How's your mental health, user? Are you taking care of yourself?
How's your mental health, user? Are you taking care of yourself?

Plummeting. Had my first ever panic attack a week ago. Got prescribed benzos but I'm trying to ride it out however I can. I think I have hypertension and it's making me go insane.
>giving hiro your shekels
shiggy diggy doo
I'm drowning my suicidal thoughts into whatever shit can stop me from thinking and repressing every emotion that arises in the process.
I also watch my body's condition slowly worsening as well as my physical shape.
In another 30 years my muscles will probably be shit and my kidneys will stop working.
I've been doing this since I was 13 and I'm now 25, gave up on having a decent life as well.
How am I?
>How am I?
dead :(
I feel you with getting old and watching your body decay, saddest thing ever. Why is it this generation tends to have all sort of fucked up health problems barely in their 20s and 30s? I think its a mix of being the last gen that didnt grow up in a "normal, healthy world" and the fact that food worldwide is shit nutrient wise because soil depletition
Aww, don't worry, anons. Life will get better, eventually. I'm rooting for all of you here. Don't give up, and focus on things that bring you joy.
Anxiety, panic attacks, depression, insomnia.
CBT therapy helps a lot. Almost free of the anxiety and panic attacks. Gonna start working on the depression next week.
It's totally worth it, I can hardly believe the difference
i hope youre right fren
are you on meds however
Nope. Just for sleep (propiomazin, melatonin and zopiklon)
My country don't prescribe benzos unless you have like, lost a child or something. Which is good benzos are literally satan and will ruin your life.
And I refuse to take SSRI's, I don't want all those side effects.
But therapy works great for me
Burned out af, but I keep on pushing. No other choice. I can't remember the last time I would consider myself happy. I have the need to run away from everything, but I can't (don't want to hurt my gf).
>zopiklon
isnt this like a benzo though? hows the melatonin?
It's "benzo like" but much milder in both effect and withdrawals, and I take 1/2 a pill for sleep, 1 melatonin and 2 propiomazin.
Melatonin work wonders for some. For me it only works if I'm already half asleep. My ADHD makes relaxing for bed extremely hard and sober I often go 48-72 hours before I basically faint. But in combination with the other 2 pills, I fall asleep in 30 min usually, and stay asleep for ~9 hours.
Melatonin hardly have any side effects, but for some reason it can be super expensive
Yes bro. I am trying to be responsible and rest well. Even on exams. Too many years of sleep deprivation.
I see. Yeah, melatonin might not be as effective for some but it's pretty much almost side effect free. I'm this user I spent like 3 days without sleep until my mini mental breakdown. Just didn't want to take benzos so I forced myself to sleep as hard as possible, but kept waking up just before falling asleep. Since then I've been able to fall asleep easily, but wake in 3 hours to pee minimally, then spend 4 hours trying to sleep until I fall asleep for another 2-3 hours. Seems my nervous system is still a bit hyper. Slowly getting better...
I'll give melatonin a try based on your post. Hope things work out for you fren.
idk user, I can't get anything done, I wanna drop out of uni and do something else, but I can't get anything done, whether coursework or otherwise, so idk what's gonna happen. I've et a lot of people down, and I'm probably gonna let them down even more in the future. I have no energy to do anything, idk why.
Social media is mostly people posting about how they're a victim of [insert something here] but they aren't doing anything to fix it; someone else needs to fix it for them. I'm sick and tired of this shit. The USA has completely driven the economy off a cliff.
Fortunately, I can still enjoy MMOs and the three B's of life: beers, blunts, and Brazzers.
I tried cock and ball torture once but it definitely didn’t help with my mental health issues. How are you even able to get results?
I died but i'm still alive.
Shit. I literally just left my job because my head's too fucked. I can't even manage to get out of bed anymore. Near the end now I feel
Hahahahahahaha.The endorphins work for some people bro. You are just unlucky ;)
Yeah insomnia sucks and if you have had it for your entire life you run very high risks of mental degeneration disorders like dementia and so on.
Propiomazine or anti histamines are basically side-effect free as well, and they might help you stay asleep.
The zopiklon is more of a "fall asleep pill" than a "stay asleep pill", it might actually make waking up in the middle of the night worse, so stay away from that if you can.
On another not, a weighted blanket can do wonders. I have one that's 10-12kg, I can't remember. But it truck's the body into releasing a ton of oxytocin, as if you where given a loving hug. This makes you very calm and a bit sleepy. Totally side effect free. I love it, it feels great. Oy downside is getting out of your cozy cocoon in the morning gets even harder haha. Oh and there are multiple types, depending on your need you might enjoy one with chains in it (my favourite), heavy fibers, sand or heavy plastic balls.
LOL
" Cognitive Behaviour Therapy"
Sounds like depression but could be anemia or ME. Get a blood test and talk to a doctor. There is help to get user
Kek true user, I've just started therapy so I'm hopeful for change. Thanks.
Oh yeah, melatonin user here again. If you have chronic insomnia, you might want to consider using nicotine gum or patches. Nicotine helps protect your brain from stuff like dementia. Don't do tobacco products though. That is basically poison. Just pure nicotine.
Good to hear mate. Hope you'll do alright. Therapy can be hard work, but it will get better, i promise
>Just pure nicotine.
Bro. Doesn't seem worth it. That stuff is addictive and fucks up your circulatory system. Maybe coffee does the jobv if you fail to stay awake during daytime work/study. I have heard coffee helps against dementia too and its packed with antioxidants and it is good for the liver.
Been getting worse honestly
Im lonely
I don't have issues staying awake, I can be up for days without sleep but that takes a toll on your neurons. I will read more about coffee but I know nicotine works very well as a neuron protector.
>Im lonely
Do you have anyone to talk with? That works wonders. My english is pretty bad, but I can send you my discord and we can talk when my exam week ends :P
