      good thread. I'm linking in the middle, but click and scroll up. This is the same reason I distrusts and avoid anti-depressants (and I think that a doctor's note that you need pot is EXACTLY the same as one that you need prozac). Sadness is a SIGNAL that you need to FIX thingshttps://twitter.com/Hatcher_Wyrm/status/1082667104757633025 …

      Weed on the surface just makes everything more tolerable. My brothers shitty apartment, his troubled wife, his crap job- basically his whole life is of nagging concern to me. Don’t you want something better? Don’t you at least want to try?

      2/ Yes, yes, there is such a thing as severe and actual depression (trust me, I've wasted years of my life in a terrible anhedonic state with the full gamut of other symptoms from the DSM). ...but I also think that 95% of "depressed" people are sad.

          3/ Yes, if you're so deep in the hole that you're thinking of killing yourself, talk to a doc, and maybe - maybe - try some drugs to get your out of the deep pit. Not great, but better than eating a bullet. But...

          4/ ...unless your two choices are "bullet or prescription", give strong thought to skipping the drugs, and facing what you're angry / sad at. Poor career prospects? OK, fix those. Incel? Read some Roissy. Fat / weak? Hit the gym. You're boring and ignorant? Read books.

          8/ "self improvement" is a category name for a terrible set of memes at the bookstore Why is this so? Because as with all prog entryism, once upon a time there was something awesome, and progs (women and weak men) killed it, skinned it, and caper about ghoulishly in the corpse

          10/ The good stuff is filed under "business" not "self improvement" or (worse yet) "self help". Why am I talking about self help books in a thread that started on the topic of weed & prozac? Because if you're depressed, you've got a fever and the only cure is self improvement

          13/ You already know this deep in your heart, but you're trying to pull the wool over your eyes, and society is helping you do it. The thing is, there's more pain playing pretend than there is in facing reality. That splinter hurts, right? Would you rather pull it out or not?

          14/ So, again, the "depression" is giving you useful information. Mood is a sense! If your eyes told you that the building was on fire, you'd fight the flames or leave. If your ears told you there was a fire... If your nose told you there was a fire... If your skin told you

          16/ A related scenario: Your eyes tell you that everything is soothing and good. Your ears tell you that there is pleasant music. Maybe there's just a slight crackling sound, but that's maybe nothing. But your nose tells you that there's smoke. Now you face a question:

          17/ Do you want to reach up and touch the blindfold? Do rip it off? Do you take off the headphones? If you do, you may very well see a fire. And realizing that you're in a burning building is very very scary - much scarier than where you are right now.

          20/ Good thread. I endorse / accept everything here. A spare donut tire is not as good as a real tire, but it's a useful tool to get you 100 miles to the tire shop. Prozac may help you deal with bad crap for 6 months as you fix it. https://twitter.com/JASutherlandBks/status/1082676209685839872 …

          Point taken, but a lot of a person's interest (or boring-ness) in other people's eyes- especially women- is predetermined through status.

          Not saying it isn't, but there is a distinction to be made. And from my experience already hitting the gym and getting good at hobbies, I'll add that the suggestion to get good at hobbies is fine, but thinking it will significantly improve status is usually facile.

          23/ Also, demonstrating competence in a hobby in front of women (even non guitar) works very well. About 8 years back I had a toasty 19 year old throwing herself at 39 yo me because I signed up for a clay arts / pottery class and I was pretty darned good at the wheel.

          24/ I mean, admittedly, she was crazy. But if a 39 year old guy is looking for 19 year old women (I wasn't) that's ... kinda part of what you're looking for, I think?
