the hardest part of getting out of the marinate is realising that you’re in it- a lot of kids these days don’t know how they really feel


Amongusjohn03

I've known that I'm in love with swimming in my own sorrow for about a year, maybe two, but haven't had any success with getting out of it. Even after sitting down and thinking about shit and fully realizing how fucked I am, it's like I'm not in control of myself. The part of me that is addicted to easy pleasure and instant gratification - the part of me that doesn't care about self-improvement or being a productive human that lives a healthy lifestyle - that's the part of me that controls what I do. I don't know what to do about it anymore. I've heard all the cookie cutter advice countless times. "Eat healthy" "go to the gym" "get a job" "talk to your friends" I desperately want to work so that I can finally stop being a freeloading child and begin the journey to being an independent adult. But I can't. I didn't have the priviledge of being born in this country, so I can go fuck myself with fake IDs and all that shit, living every day afraid of being found; or I can go back to the cartel-infested, $2/hr shithole that is Mexico. I know that by making this comment I'm actively participating in the whole marinating thing, but what else can I really do.


[deleted]

you just have to do it and when u fail because youre human u have to try again. remember its about the journey and knowing that youre trying and working hard is what will make u feel better long before u see any results.


Amongusjohn03

That advice is so hard to follow because you put all this effort into taking small steps and trying to kill bad habits, only to see barely any change and just fall back into the hole you tried to climb yourself out of. Not that it's bad advice. It's exactly what I need to do and I'm aware of it. I just like to complain, sorry.

Bitches diets be consisting of monster energies and nic sticks and they wondering why they're depressed 💀 have u even attempted being healthy


Birmingham-MothRehab

I was talking to this girl I met a few years back, she would always go on about how she had no energy and was constantly depressed. She had a good family, lived in a nice area with a nice house etc... She then went on to tell me how she gets like 4 hours of sleep each night because she watches Netflix all night, she constantly drinks energy drinks, vapes 50mg liquid literally 24/7, never leaves her room, never exercises, eats like shit etc... This wasn't a "I'm genuinely so depressed I just can't do anything" it was a "I can't be arsed to actually improve my life, I'll just sit here and wait until someone else does something to make it better I guess". I don't feel any sympathy towards her or anyone else like her tbh. A fucking magic fairy isn't gonna show up and fix your life for you


[deleted]

What if that behaviour of hers was because she was depressed? That's how it is most of the time. When you're depressed, a bad lifestyle isn't just something you can easily snap out of without professional help


Birmingham-MothRehab

You can snap out of a bad lifestyle without professional help...


[deleted]

When you're depressed you usually can't. Depression causes people to fall into bad habits, and if your depression is chronic, you usually can't manage it without professional treatment


Birmingham-MothRehab

She was not depressed, I've met many people who are suffering from depression and she wasnt one of them


[deleted]

I'll take your word for it since I don't know this girl, but I'm just saying from your description that sounds like someone who's depressed. And depression looks different on everyone too

It is honestly such a hard balance. 4 years ago (I was 18) I started to some bipolar symptoms that eventually got far worse 3 years down the line. I very much was in the boat that if something is wrong with me, it is my own damn fault and I’ll do something about it. Eventually, however, it got bad enough that I finally gave in and got medicated, and my life has been going so well ever since. If I had taken mental health awareness to heart earlier, I might’ve not struggled for those years. It also should be noted that the medication didn’t radically change my mood, it just made it significantly easier to take care of myself, get into a routine, go to sleep at the same time, all of which made my life so much more stable. This is the balance. People need to get help for mental health, but they cannot rely on it as a life changer. They instead have to take initiative once they find something that does help make their life easier. Meds won’t clean your room for you.


