Hello. Does anyone else suffer from poor mental health? I've been for a long time. My friend was over, but when he left I started feeling depressed, and anxious. I am not always this way. Some days are very bad, and others no problem. I don't see friends a lot because I don't have many friends. I just wondering if anyone else is suffering because sometimes it's really tough.

I do get bouts of bad depression. Most times I can push my way through it as I do need to get up to go to work every weekday. Sometimes I try not to think of how tough things are, but sometimes the feelings and notions do get to be too much.
I also don't have many real life friends. I do count my spouse as one of them, but even they know I can count on one hand how many real life friends I'm willing to see (there's really just one right now). All my other friends are online.
With an aunt and an uncle passing away within literal days of each other recently, me looking at my aging parents worrying about them and their states, looking at my own situation and if I can even shoulder the notion of taking care of them, my co-workers getting covid left and right, prices rising while my pay isn't, and everything else going on in the world ... while constantly battling my own inner doubts and demons....
Yeah. Some days it gets really rough to want to get up. To not feel anxious or depressed. Sometimes I get to feeling depressed about absolutely nothing cause my brain isn't kicking out enough serotonin and I just want to lay in bed all day and do nothing.
Places like FRC, watching anime, gaming on the Playstation, reading manga/manwa/comicbooks, reading fantasy/sci-fy, or doing my own writing ... I got a lot of coping mechanisms. They give me that happy boost I need when I just can't churn it out through other ways.
It's a constant battle so, yeah, you're not alone.

I do as well. In these last nine months, I have had things hit me like a runaway train. I am glad I have my husband as my main support.
I turn to creative matters to help bring light to the dark spots. These dark spots have been a reason my appearance in game has been scarce though I am making progress
It helps to have some sort of reach out. Recognizing you have this first major step.
There has been a huge change in the way medication is now dispensed. More tailored than one pill heals all. If you are taking medications, please monitor your symptoms.
Cliche as they are the various crisis help lines and suicide prevention are numbers you should have close.
Remember to breathe and take one day at a time

Nothing a 30 pack or bottle and bud cannot fix. Depression is some hella *bovine manure*. But gotta take time. sit to yourself and be with them demons and make them your Bitch. When im feeling depressed I usually get some shrooms leave civilization and commune with nature. works like literally all the time.

Alcohol and depression can be a nasty combination if there is too much. A catch 22. I am saying those who are depressed should never have a drink , I am not. Depression for some can make you feel vulnerable.
Drink and food can bring temporary comfort as they can remind people of happier times maybe with family. Even herb and shrooms must not be overused and should be researched.
You should also do your homework in regards to prescription drugs.

I'v got plenty of research on natural remedies. trial and error. Just because shrooms scares some does not mean it does not fix depression.

Psilocybin is illegal in many countries.
Please keep this discussion within boundaries of legality. Thank you.

Bad mental health is fat more common on this server than many believe. As with society at large people don't tend to talk about it. And suffer in silence. And usually when it's talked about, you get well-meaning outsiders who have the weirdest ideas what helps.
My explanation to some of the "be happy" suggestions is to tell people that this is as physical in our brains, as a broken leg. And you wouldn't tell a person with a broken leg to "just start walking as if nothing happened" , or whatever other opinions people give.
I've been there at least twice myself (twice diagnosed). Currently I'm good.
