What did Lleywn mean by this?

I went to the doctor recently and she is putting me on anti-depressants and sleeping pills and I'm going to therapy as well.

i wonder what happened to llewyn

maybe he caught a break and got a decent record deal and cut a popular LP of trad arr songs or something. maybe he died sometime in the late '60s, drunk and penniless, or in vietnam. maybe he went to spain and charmed the locals with translated dylan tunes. maybe he kept at it and became some minor elder statesman of the greenwich village folk revival scene and turned up in a mighty wind scenario thirty years later

SSRIs are a scam. Take the sleeping pills and see a therapist, but don't fall for the pharma scam. You'll turn into a zombie and lose years of your life.

excess stress causing low test causing lethargy

>lose years of your life.

I'm 28 years old and have been a NEET since around 17/18. I'm not worried about losing years.

He's basically Dave Van Ronk.

Then do it, but in the end you'll regret it. I'd much rather feel sadness than be a zombie addicted to pills which makes me feel nothing at all.

that's not how ssri's work

Having sleep apnea makes me feel like this, also I wouldn’t consider it actual depression but I am normally pessimistic about a lot of things

>addicted to SSRIs
how weak does your willpower have to be? that's like getting addicted to antacids.

He was doomed to repeat his cycle of misery forever. The movie ends with him saying “au revoir”.

What a fucking loser you have to be to voluntarily choose to be on a drug for the rest of your life that artificially turns you into a zombie just so you don't feel sad.

You think you'll get better taking that shit? Think again. Once you're on it, the second you come off you'll feel worse than ever. You'll have to put that garbage in you for life, upping the doses and switching to stronger variants constantly.

Of course, you could go to the gym, eat healthily, spend (far) less time in front of a screen, and work on improving yourself while forming meaningful relationships. But then again, that does take effort whereas swallowing a pill doesn't.

you sound about 16

Why are you samefagging? The posters count didn't go up with the last one.

I'm not that guy, but I'm a zombie even without pills
I can't sleep more than 3 hours per night

kill yourself

Just walk in and shake the managers hand. You'll get 8 hours sleep in no time.

Fucking lazy millenials.

he's unironically right

wow he's smarter than the entire medical literature on depression?

>feel awful every day
>high levels of anxiety
>extremely depressed
>bad at socializing
>start drinking coffee for the first time in my life
>problems get 50% better and I can semi-function now
what the fuck? I didn't even feel tired before. what the fuck is caffeine doing?

I actually rewatch that scene a lot
It's the most identifiable quote in the movie

when's somebody gonna say "have sex" itt?

Hrs loosely based off Dave van ronk so you can assume he remained in relative obscurity until his death while people he mentored like bob Dylan became famous

when im tired i get extremely depressed and start dwelling on my insecurities way too much

what a retarded analogy

Caffeine is a psychostimulant with the same central effects as the classical nervous system psychostimulants cocaine and amphetamine, although to a much lesser degree.

Don't worry, lad. Unless you manage to keep up the consumption as your tolerance to caffeine increases [which won't happen], you'll crash back down harder than you've ever crashed before. Such is the life of central nervous system stimulants.

fuck

I stopped drinking coffee because it made me feel extremely anxious and then when it wore off I felt extremely depressed

I drink nothing with caffeine in it now, I can't handle that shit.

Oh no

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Try to build your life up while the caffeine still keeps you motivated. You don't want to be too far down when the crash comes.

Let's assume for arguments sake that you're right and with proper living and relationships all depression melts away.
How does someone with depression, which kills motivation and pushes people away, turn that all around and become this ideal human you suggest? You're telling a man with no fish that he should learn how to fish, but that this will take effort and time, but this man is starving and needs fish today.
I'm all for improving lives with better diet, exercise, etc, but a pill now is better than nothing, which is what someone with no support and clinical depression will probably get.
Anecdotally I felt depressed for all of high school and that mostly went away once I got a GF and some social life in college. What I had was at worst very mild depression. I was never diagnosed and I can see that many forms of depresssion are real and can't be fixed with better living. The mind is an organ and all organs can be defective or get sick. Berries and crunches don't fix cancer, why would the brain be different.

We're all going to make it guys, we can do it, we're stronger then our demons as long as we never stop fighting.

try and hold off on the pills. They're usually a clusterfuck of side effects, and they don't actually fix your fucked up life they just make you not give a shit. Maybe all you need is to exert yourself

he's exaggerating like a typical faggot ignore him

how old are you

>Deep inside, that empty dark place in me where my fire, my drive is supposed to be, I now feel a spark
I've been on that ride before. It never lasts though. Hope it does for you.

well said

>Give a central nervous system stimulant to someone who is crippled by anxiety and depression
>Haha dude, don't worry about it. Your dreams will last forever

Why don't you just tell him to do coke? That will surely fix all of his problems.

what's with the extreme examples
he's probably just experiencing some kind of placebo effect anyway.

Because I've worked 4 years within biochemistry and I know what psychostimulants can do to the mind. Especially a fragile mind suffering from anxiety and depression.

Just because something is mainstream doesn't mean it's harmless.

Don't forget to shake the managers hand.

Then I think you should know that the main long-term side affect of habitual stimulant use is not a refractory period equivalent to the scale of your consumption, but rather the blunted personal affect and reduced sensation of emotional nuance that ensues.
