Something is missing in your life. Not necessarily a physical thing but maybe something mental.

This is why you've got trapped in this vicious cycle. If you're strong enough, try to step out of this cycle and spectate on your life for a while.

On psychedelics you step out of this cycle and are more open and free. This realization can be achieved without drugs but you have to be strong. You will find it if you are ready. If you aren't ready now, then when will you be?

Also, I know this isn't a comfortable thought in your shoes but things could always be worse. You are here on earth and that's a fact. That's why you don't have time to be melancholical. What other possibility is there really?

If you choose psychedelics (which personally I have), then go into the trip with this mindset and you will find the missing puzzle in your life.

Just a thought.

I found a post on Reddit where some guy have strong clinical depression and every Sunday he took something like 1g powdered in a capsule and it completely fixes the symptoms of his depression. He said he saves almost 300$ a month not having to buy Cymbalta.

I haven't read through everyone else's post, but it seems to me like you're in your head a lot. Do you think of yourself as a more intelligent person? Do you think and overthink things all the time, maybe running through the ideas of what will happen next in your head? (especially in social situations) I think we're very similar judging by your brief description of yourself and I believe the answer is you aren't in your body. This sounds kind of weird and conflicted/counter-intuitive, but that's how it's been described to me.

I would recommend you check out this guy named Elliott Hulse on YouTube he has a lot of kind of out-there ideas, but if you listen to him he has a lot of great advice from EXPERIENCE, which is no doubt the best advice.

As for taking psychedelics to the point of tripping (not a tiny dose like the other guy mentioned above ^), I absolutely believe they could help you. Especially if you get to the point of an ego death and realize the beauty of who YOU are, the you that you don't know, the you that has been repressed through nervousness/subconscious anxiety for a lifetime.

I'm not making any promises, but I think experimenting with psychedelics would be absolutely worthwhile for you.

Hey man, really liked that video. What it said about seeing through your past memories really do make sense. I'm wondering... maybe there are some things that I simply "blocked off", but when I think about it, I really don't know what. Maybe at the time, I felt like it was only a "sad" moment. Maybe I didn't realize how bad it was and how much worse things could have gotten from that one event. I remembered I was telling myself that I wouldn't be sad and I'd just keep my head up and the next few days afterwards were days of me feeling like total shit. I felt so sad about things that that was when I first admitted to myself that I was clinically depressed. I didn't know about it that much at the time but... as days went on, I felt many symptoms of it. I didn't need to see a doctor to know that...

I dunno.

My depression isn't necessarily the depression where I feel sad, but it's where I feel numbness (anhedonia) and apathetic. I feel nothing with anyone and everyone. I feel no pleasure out of the activities I used to do, that includes music and all that.




I totally identify with your story. When I get depressed I don't get sad, but tired and apathetic, mostly dropping my social life and getting behind on work. I scored borderline clinically depressed and the doctor thought it would be better for me to adjust my work and relationship status than taking medication.

The depression went away after my first trip in May. Then I got a girlfriend in June and the feelings didn't return until we broke up early October. I think the current depression is normal end of relationship depression however.

There are studies indicating mushrooms positive effect on mood for 1.5 years or more post trip.




Yeah, hopefully your depression is just a case of the depression that everybody gets. It's normal to be sad, man. It's normal to be depressed for a week or so after some shit just happened, but to be depressed for months or even years, that's not cool at all.

And yeah, not depressed again, but apathetic, anhedonic, whatever you wanna call it.

Thanks!

Thanks man. Yeah, I'd like to say that "mental thing" are my emotions, thus causing me to feel depressed. But then again, maybe because I'm depressed that I don't feel any of my emotions.

Yeah, things could definitely be worse... But I think life is truly what you make out of it. If your brain is unable to enjoy life or feel emotions or happiness, along with being unable to feel pleasure, then yeah, life sucks. Even I'm alive, it doesn't mean much to me if my brain doesn't feel alive.

But that doesn't mean I don't want to continue on living. The reason why I'm even bothering to stay alive is because I feel that there's hope that things could always get better. I knew what it was like to feel good 2 years ago and years before that... so why wouldn't I be able to feel that feel again?

Sure, I might not go back to complete normal, but maybe I'll go back to being slightly normal with a bigger realization of life and what it really is. Especially when it comes to dealing with depression and stuff.

It's also hard for me to form a connection to another person. I mean, I could talk to them and all but I don't feel the emotions between us connect. I can't even feel connected to my own emotions. Thus, it's really hard for me to get a girlfriend like this... All the flirting I'm doing doesn't really feel like anything to me because I don't even feel the love. Eh.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll be sure to take a look around for him and prepare myself even more!
