Antidepressants

Seriously, when you’re depressed to the point of self unaliving ideation it’s inconceivable to be optimistic. But when you’re not depressed it’s hard even to imagine the level of misery depressed person is going through. All of this to say, hopelessness and despair isn’t normal – even in modern times.

A lot of people I know is on antidepressants or used to be at some point. Talk to random acquaintances about potential psychiatrist visit and some of them could actually get you some leftover drugs for free. Sometimes taking just one week course is enough to feel that it’s working.
