Ego stops us having a fullfilling life
Humans are the only species on the planet with an ego, its a curse

I wonder this all the time as well and come up with no answers.

i wonder if hitler, caesar, napoleon, stalin type of people figured it all out or were they also just bags of biological material floating around without finding answers to the big questions

Unless you prefer to not go into the details, what medications were you on for your depression and at what dose?

Also, did you get weaned off the medications slowly or did you abruptly discontinue their use?

Sending positive vibes your way brother,

That is the most accurate description of existence I have ever read.

Damn Brother, I totally empathise my mind is like that only boiling over red at times.
Finding it very difficult to tolerate 'woke' 'Leftist Twats' ' Men pretending to be women & vice versa'
'Muslims' 'Dindus' I have serious rage & want to eliminate them all - Aaaaahh😊

The mental heath psychiatrist is a Khvnt & useless about as much use as an old brown shoe.

I`ve been off all of mine for a long time as well...they suck IMO.

Been on meds since 1998 or longer...............bei ng able not to feel, or being zombiefied is no way to live.

Even been to shrinks since I was 13 years old......sorry,honestly not trying to hijack the thread ala Matt C.,just letting you know I`ve been there and still am.

Lousy advice,but the best I can give is attempt to stay busy,keep training no matter how shitty you feel, and never throw away your Diazapam.....those fuckers keep me from murdering people.

If you need to vent,or whatever else,PM me anytime brother.

I hear what you are saying, SSRI's are serious flatline weirdness. I had (still have if needed) a really good psych that wanted me off them and did good work (at least it seems that way). If you can find a good psych to help it is a lot easier than feeling dizzy and spinny all the time, and a bit confused, and better than being numb. Hard to believe that just talking to the the right person (and paying SHITLOADS for it) can help so much. I was never a believer, my approach was always: give me the drugs

citalopram 30mgs
mirtazapine 15mgs

Just stopped, last dose 3th November, was OK for 4 weeks, must be out my system by now

Probably should have tapered off but I am where I am

Without my therapist I`d be in the nuthouse or in the slammer.

You have to vent and unload your problems/issues.

When I walk out of her office I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of me.

chimps and gorillas  have ego too

Not in the same way humans do

I realize you have probably done this but have you looked into talking with a professional? Depression is tough man, I’m sure it doesn’t mean much but I’m praying for you.

Yeah I figured you had, good for you, I know many people who won’t talk to anyone.

[Lartinos]

Have you tried sauna or cold plunging in tough moments?

If you don’t like that I suggest some Wim Hof etc type breathing.

I think you speak a lot of truth about ego which is over most people’s heads and you are a smart guy.

Dwelling on the negative though is a self fulfilling prophecy and a bad habit.

My ego has caused me more trouble than I could name.

It also caused me to tell my job to fuck off in my late 20’s and I started my own business and I now haven’t woken up early or driven to work anywhere since.
