Wow, you guys are fuckin amazing people, wish I joined SLAP sooner. I really appreciate all the tips/advice!!!
Slap is full of alcoholics, the unemployable, angry loners...we know a thing or two about being unhappy.
Some of these replies are hilarious. Bawtawd cautioning against taking medications prescribed by a doctor (admittedly not completely bad advice in all circumstances), but deep web research chemicals are totally cool though.
Also, the single redeeming thing about anti-depressants that you can cite, is the fact that Jordan fucking Peterson takes them? Yeah it would really be too bad if that jackass was too depressed, to have the energy to write about how human society should be structured more like lobster hierarchies.
All the advice about exercising, meditation, proper sleep and diet, etc... are solid tips for sure, and would be helpful to a degree, but are often insufficient for people dealing with serious mental health problems. Not accusing anybody here of doing this exactly (it's really cool that people are giving positive input), but for me personally, I've definitely been in situations where my friends think they're being helpful by telling me stuff like that, but it comes off as them being dismissive, or at least ignorant, of just how difficult dealing with mental health issues can be.
I go to a therapist as well, but don't tell most of my friends that. It's dumb, cause I don't judge others for it, but that's one thing I'm embarrassed about. Definitely good to have an objective outsider to give you a different perspective on things, and it's helped my communication skills as well.
Speaking of Kalis, hasn't he discussed going to therapy in a couple interviews? That's actually really cool for a guy like that to be that open about it, somebody text him and tell him to get in this thread.
