my anti-depressants are starting to fail after 4 years. please help. please clap. I hate feeling the real world. it’s horrible.
Not sure what to tell you… I hope you manage to cope.
I’ve never taken anti-depressants, but what I can tell you is that diet, exercise, and social interaction are necessary for good mood. I know you’ve probably heard this a million times and maybe even tried it a million times, but if you feel things are really going down the drain then consider going out for a run in the park, look at some happy families or ducks in a pond, and eat a nice meal (I recommend something like stir-fried veggie mix with potato mash, it’s my favorite thing in the whole wide world).
The world is a terrible place, yes, but there’s great things in the world. Like ducks in a pond, as mentioned previously, or good anime and MF DOOM. MF DOOM is dead actually, but his music persists!
I feel like this kind of advice doesn’t get given enough cause it’s “cliche” or feels like telling someone to “touch grass”, but these things do wonders for your mental health. Sunlight, physical contact, just smiling at shit, all great.
None of this can immediately fix a depressive episode, but it does add up.
I know this is like the last shit you wanna do with anxiety but if you can manage, please do.
