Telling this forum real ? is pointless. ? fish for likes and ? on here. Dallas has 5000 post. He knows how ? works here -
i don't know if Peanut is depressed or not, but he definitely needs anger management

I've loved my pills, and I've loved my whiskey. But you don't want your head full of either one when the house gets quiet and dark.

You know I started posting here when I was 15. I'm 25 now, over the years I have turned to the IC for an outsiders perspective on issues in my life. Hell I went from a boy to a man all while posting on the IC, there was a time when we did actually talk about real ? in G & S you know. -
There was also a time where people made parody accounts named "Fetus #1" and "Abortion Doctor" to make fun of a female who had multiple abortions and clearly mentally ill...

Yeah and that usually happened in Donkey, not G & S. -
Goat thread @Dallas and ? y'all judgmental posters, everyone has an unhealthy habit.

I don't think you need help, if your not into reading then get into it, books like "A mans search for meaning" or "The 7 habits of highly effective people", you will start looking at things from a different perspective, and you got to put the bottle down, it destroys the mind and if u don't your going to hurt yourself get to a point of no return and when you finally seek help after its too late your going to realize you were just making excuses to hit the bottle, like other people get your diet right and exercise, get your mind in some books, meditation is something I need to learn myself, do some volunteer work which may help you count your blessings and realize ? ain't as bad as your making it, and stay positive and motivated before it's too late and your that 40 year old dude who looks 60 and could never put the bottle down
-
Whatever you do bro...dont give up. The fact that you beat yourself up for mistakes of the past proves you have a "conscience". Dont let that negative energy consume you though. Try to take it one day at a time. Each day you wake up is a good day and you control your destiny.
we all have to deal with the outcome of the decisions we made. Your attitude is what is important. Others have given you some good advice in my opinion. Stay up bruh. You can bounce back if you really want to. -
To me a ? poor diet is just as bad as drugs and alcohol, that's y I keep it balanced and every once in a while I'll do a detox, and I'm known for hitting the bottle on the ic due to early morning rants a few years back, although I was overdoing during that time I know when I have to get away, it's when you get away from it is when you realize how much it tears you down, just like your diet you can get used to eating fast food and drinking soda everyday, get away from it for a while purify your body and then eat some fast food and that's when you realize how much the ? was destroying you

Man, stay the hell away from them ? . He's replacing an addiction with addicting drugs, not really smart -

It's not a permanent fix and that's how an addiction starts, you go from small doses to being hooked. -
It's really about finding someone to relate and talk to. People don't realize how hard it is to step away from a routine that has been helping you live for a long time. Just take care of yourself and make sure you making positive, progressive steps to respect the pain you've lived man because the only way through it is to work towards something better.
The power is in you always to break the cycle.
Anti-depressants effect a lot of other areas of your life, and if you had been on them for awhile, and suddenly wanted to stop, you'd never be the same after. It's just a drug, just like everything else. -
My ? I was gonna PM this to you, but I put it out here to hopefully encourage ? to take you more seriously. We all go through it in life. Hell, I'm out on bond right now, lost friends and family to death, and prison, been homeless and all that so I understand where you comin from as far as the struggles you see. lets not even get into the anguish and guilt I live with on the daily when it comes to ? up my potential or whatever.
I said all that to say that you ain't ever done til it's over my ? . never give up on yourself because there's a lot of people who rely on you to be on the up and up. I don't remember when, but you told me a minute ago that ya bro was in the Feds. Ya people's facin that charge and you have ya own dealings to deal with. It's easy for a muhfucka to say "just stop drinking". But I know that's just not that easy, when I was all the way down, and I mean down cuddo, I just took ? one day at a time, and I shook back. Everyday was its own personal battle. When I caught myself ? up, I'd remind myself of my goals, and I kept it movin. Beatin yourself up when you make a mistake ain't bout ? , just understand that it's hard to break habits, and all your problems didn't get created overnight so don't expect them to be fixed overnight.
The weight of all you've been through cannot be allowed to hold you down, regrets is a bad muhfucka if you allow them to be, everybody got regrets, I regret stuff daily, I can't change it. But I can take the lesson. I don't have yesterday no more, ? gone, but I got the next as long as ? allow it. You made mistakes, sure, but you better because of them. I did a lot of ? up in the past too, but I ain't do all that to stay the same, I took the L and got better.
At the end of the day we all go through ? in the course of living life. your current predicament is one that many people have seen and it's a difficult one. You gotta give yourself a reason to change because you obviously want to, once you do just take it one day at a time, 1 problem at a time. If you stumble, don't get down on yourself because you're going to stumble. Everything that you've been through, and going through has an end, you're going to have victories and defeats in life, as long as you stay true to yourself in all situations you'll find that none of this ? can really touch you, the fact that somebody else's problems affect you that much lets me know you a real ? . You got plenty of time to get right if you only 25, just stay true to you, and remember all steps forward are good ones. you can kick it to me anytime you feel if you need an ear bruh, I feel you, and I love you, on the strength that we soldiers of the same struggle. I hope you get it together. Stay up. -
You're not the only one, brother. Talking about it can avoid going down a road that will end in a terrible way. If you need anything, don't hesitate. We're gonna make it.

i think part of being depressed is you have to really try your hardest to analyze what your real issues are. if your problems are mostly external (work, women, money, friends, addiction) you can take steps to change those things; if everything seems fine on the outside or if no matter how good things are going you're still depressed or you're just unable to do anything then you need to at least see a shrink on a trial basis.
it's normal to get depressed every now and then but if you stay like that for extended periods of time you're not just a burden to yourself but also to everyone around you which makes people stop ? with you and just contributes to the descent. -
You gotta replace your negative coping mechanisms with positive ones. Lift weights, run, meditate. Or whatever you discover works for you, those are the tools I used to overcome mental health and addiction struggles. You gotta learn how to effectively fight that ? . Hard at first but once you get positive momentum going it get's easier.
Oh, and I didn't just figure this out by myself. A therapist told me this. So cosign people saying talk to a professional. Come clean with your doctor and ask him to refer you to someone. Even if you don't keep going regularly, in one or two sessions they could hit you with some extremely valuable knowledge and advice to make your life easier. You might end up wanting to keep going.
Take one day off drinking. Then take 2. Keep pushing it until you're doing 4-5 days off, aka only drinking on the weekends, then keep pushing it.
You do have to progress though. If you just keep taking two days off and then going back to drinking you will not defeat the cravings. It's the eventual long stretches off that shake addiction. Those first couple days are a ? and will require willpower from you. The more you do, the easier it gets, the weaker the cravings get. It's best to find something to do to keep yourself occupied during your normal drinking hours, not stare at the TV and think about how you wish you could drink. Sounds cliché, but you gotta start one day at a time.
