Goodness gracious this thread has grown! Have we discussed antidepressant medications yet? At some point, zoloft was mentioned. I'm curious if anybody is on meds and how that is helping or not helping.

I've been on Concerta for about 6 years now. It's for ADD, but I think it's used for depression as well sometimes. I know it gives me the motivation to get up and do the thing (whatever the thing is, at that moment). During this time, I think I'd be much more likely to just give up without it.Goodness gracious this thread has grown! Have we discussed antidepressant medications yet?

So basically a dopamine enhancer. Does it have side effects? For example, erectile dysfunction or sudden death. (facelick)I've been on Concerta for about 6 years now.

Sometimes just doing one thing (a chore, learn a song, a work task, go on a bike ride or a run, call/text a friend) can help to trigger a series of positive events, and it really helps with that.
I haven't been riding this week due to air. I tried to swim piers and it wrecked my sinusesI went for a bike ride today and it really hit home how doing sports that make me mindful of physical balance puts me in a more balanced state of mind.
"Duh", right? And maybe "whatever" for folks who are mentally all buttoned up. But for people like me who get psychological speed wobbles, surfing every day for a decade was a life saver.
And in these challenging times, I find myself missing it more than ever.
Can't wait for ski season. Its not surfing, but its in the ballpark.
And covid can suck my dong.
"Addictive personality" is so negative. I prefer "tendency to be highly focused". It makes me feel better about myself.Autoprax-diagnosed addictive personality
I took zoloft a few years back, it made me feel good, too good. It was like someone flipped a light switch to ON all the time, manic. Im a little more even keeled now but my friends said I was more fun then. Oh wellGoodness gracious this thread has grown! Have we discussed antidepressant medications yet?

Building a surfboard give me great satisfaction when things go as planned, but causes me extreme stresss, even anger, when they don't. Things rarely go as planned when I build a surfboard. Overcoming hurdles the end result usually balances things out..... Sometimes half way through I just chuck it in the bin
