I got PTSD but I've just been rawdogging it most of my life, however I think it's starting to catch up to me and these past years my anxiety have been so bad I'm starting to disassociate and it's really rought. I know you should try to stay away from SSRI's and my doctor told me I could try Mirtazapine, but I've never used this stuff and I'm terrified it's gonna kill my gains and routine, and in turn me into a fat lazy zombie with no hair or soul in me
just forget about it lol
Try NAC. 600mg morning and evening. I didn't associate it at all with mental health art first. Used to sleep only 4-5 hours, typically woke up drenched in sweat. PTSD made good sleep impossible for years. That's mostly fixed. More even temperament, feel like I'm smarter. The only reason I split the dose is that it gives me diarrhea if I take it all at once. It's a mucolytic so it will clean out the mucous lining of your stomach. Helps clear lung congestion if you have any of that. Research what you need to take to support NAC, I think you should also take magnesium and others. It works. Keep your head up
>>77244203Don't drink alcohol.
>>77244479I don't
>>77244203You can go off it if the side effects get too bad, you just have to taper it down in that case.
>>77244203you want to permanently alter your brain chemistry and cause even more irrecoverable damage? do you have any idea how fucked up “medication” is? not even once. never do it.
>>77244556>you want to permanently alter your brain chemistryIs that even true? You're not even suppose to be on these medications for long periods of time

>>77244203I started antipsychotics and SSRI's 3 weeks ago. Anxiety and depression had been getting worse over a period of ~4/5 years, with a sharper decline at near the end of 2024.I had acknowledged I needed liftstyle changes, so I lost 25kg, started socializing more, and began some extracurriculars. While they might have delayed the decline they didn't reverse it, so I looked into meds instead.I've found two main effects from this. Physically, I am in less pain than before. Previously, at the end of each workday, my torso would feel like it's been bound in steel cables everything was so tight, which had knock-on effects to my fitness and health. Gym is now much easier, despite being on a deficit, and for the first time in years I am able and motivated to socialise.Every time my mind drifted to particular topics, my brain would "wince" and I would pull away. I would try to calm my head by drinking or mindless consumption. If my brain wasn't occupied that was just opportunity for anxiety to creep it. I still have that, to a smaller degree, but it's like the sharp edges have been filed off. I still find the thoughts unpleasant, but things are blunted.Side-effects wise, I dealt with a degree of brainfog for the first week, along with some fatigue and nausea. All side effects have since abated.Pic related, a screenshot of my observations
>>77244203didn't save him.
>>77244203Don’t take them, also ptsd isn’t real and this is coming from someone who got to experience what being harassed by feds feels like.
>>77244795antipsychotics are the worst and most harmful drugthe fuck you doingthey *actually* destroy the brain
>>77245182>>77246206>>77244795Not OP but I have suffered with anxiety and depression since I was 18. At 22 I took Zoloft for 6 months but since then (I’m 34 now) I have been rawdogging life and I’m lucky to be alive desu. My biggest improvements were getting a good gf until the rough break up (had her from 22 to 28 but she cheated). Then at 28 I found another gf and I had her for 3 years until 2022 when I was 30. Then it was all downfall, I had a few more gf’s that didn’t even hit like the last two but enough about the women. In 2024 I started being really blackpilled and worn out from all the stress of the last years, I even repent and turned to Jesus but right now I’m at a dark spot where everything feels meaningless and that there is nothing left to do. I work gigs on the weekend which is good but week days are literal hell. I just edit a little bit on pc then I go lift and after that there’s literally nothing to do. I feel that I’m at the worse spot of my life right now despite doing ok financially business wise. Lastly I had 2 close friends who helped me during 2021-2025 but now I barely see them, one was the orthodox guy who was alpha as fuck and helped me pass through situations but he was psychotic as fuck and my other friend is so deep in the blackpill that he can’t even enjoy the simple things But yeah the worse thing right now is that I don’t have direction and the world is going to shit. Good luck OP
