    Ah so you think staying at home not eating will help do you, well let me educate you, when you stop eating your body starts to feed off it's fat reserves, when they are used up it satarts to attack itself, then it gets really unpleasant.
    Your liver, potentially already damaged by the tablets and alcohol has no reserves left to play with, so you will then find your potassium levels in the blood will go through the roof, not long after this you will develop a particularly unpleasant condition called Ketoacidosis, symptoms include nausea, vomiting, severe stomach pain, to name but a few, eventually after a few days of this you will fall into a coma and die! It really is a most unpleasant way to go, not at all dignified, and if you're lucky enough to be found and do survive you can be left with some pretty nasty side effects so do think carefully about what you are doing.
    I know it isn't easy, any drug prescribed to help you can take up to 6 weeks to build up what is known as a 'theraputic level' which is why, quite often people stop taking their meds and say they feel fine, you will for a few days until the levels in your body start to fall, then wham it hits you. I personally think you need to revisit a psychiatrist and explain exactly how you feel, it takes time to sort things out, but if things are aas bad as you say they are then time it would appear is one of the only things you have left.
    You can handle this the easy way or the hard way and it looks like you are determined to do it the hard way and that's your choice, personally having been there a couple of times I'd do it the easy way, it's much better.

    I went to doctor a lot of times. Anti depressant pills dont give me any happy feeling. Indeed, they give no feeling at all. Neither positive or negative. It is just no difference.

    But when consumed with alcohol, they power up the effect of alcohol. That is all they do. Them alone doesnt do anything, any feeling. Nothing at all. Unfortunately it makes no difference.

    it almost does mine, except for my paranoid nature to suspect some kind of agenda as well.
    maybe just me, but its my nature to have to suspect that when i see these kinds of posts like this topic.

    i always suspect this kind of emo stuff as being how the fascist/authoritarian agenda spreads its poison.
    i don't say that to hurt anyone. i don't want to hurt anyone. but its just the kind of thing i don't ever feel like i can ever entirely trust.

    so maybe its a completely innocent cry in the wilderness for companionship, and i don't want to dis that,
    but i have to ask myself what are really the odds.

    and to the op, beating yourself over the head isn't doing the world any favors either.
    there are lots of things we can all do to fill our lives and make ourselves happy without hurting ourselves or anyone.

    and that doesn't depend on what we believe or don't either. though we can be guided by that to not hurt each other if we choose.

    imagination is what gives us joy in life, and as long as we are considerate and employ logic in the service of consideration,
    the only thing we have to worry about is the world created by the culture of the people around us.

    that much is still there. but there is no shame in being who we are.
    only these logical needs to exercise care and caution.

    Are all antidepressants so useless by themselves?

    Current one is ''Brintellix''. The older one was ''Selectra''

    Both were useless.

    I tell doctor it was no use so, maybe, he can change it to something else.

    I worry about this guy, mainly because for every reaction that seems to help, their is an equal and opposite reaction to follow.
    When I read his posts, is one of the few times that I hope that the actions he has described are not entirely true.

    When he feels lonely and down, he could easily join in on the treads here to pass a few hours and possibly chat to a few members afterwards. This would be far better than what happens when he posts his alarmist threads and gets mostly single replies that rarely progress..

    @Grandeur, I'm beginning to think you might have chronic depression. This seems to be a recurring coping strategy for you, and I suspect an ineffective/circular one that ends with you feeling bad as before, albeit in a different way.

    I'm wondering if there isn't some way that you can get help addressing your concerns, friend...

    Not BiPolar, he doesn't seem to have the manic highs, only the lows, so without knowing his history I'd be inclined to go for something like chronic depression, he has the downs, but not the highs. I'd love to try and help him but he doesn't seem to want help, he just comes across as 'oh woe is me' which makes helping him bloody hard.

    If only there were pills that could make us happy. But alas, we're forced to deal with this shitty world, full of assholes. That's just the way it is.

    That is the root of his problem. He seems to feel as if he is some sort of inferior outsider, while we are living it up all the time. He also seems to blame his environment, assuming that we all live in cities where the streets are paved with gold.

    As I mentioned earlier, #30, it would be better if he joined in on everyday threads and got his mind off the catch 22 rut that he has accepted as the norm.
    Unfortunately, when someone constantly emits negativity, after a while people avoid them and assume that their actions are like the boy who cried 'Wolf'.

    PS, Hopefully he will read our comments and give them some serious thought. No one here is condemning him, but he has to take the first steps to get out of his self destructive downward spiral.

    I doubt that posting on a forum is going to help much. We don't know what's causing his depression.

    My point is simply getting his mind off the way that he is feeling. A feeling of isolation and loneliness is behind a lot of depression.

    I am drinking currently but not on antidepressants. I finished it by taking 3 or 4 pills at one time.

    Still, no cure was gotten. I want medicines that are stronger than doctor would prefer to give.
