I finally got a job with good enough benefits where I can see

Ask for a stimulant.

What's it do? I mean, obviously it stimulates but what's it like? What's the difference between it and something else?

I get hits of intense depression during the day that has me crying for thirty minutes or so at a time sometimes. It sucks. I can't enjoy anything anymore.

Forces bad stuff out of your mind. Makes you want to do activities. Most doctors will start you off with an SSRI like sertraline/zoloft. I took that. I didn't get the negative effects, like so many did, but it really didn't have any positives, either. One of the negative effects is that it can numb you. As someone who is emotionally-numb, it's much worse than being sad.

Alright, sounds kinda fun.

But I write. Or at least try to when I have the mood. Will it affect my writing?

Funny thing I have to fix myself before I can ask people to fix me. If I could get a job where they pay me enough to not starve to death I wouldn't need a shrink.

You'll produce more. I can't speak how it'll affect you, creatively.

>>35707265
I'll take the chance. My writing was never that dark despite the depression so fuck it. Worth a shot.

I lied through my teeth through the whole process. Plus, this job isn't hard to get. It's just working for the state.

As somebody else who had success with stimulants, be very careful of tolerance and dependency.

I'm pretty sure at this point I have irreparably ruined my brain and my life.

Honestly, with the whole therapy thing, much like many other things, your results may vary.
The therapy I have received thus far hasn't been very good imo, all I've really done is rant about the same shit I rant about with my friends over discord. If I was paying for it, I would have quit a long time ago.
But don't take my experience as a definite, I'd recommend just checking it out yourself; why the hell not.

Now as for the suicidal thoughts, the thing that really helped me is I started working out; apparently the physical activity changes some things around relating to the chemicals in your brain, making you feel better. I mean yeah, I'd rather lay around like a piece of shit all day, but then I'd feel like a piece of shit all day.
