This is why I would refuse any medication to help with depression. It’s hard to comprehend that this is reality for him.

I’m not entirely too sure on how to react to such a video.

people have often suggested i go on anti depressants. my sister did and a few years later shes moved into a huge house. has new cars. and is living in the adult world as a regular person. she managed to normalize her moods and keep going in the same direction long enough to get credit and get acceptance into the mainstream. it can be done and i’m proud of her hard work and that she hasnt given up even when its been hard. but that for me doesnt seem like a life i could live. if you gave me all the security in the world i’d just give up and lose interest in life. the painful parts are the parts that shape me. for good or bad. i know ive complained a lot lately and i know it doesnt need to be like this for me but i need to be all in my life. i need to live by my heart and mind and see what comes of it because thats what its about to me. the experience not the end goals. not the comfort.

Gotta say, I’m on pills to help control my mood swings (bipolar, here) and I smoke weed. You know what this has done for me? It has kept me alive, and it has made me able to actually get up and experience things to enjoy instead of laying in bed all day. So yeah.

I’m still fairly new to the whole reblogging thing, so I apologize if this is not proper Tumblr etiquette. I just wanted to share my own experience.

I’m on anti-depressants too, I have been for several years now. For years I was afraid of taking medication. I was terrified of losing my creativity, my personality, my cynical sense of humour. But after years of trying every other method to fix my mind and having no success, anti-depressants were my very last resort.

They’re not an ideal solution, I know it. I feel it every day. I can relate to many of the things that guy says in his video. I feel like my brain is working at a reduced potential. Sometimes I can’t get anything done. Sometimes I can’t even start anything.

But for me, this is still better than nothing. I’m alive, slowly working my way back to my full potential, instead of towards what would surely have been my own destruction.
