Hi, kids, do you like violence?
Wanna see me stick nine-inch nails through each one of my eyelids?
I don't get how people can become depressed, when we live in the century of Fentanyl, easy access to alcohol and amusement arcades.

My dearest friend for the past 25 years became a drug addict. She died of an OD on Saturday. Left two young children with no parents. (Dad left years ago). I witnessed her spiral into addiction and destruction over the past 2 years. I couldn’t stop it. I tried.
If you want to become an addicted to something, please try masturbation or video games.

I’m sorry about your loss ❤️
BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m sorry for your loss. Addiction is terrible.
DudemanJenkins@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Honestly though hallucinogens really need to be more mainstream. Acid completely changed my outlook on life and give me a perspective of life and myself I would never have gotten through therapy or any other depression suppressants.
It’s also cheap as balls if you find a good plug. 10 bucks for an all day ticket is wild you just have to be with someone you trust with your life who won’t fuck with you.
aurorca@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
Let’s not forget that acid can be dangerous, I’m still recovering from a traumatic experience I had with acid 10 years ago, I still get flashbacks and panic attacks due to it. I also stopped smoking weed because it would trigger the flashbacks.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
I also stopped smoking weed because it would trigger the flashbacks.
I had this years ago after a series of bad trips (the common denominator turned out to be the presence of a certain person, then things got better). Anyway, hope you can get through to the other side.
dditty@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I will never forget the time I did twice as much acid as I intended and it ended up being a heroic dose complete with ego death and everything - not fun. Now I’m very cautious and typically only do microdoses.
Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
There are people trying pretty hard to make that happen though mostly in the context of supervised medical interventions.
Which I’m here for - while a lot of people do OK, (fantastically even) with less structured psychedelic experiences, many do not. A really bad trip can do a number on you, sometimes for a long while.
saigot@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
I would suggest growing your own mushrooms as the safest way to be sure they are tainted, it’s pretty easy (the hardest part is keeping things sterile) and you can grow quite a bit at once in a small footprint. In my jurisdiction it’s not even illegal so long as you destroy the final product upon maturity.
BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Destruction of the final product is also very easy, there are some strong chemicals capable of breaking it down in your own stomach.
Jimbo@yiffit.net 10 months ago
Agreed, doesnt work for everyone tho. I’ve done acid a couple times and it didn’t really change anything for me, other than the actual effects at the time. Perhaps it gave me a slightly larger understanding of the situation we’re all in and how the future is likely to look, but that already weighed on my mind heavily and just makes me sad.
tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 10 months ago
This seems pretty fucking dark even for a shitpost.

Not OP, but I have much darker jokes for you. But I’m afraid this whole Lemmy instance will be closed down by authorities if I post any of them.

They’re joking of course. Nobody wants this life.
Signtist@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I’ve seen plenty of people who think they could take hard, addictive drugs and not get addicted, or that the addiction would be a small price to pay for the highs of the drug. Plenty of people have far too much self confidence for their small understanding of the situation. It’s why drugs like heroin are still around; if everyone intrinsically understood that they’re not worth it, they’d have disappeared a long time ago.
terminhell@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Vitamin D deficiency is a silent widespread issue for a lot of people. Had a battle with it a few years ago. Was tired no matter how much sleep I got, had negative motivation to do anything. Libido all but disappeared, and finally sought a doctor visit when I started have suicidal thoughts.
Turns out I just needed more sunshine and 50kiU once a week for a month.
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Vitamin D toxicity is also a big problem, and doctors have been overprescribing supplementary vitamin D for years. Feels almost like a joke, you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
MewtwoLikesMemes@lemmy.world 10 months ago
kiU
I know vitamins are typically measured (at least here in the US) in International Units (IU), but I’ve never heard of “kiU”.
What’s that short for?
Brokenbutstrong@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Looks like kilo-International Unit

