poor guy just had depression. Just think if they had antidepressants back then, he might have had a completely different outlook on life.

serotonin is a hormone that promotes hibernation in animals and is even known to make them more obedient and trainable.
SSRIS don't make you happy, they just make you feel numb to the negative feelings so you can function.

you can say that about every philosopher or artist that ever lived and made melancholic work. it's a low effort response, you are taking refuge in an excuse instead of building an actual argument against what they said about the nature of the world and life.

I was on a small dose SSRI for about six months. It seemed to cause a general reduction in sensitivity of all types. My anxious nervousness was reduced, my ability to hear very small sounds was reduced, my moods were somewhat normalized.

When I decided all it was doing was causing a general deadening of nerves I stopped taking it. It was not hard to get off a small dose.

I lie, the real reason I stopped taking it is that my human spirit totally recoils from the idea that I must take a pill in order to have a boring life in an evil society.

I am unemployed, finances in shambles, hardly leave the house, but fuck man, at least I am me and not some pharmacologically reduced zoo animal.

He passed away happy unlike moustache man.

He concluded that life is worth living, and so he wrote essays on how to. Then he saw a very talented woman painter, and again concluded that women have the potential to surpass men if they isolate themselves from the crowd.

I'm the same but I'm trying to get on it so I can be functional. I quit porn and booze 10 months ago and have really come to understand thoughts and emotions and habits, through CBT basics but also core Buddhist teachings and meditation techniques. The issue remains that I have no will to do anything. There's no joy inside me, I feel nothing. Can't remember the last real emotion I felt. I was on an SSRI for a year on two separate occasions. Thinking back, I think Zoloft was better for me than Lexapro so I'll do Zoloft if I can get myself to see a doc. Thanks for reading my blog.

I thought that was quack shit, but like everything else I should take a look myself instead of rely on other's opinions. At or close to the core of it I think is a complete lack of self esteem. A foreign idea and feeling to me my whole life, or as far back as I can remember. Probably due to a combo of my dad's unrelenting overbearing personality, my sensitive autist nature, and a stutter.

>> No.22960272

>>22960255
Stutter itself is a symptom, not something that was wrong with you as a kid but a sign something was wrong with your childhood. Find a trained professional to help you as it's pretty difficult to go through the process yourself. Also people are quick to disregard Jung but the field itself has progressed quite a bit after him and I found great value in relational analysis. If you could find such a group to join, that would probably benefit you the most, after a year or two of individual therapy.

This is also why SSRI prescription is correlated moderately enough with suicide to warrant the official warning of new users; often, in addition to feelings of depression & anehedonia, they can also numb out natural feelings of death anxiety & mortality salience, & thereby remove an emotional deterrent preventing psychologically troubled people from killing themselves
