Eject all globohomo food and garbage right out of your house and never have it again. Real whole foods and good filtered water made a massive improvement in my ability to cope and get through all this.
The worst part about this is that I made this same sort of post to someone else 8 years ago. I feel like I hit a mental brick wall maybe 4 years ago. I've never been able to recover. The privatejoker of 2015 is almost unrecognizable to me right now
Respect dude. You need to be mindful that this entire existence has been made deliberately unpalatable by the deep state. The debt slavery, the long hours of repetitive work toiling under supervisors deliberately promoted for psychopathy (not a factor in your case).
Our ignorance of natural law due to it being kept from us, of our own consciousness, religions that talk in riddles and seem designed to confuse and set us against each other. The attention of society only focused on the material and the culture being the complete antithesis of the spirit of man. Our science corrupted to send our thought off on spurious vectors to nowhere. Our music - debased, our entertainment - Nil, Our thoughts - controlled through language, Our spirits progressively diminished since birth.
Be proud of the fact that this world makes you sick.
It is without question (the beauty of nature aside) a disgusting, vile, insular, stymied, torturous little shit-hole of a prison planet run by intolerable shit-toadies and replete with utterly transparent bullshit to the point of being driven out of your mind.
Mental illness is a reaction to the carcinogenic malaise of this choad of lies we are all required to imbibe daily.
I too am not recognizable as the GizzardPuke of 2015. Being awake through this period of history has destroyed my respect for 80% of my fellow man.
I believe the outcasts of society have been vindicated. Being estranged from this world is a badge of honor. I don't want to go outside (where there are people) either.
I have no answers for this state of affairs short of truth being ubiquitous again.
I’m sorry fren, I feel your pain on a very deep level. I’ve been there myself several times, I know it can feel impossible to overcome. My go to was pills, anything to dull the edges. But you can get better, even when it feels like you can’t. Reaching out to us is a big step. It used to be so hard for me to talk about it. When I felt really bad but was struggling to admit it I’d tell my husband “I don’t feel good today”, he’d respond with “mentally or physically?”. It doesn’t seem like much, but me just acknowledging my mental state took pressure off. Sometimes we’d go deeper if I wanted to talk, other times I just felt relief that I didn’t have to pretend to be okay. That little release of pressure helped me make other small changes until I started to get better. I still have my days, but I’m no longer in that dark hole feeling like I’ll never escape. Sending good vibes and healing your way.
First... do not harm yourself! This is a moment, and it will pass.
Second... obviously do not harm anyone else.
Third... you were right to reach out here. Many of us are here, with mental health challenges that have been exacerbated since the scamdemic and the stolen election. You are not alone.
If you can, find others with similar challlenges and get together to talk. Ask your wife to help you connect, because she needs to talk to other spouses, too.
Lastly, hang in there. You are reaching out for help,and we are all here.
I'd never hurt myself or anyone else. Aside from the obvious I'm also heartbroken because we have 3 cats and 2 dogs.
I'm not even kidding, I was sitting here an hour ago and one of our dogs walks in, she's half lab half boxer and the smartest dog I've ever known. Anyway she walks into the room and sees me sobbing, she walks up to me and literally stands up on my knees and hugs ne and licks my face. I can't imagine life without all of this. That moment is something i'll never forget though. Heart wrenching
It seems like your meds are not a great fit. I am not a doctor, so my words arenothing more than an armchair opinion. I also work at home by the way. I realized one day that at home I am comfortable, but I unwittingly slip into the mode of stewing in my own juices. It took effort to spend time away from the house and to interact with people and fill my insides with new stimuli. It has helped me tremendously.
What changeagent said; we also WFH and realized that we must get out there anyway. Isolation isn't natural (unless you're one of the few called to hermit life). We need each other. Granted, it's hard to find openly awake people sometimes, but believe me, they are out there. We are here for you too.
The family all went together for the first time to a homeschool conference in person, and there was an unbelievable Dad track. Some speakers have been through the wringer themselves, many people hit rock bottom before finding God again and then they get more productive and inspired than ever.
