I Noah Thomas, the creator of this channel, have been diagnosed hypogonadism by a medical doctor and legally prescribed the medically indicated treatment of Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
My Story
My name is Noah and on May 18 2011, I had a rare reaction to a medication called VIVITROL and consequently, spiraled into a suicidal depression with depersonalization and anxiety. I lost 25 lbs in 4 weeks and was in full panic or near panic for 8 weeks straight mixed with the darkest most painful depression I cold have ever imagined. I immediately could not work and had to move in with my parents who, along with many siblings and friends, had to watch me 24/7 as I was a danger to myself. Eventually I was hospitalized in the Psych Ward for a week. Getting through each day seemed truly unbearable and I knew I would surely die. I have been put on many many different doctor prescribed SSRI's SNRI's Tricyclics, mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, holistic meds, acupuncture and even a form of shock therapy called RTMS. I barely saw any improvement in my condition for a full year. It was decided I had treatment resistant depression and I spent nearly every moment in tears. Weeks after starting my newest round of medications (Seroquel & Nortryptaline) as a last ditch effort, I had my blood drawn for possible hormone imbalances and my Testosterone levels came back 200 ng/Dl and 150 ng/Dl. The average 25 year old male has 750 ng/Dl. With this discovery I had an explanation as to why I was not getting better and why I might be so so sick. The symptoms of Low T are very similar to those of major depression. I started legally prescribed testosterone replacement therapy soon after and have been checking in with the world and documenting my experience with treatment as well as giving my insight and perspective on various topics of mental health. I am blessed to say that I have slowly, over the last 6 years, been improving and becoming more stable which I never thought to be possible. My low T manifested itself in the form of Major depression, anxiety, and depersonalization/ derealization for over a year. Treating my low testosterone has been 1 HUGE part of the puzzle but I have had to continue to work hard to hold on to my mental stability with many set backs. Gaining some mental stability back is nothing short of a miracle as I was near death for what felt like forever. I do not consider myself to be totally healed yet but I am closer now then ever before and aim to use what I have been through to help or at least offer support to others in need I was able to successfully come off my Seroquel and Pamelor.
I work out all the time as a part of my mental health recovery!!! Weight training and all kinds of cardio rule much of my free time and I also share this on my channel.

Want everybody to know that I READ EVERY SINGLE COMMENT and appreciate your time more then you know. It would take hours to respond to each one individually so please believe me when I say your feedback, personal experiences, insights, and respect means the world to me. THANK YOU.
+bignoknow The way I feel about it man... addiction is like the feeling of needing to have water. You literally need water. So when your brain is addicted.. you struggle going one day without 'it' because you feel like you're dying of thirst.
We're sad that your sad. Not that you relapsed. When you relapse, we feel like we're 'in this together' because we did too.
Keep strong man because your subscribers(32,000 people) need you.
+Yeeros Extrameat How is he full of lies? First off he didn't do anything wrong. Worst case scenario he let himself down and was man enough to post a 20 plus min video about it which we all know most people would never fess up to something they did wrong let alone something he didn't do wrong but felt he let people down. The ONLY thing this did for me was make a TH-camr more a real human being to me.
+bignoknow Reframe it. I think calling it a "relapse" carries a bad connotation like you're going to go down the same path again. You're not.
If you want to be sober, then look at it like weightlifting. You miss a snatch, you miss a clean, you refocus get back on track.
If you want to include alcohol in your life, then do it. Just do it differently than before. Even binge eaters can go back to eating "normally" at some point. So, if you were an alcoholic in the past, what says you can't drink in moderation in the future? Nothing. Nothing is stopping you except for your preconceptions.
If nothing else, I think you should read Brain Over Binge and Rational Recovery. Read them even if just to explore the psychology and understand why we do certain behaviors.
Best of luck to you, brother!
+bignoknow I don't know if you have ever seen this, but it has helped me. The Victor Marx story. Don't pass immediate judgement within the first 5 or 10 minutes of seeing this. So many people do that very thing. But if you would just watch the whole thing, you might just be surprised.
We still got your back. We are all in this together, we understand. Love you bro.
I respect the fuck out of you, you're human its ok
+CLOUDZ543 :)

You are so honest, articulate and aware of yourself. It is a rare trait, I really admire you.
Hardest video I have had to record in a very very long time.
got faith in you bro
John dupuy's "Integral recovery", it's 12 steps on roids haha. But seriously, it's the best recovery system yet
the only reason your videos help us is because you are honest. telling people your fuck ups make our fuck ups seem fixable. you going back on the right track just proves to people that you can make a mistake and still move forward. I'd be disappointed if you lied to us
I was scary depressed before I saw your videos. and I had just found my test was 167. you helped me a ton and whatever happens you gave me the hope to keep pushing. back then I didn't leave a 5 min radius of my home and was always depressed. I'm am closer to "normal" than I thought was possible.

