I can't stop

tis an anxiety med m'dear

[Howie Roary]

Everyone is always depressed

if they are, it's dysthymia

depression is episodic and related to a specific issue, dysthymia is a crappy outlook on life in general (semantics really)

[Titanss]

And doctors just cram meds down everyone throats for a cure, it only makes shit worse in the long run

tis an anxiety med m'dear

xanax, valium, ativan, or kolonopin?

[Sera]

meh i asked. i've been handling my anxiety sans meds for a very long time but it becomes problematic when all your energy goes into it and you don't have energy to deal with anything else. it takes a lot of concentration and resolve & sometimes that amount of commitment leaves no room for anything else

[Sera]

xanax, valium, ativan, or kolonopin?

no, it's a relatively new one.

[Sera]

i was on xanax for a while but that stuff was too much for me.

[Titanss]

I have anxiety too, but I think a script of xanax will just be worse in the long run

[Rhyis.]

Jerking off.

[Titanss]

I've thought about it tho, they were going to give it to me once but I never went back

[Titanss]

I think everyone has anxiety

[Sera]

mine only gets bad when i am worn thin -- like lots of new changes and stuff, once i get into a routine and things become more settled i'm able to focus on controlling it

but when i have to focus on other shit it kinda takes away from my ability to handle it. i'd say it isn't particularly bad when i can control it but when i am distracted or worn down it is pretty crippling

Maybe everyone's depressed because the world is a depressing place

[Howie Roary]

negative self-talk doesn't help

[Sera]

xanax was fuckin lights out for me, very bad


shit was pretty crazy powerful imo

[Sera]

well this one also deals with some neuropathic pain in my leg that i've been having for a couple of years so i guess just figured it was best to find one med to knock two things out.

[Sera]

Its cymbalta btw howie

[Greatguardian]

wake up, go to work, run the 9-5, pay yo bills, hope you got enough left over to live in relative comfort. spend your life running in place, doing nothing, changing nothing. watch everyone else around you doing the same damn thing. look at violence that just won't stop, look at hatred that just won't quit. see a world where people have forgotten how to dream, where hope is synonymous with naivete, and where the new way forward is ten steps back.

Yeah, shit's depressing.

[Howie Roary]

ah

I take cipralex for mine, got rid of that sorta burning ever present feeling in the chest that I associated with anxiety (as opposed to the heavy weight/pressure feeling from depression)

it's an anti-depressant which has shown success with anxiety as well

I've given it 6-8 weeks though and I think I'm gonna have to ditch it due to side effects

for depression I take buproprion (Wellbutrin™)
