Checkmate big Pharma, I’m a poster-pilled serotonin factory now. I’ve seized the memes of endorphin production and liberated myself from Capitalism. Posting is praxis and I’ll cry if anyone tells me otherwise, so you better not! You’d hate it. I’m a real ugly cryer.
never deleting my comments because i live by the post and will die by the postGetting downvotes on Reddit is almost as good as getting upvoted here
Yeah well I started taking meds and now I’m posting harder than ever, plus my dick still kinda works
Critical support. I dislike big pharma, but I love your posts, soooooooooo…
Aww thanks!
Gotta hop on that RBG workout between posts!
I have…thoughts…
well, you wanna post them?
Post or die, liberal.
This is an actionable threat*

*Just kidding! This is satire and I would never threaten my friends on this website, even if they’re libs
Posting is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I don’t want to go back on antidepressants but on the other hand I don’t think it’s normal to cry literally all day over my circumstances in life then come home and keep on crying
I could try to improve my circumstances but I am too busy being unable to stop crying
Sometimes, we need help. That’s okay and I don’t mean for this to be anything more than a shitpost. I do hear that when you find the right drug it can minimize side effects and really improve one’s life. Love and solidarity in your pursuit of mental health comrade.
Having another chain around my neck for my employer to yank should I misbehave is something I refuse to do again. I refuse to take on a financial burden that emotionally numbs me so I will be a more effective cog in the great machine. Make no mistake, I am suffering greatly but it has always been due to my circumstances. I don’t need chemical correction. I need community, companionship, affection, purpose, and meaning. I need love. I need a life worth living.
I want to feel my feelings now. Even if it hurts. I just want it to hurt less a bit.
Highly relatable and respectable. Looking back on my previous years of depression it was absolutely a product of my material circumstances and alienation. Drugs weren’t the answer, radically restructuring my life was. I’m lucky I was able to do so, many can’t.
Two things that have helped me see mental health meds better:
- The right combination of medications does not make it easier to cope. It makes coping less necessary in the first place.
- You’re not just supposed to be along for the ride when it comes to your emotions. Everyone is swept away by their emotions sometimes, but most people can experience their emotions without numbing them while still having a baseline of control over them.
Both of these things are helped by therapy and practicing new skills, but for me, neither of them would be possible without my meds
Pff, you need SSRIs for your dick to stop working? amateur
I just unfriended my ex on the socials so they wont have to hear me be a violent communist ever again
Good decision.
Mushrooms helped me a ton more than SSRIs, very recommended for depression and anxiety. Of course, research a bit before taking them, don’t just trust me. They are much less toxic than the opioids the doctors give you and have a better effect on you, with moderate to high improvement of depressive symptoms within a week. You can already find studies on psylocibin for depression, and I have tried it myself to confirm those studies too, they are great.
🍄 fan club meets every 8th day of the week. You can only get there when you’re tripping hard maaaaaaaannnnnn.
Shitposting aside - yes. Please do look into Ketamine/Shrooms as an option for hard to treat depression. They are wonderful, but need to be used responsibly.
I was just telling someone yesterday that I wish people would stop giving this advice because it can be pretty harmful for a lot of mentally ill people. I don’t even have psychosis but I’ll slip into dissociating if I’m not at least a little careful, and psych usage makes that much harder. in fact the last time I used one I had to go in to the hospital bc I couldn’t get my sense of reality back even after it wore off. I’m better at knowing what’s healthy for me now but back then I was definitely influenced by people constantly talking about how helpful and wholesome psychs are, and I still blame that whole scene for positioning itself as some kind of wiser authority on mental health when frankly you’re not taking these issues seriously.
That’s why I always say to research and not just trust me, for many people it can be a miracle cure, for others it can have negative effects, I also had some bad trips until I controlled more the dosage. All I can say is that I recommend researching about them. I understand your point and I’m sorry they had a negative impact on you, but if it weren’t for posts like these that spiked my curiosity for psychedelics, I wouldn’t have discovered the medicine that cured my depression.
Lets hope that these obscure bans on drugs get repealed for research and we start making actual science and medicine with these, because today’s capitalist rather have us addicted to opioids and sell us snake oil, and banning our cures, because that’s profitable.
Glad someone said it. A lot of people with mental illness do not benefit from mushrooms or other psychedelics and they only make their conditions far worse. I do have psychosis and mushrooms run a very high risk of causing me to develop full blown schizophrenia if I take them. They could potentially do permanent damage to a person if they aren’t careful. People often adopt the “it’s natural, therefore it is less harmful than the pills big pharma tries to use on us.” But just because something is safe for one person, doesn’t mean it is safe for another. I don’t think they are nearly as harmless as their enthusiasts claim. I’ve seen too many people fall into really dark patterns(and worse) due to them, despite claiming they are “more wise” and “their mind has been opened” thanks to psychedelics.
Agreed, I have definitely benefited a lot from psychedelics. Obviously you need to be careful with the dosage still, but it is much harder to od on.
I always wanted to try shrooms, but the people who I used to know who did it were complete shitheads who were just running from their feelings and ended up getting real burnt out real young (or just ODing on opioids and dying). I never try a new drug unless there’s someone I trust to sit with me who’s done it before. I would have been happy to drink or smoke weed with these people. I did it all the time. But I’m glad I never did psychedelics with them. I have a friend now who’s offered me some shroom tea. Maybe I should hit him up.
Yeah I know some of those people too, mushrooms can give you a really nice warming feeling of happiness, but as you said it has to be with people you trust. I went yesterday to the woods for a long walk while on mushrooms and I felt amazing, really connecting with nature and my feelings. I tried them alone the first time as I didnt know any friend who used them, but I spent 2 months looking for data to know if they were safe, what dosage, effects, etc.
What dosage? I’m also under SSRIs and suffer from anorgasmia…

Dont take mushroom with SSRIs or any other antidepressants, you need to wait 2 weeks or you might have side effects.
Oh ok thanks.
SSRI/SNRI’s will inhibit the effectiveness of shrooms. You’d have to wean off the pharma drugs and give your brain some time to adjust before starting shrooms. This can be pretty bad and risky if your depression is quite strong, so it’s best to do it all under consolation with your doctor.
I tried asking him about psylocybin and microdosing but he doesn’t agree with it all. So I’m kinda screwed :/
I don’t know your insurance/care situation, but it is possible to find Doctors who are more supportive. You’re entitled to change your provider and find someone that is willing to work with you. I don’t mean to say shop around until you find someone to just agree with you - but at least someone who has a less rigid position on the matter and is willing to discuss it in the context of your care.
SSRIs killed my libido for a couple of weeks. Was kind of nice though, seeing the world through an entirely non-horny lens.
Now my body has adapted to the levels and I’m back on my bullshit.
I tried do9ng this and got banned
“I should see a psychiatrist? Is that like a new website for shit posting? Now pass me the bottle Cody.”
im no longer on ssris im unproductively horny
Yeah I’m productive, I’m producing a lot of first messages on dating apps.
That counts as posting
I’m just always like that. Maybe I need to try ssris
All you need is the +2
it’s not the SNRIs that give you floppy disk
it’s the SNRIs plus blood pressure medication
I don’t take any blood pressure medication though.
it’s not the SNRIs that give you floppy disk
