For many years I've had depression in one form or another. Sometimes it's very mild and other times it's debilitating. There's a part of me that refuses to believe it,that if I give into it I'll be consumed by it.
I think "I'm not that bad,other people are a lot worse." I've seen my Doctor before when I've been suicidal and he offers me antidepressants and counselling. I've had the counselling but refused the antidepressants,which my Doctor finds strange,he says "you self medicate all the time with dangerous drugs,so why not use medicines that I can prescribe?"
I've been prescribed opiates and benzodiazepines before and know how addicting they are. Part of me thinks if I were to use antidepressants that I would never know true happiness again. Sometimes I feel "normal" and function fine so I know that it's possible to still be happy,but when the depression comes,which is 65% of the time,it's awful and using certain drugs in rotation helps for a time.
The best fast acting drug for shifting negative energy has to be the arylcyclohexylamines,then its various psychedelics used in the right setting. I think these drugs are better than prescription ones as you don't have to take them every day. I found relief in Kratom for a short period and opiates,but as we all know they're seriously addictive,but I'd rather take Kratom over the prescribed buprenorphine I was on.
I'm thinking of the last time I was truly happy and that was when I stopped drugs for about a year and got into fitness training. I was using oral designer steroids though,so I suppose that's a drug. I think I'll have to stop using everything to be really happy and myself again,if possible.
What do you do and how do you cope with your depression? Did you have depression before using drugs or has it manifested since?
