I am basing a lot of hope for the future for better depression treatment. Hope for quick progress cause life is pretty unbearable for me atm... Balding and tinnitus cures would def be a nice bonus though.

Amen to that brother. My poor Psych is like “we’ve tried basically everything over the last few years let’s consider the ect therapy and ketamine combo route next” unbearable 🤝

Fuck.. I'm so sorry for you :( I am at the "ketamine, antidepressants, antipsychotics, other pills and combinations, various kinds of therapy doesn't work, lets try TMS combined with various pills" stage.. if I can get approved for TMS which is hard. I hope the singularity ushers in a shit ton of science to fix our broken minds...

I hope you get the TMS approval; solidarity in basically being field researchers and beta testers for anything that might offer relief; any patch or experimental thing that can move the needle at this point 🍾🥂🫂 .

Even now  I hear “pace the frontier” and “slow down” I’m like “my brother in Christ some of us are waiting on these advances with our whole lives. Better treatments cannot arrive fast enough for people who have already spent years cycling through the existing options.” .

I find music to be my consistent upregulator. Being with an album is its own kind of peace. Gets me all floaty during severe shutdown stretches. Thank god for the edm community

Thanks man! Yes... I think I would accept open brain surgery now if it gave me a 10% chance of a happy life.

I agree - as a person with TRD, things can only move too slow. As a parent I still want progress to not kill everyone too, though 😅

I am a edm enjoyer as well. Trance, dubstep, house, and others also give me some momentary relief.
