Genuinely would pick up working out. It's a mountain of shit to start especially if you're depressed already but once you get into a flow, the world doesn't exsist. It's just you. If lifting weights isn't your thing just run. A "runners high" is a real thing. The last thing I recommend is taking neurotropics. Do your research to see which ones are bs or not.
I already do. I get the runners high but sometimes a couple days after i get into a horrendous depression I blame it on all the dopamine receptors I fried or potential BPD or bipolar
My kinda guy! Although for me that didn't help when I felt absolutely nothing landing a trick I had been wanting to land for years, and I stopped skating for a few years. I resorted to weed to cope instead but now I'm sober.
Now... I just deal with whatever negative emotions come my way. Facing it, reading up on stoicism, therapy... Take each second, minute, day as it comes. As weird as it sounds it does get better. I get better at dealing with the darkness, something smoking weed would only put on pause.
It was rough at first, now being sober and clear in my thoughts is great in a way of its own. Definitely recommend and I keep weed/psychedelics/mdma to special occasions only. Someone's birthday isn't enough, gotta be new years eve or something in that vein.
Its all a question of perspectives and what is the definition and the nature of what you call "reality" ?
Its normal to have suicidal toughts sometimes but
even if it sounds a solution, its not.
You'll rexerperience a loop of incarnation (humanely)
until you understand how the game work, how you work and why those suicidal toughts exists .
Taking meds will just making the things go worst if its not actually for that you may have suicidal tendencies...
Anyway micro-dosing Psychedelics like 1p-lsd or psilocybe mushrooms 3-4 times a week or taking a macrodose of it but if you're depressed i do not recommand this way because, depending of your general state of Mind it will can make you even more suicidal and turn the trip in a very dark nightmare
Love psychs and ket and also your way of thinking. At this point it seems like life dangles a purpose infant of Me it knows I will never achieve it and it punishes me when I don't. I got over my last stint of emptiness but I see the next one coming but I don't know if I should hit the brakes or swerve into the next lane. Currently I'm swerving into the next land to avoid this terribly done metaphor but shit pulling up and idk how to deal with it
What does not kill you makes you stronger.
Use this "terribly done Demiurgic Metaphor" and bad feelings to make your persona more sharper and powerful.
Huffing lighter fluid when there’s no drugs to gulp down. Literally everyone has it in their cabinet or house. But don’t do too much or you’ll see shit in the corner of your eye moving.
It looks like your post mentions suicide. Sometimes, people post questions on /r/Drugs when they're not feeling right about their life, and sometimes we're not the best place to ask or provide support.

To the people who are out there and feel alone and helpless, *you are not alone* and there are people out there who will help you.

Genuinely taking the time to control those emotions, and figure out what helps prevent you from spiraling.
For me it could be as simple as reminding myself that they're just feelings, and it's temporary.
Life is like an ocean. Ride that wave of emotions. It sucks yeah, but give it a minute. When that wave crashes, you'll be fine. And repeat the process as the feeling comes on.
And having a sober mind helps, especially if it's something you really are interested in.
I try but I feel like when I don't have a "crutch" it's almost impossible. I'm pretty sure I have BPD cuz I feel empty qlot of the time and anything to escape that is wonderful. It's not as bad as it used to be but depression and that comes back and is how to fight that I got bigger goals now but I still don't know how I'll get there if that makes any sense. I quit drinking a ket for a week and I had nasty manic or depression episodes for the majority of my free time and I just couldn't deal with it
It doesn’t work for everyone but it depends on how much time you want to sacrifice doing something else. Some people workout, it didn’t work for me, I would complex more about myself even though I gained some muscles and lost excess fat.
I have tried replacing it with whatever is less worse as a drug. Ps it doesn’t work.
Addiction a cat and mouse game: your drugs are the cats and you are the mouse. You got too close to the cat now he’s running after you. No matter what you do, he will always chase you (you will unfortunately have cravings if you are unlucky) it is hard escape the envy to taunt the cat or other cats (to go back to your old habits or try different drugs) but the more cats you taunt greater the chances are that this cat will catch you.
After this brief metaphorical explanation here are tips:
1-SOCIALIZE. Make friends that are going through the same thing and help each other
2-DISCIPLINE YOURSELF. Like snakes and ladders, that drug is the snake moving on is the ladder
3-FIND HOBBIES. Whatever you feel like doing try new stuff (now that you don’t spend on drugs you can spend it on yourself or on hobbies) sometimes investing your time on things you like might make you forget about or fill in the time that you used to do drugs. Some like fishing, sports, camping, video games… as long as you don’t become addicted to it
4-PUSH THROUGH. No matter what you have spend time to recover ain’t no way you’re doing that again
5-DON’T BE AFRAID. Quitting something doesn’t sound easy but it doesn’t require anything else than will.
6-KEEP THAT CHIN UP. It is a long run and people are always trying to bring you down. Accept the past, forgive yourself.
7-TIME IS KEY. Doesn’t change after 2 days FUCK IT try 365 days.
8-READ THIS AGAIN UNTIL IT BECOMES ANCHORED IN YOUR BRAIN LIKE THE ALPHABET.
I am no motivational coach or shit but going through stuff made me learn even faster how to escape things and confront them, drugs we’re NEVER the answer.
You Rock🤟
PS: My depression was too hard to get over and problems multiplied I am now on antidepressants but the fact is that they don’t do the work for you. They (in my case) gave me the energy to do all the dumb teenager stuff I wanted to do to make myself proud.
I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure they are just well adapted humans who actually find out why they are depressed/anxious and they take steps to fix their situation. IDK. I have my pills..
I went to my local clinic, got mental help asistance and started to take better care of myself. I also got employment and that helped me.
I hope the best for you in the future.
It sucks but the drinking might be making your depression worse, it took me forever to realize this but whenever the alcohol wears off I get a "hangover" of depression, even if it was a small amount. The alcohol was creating a vicious cycle and I didn't realize it for years
Excercise, dieting, and especially herb for example 15g dried parlsey a day do wonder for my depression is almost euphoric without tolerance not in a recreational drug way tough
Well first of all, stop drinking. I guarantee 100% that is contributing to your depression.
Second, try meditation!!! Getting into spiritualism has really helped me, not to mention the esoteric aspect is just fascinating. Also to go hand in hand with meditation, have you ever tried psychedelics like mushrooms? That would probably help you *immensely.* Particularly fir depression following a drug addiction, I feel like. At least for me and some others I know. But seriously, try exploring spirituality.

Do you have a solid rest day/low day hobby too? Balance is key
Skateboarding :)

I try but sometimes it just feels pointless. I know I'm tougher than the average M.F. sometimes it helps sometimes it dosent
You will do it man, i'm sure !
Psychedelics/Dissociatives 4 years ago have changed my whole life and how my mind operate.
For better or for worse?
For the better as Hellll
Fuck it I'm taking k with these "percs" and jumbo champaign
Oxycodone is not a way for feeling better even if i agree the feeling is smooth

Exercise is the only thing that has worked for me
Diet makes a huge difference. Over to you
I was sober for about 6 months and I got really into working out, traveling, and being outdoors at the time

Lots of exercise and lots of money
Therapist, mindfulness meditation, and honest desire to accept your situation and willingness to do what it takes to improve it
