going for a walk, squeezing a stress ball for about 15 mins straight, stress eating (not advisable btw), taking a nap, watching anime, playing a couple of bot games but each time i just remind myself that time is running out and im still not studying enough to get the grades i want

well if you choose to go on antidepressants that means you are already actively trying to make changes to your life to be happier and work on making changes for the better

or thats what i tell myself!!! hahah! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

im kinda in the mood for learning a card game. kinda wish mtg arena would come out public or artifact or something. my brain wants learning thats a little less crushing than dota. then again, i can just poor that into studying i guess! hard for me to play games lately XD

That sounds really disappointing, from someone who's been kinda looking out for it.

Hope Artifact will be good, then.

Comeh, have you tried Spellweaver? It's not super popular, but is pretty good.

i mean, i have no idea about mtg arena, but i know they were doing a new release with like, modern updates to the client so i was hoping that would turn out okay.

I haven't tried spellweaver. I should look it up i suppose.

One important thing to keep in mind about anti-depressants is that they typically take 4-6 weeks to actually take effect.

a lot of anti-depressants just change the plasticity of the brain so you still gotta be a positive d00d for them to do anything, that's kinda why some people just feel all shittier becuz of no positive mental attitude, for dota player achieving peak P.M.A should come really naturally though so no worries there

this thread is a really great start though because of all the self-deprecating, not serious at all, humour
the best kind there is
also I'd be a bit wary of symptoms of psychosis and shit, so they can switch the meds quickly
from the sidelines depersonalization looks really scary, if anything could scare me and I wasn't a manly man just oozing dat toxic masculinity

im pretty sure (micro)dosing lsd and shrooms can sometimes help with depressive episodes due to their pharmacological action being kinda similar to SSRIs

SSRIs deal with too many serotonin receptors existing and having too much synaptic serotonin going into and being consumed by those receptors by antagonizing (blocking) the receptors

psychedelics are just serotonin agonists (but with distinct affinity profiles for the 14 types of serotonin receptors and also other receptors) that flood the receptors and seem to induce downregulation of the receptor amount

both actions indicating that one cause of these things is having too many serotonin receptors of certain types?

but theres probably versions of depression that are associated with other neurological issues, and those are the kinds where neither SSRIs or psychedelics would help

also yea psychosis and depersonalization/derealization r scary

remember 2 drink ur coffee xd

I've quit coffee since the breakup. Occasionally drinking tea, but not daily. Actually only reason i drink tea is because I like working / studying at starbucks and you know gotta buy something.

I might drink coffee in the future but not till i get a lot of stuff straightened out (when night classes I imagine it'll be required).

Caffeine fucks with my anxiety, and given its really bad lately I don't wanna antagonize it right now. When I can work on some methods on calming that down, I'll probably start drinking again. My anxiety isn't super bad but I wanna keep as many negative factors that are under my control down as possible

Sometimes i wish there was a really a "happy" pill not just antidepressant

alcohol doesn't really hold you well when you feel bleak and nihilistic as fuck

there are lots of happy drugs tbh

its just that pretty much all of them have questionable side effects and long term effects

but id count stims, psychedelics, and dissociatives all as more reliable happy drugs than alcohol

especially if youre an asian with the enzyme issue that makes your body convert it mostly to toxic acetylaldehyde
