Weird the way you endlessly whine on here about how awful your life is, yet if anyone is stupid enough to want to help then you get all pissed off.
Besides, saying what your diet consists of wouldn't take long, In fact it would only consist of three letters: McD

Mostly pre-prepared food items that are easy to fix. Or, occasionally, yes, McD's.

So processed crap and probably "soda", maybe far too much coffee..etc.. not good at all, no wonder your brain is backfiring.

Go up the shops and purchase natural vegetables, especially dark greens, Kale for example. Natural 100% orange juice, no added sugar. If bread, wholemeal not white. Cut down on sugar intake (*use raw sugar) - DONT purchase "soda". Drink plenty of water and of course, beer (*woops, that's a habit)

GET OUT AND MEET NORMAL PEOPLE - stop going to that "christian" group (*freak club)
Thus - go to a pub and play pool with people, you might get lucky and meet a slut.

For the millionth time, WEEN yourself off the "meds"...they are not addressing the CAUSE.

If weird shit keeps popping into your head, think of something else, like lemon sherbets (*mmm, lemon candy with sherbet inside)...

If more weird shit pops back into your head then think of President Xi Jin Ping Pong sitting on the toilet (*he does!! how hilarious is that!) also, consider Putin on the bog. Soon weird thoughts will vanish like steam off poop.

There aren't many vegetables that I'm fond of. I eat broccoli from time to time but not much else unless it's part of a TV dinner or something I just throw in the microwave.

You cannot be serious man!!

Do you have pots n pans and a stove\cooker to actually cook REAL food?

I can't say I love veg to a great degree re the taste so do prefer to have stuff to sweeten the deal. Tomorrow I plan to do the cauliflower/broccoli cheese bake, heck, gonna chuck some carrots in too...some mash on the side, much nicer than "microwave TV dinner".
You go on about how little humans have regard for each other, yet are subjecting yourself to the shite that man makes via processed "food" - factory made crap via big corp to make money out of ...mmm...some.

I find chopping veg and cooking very therapeutic, don't you? Maybe join a cooking club, learn to cook if you can't be bothered to teach yourself? (*far more interesting than hanging out in some "christian" freak club)

It feels so good when you put the veg bake in the oven, check the clock and 35-45 mins, yum time. I tend to use parmesan these days in the cheese sauce that I pour over the veg, a bit more bang for your buck. Also, a teaspoon of English mustard gives it a nice twang.

If you just sit on your arse vegetating until you feel like eating, so get a microwave meal and chuck it in the microwave, what sense of accomplishment is that!?

The internet is awesome for recipes. I don't like kale but I will eat it, my dog gets some too mixed in to his kangaroo mince. Yes, will put some kale into my cheese sauce bake too tomorrow

Also, exercise? I do at least an hr walk per day...I hear that there is this place called 'gym' but I have never bothered with that - probably should but not my scene, and boring. I can't run unless I am chasing a ball...a friend of mine does marathons fuk knows why, boring.


Gazza, honestly, sounds like your mind/body is screaming out for NATURAL nature provided good stuff. Exercise & nutrition, wow, I'm no doctor but those shrinks that keep experimenting "meds" on you without getting to what else could be a causal factor, wot a bunch of c$nts, only interested in the kick back they get from pharma...more scum humans right there.

How's the cooking healthy natural food coming along Gazz? Yesterday I made the tastiest bolognaise I have ever made! Simmered it for 2 hrs and wow..got a massive pot left over in the fridge, going to reheat a small amount later n cook some more fettuccine for it, the rest will be put into freezer containers for ron.

It's winter here, so this time of year I cook soups and warm hearty food, stews etc.. Summer is salads and salmon, seafood etc...I think you live in Florida which is pretty much warm/hot all year around so ya, I do like the four seasons we get in Adelaide - it's rather cold atm overcast and rainy, didn't even walk the dog yesterday.

I'm having breaded fish filets and tater tots for dinner tonight. Does that count for any points?

FFS. How lazy does someone need to be? I presume you have to heat up those revolting 'tater tot' things. It would be just as 'fast food' to boil some potatoes and frozen peas and fry a piece of real fish.

Throwing something in a pan in the oven or a plate in the microwave is infinitely easier and doesn't dirty up as many dishes. If you had depression, you wouldn't have much energy either.

By the way, accusing someone with depression of being "lazy" generally doesn't help with depression. It just demoralizes us that much more.

Oh really. A pot and a frying pan and a plate. So many dishes. I think you enjoy being miserable. I'm sure you are the only person on the planet with depression.

Depression is a real thing. It's a well-known symptom that mental health specialists recognize and deal with on a common basis.

Nope, and it does NOTHING to assist your brain out of the black hole of depression. Make an effort, see the results.

Every time I've been in that hole I've had to dig myself out by making some moves - exercise, no booze & good food WORKS!! The last thing on Earth I'd do is go to some arsehole called a 'doctor' and ask for medication!!!

Have you heard of treating the symptom and not the cause?

Why are you telling me? Do you think I don't know that? You are so self-absorbed it's unbearable. And LITERAL.

Well, you stated you're "sure I am the only person on the planet with depression." Did you typo and mean to say, I'm NOT the only person on the planet with depression? That would be why I told you what I told you.

I'm not on medication voluntarily. I've been put on it by psychiatrists when I've been admitted to mental hospitals. I've tried going off the meds multiple times, and I always end up hospitalized again with a paranoid psychosis, and they just put me on the meds again. Otherwise, I wouldn't be taking the meds.

The anti-psychotics seem to cause apathy and depression because when I go off them, I usually start to feel more vitality and drive after a while, until I have a psychosis, then it's rinse and repeat.

Honestly, TREAT THE CAUSE!! FFS!!

You're doing nothing to attempt to make your brain function in a healthy way.

The only reason your brain is malfunctioning is because you are not exercising, eating healthy and pursuing interesting hobbies, social activities..

IT''S a CATCH 22 <--- I know, I've sort of been there at times!!

Again, my advice and yep I am not a doctor, I just consider myself an intelligent oracle

At least 1 hr walk every day.
Pursue hobbies/interests/social interactions (*not with wack-job know nothing 'christian' wankas <-- **KEEP AWAY FROM THEM)
Enjoy going to the shops with a list of good food to purchase (* I can help with a shopping list if you want )
Learn to cook - it's so bloody easy and therapeutic.
AND
WEEN off of the meds, keep 1 only on hand - I'd recommend Olanzapine, if you start to feel "psyched", take 10mg and have a deep sleep.

Honestly, I know both sides of the equation - FAR better than just some nob that went to Uni and got certification to "treat" people- they are clueless.