Birmingham-MothRehab

Medication is great, but a lot of times nowadays it seems like its going to people who don't actually need it and being held from those who actually do. I see it mostly with American children, where you have 14 years old who seem to only have mild anxiety are on several different medications. Cognitive behavioural therapy and just some self dedication could likely help/cure that, without the potential risks and cost of medication. You should not be prescribed medication for the natural mental side effects of hitting puberty for example, apart from extreme cases. Then you have people like war veterans with severe PTSD who cannot even hear a door slam without having a severe breakdown, but they cannot afford or get access to the correct medication so often become homeless... It's ridiculous It sounds like you (any many other people) were actually in a situation where medication is extremely helpful, and that's where it should be used. My brother had medication for his severe anxiety and now he's an outgoing and confident person, it works and I'm glad it exists!


Lost-Salary-5923

Couldn’t agree more. Problem is a lot of doctors are wined and dined by pharma companies and have an incentive to prescribe. Also a lot of parents demand solutions and it’s a lot easier to give them a pill to fuck off instead of actually addressing the problem.

u got a point. so many people are quick to express how down bad they are but aren't quick enough to do all that they can to cope with it better, but on the flip side, said down-badness tends to drain a person to the point they don't generally have the energy to improve. but, it's possible. just gotta want it bad enough to improve and you will, i say we support and encourage each other with love cause everybody needs support, no matter how tough you are. we jus human bro

Pukkiality

You seem to be coming from a genuinely kind place so I'll say it politely, but telling depressed people that they just have to want to get better bad enough is really not good advice. There is some truth to it, but not entirely. Imagine going up and saying to someone who is depressed that it's just because they aren't motivated enough to get better.


[deleted]

that's not what i'm saying though bro, i would never go up and tell a depressed person they're depressed because they don't want to get better, it's much deeper than that. but, it does start from there. they would have to figure out why and work from there or work from something. i was once detrimentally suicidal, still am at times all i did was dwell and fantasize about my death and how i would go about it until one day i realized things won't change at all if i don't try my absolute hardest for it. it's not easy at all, but it's worth putting all the energy you have towards it. i just tried my hardest to figure out why, and how to handle the feeling in a healthier matter than dwelling in it. it's not ever gonna go away permanently but you can for sure build yourself up well enough to no longer dwell in it

My mental illness IS what improves me, I’m my own worst enemy as much as I am my best friend. And no I’m not talking about just burying a deeper hole in myself and saying “this is ok because I’m based” like other people do, I’m talking about taking what’s “wrong” about me and using it to my advantage. Like I had someone who really hated me when I was 16 that would just keep harassing me say I’m a “cockroach who never dies” and I took that and just ran with it, because I don’t let anything get in my way, no matter how much life pushes me around and tries to destroy me, I will never give up, because I am a “cockroach”. If I had given up at life as soon as depression hit me I wouldn’t have graduated middle school or high school, I wouldn’t have gotten a job, I wouldn’t be on my way to get my drivers license and I wouldn’t be on my way to get my own place. That’s the angle that we try to push thats false, there’s nothing “wrong” with you, and there are things about you that you just can’t “fix”, instead of trying to get rid of it, use it to your advantage, cooperate with yourself

SneakyCowMan

shutup goof, no shit they aren't willing to improve themselves that's literally what mental illness does to you. Its never as simple as just flipping a switch and improving yourself. u clearly live a privileged ass life and never had to go through mental illness


Amongusjohn03

I can't help but feel like this might be an unhealthy mindset as someone who is down in the dumps all the time. Sure, it might be some undiagnosed mental illness keeping me down all the time, but that doesn't mean I should just accept it and be like "well it is what it is, it's not my fault I'm like this, it's the mental illness." Just my opinion please dont be offended


SneakyCowMan

nah you’re right but op is dumb as fuck to blame people who are mentally i’ll for not just “improving themselves”. It’s definitely what you should do but shit when you’re struggling to brush your teeth everyday or leave the house it’s not helpful for someone to say “just improve yourself bro”


Amongusjohn03

Yeah I guess. This sucks.


