when was the last time you cried?

@caccoon aww sweetheart. Big hugs. I'm so sorry you're hurting so much. 😞

@caccoon q
What made that happen??

@SW-User It's okay, I'm just being a whiner. 💙

@xBlackyChan Nope, my dad died.

@xBlackyChan And I'm on SSRI withdrawal. It's fun.

@xBlackyChan Cheers. I don't feel tough at all. But I'll make it.

@caccoon no, sweetheart, you're not. You suffered one of the biggest losses anyone can have. Allow yourself to grieve. When you don't, it's very detrimental to your health. I love you, and I will continue praying for you, and your family.

@SW-User Thank you. 😢

@xBlackyChan I agree with you. It's hopefully going to be a temporary thing, but I've been on and off for 8 years now and honestly? I think my brain is perma-fucked.

That being said, eating healthy and exercise is huge. Keeping busy is huge, meditation helps a lot and so does yoga. And my dog. It's not as though I don't try. But I have been through a lot in the past few years and the medication helps the suicidal thoughts seem less interesting and they help me get out of bed.

@xBlackyChan I'm weaning off at the moment which is why I feel so awful. Because I need to switch. It's a long story.

But yes, there are natural things you can use. I find poppy tea (not the opium poppies, you want papaver rhoeas) helps. As does Malva (mallow) and weed is amazing haha. There is a lot you can do but it requires a lot of research and dedication.

Pharmaceuticals make too much money for the world for the information to be easily accessible.

Good luck to you.
