It's not all in your head, despite what the CBT nutters say. Nor is your brain chemistry corrupted like a faulty hard-drive. All of this shit was made-up by bourgies so people won't blame the societal structures they live under.

Unfortunately a lot of things that keep us miserable are out of our control, or take an extreme amount of work to try and change your circumstances to something better.

This is like telling someone with broken leg to walk it off.

Dangerously bad advice.

well I'm glad it's a completely one-sided matter.

All the things that make me miserable are pretty much out of my control agony

I need money and no one will fucking hire me. I even applied and got an interview for a position cleaning up literal shit at a hospital and they still didn't hire me. They won't even let me clean up doo doo feces to make a living

Can't get SRS without money, can't get FFS without money, can't get out of my shitty ass apartment where they're always cutting the water off without money, this shit sucks

Yeah, same here. The only thing I'm certain of is that mind-numbing psychiatric "medications" and learning to hypnotize myself into denying my own thoughts (aka "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy") are not the answer, and that it's mostly about the material causes.

I've been on antidepressants, including SSRIs, before and they just never really seemed to do anything for me, the only thing they did do was give me horrible withdraw symptoms after I stopped taking them

You know that pins-and-needles feeling when a limb is asleep? When I got off lexapro I would get that feeling all over my body for about 2-3 seconds every like 15 seconds, it was awful