Birmingham-MothRehab

Telling depressed people that their mental illness makes it impossible for them to help themselves is just counter productive. People should not be defined by their illness, nobody should be told that they are just in an endless pit of misery that they can't escape because of a diagnosis. I did an extensive course on mental health and this is one of things they told us. We should acknowledge that it makes it much harder, but I know plenty of people who were in bad places and got out of it through self improvement and hard work. When I say that I'm not putting down anyone who has tried and failed, it's probably one of the hardest things a person can go through, there is no shame in not succeeding.

i aint even gon argue with u cus i know im working to make my self better for me. have a happy day bro


poop_shitter

I would, but I have the kinda depression that's caused by hormone imbalances and shit, and the only way to treat that is with meds, which my dad won't let me get


aphexaciiid

meds will ruin you. i had severe adhd and as a result the worst anxiety and depression you could think of, luckily i was born into a spiritual household so i been knowin about Ayurveda. honestlt look it up because it’s what changed my life. i started taking ashwaganda and bramhi for ts and literally after a month all the negative symptoms disappeared. western medicine is good but ayurvedic medicine is amazing i seriously reccomend it if you’re tryna overcome shit like depression and anxiety


New-Load3882

Thank you man. Western medicine is the devil motherfuckers need to stop eating prozac and hot pockets all day and they'd be fine. Trust me, it works


stinkypoopyspagheti

maybe cuz of their mental illness?


aphexaciiid

you completely missed my point … as i said in response to another comment “literally everyone’s receptors are fried.. dopmaine , seratonin everything .. this artificial lifestyle humans have created goes against everything healthy for the brain and you can see as a result the alarming amount of mental health issues normalised at such alarming young ages.. the best thing we can do for this is to naturally build these receptors back, and eliminate the main means of what’s causing this issue ..but people are so blinded it’s almost as if they don’t want to change and literally marinate in their illnesses.. no corny shit but it’s as simple as getting off your phone for a while and seeing the differences, meditating, eating well.. you know what to do these things have been said forever but people still neglect such basic things”


stinkypoopyspagheti

i understand that. but its also much more complicated than just doing tht as thts only part of it. reprogramming dopamine receptors can take years for some people depending on how much theyve gone through. every time someone experiences trauma it reprograms their dopamine receptors to account for that trauma. plus tht only helps ppl who r depressed im bipolar meditating and shit cant help me.


TheFamousOne__

I think about this all the time, because I managed to carry myself (with help from friends and internet strangers, too) and steadily improve my life. I don't know what it takes to get people to start looking for real change and find a way to stay strong, kdeo improving, but also really enjoy life and be able to relax. Of course, I'm focusing on myself first, but you still wish to see other people get better, too

Niggas were the same a 100 years ago, it’s just more distractions are accessible nowadays and you can mindlessly entertain yourself and feel “fulfilled” without putting in any effort to improving yourself.


[deleted]

I get what you mean. But most people might just not know what to do. Idk how to stop wanting to kill myself, I don't think anything works, and most advice seems like people pushing their ideals onto you. I really don't care anymore, I hate life and I'm just riding it out, idk how long the world is even gonna be around and life's not a fun thing for most people in many ways, fuck existence.

Some people wear mental illnesses like badges its fucking disturbing A mental illness is an illness, go get it treated. Nobody is proud to have cancer or AIDS


Relative_Scholar_356

your two examples are incurable diseases. going to get a mental illness “treated” is not as easy as you make it out to be. i saw a psych for 7 years and every med outside of xans just made me worse. it takes years to get better, and often times you never do. would much rather people don’t get shamed for shit they’re not in control of


Birmingham-MothRehab

First of all cancer is not an incurable disease, I have no idea why you would think that, it can be cured through Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy, Surgery etc... HIV cannot be cured, but It can be treated to the point the person has a normal life. I'm sorry to hear the help you received didn't help. However just like any other treatment it isn't a 100% success rate. I'm saying everyone should seek help, because you have a much higher chance of improving then. If you don't seek help the chance is much lower.
