Especially when they are so depressed they think that even god has left them

Agreed

Copa maybe you give us an update:

Like what have you been changing, what exercises have you been practicing? I should say what are you actively doing to change your negative frame of mind?

Depression is very much a dangerous disease. And I have noticed that a high proportion of religious folk suffer from depression.

You have a little statistics thing going in the back of your head? About depression being dangerous.... enlighten us. You surely posted for a reason.

7 hours sleep in 3 days? As someone who knows that sleep is one of the most pivotal aspects of dealing with depression (proper sleep cycles), I suspect all may simply appear to be okay on the surface and might bite you in the arse later down the line...

Oh, I shall crash and burn a little from the last couple of days, no doubt.

I have some major resting planned in the near future.
 
In the short run, sleep deprivation has an antidepressant effect for myself. In the long run, sleep deprivation makes me very depressed.
 
I hope copacetic is OK. I'm a bit worried.

Being positive is always a good thing and sometimes all that's needed but sometimes it's not enough.

I think he's better than ok if you follow his exploits in the other threads:)
 
Look, back to semi-serious business - The drugs can take a while to really purge from your system, so we shall just have to see how things pan out.

Truly though, I do feel as if there are the creaky mutterings of a delicious paradigm shift going on in my head.

Looking forward to what the future will bring. Never felt that way before, really. :)
 
yes but i hope you titrated your drugs down

this is great to hear bud, you seem so intelligent regarding the drugs affecting you and blah blah, what i can see is your mind shifting from that negative fking BS that we get given drugs for when all that is needed is a mind change :D

You go copa, rocking it like a boss bro and hopefully showing people that negativity should be classified as a disease.

Riax FFs for one second you are tuning cold turkey is the only way then you tuning copa he must water it down, dude you never have the same view point. it's always different like your job :D

So who was it again who was punting positivity as the only way to cure depression, and that antidepressants are placebos, then went to people who take pills are taking the easy cure, then went to CBT, then went to antidepressants might cause suicide, then went to some people need antidepressants.....:p

I'm sure you do, and if you had followed the thread you are responding to, you would know that I did not.

I couldnt follow the thread it went all retarded for awhile. So you argue with me about cold turkey on benzos, then dont titrate your antipsychotics >.< ?

1. I ever said it was cure for all types of depression, if you have been diagnosed in a proper manner by a system like cbt you may well need drugs and i have no issues with it, my issue is giving normal people who are negative and feeling low drugs when they need to rediscover how good life is.
2. Cannot recall saying anti depressants are placebo's
3. People taking meds because they are feeling low and negative are taking the easy route but it isn't their fault, it is the so called pro's making that cock up. CBT is a system that would be best, when your GP's are handing out drugs because the person has a few symptoms the system is flawed.
4. Suicide / thinking about it is listed as a side effect on majority of the meds dude. That isn't me it is a side effect.
5. I have never said people do not need meds regardless of their condition, the cock up there was we never spoke about the different kinds, all i ever said is with a flawed system you need to ensure you actually have the issue and your so called pro's and GP's have not given you drugs based on a conversation that lasted 15-40 minutes, CBT system is where people should start.

Start by looking at the way you think, why are you negative, why are you depressed then you can try positive energy, if it isn't working get your arse to cbt but i would stay away from GP's and even the other so called pro's who hand out drugs after one session.
 
Whenever I see the shades cool guy icon next to the thread title I have to do a double take.

Without getting into another ten page argument...

Yes, indeed, I argued with you about cold-turkeying benzos, because that is a dangerous and incredibly daft manner in which to quit that particular class of drug.

No, I did not not taper my dose of anti-psychotics, as I have never used an anti-psychotic medication in my life.

On the other hand, I did stop my antidepressant medication rather suddenly, which, while not a great idea (as I mentioned in the thread), is something I had been forced to do in the past, so I knew precisely what to expect, and was able to handle it.

It is most certainly not something I would recommend to anyone coming off this medication normally, which is why I was at pains to make it clear that it is not a good plan to do so.

In fact they are the strongest and bravest people you're likely to find. Not only do they have to confront their crippling illness, prejudice, stigma and abuse but also work and support their families. Often a battle they fight alone.

Absolutely! Not many people get that :)
