What up tube and welcome to my next vlog on how I beat depression. I'm very happy to say this is a special blog for numerous reasons and what better way to start off with my 200th video and May is official mental health awareness month. I'm feeling great man I got my cymbalta and it was a missing piece and man I've been on it for five six days now and may I feel freaking fantastic you know I should have never got off of it especially cold turkey I had a bad experience to the psychiatrist I hate psychiatrists I've never had a good experience would wait but anyways so I've got the three medications now that I was on before I feel fantastic and it's not just in your brain like you wake up my stomach's not turning knots I'm not irritable my tone you can tell a lot better you know I've even done some things that have ticked me off you know in the past like driving down here social media just things people and it's just so refreshing to feel great again man and I feel awesome really happy knees feel better my back feels better because of it you know taking off that weight but you know on top of that I feel better face looks thinner and so you look good you feel better your mental health is better you feel better so everything's starting to finally come around I started playing music again. I'm really I'm in a good spot I'm happy living down here now just really living life now as opposed to of waiting to die. I'm glad I hope this helped people and I hope this series really help people understand that drugs aren't bad for you if they're if they're prescribed for what you need I'm not telling you know that you need to go out and be on Xanax or whatever you got to find the right ones for you guys on Xanax hated it didn't work. Then I was on Effexor and I can't tell you what that did but it was scary but she don't want you to find the right combination that's right for you I guess lesson learned don't get off of it and if you do want to don't do a cold turkey and make sure you have a backup plan and try to get back on it. I found out that I had Tourette's it was like this relief off of me and don't be afraid if you got depression if you got anxiety especially anxiety man anxiety is horrible if you're a warrior and you get you know the worst thing so I can say to you I need to talk to you later and you're like freaking out you know you got to talk to me now that's anxiety so make sure that you know and try to see what I can do by living in a new space losing weight and getting on my medical marijuana not at work so glad I found the combination I'm glad I'm doing good and most of all I'm glad that I've shared this experience with you guys and I hope I hope at least I helped one person and if if you have the courage if you didn't have the courage maybe now you have the courage the other doctor and just say hey this is what I went to psychiatrist and she's one that says I can get a threat so I thought yeah I do and then that's when you went to the neurologist and then neurologists are great I love neurologist medicines for you and they talk to you in the intently listen to you they sit there and they absorbing it right down psychiatrist want to talk over the top of you and then that just irritates you so you know do what you got to do to get get yourself right and hopefully hopefully this has helped you realize that you know first of all what mental health awareness is what mental health does to you and what prescription can do for you if you're anti against it look for another way you know I tried another way it didn't work so yeah I really just am thankful for everybody in my life that is supported me and I'm thankful for the people that I don't even know that have been across literally the world that have said hey like your videos and thank you for doing what you're doing I think you're putting yourself out there for all of us who can't you know and if I said if I just touch someone at least that's what I want to do you know it was just like the DJ booth back to Alexandria for all you who was on Facebook all ever wanted to do is help the community and positive manner so I feel like I'm doing it here and with that I'm not going to drag it on anymore I just want to say thank you for watching and have a happy person and I feel great and I have felt this good in a long time and since probably since I first moved down here that first month and then I decided to get off my medicine cuz I thought you know doesn't cure everything so that being said I'm going to sign off here and start my new chapter in my life and continue playing music and and just waking up happy and just smile on my face and start living stop just stop just laying around. Like old red said in Shawshank redemption "get busy living or get busy dying" I'm going to get busy living thanks for watching! #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #depression #mentalhealth #presctiption #drugs #cymbalta #klonopin #xanax #prozac #psychiatrist #howto #mentalillness #help
