How does one do it???

[CapedCrusader08]

I don't know how,or am too afraid. I suffer from depression and anxiety,this has hindered me in many aspects of life,and I don't know the feeling of success and victory. I am 23 now,and this has gone on for too long. I feel like I am really lacking in life,girls,education,social,etc. It's like I dropped the ball and can't pick it back up. Plus,my own inexperience is really getting to me. I def qualify for "incel"....

Do you currently take any medications? If so, TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR about getting off of them.

Knowing that you are stronger than the meds can be a great step towards self realization.

Thanks tsmith.

I was a victim of valium and prozac...two of the worst meds on the planet. Now I am off of them completely and i can feel a realization and i strive to be an even better person.

The meds make you OK with life, which is not proactive to the world of pick up.

Also, im obviously speaking about behavioral medications...not stuff that you take for diabetes, heart, etc. Medicines for physical use are still fine (so long as you absolutely need them)

totally agree with the get off meds advice. prozac especially was bad for me in that it stabilized my moods to a point where I didn't feel much emotion. whats the point of living if you can't feel emotion? having said that be careful with it and discuss with your doctor, he will give you a proper schedule on how to ween yourself off them.

but referring to the original post. 23 is still plenty young. you have a long successful life ahead of you and it starts tomorrow. start taking care of yourself first and foremost. exercise, eat well, be positive, etc .. once you get yourself in line all else will follow. good luck