The advice above is great- get moving, get outside, get busy doing, because sitting still too long for some of us lets our own thoughts get the better of us. We need to climb out of their ruts, channel them and build new paths for them. Not easy, I know, but backing off the meds and replacing with natural stuff is part of it. St John's wort was a starter for me, takes about a month to kick in fully.
I too suffer at times with depression. I understand it. Tell the depression you can take your shoes off and stay awhile, but not for long. When you are in it, the feeling apathy to anything joyful or happy is a soul sucking nightmare.
Of course we are awake to the most tragic realities and even the toughest are affected. If you don’t get mournful and sad with the knowledge you have gained, you have no heart.
My suggestion is if you are on meds for it, stop. Embrace the sad time and feel what you are feeling. Sober. And know that the darkness will leave. Meds make it worse.
Feeling and embracing your depression and then letting it go is key. You are not your depression. You and your wife are feeding off each others low vibes. The positive side is she is not being a bubbly go getter ready to conquer the world which can make one more depressed when they see their partner not ever getting down. Trust me. My guy is like that. Lol.
It’s all good. This time will pass. And No more meds.
I know I need to stop but I guess the fear of feeling again is stopping me. I'm just a mess right now. I'm also a few days off weed so my emotions are all over the place, which isn't helping anything
Fren, I beg you, get the book called The Mood Cure. Amino acid supplements can save your life. I am not kidding. Your body chemistry is responsible for the way you feel. I recommend getting on a carnivore way of eating. Find what Jordan Peterson says about how he recovered from crippling depression by going on a carnivore diet. Also please get your T level checked. Low T zaps all joy right out of you. Also, the aminos and other nutritional support can help you quit drinking. If you keep drinking you will lose absolutely everything. Your wife and your animals. My most beloved, lost me, because of alcohol. What a terrible shame.
But to take Adam Carolla's advice, have you tried classical music and talking a walk or jog daily?
Cognitive disorders tend to be created and resolved through cognition. David D. Burns MD is great with this.
I contend that too much screen time and not enough sun and exercise are big components of feeling unhappy. Take it from a fat guy who loves to play videogames! I feel better when I go for a walk and when I listen to classical or something funny.
I am praying for you and your wife, fren. Honestly, I've red-pilled myself daily for the last 5 years or so and it's a wonder I'm not in the corner curled up in the fetal position. I just gave all the grief, anger, and disgust to God. I was literally horror stricken when I learned about the satanic pedo stuff. I grieve for children I've never met. Sometimes it's too much. So, give it to God, fren. He loves you and he has great plans for you and your wife.
It’s said so much that many disregard it but…Jesus can and will heal you. Do you want to be free of depression? To love life again? To have joy? A purpose?
How badly do you want it? Have you tried to manage this on your own and are failing? Is it bad enough yet that you will do or try anything to fix it?
Then surrender. Believe. Accept Him as your Savior. Ask Jesus to help you clean up your life. You’ll be amazed by what happens next.
I will be praying for you…as I’m sure many others here will also.
I've said a prayer for you and your wife. I'm sorry you're going through this.
Since all of this started, I've been struggling as well. Not with depression, but with anxiety. Currently in a bad bout of it right now. The state of the world and the total uncertainty of our futures has me extremely stressed and scared.
All I can say is to take solace in your wife. Focus on her, and on reconnecting, and on making both of you feel better. Find things to do together, places to go, things to see. If money is an issue (it is for me), I highly recommend rock hounding. It's only as expensive as you make it and can even be as cheap as the cost of gas to get you where you want to look. Plus it's good exercise, too.
Maybe take up swimming this Summer, or start going on walks together every day. Start small and set small goals, then new ones when you accomplish those.
Also, if you're having marital problems, the absolute best thing you two can do is to sit down and put everything out there with the intention of tackling any problems together as a unit. It's not easy being with someone that's depressed, just as it's not easy being depressed yourself. You two can start trying to heal together, and I wish you all the luck in that. :]
Prayers for you too from us, fren! Long walks when the weather is decent is a cheap date, but if we get into town then a little ice cream or soda float is a nice pick-me-up.
Well, now I've read the text of your post instead of just the headline.
Wow. I'm so sorry to hear how you're doing.
