What is this scan of the brain showing exactly?
I suffer from depression and anxiety disorder among some other garbage, been taking medication most of my life to make things tolerable. It would be hard to function without that. Talk of self-worth is largely unhelpful nonsense. The only realistic thing to do is to hate everybody else more than you do yourself. It works.
Well Sigma already answered that.
I'd rather feel indifferent towards everyone else. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.
I completely agree the meds do help with the dark thoughts and the like. Been taking Paroxetine, Trazodone and Vistaril for about 8 months now and I am dwelling a lot less on the s*** past and crap luck I've had tbh. But man I did not like it when I ran out of the Paroxetine and stopped cold turkey until I could afford to get them refilled after being laid off work again. That's the only down side of the meds imo, you have to wane off of them or else you'll suffer some hellish withdraw symptoms.
