#23 Dealing with Anxiety/Depression in Off Topic
conductorThe understanding of the nature and causes of depression has evolved over the centuries, though this understanding is incomplete and has left many aspects of depression as the subject of discussion and research.

uh isn't this basically true about a lot of illnesses

Lights_KhakiI guess you don't know how mental illness works, okthere are different levels of severity, ok

when I say depression I'm talking about MDD, not those pussy, "oh i have dysphoria and get a little sad from time to time" problems

#13 Dealing with Anxiety/Depression in Off Topic
Platypusjoddi'm going to assume with your aforementioned diagnoses that you have already seen a psychiatrist or another licensed mental health professional. did they recommend a course of action for you? i suspect it would include some individual therapy, which is crucial to get through these troubled times you're currently having.

working at a mental health/substance abuse treatment facility, i urge you to stay away from prescription medication if at all possible (and 9 times out of 10, it is very possible). there are a plethora of other options you can explore before getting on medication: natural supplements, changing your diet, exercising, journaling, etc.

i've seen clients from 15-70+ years old who are dependent on anti-anxiety/anti-depression medication who exhibit no real effort to make actual therapeutic progress, and instead stay wrapped up in this blanket of pharmaceuticals that tend to just numb and hollow you out.

i'm assuming you're fairly young, which is the best time to start tackling these issues. sometimes, these things go undiagnosed/untreated and end up resulting in addictions or other unhealthy habits to cope with uncomfortable feelings (like anxiety).

i applaud your self-awareness and respect your effort to reach out for help on these forums. however, just as the above poster stated, there is only so much that can be done over a computer screen.
I cannot agree more with this. I was perscribed fairly strong antidepressants to deal with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder), which fucked with me beyond belief. The side effects are awful, and psychiatrists are far too quick to throw perscriptions at the problem. For me, it was more about learning to stop lingering on the shitty things in life, even if it means some major changes in your day-to-day, and just do what makes you happy.

If you can manage your depression without medication, you don't have a mental disorder

Antidepressants get a lot of shit due to side effects or not being able to aptly determine which one is right for you or if they'll even work(which is fair), but just because of that, doesn't mean they're not extremely helpful and necessary for a lot of people. It's the same thing with antipsychotics, most meds that help alleviate schizophrenia/dementia/mania/borderline disorders also completely zombify the person and make it difficult for them to really feel genuine emotions or function as a normal person, however I really doubt people would encourage mentally people to go off their antipsychotics, since the result would probably be them murdering someone or committing suicide.

#15 Quake and Tf2 in TF2 General Discussion

you might not necessarily want the same sensitivity for both games seeing as how they are different and may require different mouse movements

#2 Can you shoot a sticky in the air? in TF2 General Discussion

no it has to land on the ground

you use to be able to shoot pipe grenades that had landed on the ground and they'd disappear

#19 RIP CROSSBOW in TF2 General Discussion
Daggerif anything this made it more powerful. What would you rather do. Shoot 3 arrows at a scout and hit 1 for 75 damage or shoot 6 arrows and hit 2 for 50 damage each?

if you're firing crossbow arrows at the enemy, you're probably not going to live for very long, therefore burst damage would be favorable over more damage per second

unless the scout's just bad

#3 Office chairs? in Hardware

If you want one where the back doesn't break after like 4 months and that doesn't cost 5 billion dollars, you might look into a good task chair

#12 Steam passes 65 million users milestone in Off Topic

someone should make a graph or chart or some sort of science-y device that shows the exorbitant amount of money you save over time building a pc and buying games on steam

not to mention better online play, legit first person shooter controls, 61+fps, higher quality visuals, etc