Yes, talking about your feelings and listening to your loved ones is important -- critically so. CRYING itself is also important; it's the outlet nature provides for us to deal with certain feelings. It helps a LOT if you can connect with what is making your cry (plenty of people cry and don't know exactly WHY they're crying . . . you'll feel better if you CAN connect, because you'll start to actually resolve the feelings).
I don't know exactly what happened to set off your feelings today, but I hope you get through this time and into a better one.
That sounds -- hell, IS -- pitifully inadequate, but for what it's worth, you have many well-wishers on this board, including me.
Im so depressed and in so much mental pain I can hardly stand it to tell you the truth. I lost my job from the scamdemic. Most of my family has died from cancer in the last few years and now my only child is a full blown alcoholic and drug addict and I cant figure out how to help him. I want to scream until I lose my voice. Scream until the pain subsides at least a little. no one seems to care and I`m losing my mind.
Matthew 11:28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Jesus Christ cares so much about you he died for you. He wants you to put your faith in his death to cover your sins so you can share in the eternal life he won in victory at his resurrection. He is called the Comforter, Emmanuel meaning "God with us", and Savior.
Awful things happen in this life, and we can't handle or understand what purpose these things have often. Eternity will reveal all, but we have this verse for comfort:
Romans 8:28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
I am so sorry to hear all these words and I pray for all of mankind every day. We must keep on speaking up and saving this next generation. We must be a role model for all of them. We are strong and we can do this. I too get very depressed with a husband who is very ill and does not go outside. I know I have limited time with him and with everything else that is going on this world it is easy to be low. My neighborhood used to be so friendly and no one really goes outside or even talks any longer. It is very strange days. I will keep my strength up for those I love and for myself. God bless you all an may he give you the strength that you all need. Thanks for sharing frens.
I've not been severely depressed since before the 2016 election, when I was convinced that Hillary was going to succeed at stealing the election from Trump.
I knew exactly what was coming if that happened, and I also knew the odds of EVER setting things right were near-zero once the Hill-beast had finished what Obama had started. America would be OVER, forever. There would no longer be a strong nation that openly defended freedom and guarded the freedom of its own people at home.
Hell on Earth, in other words.
Thank you once again, Donald Trump and those who helped insure your 2016 election victory, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Q and all involved in the Q team. Thank you to the mods and posters on this board and on The Donald / Patriots.win.
It's the least of your accomplishments, but I'm probably alive today because of your collective efforts. I need to see SOME sanity and decency in the world, and all of you have managed to not only keep that spark alive but to help it to grow, slowly it seems but actually with surprising speed, back to something resembling health. Because yes, every newly "Woke" idiot and publicly-demonstrating Satanist generates hundreds or thousands of truly "AWAKE" people here and around the world. People are sick of it all and ever-more of us just won't take it any more. THAT's how we win. It's the only way we ever COULD win.
So no: I've not been depressed for a long time now; not since November 2016.
I’ve been there brother. There are things you can do including exercise, diet, fresh air, sunlight, prayer, serving others in some form.
Try just doing something small at first so you get a feel of accomplishment from it which will make doing more easier.
Examples: Go for a walk around the block, then do it again the next day, do 20 pushups when you wake up, make a meal and take it to one of your poorer neighbors, drop one unhealthy item from your diet like sugar.
Do something small and start making it a habit. Take care of the physical and your mind will follow. It’s not easy at first, just know the pain is part of the process and that it gets better.
I found that I was crying a lot this spring. The least thing would cause me to cry. My daughter said the same thing. I take a high potency probiotic daily and realized I had stopped taking them. I went out and got another bottle. A different make. ( they used different straine and I wanted to cover them all ) I take one in the morning and one at night. The tears have stopped. Alcohol kills off the good bacteria and causes depression. Change your diet, get rid of the junk food (If it comes in a package or box, don't eat it.) Get into an exercise regimen. Anything from Tai Chi, Yoga, Join a gym, Swimming, anything to move. Buy a lawn mower and mow lawns for a second job. You'll meet and talk with people. Doing things for others really helps lift depression. Meanwhile, you and your wife are in my prayers. God Bless You. These are difficult times.
Find Jesus, through him all things are possible. Take a break from the bad news and enjoy nature, time with loved ones disconnected from the internet. It does a body good. ❤️ to you.
