I didn't go through with that and I took off to the streets of Elmira, the social worker supposedly found me on the campus of Elmira college naked and covered in my own blood (It was like 40-something degrees outside) with broken glass stuck to my chest, but I think they made up that part to hide the fact that the Chinese Communist Party did in fact have their assets watching me from across the street, flashing lights at me in Morse code to try and get me to turn the Firebird into an AnFo bomb.


I was in the tard hatch for two months until my mom and sister came up from Florida to get me.

I know that feeling, bro.

I don't know, but I should have in retrospect. Perhaps the rest could have been avoided.

This may be the funniest sh*t I've ever read on this site, bravo good sir!

Why do you think the CIA wanted you to bang the chunky Puerto Rican girl?

My depression is back.

Hard.

I've been on 150mg of Wellbutrin for just under a month and I'm upping it to 300mg. The last few days have been...awful. Just numb to the world. Pit of dark despair nothingness in my brain. Work is not helping. Hopefully this is temporary. Hopefully the meds help.

If I'm a bit absent, this is why. I have been for weeks.

Oh no, that's horrible. Thank you for telling this and please do stay in touch, I know that can be difficult. Can/do you get help apart from medicines?

I'm stable. I was on Wellbutrin for years. Went off about 16 months ago but with all the Covid sh*t and just overall low morale of the world and myself, my depression spiked back up. I'm actively working on it and should be fine hopefully. I'm not the suicidal type so no worries there although you never know if it gets too bad. I had a bad night once where I thought about it for a few moments. It's just more of a "I have no feelings" right now.

I'll be alright.

I'm sorry to hear that Exo, that sucks. I've had friends and close family that have gone through this kind of stuff. Is the depression coupled with anxiety?

Someone very close to me has taken similar medications in the past and has claimed they have induced this numbing feeling you're referring to. They told me it made them feel like a robot and made a lot of simple joys very fleeting, despite the fact that it did address the depression.

I don't want to pry into your life, but if there are underlying events that are overwhelming you, therapy can sometimes help (depending on the situation). Problem of course though, is that it isn't cheap.

I usually get a good deal of energy and motivation from it but it's either not enough to work in my system right now or it's taking a long time. It's definitely anxiety driven depression as well.
