times now (facetime due to rona), she said I have major depressive disorder and got a psychiatrist to prescribe me prozac. I just started taking it 2 days ago, half a pill a day, and I'm supposed to move up to a full pill after a week. It just seems weird how fast I got handed pills, I've talked to the psychologist less than 3 hours in total.
How much I want to kill myself varies, but I never want to be alive. I can't decide if this is the way to go. Can you give me advice bros? I can give more details if needed.
>hay cool Yas Forums guis i wanna kill miswlf reel bad > think i shuld gib pills a tri?

Pretty much. Just looking for opinions, maybe some other anons have had a similar experience.

it's retarded to ask for health advice on the internet in general, fit more so. yes, if you're too fucked up to function try pills.

I'm 29, I'm ok now. In retrospect, I dealt with depression since I was a teen until a couple of years ago. I only got treatment around my 25s, Prozac just like you and now I don't take them anymore. It will help, everyone's experience is different but the way I'd describe the meds is that they won't make you happy, they will get you stable, like a boat in a storm, they won't let you sink, just be enough to remain on the surface, with therapy exercise and friends then you'll get past the storm. It's not easy mate and whence your depression passes it will always linger with you and you'll always be on the lookout, like a dark passenger who'd try to take the wheel if you let it.

parents forced me onto ssri's from 9 til l could take myself off at 18. if you want the dissociated mindset of a school shooter for the rest of your life, go for it. they will make you feel nothing when you're on them, and it only multiplies when you take yourself off them. best of luck
Fair enough Thanks for giving me your experience user This is what I'm hesitant about, but also part of me thinks "I already feel nothing, whats the worst that could happen"
try getting your test levels checked. I had low t and after starting test which i sourced myself its like im taking what i always imagined a 'antidepressant' to feel like. more level headed and less fuck giving. DO NOT TAKE THAT JEWISH POISON PILL SHIT.
>t. sleepy good goy nurture the seed if you want the flower to flourish. man made, mind altering chemicals will only damage you in the long run it's worse than you think. l had horrible mood swings, ssri's made me even more suicidal than before. just the realization that i'm dependant on a pill to function like a "normal" person was enough to make me not want to bother trying to improve myself. and getting off them is a nightmare in itself. they rewire your brain user. trust your intuition. if you truly believe you don't feel anything, try nature's antidepressant: psilocybin.
Here's how mental health works: >okay well this drug fucking destroys your brain >but if we don't give it to you maybe you die and dying is the worst possible outcome >therefore we will give you this brain-destroying drug >and we won't warn you about that because if you knew you wouldn't take it and then you'd die I have taken SSRIs before, in my teens. I took like three different kinds (not at the same time). They worked to varying degrees. One worked pretty well but it wasn't the one I finished on, actually. It got to where getting refills felt like more hassle than not taking the drug so I weaned myself off and never took them again.
They did work but if I had had competent parents who weren't busy with their own problems I would never have had to take them at all, I reckon. And I'll never know what permanent consequences may have occurred from taking them in my brain's developmental years. If your shit is absolutely fucked I would say go ahead and take them but be planning to get off the cunts from day one. My depression probably ended when I got some distance from the problems I had in my life. Funnily enough I'm not depressed now but my life is way more of a nightmare than it was then. But now it's a comfy sort of nightmare where I don't have to dip myself in mind-bending stress and misery each day.

Get a different psych who is a man. This is not a meme I'm dead fucking serious if you're a guy women psychologists will fuck you up more than your depression. I've had 3 psychs two where women and they gave me some of the worst advice ever. One told me that improving my diet wouldnt make me feel better and that my daily packet of crispy mnm's and 2L iced tea was fine. The other suggested that I try clubbing, casual sex/hookups and drinking after I expresed my dislike for them and that I was struggling to find like-minded people my age. The third one was a bloke and he's the reason I started working out and exercising. Taught me how to change the way I thought about things and how its ok to have negative thoughts so long as they're not the only thoughts I'm having. He took me off antidepressants and made more difference then they ever did. Changed my whole life. My best friend who's gay got told by a lady psych after opening up to her about his fear of not being able to father his own biological child got told that pride groups/culture would help, and that he should go to an upcoming parade and I quote "have some 'fun' while he's there". I wouldnt stay with someone who gave you them after less than 3 hours it sounds like they're just trying to mask your symptoms and move on to the next paycheck. I'd ask for super low dosage of somthing super mellow to start with and work your way up. Antidepressants will have a PERMANENT effect on you brain chemistry and can make it harder in the future to be happy, and as such should be taken with care. is right and sometimes you need them to calm the storm. They can be a necessary evil. Remember to be careful with withdrawl once you stop taking them, it can plunge you back into darkness if youre not aware that they will pass. Stay strong user. I believe in you, we're all going to make it.
also this check hormone your levels to be safe and this

She prescribed them to you but it's up to you to take them, I'd give it a try at the least seeing as you might as well change up your 6 year streak, and if you're feeling unwell, lay off them.

This is probably the guy that makes the crab bucket "why even lift when your face/bank balance/dick/hairline is not 10/10?" threads.
Carter Davis
this is even more hilarious op. some plebbitor who wants to dismiss my advice and doesnt even provide his own. my balls work or they did until prescription opiate use for injury tanked my test levels. bet you gonna suggest some goy pills or acid or some bullshit. truly the nigger here is you.
dude stfu you have little raisins for balls. i could beat the fuck out of you.

Bruh you know that psychologists are just shrinks without degrees right? They aren't even legally allowed to diagnose you, they just talk to you (not saying therapy doesn't work, but probably not what user's looking for).
Psychiatrists are the medical doctors who actually know what they're doing - it sounds like splitting hairs I know but it's kind of a huge difference.
there's no shortcuts when it comes healing your mental state. my experience comes from a decade of use starting while my brain was still developing, and my mental state never recovered. honestly, l'd rather kill myself than be forced to take those fucking pills again dude. learn to cope with your past and depression, don't mask it with feelgood pills. you'll regret it.

Your therapist stories are interesting. It's good to remember that a majority of the people that get into psych' do so because they are weird and ill themselves. I might just be speaking for myself but I think a lot of what fucks up guys today is having shit-tier fathers or not having fathers at all. So it probably can't hurt to read stuff that seems kind of faggy like "The Way of Men" by Jack Donovan. (I unironically recommend that one, actually.) And "trad" stuff like Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. (I still haven't read that).
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals,and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.
I am trained ingorilla warfareand I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces.You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words.
You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet?Think again, fucker.As we speakI am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.
Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corpsand I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.
But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.
A psychologist has a degree, they just don't have a medical degree. I think they still need to put in like six years of work to be fully accredited. But even among MDs there are shit ones, crazy ones and ones that don't care about you. I would recommend not being such a credentialist. You could find a counsellor who has even less credentials than a shrink that helps you more.
