anti depressants

[dookie]

just found a pack in my dads drawer,

things kinda goin bad atm for him, wife left him, trouble with jobs n stuff

dunno what i aim to achieve from this thread but i just wana talk about it i guess

feeling pretty down

anyone else found/used em?

[yoshi]

no, never.

but uhh.. i don't think it's ashaming to use them or something like that. i guess many people use them nowadays, since it's all about job/money now. lack of time, struggling with family problems, school and work - we're all put under constant stress and for some people it might be just impossible to cope with it all at the same time.. i just think you should support your dad, since you said he's going through a lot of shit right now, so just try to do your best to make him feel better.

[dookie]

[yoshi]

^ oh.. well, you could just try to be casual.. you know, talk to him bout daily stuff, have a meal together, if he likes football, watch a game together.. normal dad-son relationship.. i don't really know what else you could do..

*uk laws, depressed is actually a condition you can get and you doctor gives you a sickline and you get sick pay and dont need to go to work, dunno bout US but thats how it works here*

for a while you think they2re good..but in a short time they get dangerous..people need better solutions..as the others said aot of people have been through alot of pains and alot of shits..just need something to stand for..and his family's support can be helpful..

I've never tried anti-depressants.
Alcohol and nicotine always work best for me

anti-depressants are for american kids that don't have id to buy alcohol or cigarettes.

Its a mental illness asshole, my dad has severe depression and has taken many anti-depressants over the 20 or so years hes had it for and none have really worked, he recently had an operation for it. (Yes, they now have an operation for depression)
Dont speak on shit when you have no fucking clue about it. My dad worked for 15 years without even knowing he was clinically depressed, he just figured most people felt like shit all the time just like him. After going to a doctor they couldnt believe he was even operating and getting thru everyday life. You can come back and say they convinced him he was sick cuz you're an ignorant fuck, but hes a fuckin' soldier for working through that as long as he did and I feel bad for the man everyday because its ruining his life. I dont expect you to understand it because you've never had it happen to you or anyone close to you, but dont speak on a subject you know nothing about. You're an opinionated asshole and usually I dont give a fuck about what you say because its so ridiculous all I can do is laugh at it but this one I take personally.

And to dookie, a lot of people go on them, you'd be shocked at how many. Most people just take them for a short period of time and are fine after that, dont feel bad. I'm actually on them, but not for depression for insomnia. To be honest they really make no difference in my mood, but I guess thats because I'm not depressed lol
