I am still in Bali for another two weeks and then maybe pop to Thailand for a bit. Its been really great :) I needed a break from my rut and I've been working on a really fun interesting video game out here, so the focus on something other than what I was focused on has been amazing. Anxiety level has gone so far down and so has my depression. Turns out I probably don't have anything wrong my brain chemistry after all- its just society lol
Mental health is so much more about balance. Many people experience completely appropriate low mood and distress when times are hard. This is different to endogenous depression. Not less, not easier, but less likely an intrinsic illness and more to do with situational factors.
In spite of popular use of serotonin reuptake or other psychotropic hormone based medication treatment I'm yet to find research that proves that it is effective. I've found a lot that says it likely isn't useful.
Whoops, I do that sometimes. I haven't worked in a while but that stuff is still in my brain.
I believe people can be empowered by knowing they can have quite a degree of control over their mental health. Even people who do have an axis 1 diagnosis, decreased stress and increased physical well-being hugely improves their psychological health.
I'm glad you are having a good time. Was truly very nice to see you pop up.
Yes, I know everything you say but sometimes I need to step outside of the noise. Thank you for your sweet words I hope you have had some moments of joy and respite also <3
I say too much, don't listen to the noise I make. I can spout research but seldom leave home.
You my dear are amazing!
Most of what I write is mere projections of my own scenario. Take it with a grain of salt and stay awesome.
Hahah I take everything with a grain of salt. I have never been specifically told I have chemical imbalances but, as you say , whenever there is talk of depression it is always a chemical solution. I said in my article about bell curves/genius/mental illness that I know for a fact that there are some percentage of humans who have physiological imbalances that are not situationally specific per se and we need to be careful when we attack the pharama industry or the popular psychological espousement because these people will get trampled. We just need to be aware individually and as a society that increases in mental illness are probably indicative of something other than a mass devolution to weaker humans haha
"Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes." haha my favorite <3
