1. Good on ya for trying hard!!

   U need to get out of your house and live somewhere else, get off the phone and go live doing random shit. Pickle ball, different job, study something fun, go skydiving maybe you’ll become a sky diving instructor. When life is stuck you have to change something yourself.

2. My guy are you sure its depression and not autism burn out? Those meds will make it worse

3. Read a book.
   Run.
   Hike.
   Listen music.
   Watch a movie.
   Funny clips for a good laugh.
   …….etc……
   These work for me when I feel low.
   I am 45 .

4. Try Brazilian jiu jitsu, maybe its something for you. I know its been thrown around like its something magical, but it really is fun, hard, exciting, you’ll gain some friends. All the best

5. You got this, bro. That age is rough.

   Try to find one thing in your life that brings you joy or fulfilment and focus on that.

   Not having a target/focus is bad for mens mental health. Even if its small like I will get out of bed before 8am everyday this week and contribute to the household chores

6. My wife is diagnosed AuDHD with an OCD diagnosis she argues doesn’t fit. She has had years long episodes of depression and rumination is one of her biggest challenges.

   I’m not a religious person but I thank whatever magic or higher power or rolls of the dice that she is still here with me. She has never attempted anything but we have both had intrusive thoughts and know that fight.

   Life can get better. You can have joy and feel the breeze. I’ve watched it happen. I’ve had it happen. We have a sweet and wonderful kid together. I live to see the two of them smile. When my wife finds a reprieve from her internal life her smile is so warm.

   Lots of people on social media will try and give you specific things they think are going to help. Maybe some of it will. The thing I want to say as a 47 year old father and partner and person who has lost friends to their internal fight is, keep living. Keep pushing for yourself to find a few moments of the breeze on your face or a hug from someone supportive. Ask for help. Talk when you are scared to.

   So many of us are walking around barely holding on at times and having shouting matches with our brains. It’s the human condition. If you can find community, a support group, group therapy or some club or group activity, it can all help break you out of your shell.

   I hope you have supportive people in your life and good care providers. Keep getting up. When you are stuck take a moment to shower or eat something or do some self care of some sort. You are worth taking care of yourself. We all are.

   Sorry for the old guy rambling.

7. Since you’ve tried ketamine already: 5g of shrooms, by yourself, with someone you trust nearby just in case.

8. Try magic mushrooms, plenty of documentaries and it’s becoming legal in many countries due to finding out it can sort of cure depression, anxiety, PTSD and few other mental issues currently only had aid treatment … What do I mean sort of cure. The documentaries had small group but of the worse case depression patients in UK and all of them after one dose and therapy during the trip, were cured and no longer needing dozens of pills and such from anywhere from 6-36 months, so half a year was one case, most didn’t need another dose for year n half to two years and one? person didn’t need it until 3 years. Trips last 6-8 hours and even if it works for just 6 months it’s better than being numb to the world or feeling depressed.

   Seems that magic mushrooms have the ability to regulate hormones, and rewire the brain to make the individual function better as an individual. This is why it’s helping with anxiety, depression and PTSD. The human brain has a receptor that isn’t used for anything except the reactive drug, so it would seem we evolved alongside these mushrooms and should be part of our diet, in very small dosage.

   It’s certainly something to look into, esp. as you can get mushrooms imported from legal countries into UK easily as they have generic mushroom smell until they fruit and so getting them through customs/delivered is easy and safe

10. The worst thing with depression is most people can’t get motivated to get off their ass so I think you can actually do that. Just going for a 5 minute work daily is a start. Exercise helps but it’s the actual getting ready is the hard part. It’s easier not to. If you start with a 2-5 minute walk, if that’s all you can do, that’s a start. Afterwards hopefully you’ll go for 10 minutes and so on. It’s tough but by the sounds of it, you want to get better. Exercise can cause a lot of time but it’s giving yourself that kick in the ass to do it. That’s the most difficult part. You can do it.

11. Hey Bro. This is happening to so many people around the world right now that some are attributing it to external factors.

    I don’t have an answer for you that will solve the problems, except be patient.

    Hope & pray for things to improve. And patience to get through the dark times.

    It’s not just you. Just feels that way.

12. Army? Or other ways to hand over control of your life to others (but don’t do crime please).

13. It gets better even if you can’t see that now and I should know 😉 i know it is not easy but try not to be so hard on yourself, you are not seeing all you achieve just making it day by day is something you should be proud of
