[SRS] Depression Discussion and Support Thread Part III

[hidingwithmusic]

Now that my depression is going away and I'm becoming normal, I'm more motivated now than I've been in many years for a successful career. I've been faced with the blues since the 2nd grade and it not only took a toll on my mental health but has also given me unexplained back problems as well. The parnate is slowly fixing my back to normal and soon I can work and I'll no longer need social security benefits! It's a very bad time to start looking for jobs during the covid19 pandemic which put us in high unemployment. I'm looking to enroll in a 7 month welding class at my local technical college and after I graduate have a job program find me work. We have plenty of welding jobs in my state here in Louisiana... a shortage of them.... I want to become certified as a Welding Inspector in 2 years and then bust my ass for 4 or 5 more and take off time to finish my management degree at LSU so I can be considered faster for promotions and working for more money.

Parnate is the best drug I've ever taken and the diet restrictions are overblown! I still eat the same diet as before with the only problem i have come across is a headache at times.. only 4 weeks ago i was disabled in bed, unhappy, hopeless, and suicidal to now becoming the me again that family and friends grew to know! Consider it, guys! Especially all of you who are Treatment Resistant Depressed!!!

really frustrated. Only thing I look forward to is seeing an overpriced escort crush. I can't afford her. I miss my oneitis. I'm socially awkward and shy and therapists literally just tell me to go talk to people when or go to a bar or use dating apps (rofl) when I can't. I'm not a social guy man. I just want a woman.

And getting really annoyed at these incel stock conversations like GME. I don't care man. And my sister acts just like me but she life mogs me so hard because she has a vagina. It's really unfair and I'm frustrated to no end.

how come the only thing that makes me happy is getting attention from hot girls?

[CarlyRaeJepsen]

Day 5 on Effexor. Not sure if side effects or trending towards mania...

Limp dick and intermittent euphoria. Gonna enjoy the latter until my next psych appointment.

lost interest in life. Could easily drift off if i wasnt so attached to my parents. they give me too much love and now im codependent

[imbored21]

legit cant think of a single thing i want to
do

[eod8989]

I haven't posted itt in weeks because i don't know what to say anymore. I have an issue where my mind has put up a defense against people because they are so predictable and just talk about the same things over and over. I tried for years to talk and meet people but it's impossible now days. I can't put all of this energy into socializing just to talk about stuff idc about like netflix food and work. I just go to work to do my job and don't want any drama. And i don't want to talk about the same things every day.

People don't even have personalities anymore either. The only people who even talk to me or seem cool are like 50 year olds but they all mog me socially and are managers and ****. Idk what to do.

[Merc009]

Anyone have days where you are just really uncomfortable and just want to sleep because being awake just makes you anxious?

I am literally not at peace with my mind, I feel like this will develop into something worse when Im older

[imbored21]

[Nocturne808]

Hi guys, been a while since I posted in this thread... so I'll keep it short.

I went from being suicidal to almost completely cured (I'm hesitant to say 'completely cured').

And what is my secret?.... I am going to say that … Low dose ketamine is 90% what helped me... the other 10% were down to changes in social and environmental circumstances... i.e. new relationship redecorating my place with bright colors and nautical themes.

If anyone has any Qs, please don't hesitate to ask, I went from having no hope and being on suicide watch to thriving and having a sense of purpose again.

Also, for all the brothers who are struggling with having no-one to relate to, I would be up for having a zoom call once or twice a week with anyone who wants to... but take into account that I'm on Greenwich mean time here in Northern Ireland so +5hr time difference.

Be a good idea for other guys to do zoom calls too... its commonplace now with this lockdown.

It was like magic for me too but it seems to be losing effectiveness lately. I think it's been about 6 months or so

I take ketamine once a week and have been for the past 4 or 5 months. So far, no negative side effects only positive. The positive effects can be noticed right away, but the effects are also cumulative, so the longer you stay on the regimen the better the the healing effect.

i didnt find relief with ketamine. i found myself just going back to get high. only thing that significantly helped my mental health was having an attractive supportive woman in my life that goes out of her way to make me feel good about myself. :/

What way did you take the ketamine?

What was the method of administration, how often and for how long?

I did 6 infusions 75mg IV'd (i'm 125lbs). It was a potent dose. I went to outerspace and couldn't feel my body at all. I got tremors and was knocked out the next 3 days after my first dose. Each session was about 45 minutes and I did it 1-2/week.

Then I got oral ketamine for maintenance and was supposed to take I think 100mg sublingually but I just yolo'd 600mg sublingually twice and ran out.

[imbored21]

Everyone at work was talking about partying, bars, superbowl and laughing. I was just working quietly while they were all hanging out having a good time. Feel really bad. I'm just too weird to make friends. I don't fit in. These conversations bore me and I've never met people I could be myself around.

Same but normies always talk about the same things. There is no way to have a different convo with them. They just follow whatever is trendy or popular

Lmao. Wish I was there for those 600s. You probably went full robot limbs

IDK how much actually gets absorbed and if i was doing it right. It tasted like **** and it absorbs really slowly. It was less potent than the infusions where I actually felt my soul leaving my body

Oral is a horrible ROA to be sure but I figured that dosage would have made up for it. I know it's terrible for your kidneys/liver/organs.

those doctors convinced you to try ketamine because of your social anxiety issues? that treatment is meant for people with crippling depression that interfere with living. they stole your money!

have you considered parnate? It's a great anxiety drug too. I'm as social as the guy I was in highschool and I have went years without having a single friend... hell, I wasn't even leaving the house!

I don't think you should write off low dose ketamine just yet... especially if you didn't follow the program...

Sublingual is useless imo, as you end up swallowing most of it in your saliva and it will get filtered and destroyed by your liver before it gets a chance to get into your bloodstream.

If you get ketamine at home, it is best taken intranasally... think about it... why do people who do coke, snort it and not stick in their mouth? …. because they aint going to waste their money, they know that snorting works much better with very little wasted.

Low dose Ketamine, if done correctly, is much safer and far fewer sided effects than most psyche meds available on prescription.
