What up all? I am in a weird spot right now, and I figured I would share my experience with you as some of you may relate.
Generally I am a laid back, easy going person. I am fairly content most of the time, and I am very go with the flow. Hakkuna Matata and what not.
However, every so often (maybe every few months or so, I haven’t really kept track) I get into what I would call a “slump” I don’t want to be around anyone. I don’t want to do anything. I am just generally discontent or upset, and I don’t know why. The fact that I don’t know why I am upset makes me even more frustrated.
I don’t want to think about it, yet at the same time I can’t find joy in doing anything that will take my mind off it. It’s a catch 22. Does anyone else ever get these bouts of temporary discontent?
Disclaimer: I am not trying to say I have a mental illness or what I deal with is even remotely close to what those dealing with mental illnesses face, I’m just annoyed and explaining how I feel in hopes that some other people know what I’m talking about.

My question is how long do these slumps last for? You say they happen every few months but what is the ratio of time say you were feeling like this opposed to when you feel normal?

Probably about a week or so. This time I decided to start documenting it.
Lucem, I don’t think it’s Manic-depressive disorder because I don’t feel depressed persay. It’s almost like a mix of mild depression and mild anxiety at the same time.
Scruffy, I’ve had plenty of good parties the last few months, as well as missions. It just happens sometimes, then it goes away and I’m back to normal. It would just be nice if I knew why so I could expodite the process.

I’m thinking it’s some kind of manic depression. Like, if it’s a deep dark sadness that makes you feel and think in a way that even scares yourself it might be manic depression.
That’s how I am most of the time. When my mom was pregnant with me she went through a big depression and I feel like she gave birth to a black cloud, I tend to scare away most of the people around me with the fucked up shit I say, like at first they think I’m just joking and I have a real dark sense of humor then it sinks in, my ex from a few years ago suddenly stopped talking to me over it. Just told me ‘bye’ and never heard from her again. I got a lot of problems but look at my fucking whoop count. Get on my level.
I really shouldn’t make a habit of ironically bragging about my whoop count to make fun of people that care about it. That’s how people start saying ‘fo shizzle my nizzle’.

Pretty common actually. Sounds like depression not manic depressive disorder. Manic depressives can be angry even violent and don’t necessarily avoid people they generally seek out confrontation based on day to day moods or even hour to hour moods. They can go from happy as shit to sad as fuck in under an hour without anything happening to trigger it.
Yours sounds like regular depression. this can be triggered by anything from stressful work or living situations. Too much contemplation and over focused anxiety. Even something as simple as being bored can cause it in some people.
Disclosure – I have a degree in Child Psychology and Psychology but being as I do not know you I don’t feel comfortable saying this is 100% what you have just a guess.
Depression and Anxiety can be rough. I have anxiety and it turns into anger. Since my accident the damage caused to my head my anxiety is 10x worse and my patience is non-existent most of the time. I use FLH and you guys as a bridge to help me get shit off my chest and to have a social life because I tend to have mood swings now and honestly Juggalos are the only mother fuckers besides my family that put up with me.

That would probably be helpful. I get down and out on a pretty regular basis but only for a day or two at a time. Admittedly the frequency is four or five days a month so actually were in a funk pretty much the same amount of time just for different durations.

I would like to add Anxiety and Depression are common. Over 90% of human beings will experience one or both in their lifetimes. They generally are treated short term and not long term. Anxiety sometimes is treated long term in extreme cases but depression comes in waves generally. People can experience it for 6 months straight then have no symptoms for years.
It all depends on factors involved in your life. If you do not feel suicidal or angry I would not worry too much. You can document it maybe start a journal and write down your feelings but when I would worry is when suicidal thoughts or anger gets involved.

That’s rough, man. My dad was in a car accident before I was born and it fucked him up mentally and physically for the rest of his life.
I was seeing a psychiatrist for a minute, he thought I might have mild depression. He had me on Vyvanse for ADHD and another medication for mild depression when I learned he prescribed more medication than anyone in my city and I stopped going back.

I DO have a fucked up sense of humor, so I would probably laugh and then feel bad when I realized you were serious.

ADHD in adults can be handled without medication easily. Not sure why he worried much about that but like I said he knows you I do not. My first suggestion for depression is to try and FORCE yourself to be socially active and get out the house. Worst thing to do is sit in the house alone. If that doesn’t help and you find your self bringing others down medication may be needed.

Is it true that you’re not supposed to encourage people going through anxiety to cry because they might start hyperventilating?
Ok, so this is a rough one. Many opinions both way. My opinion is during an episode it is dumb to encourage them to get it all out whether it be anger,sadness or any other emotion because from personal experience I hyperventilate when I do which makes me feel like I am choking if I am crying or yelling at the same time and it is damn scary which makes me even more anxious.
When not under an episode I see no issue with it. It is always good to get shit off your shoulders.
Once again I am not a doctor I just have an education in these fields.

Okay, cause I literally told a girl who said she was going to cry to let it all it. Everybody else was telling her not to cry and my idea was that I didn’t want her to feel judged over it and to give her a safe place to cry. Then this other girl started hitting me for it, I didn’t think I deserved the assault.
Also, I used to have really bad social anxiety and then one day it stopped and I just stopped giving a fuck about other people’s opinions because people suck anyways. Is it possible that it could come back?

Doubtful…social anxiety works very differently. It is almost a mind game based usually on low self esteem or the perception of being “too different to be accepted”. The whole premise for social anxiety is that you worry too much what others think. Since you don’t give a shit anymore it wont come back unless you start giving a shit. It would take a huge life change or something tramatic to go from not giving a shit to social anxiety.
Usually people outgrow social anxiety.
Maybe if you got married. I can get a little socially anxious on what my wife thinks about general things.
EDIT: I need to start a show or something. We can call it. “Mind of a Juggalo” with Dr.Nyro. LMFAO

He was medicating me because he medicated all of his patients. That’s why I stopped going. I can’t like, I really liked the Vyvanse. That’s part of the reason I stopped taking it.
Like I said I am not a doctor but medication should always be used as a last resort after a proper evaluation is done. In most minor cases people can easily handle their minor depression and anxiety by keeping their mind occupied and doing positive things with their life.