Deep down, I know the cure for my depression is cocaine or meth. I just am too depressed to get any of it and I don’t think mania suits my vibe.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
i mean psilocybin (administered by a professional and in a safe environment) is actually documented to work for some people, so maybe hold out for that instead of drugs that may well be 50% drain cleaner depending on where you get it?
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 10 months ago
MDMA is also documented to be very effective in curing depression, but as you said, its not as easy to tell if they used other stuff to mix it into the MDMA
Mikina@programming.dev 10 months ago
Its what literally changed my life. I was really socialy awkward, spend most of my lide behind a computer, and when I managed to go out to parties in a subculture scene parties I loved, I couldnt talk to anyone, had a few beers awkwardly in a corner and went home.
Then I met someone who introduced me to MDMA. That happened almost 8 years ago, and now I am an organizer of 2/3 of the same scene regular parties in our city, Im helping and DJing on a festival that happens here, and am living my best life in that regard. All thanks to that one best friend who got me something that made me talk to, and get to actually know people in the scene in the extent that I always wanted, and get comfortable enough that I no longer need to be high to interact with anyone. Since now they are friends and regulars, and not random people I wanted to talk to, but was afraid of approaching.
roguetrick@lemmy.world 10 months ago
For anxiety cases like yours, something that is very seritonigenic (which MDMA is) is very helpful. For unipolar depression without anxiety it may be just a nice manic episode. For bipolar depression, it might be a nice way to get yourself involuntarily committed.
AngryPancake@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
There are amphetamine antidepressants. You can ask your doctor about it (e.g. bupropion, which is not addictive).
roguetrick@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Brother I’ve been on bupropion and I loved it.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 months ago
the cure for my depression is cocaine or meth
Adding short bursts of mania to my episodes of depression, because nothing improves my overall mood than a huge rush of endorphins followed by a sharp crash and an aching emptiness.
Crikeste@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Don’t forget the painful regrets of your actions while high!
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 10 months ago
Don’t be a weakling and take MDMA to cure it. Real men learn how to live with your depression /s

It's also feeling tired all of the time, losing interest in activities you previously enjoyed, not experiencing pleasure in sex, unexplained weight gain, listlessness, and only seeing the bad in yourself and in the world.

One must be always drunk, that’s all that matters.
But what with?
With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose.
But get drunk.

Dasus@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Alcohol is a depressant my man.
Neurologically speaking, so in a different context, yeah, but neurological depression also seems to lead to actual depression, the mood disorder, which also show up as neurological depression.
We really need better imaging tools to measure neurotransmitter activity, would make for several advancements I’d say
GiveMemes@jlai.lu 10 months ago
Abuse of any psychoactive drug on the regular leads to depression. It isn’t just this concept of depressant or stimulant or even related in any way. Any stimhead can tell you all about the suicidal ideation inducing comedowns and inability to get anything done after stopping use.
Dasus@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Abuse of any psychoactive drug on the regular leads to depression.
That’s a biased generalisation.
While abusers of psychedelics are rare, they’re generally manic and psychotic moreso than depressed.
Yes, depression can be caused by any addiction and abusing stims can cause a lack of neurotransmitter due to exhausting the resources for the body to do so.
It’s a bit different than using something that’s a direct depressant though.
lath@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Randomly read a click bait article the other day on “How famous people died”. The older ones were alcohol + drug prescription overdose, while the newer ones were fentanyl + cocaine + alcohol.
Remember people, stay hydrated! Drink your drugs with water like you’re meant to!

Because some people think that getting high as a kite is a suitable way to not be depressed.

2ugly2live@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Man, I’ve been tempted. I’ve started saying I’d try a drug if it was ever offered, because I’m too much of a coward to figure out how to get it myself. I have an additive personality, so I know it would kill me and, honestly, I’m fine with that.
Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Alcohol will just make you more depressed eventually. Haven’t tried fentany… yetl, will slam one iv style and report back

I feel like drunk racing should be a sport. I mean, we have 24 hours of lemons, why not drunk racing too?
JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I don’t see the connection… the 24 hr Le Mans race is completed by multiple drivers switching out every few hours so no one is driving 24 hours straight. That’s not how endurance racing works