A few years ago I would be commiserating with you but I think I made it past that stage. I went through a very low place in life and I had nobody to lean on except my wife who didn't really get what I was going through so I basically went through it alone and I'll admit alcohol played a huge part in getting through it.
Nothing in my life has changed since then but I'm feeling much better because I asked myself one day what I really want out of life. Let's say for example that they did round everybody up and put us in camps and executed us without us ever knowing what happened to our families. If I were to have my head locked in a guillotine what would I wish for at that moment? I would wish for things to be exactly as they are now.
Do I have a safe place to call home? A roof over my head? A refrigerator to keep food? Running water? A safe place to keep my unnecessary stuff? Can I take a shower any time I want? Can I wash my clothes? Is my family with me?
I am living better than most people who have ever lived.
Life is great.
We are all going through something but let's be realistic...if this is the worst your life will ever get, can you handle it?
My whole life seems like it's been full of trials but I guess everyone has the same story.
I think the saddest issue for me right now is how dead i am inside. Ive gone through so much bullshit in this life I'm just done. I'm over relationships, I don't want to implode anyone else's life. My future right now is moving back to Philly to be with family that I left 20 years ago. I wish I could talk my wife into moving with me.
Those meds are pushing you to the dead space, and you need your wifey. You chose each other and must stick with each other, so if that means hanging back with her until things are right, do what you gotta do. Maybe she can come with you for a time to try it out but if it's not right for both of you, it's not right for you. Positive stance, do the best for you two.
Matthew 11:28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

This is normal and part of the awakening process…. The Five Stages of Waking Up: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance…. You sir are almost home free…. When you reach acceptance… its a beautiful thing
You’re young enough to be my younger brother, so I’m going to talk to you like one.
First, go rewatch the first 15 minutes of movie you got your name from. Be pvt joker, or snowball, just not pvt Pyle.
Go to church private. What? You already do? Find another church. One that, every time you go, you want to walk up to that preacher and say “How did you I needed to hear that today.” Join a men’s Bible study while you’re at it. What? Wife won’t go to church? Go anyway. Bring the church home to her. Be a brighter light for her.
Especially study parts of the New Testament that tell you not to worry.
Go for a short walk with your wife. Just the two of you. It doesn’t have to be a big deal, just “Hey let’s get out for a bit and stretch our legs.”
If at all possible try and back off the pills. I know it’s more complicated than that, depending on what you’re on. See if your doc can reduce them to a baby dose. Eventually you might even be able to ween yourself off. (Ignore this if you’re bipolar though - advice for fixing that is way beyond my pay grade, but it is possible).
Take a good look at the responses to this post. Care for yourself at least as much as a bunch of strangers do.
Get some rest. And if you truly need an older brother to talk to, pm me.
I have had the black dog bite me for over 40 years fren, its not to be pushed aside lightly, the pills are a main part of the problem I have found.
Are you in a city or the country? Getting out into the country works wonders, on a nice day with bees buzzing and larks singing their praises in the heavens, that is very healing.
I will pray for you, and I would like you to pray for yourself as well, the prayers will synchronise and become more powerful if you do.
May the Lord bless Privatejoker may he pour out his grace in abundance over him and his wife, in the name of the Father, the Son and the holy Spirit, Amen
You can quit drinking. When people told me alcohol was a depressant, I thought it meant while you were drinking. I didn't realize it meant it would make depression creep into your life all day every day, drunk sober hungover. All the time.
It takes like a solid 2 weeks to purge it from your system and begin to feel your brain chemistry start to sort itself out.
Anyways it's not that big of a deal to exchange the short term drinking pleasure reward for long term happiness and having your shit together.
Get regular exercise and maybe microdose psylocybin.
Remember, toxins make you sick twice, once when they go in, and once when they come out. That goes for toxins in the mind and your relationships and even spiritual toxins.
We are not losing to a bunch of cross-dressing satanic pedophiles
I feel like I'm being tested and I'm failing but this made me laugh.
I honestly feel like I'm living karmic retribution in real time
That's the fight of our lifetime.
Maybe the OP can figure that out and have focus.
That was probably THE best possible first response to the OP. Well done.
