Hopeless, Helpless - Depression

Don’t give up your streak. We may be depressed or angry but at least we can have that streak up our sleeve. That’s something. Having 0 days over and over amplifies the low feelings we have.

 

This is just a general point of interest to file in the back of your mind, but WHEN you take medication may be very significant. Unfortunately I don't think they have done much research into this for mental health, I know they have done some for cancer treatment, maximizing the effect of chemo and stuff but overall circadian based understanding is largely neglected and considered too technical.

I think it's just more complicated, and it would take a good clinician to help you figure it out. A lot of times people are all up in arms about how cures has to be proven, well first of all it assumes there is a single cure when it may need to be a lot of things, and secondly if you only demand that then more complicated stuff will probably not be statistically proven in your lifetime and even if it is, people probably won't be able to parse out the proof because the whole mindset is looking for an easy answer in the first place.

That's why I say you may need to take an active part in learning about it and changing your lifestyle whether it's diet, exercise or whatever, and that they may help you figure it out, maybe a BIG help even, but not totally figure it out for you. If nothing else they cannot walk around and observe you 24/7, but you can track that data yourself from day to day and collect the information needed.

 

well clonazepam is a benzo. It works right away. And, yeah, it’ll make you feel good but it’s addictive.

 

Gracias....
