I just found some Life Pro Tips post about mental health.
Fucking Reddit is the single most miserable ass website EVER. People just keep praising each other for not trying to do anything for themselves and it fucks me up.
I have my issues. I'm not talking out of my ass. I used to have this phase of multiple panic attacks a day, sometimes like every couple hours.
Those fucks are such lazy, miserable cunts who even encourage shitty, unhealthy behaviour. They claim they have no energy to do anything the first moment it feels hard, but then they bitch and moan about not getting free therapy indefinitely and not getting enough pills.
They seem to love pills so much and talking each other into getting hooked on them.
But you encourage people to go out for fucking walks? NO, NOT ON MY WATCH, HITLER. They yell at you if you encourage someone unwell to eat better, to get creative hobbies, to develop good habits. They just say it doesn't work.
Maybe it doesn't work because they don't want it to work. They will their own selves to be fucking unhappy.
This was a rant and probably random as shit, but I am baffled when people actively make each other feel worse like this.
Too many people never physically create things, even though it's super satisfying. Especially the typical Reddit user, "intellectual" types, aka people who work in offices and live in big cities.
I saw some of them trying to convince each other how pills that make you feel absolutely dead are good and you just need to take them longer. They complained about being exhausted, drained, unmotivated, etc., but it's totes working. It made them unable to concentrate, some even said they can't work. But it must be working, y'all.
It reminds me of when vegans say hair loss, teeth just falling out and a loss of your period just means your body is detoxing.
Oh yea I started off that way, too: purely office type work and wanting to live in big cities. The older I got the more I realized that that 's soul-crushing and depressing. I've been starting a lot of more constructive hobbies like DIY and various crafts over the years, and staying away from big cities.
I got lucky and never went down the pills route. A cousin of mine did and it made her miserable. IMHO all pills do is numb you to the point where you can't even be bothered to jump in front of a train. That's it. They're not going to help you get better. At best they keep you from getting worse by turning you into a zombie.
I’ve been taking anti-depressants for years, but I’ve told my psychiatrist that I want to get off them. If you miss a day of taking the pills it makes you feel like absolute shit (I.e severe headaches/dizziness), and I HATE that dependency. I’m genuinely afraid that these pills are going to potentially have long term repercussions such as Alzheimer’s when I get older.