Dude - man advice: Start working out, find a hobby, stop internalizing every thing, and get right with God.
Eject all globohomo food and garbage right out of your house and never have it again. Real whole foods and good filtered water made a massive improvement in my ability to cope and get through all this.
Also make a habit of writing down what you are thankful for every day. Start with 5 things and then add 1 more everyday. Constantly review this list
The worst part about this is that I made this same sort of post to someone else 8 years ago. I feel like I hit a mental brick wall maybe 4 years ago. I've never been able to recover. The privatejoker of 2015 is almost unrecognizable to me right now

m so depressed and in so much mental pain I can hardly stand it to tell you the truth. I lost my job from the scamdemic. Most of my family has died from cancer in the last few years and now my only child is a full blown alcoholic and drug addict and I cant figure out how to help him. I want to scream until I lose my voice. Scream until the pain subsides at least a little. no one seems to care and I`m losing my mind.Matthew 11:28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Jesus Christ cares so much about you he died for you. He wants you to put your faith in his death to cover your sins so you can share in the eternal life he won in victory at his resurrection. He is called the Comforter, Emmanuel meaning "God with us", and Savior.
Awful things happen in this life, and we can't handle or understand what purpose these things have often. Eternity will reveal all, but we have this verse for comfort:
Romans 8:28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
:( this made me cry
please check out a website called 'the addicts mom' (also for dad's). Amazing help for parents of addicts. Blessings.
I am so sorry to hear all these words and I pray for all of mankind every day. We must keep on speaking up and saving this next generation. We must be a role model for all of them. We are strong and we can do this. I too get very depressed with a husband who is very ill and does not go outside. I know I have limited time with him and with everything else that is going on this world it is easy to be low. My neighborhood used to be so friendly and no one really goes outside or even talks any longer. It is very strange days. I will keep my strength up for those I love and for myself. God bless you all an may he give you the strength that you all need. Thanks for sharing frens.
I've not been severely depressed since before the 2016 election, when I was convinced that Hillary was going to succeed at stealing the election from Trump.
I knew exactly what was coming if that happened, and I also knew the odds of EVER setting things right were near-zero once the Hill-beast had finished what Obama had started. America would be OVER, forever. There would no longer be a strong nation that openly defended freedom and guarded the freedom of its own people at home.
Hell on Earth, in other words.
Thank you once again, Donald Trump and those who helped insure your 2016 election victory, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Q and all involved in the Q team. Thank you to the mods and posters on this board and on The Donald / Patriots.win.
It's the least of your accomplishments, but I'm probably alive today because of your collective efforts. I need to see SOME sanity and decency in the world, and all of you have managed to not only keep that spark alive but to help it to grow, slowly it seems but actually with surprising speed, back to something resembling health. Because yes, every newly "Woke" idiot and publicly-demonstrating Satanist generates hundreds or thousands of truly "AWAKE" people here and around the world. People are sick of it all and ever-more of us just won't take it any more. THAT's how we win. It's the only way we ever COULD win.
So no: I've not been depressed for a long time now; not since November 2016.
I’ve been there brother. There are things you can do including exercise, diet, fresh air, sunlight, prayer, serving others in some form.
Try just doing something small at first so you get a feel of accomplishment from it which will make doing more easier.
Examples: Go for a walk around the block, then do it again the next day, do 20 pushups when you wake up, make a meal and take it to one of your poorer neighbors, drop one unhealthy item from your diet like sugar.
Do something small and start making it a habit. Take care of the physical and your mind will follow. It’s not easy at first, just know the pain is part of the process and that it gets better.
Don’t forget to pray.
I found that I was crying a lot this spring. The least thing would cause me to cry. My daughter said the same thing. I take a high potency probiotic daily and realized I had stopped taking them. I went out and got another bottle. A different make. ( they used different straine and I wanted to cover them all ) I take one in the morning and one at night. The tears have stopped. Alcohol kills off the good bacteria and causes depression. Change your diet, get rid of the junk food (If it comes in a package or box, don't eat it.) Get into an exercise regimen. Anything from Tai Chi, Yoga, Join a gym, Swimming, anything to move. Buy a lawn mower and mow lawns for a second job. You'll meet and talk with people. Doing things for others really helps lift depression. Meanwhile, you and your wife are in my prayers. God Bless You. These are difficult times.
