I don't get how people can become depressed, when we live in the century of Fentanyl, easy access to alcohol and amusement arcades.

One must be always drunk, that's all that matters.

But what with?

With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose.

But get drunk.

My dearest friend for the past 25 years became a drug addict. She died of an OD on Saturday. Left two young children with no parents. (Dad left years ago). I witnessed her spiral into addiction and destruction over the past 2 years. I couldn’t stop it. I tried.

If you want to become an addicted to something, please try masturbation or video games.

if you think drug euphorias are high.

Just wait until you find out what the lows are like.

Sounds expensive lol

Man, I've been tempted. I've started saying I'd try a drug if it was ever offered, because I'm too much of a coward to figure out how to get it myself. I have an additive personality, so I know it would kill me and, honestly, I'm fine with that.

Try a new sport! Like drunk driving

Randomly read a click bait article the other day on "How famous people died". The older ones were alcohol + drug prescription overdose, while the newer ones were fentanyl + cocaine + alcohol.

Remember people, stay hydrated! Drink your drugs with water like you're meant to!

Silver or gold spray paint in a sock is good for staying frosty.

Now nothing is fun and nobody trusts to not to steal anything that isn't nailed down.

This seems pretty fucking dark even for a shitpost.

Hi, kids, do you like violence?

Wanna see me stick nine-inch nails through each one of my eyelids?

Honestly though hallucinogens really need to be more mainstream. Acid completely changed my outlook on life and give me a perspective of life and myself I would never have gotten through therapy or any other depression suppressants.

It's also cheap as balls if you find a good plug. 10 bucks for an all day ticket is wild you just have to be with someone you trust with your life who won't fuck with you.

I was talking about how hard it was for me to cut 5 pounds for my fight. This one guy told me I should take up meth to make weight. Genuinely look at him with utter confusion.

Alcohol is a depressant my man.

Neurologically speaking, so in a different context, yeah, but neurological depression also seems to lead to actual depression, the mood disorder, which also show up as neurological depression.

We really need better imaging tools to measure neurotransmitter activity, would make for several advancements I'd say

Vitamin D deficiency is a silent widespread issue for a lot of people. Had a battle with it a few years ago. Was tired no matter how much sleep I got, had negative motivation to do anything. Libido all but disappeared, and finally sought a doctor visit when I started have suicidal thoughts.

Turns out I just needed more sunshine and 50kiU once a week for a month.

Green Maeng Dae and THC gummies are all that keeps me going some days

Probably because the high isnt permanent and the higher you go the farther you fall. Long falls hurt a helluva lot

Hey I'm not an addict. I can stop having a good time whenever I want.

Deep down, I know the cure for my depression is cocaine or meth. I just am too depressed to get any of it and I don't think mania suits my vibe.

Edit: MDMA would also likely work, but that drug is almost a literal fast acting antidepressant similar in effect to SSRI's so I think it hits the nail too hard on the head.

While arcade games are stimulating, both opiates and alcohol are depressant drugs and well known for causing depression. Depression isn't sadness, it's slowness, emptiness, and an inability to get things done. Opiates and alcohol obviously do that in the moment, but repeated use eventually results in a prolonged depression that persists long after the substance is eliminated from the body.
