So, I have depression, I start getting depressed again after stopping medications.
Then my mother was like "Must be the evil spirits" and "You don't need medicine, you need an amulet to stop the evil spirits"

No amount of scientific evidence can fix generations of stupidity and possibly lead poisoning...
This is why the world is so fucked.
Sure, let me have my mental illness back, thank you.

Sounds like it runs in the family
Is there a gene somewhere that just add so much chaos? My older brother is a bigoted piece of shit. Like this just cannot be a coincidence.
Its either something genetic, or maybe lead poisoning.
I'm honestly starting to doubt if this is even real. Like maybe I'm on some twisted Truman Show or something and everything is part of a script. But then, this exact belief could another sign of "mental illness", assuming if this reality is real. I dont fucking know anymore. Lemmy could be all bots. π€
Itβs never really one thing. Always a myriad of variables that make people what they are.
But I will say, depression is not a disease in and of itself. It is a symptom of a larger problem. Till you can figure out what that problem is in you, you will forever be on SSRIs and tricyclics till the end of your days.