Find Jesus, through him all things are possible. Take a break from the bad news and enjoy nature, time with loved ones disconnected from the internet. It does a body good. ❤️ to you.
A few years ago I would be commiserating with you but I think I made it past that stage. I went through a very low place in life and I had nobody to lean on except my wife who didn't really get what I was going through so I basically went through it alone and I'll admit alcohol played a huge part in getting through it.
Nothing in my life has changed since then but I'm feeling much better because I asked myself one day what I really want out of life. Let's say for example that they did round everybody up and put us in camps and executed us without us ever knowing what happened to our families. If I were to have my head locked in a guillotine what would I wish for at that moment? I would wish for things to be exactly as they are now.
Do I have a safe place to call home? A roof over my head? A refrigerator to keep food? Running water? A safe place to keep my unnecessary stuff? Can I take a shower any time I want? Can I wash my clothes? Is my family with me?
I am living better than most people who have ever lived.
Life is great.
We are all going through something but let's be realistic...if this is the worst your life will ever get, can you handle it?
My whole life seems like it's been full of trials but I guess everyone has the same story.
I think the saddest issue for me right now is how dead i am inside. Ive gone through so much bullshit in this life I'm just done. I'm over relationships, I don't want to implode anyone else's life. My future right now is moving back to Philly to be with family that I left 20 years ago. I wish I could talk my wife into moving with me.
Sorry I'm all over the place right now.
Those meds are pushing you to the dead space, and you need your wifey. You chose each other and must stick with each other, so if that means hanging back with her until things are right, do what you gotta do. Maybe she can come with you for a time to try it out but if it's not right for both of you, it's not right for you. Positive stance, do the best for you two.
Matthew 11:28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

This is normal and part of the awakening process…. The Five Stages of Waking Up: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance…. You sir are almost home free…. When you reach acceptance… its a beautiful thing
You’re young enough to be my younger brother, so I’m going to talk to you like one.
First, go rewatch the first 15 minutes of movie you got your name from. Be pvt joker, or snowball, just not pvt Pyle.
Go to church private. What? You already do? Find another church. One that, every time you go, you want to walk up to that preacher and say “How did you I needed to hear that today.” Join a men’s Bible study while you’re at it. What? Wife won’t go to church? Go anyway. Bring the church home to her. Be a brighter light for her.
Especially study parts of the New Testament that tell you not to worry.
Go for a short walk with your wife. Just the two of you. It doesn’t have to be a big deal, just “Hey let’s get out for a bit and stretch our legs.”
If at all possible try and back off the pills. I know it’s more complicated than that, depending on what you’re on. See if your doc can reduce them to a baby dose. Eventually you might even be able to ween yourself off. (Ignore this if you’re bipolar though - advice for fixing that is way beyond my pay grade, but it is possible).
Take a good look at the responses to this post. Care for yourself at least as much as a bunch of strangers do.
Get some rest. And if you truly need an older brother to talk to, pm me.
I have had the black dog bite me for over 40 years fren, its not to be pushed aside lightly, the pills are a main part of the problem I have found.
Are you in a city or the country? Getting out into the country works wonders, on a nice day with bees buzzing and larks singing their praises in the heavens, that is very healing.
I will pray for you, and I would like you to pray for yourself as well, the prayers will synchronise and become more powerful if you do.
May the Lord bless Privatejoker may he pour out his grace in abundance over him and his wife, in the name of the Father, the Son and the holy Spirit, Amen
You can quit drinking. When people told me alcohol was a depressant, I thought it meant while you were drinking. I didn't realize it meant it would make depression creep into your life all day every day, drunk sober hungover. All the time.
It takes like a solid 2 weeks to purge it from your system and begin to feel your brain chemistry start to sort itself out.
Anyways it's not that big of a deal to exchange the short term drinking pleasure reward for long term happiness and having your shit together.
Get regular exercise and maybe microdose psylocybin.
Remember, toxins make you sick twice, once when they go in, and once when they come out. That goes for toxins in the mind and your relationships and even spiritual toxins.
You are already healing.
