/psy/ - psychology and psychonautics

Pills don't help much without actual behavioural therapy, have you talked to someone about it in meatspace? do you have anything that can break the cycle for short intervals of time?

Crash, do you have an email or something I could reach you at…? I've been figuring out which substances (over-the-counter, herbal, nootropic, experimental, etc) work for depression & anxiety for the better part of two years now because I too suffer horrible depression.

I can simply list some things here if you prefer, but I can be more comprehensive and continually helpful via other communications

My email is thelastdomino@cocaine.ninja ; I truly wish you success in getting better and will do absolutely everything in my power to help

I'm seeing a psychiatrist and a psychologist, last one once a week. CBT therapists are rare in my country and I couldn't find one but lately I been hearing CBT is not as effective as once thought

>do you have anything that can break the cycle for short intervals of time?

Not anymore, I used to read about several subjects (mostly science, geopolitics, tech) and play some videogames, but lately even those things seem like a task rather than something to take my mind off things

All I do anymore is lurk around the net, I'm like a fucking ghost…

For some reason my nick didn't show up

Exercise helps, but you're probably too depressed for that in the first place.

Sorry for the delay in response to everyone! Been a bit busy, I replied to the two emails I received in my inbox. :)

~ Black seed oil
~ NSI-189
~ Semax
~ Selank
~ Bromantane
~ Fasoracetam
~ Polygala tenuifola
~ Sarcosine
~ Gastrodin
~ Uridine monophosphate
~ DHM a.k.a. Dihydromyricetin
~ Piracetam
~ Noopept
~ microdosing of either LSD, 1P-LSD, 4-AcO-DMT, or Psilocybin mushrooms
~ Gynostemma Pentaphyllum (Jiaogulan)
~ L-Carnosine
