Original wording (Cantonese): "你一食葯就会食到老嘅啦“ (Once you start, you will need to continue till you get old (aka: till your death))
Oh okay mom… “唔食藥而家死咗就唔使到老囉” (If I don’t get medicated, I die now and no need to get old) (didn’t actually say it, but really want to)
This culture is gonna kill me 😭
Does Mom wear glasses? She shouldn’t, she’ll rely on them forever.
Does Mom wear a jacket when cold? She shouldn’t, she’ll rely on one forever.
Does Mom wear shoes…?
Oh she keeps talking about “side effects” of medications…
I guess she’ll find out real soon the “side effects” of depression (like having to attend a funeral of your son who loved you)

There is so much to life beyond this. So much that this will seem insignificant, maybe even silly.
I truly hope you make it there, and stop living for someone else
Logically I want to live
Emotionally I have an attachment to my mom (plus finanical dependence)
Emotions are irrational
Attachment is irrational
Its a chemical
Just like depression
I don’t think free will exists
If the chemicals in my brain are telling me to jump off a bridge… there’s no way for me to stop it…
its just chemical…
You can’t tell a computer to “just don’t fucking shut down, stay booted”, when you deleted system32, when systemfiles are corrupted…
Have you exercised today? If not get off the internet and do it now
I know you are trying to help but i have never known such commentary to do any good towards a depressed person.
At worst it can even make them worse because now the depression is their own fault for not exercising enough.
While I get what you mean and the person you are replying to was very flippant about it, there are studies that show moderate exercise outdoors (going for a walk) to be as effective as chemical antidepressants.
I am currently in a deep depression and on SSRIs and my doctor told me about those studies. Yes it’s hard to get outside, but the positive effects of sunlight + moving your body on depressed people are scientifically proven. And it can be helpful to know that going for a walk is actually useful and not a waste of time. It won’t cure a depression, but the positive effects shouldn’t be dismissed either.
ok
Aaaah no energy
I like to do “chill” stuff like just slowly walking in a park… but um… the sun is already setting so maybe tomorrow (it’s now 18:52)
Don’t wanna get abducted in the dark lol…
Takes a lot of energy to just put on clothes and go outside… germophobia… to anxious of ourside…
Wait wtf why do I wanna die and also germophobic…
wtf brain.exe? So I’m afraid of dying and wanna die? The fuck?
Sounds like you don’t want to die, you just don’t want to live the way you’re currently living. But, don’t listen to me, I don’t jack from shit.
Do you have anyone besides your mother and online friends to interact with on a regular basis? People you like to be around, I mean? Genuine question, I am not trying to be a dick.
Yes! Same with cholesterol or blood pressure medications. If you need them, you should use them…