We understand. You are a man and you try so much to be the perfect example for us. Thank you for being honest and we're still here, of course.
We all fuck up. Big props to you for having the courage to be honest. You're only human man, don't beat yourself up too much.
Thank you For being Open and Honest, Respect .
16 years ago, I was the worst alcoholic that I'd personally ever seen. Violently shaking when I was having withdraws and was scared to not have a bottle close by and then my family stepped in and got me to a hospital and on August 8th, 2000, I took my last drink of alcohol and no, it hasn't been a struggle to not drink, no I don't go to meetings and no, you can't pay me to take one drink, that's how firm I am on total sobriety. Alcohol doesn't interest me in the least bit. I'm one of the few that I've ever seen so bad but when I quit, I quit and this year will mark my 16th year.
Awesome man, love your conviction and thanks for sharing.
bignoknow
Thanks man and I had wondered how would I handle the temptation after I finally quit and i was able to turn down every drink that anyone offered me if I was just hanging out with friends or neighbors, so I was glad I regained my old self cause it was a nightmare I never want to live again. It's like being released from prison and you never want to go back. Just don't start up that craving for it again and you will be fine.
Reading this today hopefully your still off it 👊👊
I'll be sticking around Noah. Your videos have helped me with some insight on certain aspects of my life.
Stay strong
Keep fighting, man. We all here for ya and each other. Your videos helped and inspired so many people, including me.
I appreciate your brutal honesty. i like how you don't suguar coat things. big respect to you for your rawness and honesty. I support you 100% and thankful for keeping it real.
we love you bro. you are only human
Thank you for your honesty! I have been listening for a few weeks now and it is refreshing to see that other ppl slip up too! Thank you!!
You are amazing. Thank you. Your honesty is so brave and your channel (just found this morning) truly saved me today.
Your rigorous honesty is the reason I subscribe to your channel. You've been incredibly helpful to me in my journey.
Thank you for sharing your truth. May I say I think you made the right call in sharing your truth with us, thank you. Honestly I felt a little scared for you with your decision to start drinking again but this is your journey and I respect the process. I stand with you through this journey and use your truth and transparency as a catalyst for my own healing and recovery process. I would say this is a safe place with your YT family, no judgment. I offer the grace for you to be human, stumble, struggle and if you fall to rise strong. We got your back my brother.
Got nothing but respect for you man, keep your head in the game and move forward, everyone falls down. We're blessed to have support to help bring us back up.
Watched you be vulnerable and honest last night. Never crossed my mind to think less of you. Don't let the situation overwhelm you. Shit happens and you move on.... (easy to say, harder to do....) Got your back bud.....keep moving ahead....!
I only just found your channel (trying to find some tips on DP, which I've had for about 10 years now on and off along with anxiety/depression) and your complete honesty is what made me subscribe. It is not only refreshing and appreciated, I think it is very much needed among people who are suffering from these problems, because it is so easy and common for anxiety and depression to come back and strike you just when you think it's over. Thank you for making these.
you actually just blew my mind, such honesty is incredible. much love.
Just found your channel. Just wanted to say that I admire your bravery for being so open about your struggles. It helps those of us who come across your channel to not feel so alone. I feel like you've already helped me just from the few videos I've watched. I'm glad you decided to come clean about this. Those of us who suffer with mental health issues know all too well that it is never a steady climb to wellness, but rather more like drifting alone out in the ocean trying to keep your head above water.
So glad you're back. Respect your honesty so much and you're so real like you said, not many people on TH-cam are. You are incredible and very strong. I still look up to you and I support you all the way as a viewer. ❤️
Solid video noah. mental health is an ongoing battle, fixing, working on, realizing etc. Better to work on things instead of sitting there unhappy, anxious etc, work on you, inform us, and ya, i guarantee a big number of us giving you the thumbs up, have never seen a doc about our mental issues, and still in the closet about it, sort to speak. Watching your videos helps us, brings us a step closer to seeking help. It's all a big deal and i like others, thank you. Stay strong.
No worries BigNoKnow, that's life. You have inspired me and many others to make huge gains and I F-up too. That was yesterday, today is today. Much love, thanks! We will always stick by you sir.
You're still an inspiration bro! What you've done physically is what motivates me...you do you brother!
Just started following you recently and I do not have a big bond with you or your videos yet. I watched your entire video and I think you did the right thing, keeping your channel honest is what makes this channel yours and your journey. Respect, man
I much prefer it when people are open and honest and share their struggles. It makes others feel not so alone as like you said it's so difficult to admit when having a relapse. I hope you get your meds sorted
your honesty is so pure. I admire your courage to be so honest. It was difficult to do, and that feeling came through to anyone who is perceptive. You deserve respect.
The honesty in this video is so refreshing, life is hard and setbacks are inevitable but showing the downs AND the ups is what gives it so much heart
People make mistakes bro!! You have a lot of us following you and supporting you!! I hope you realize that we are behind you,like you've been there for us!!
Man good luck with everything brother. You are a great person and I appreciate the transparency. I wish I was as open as you are with my own problems.
Nothing less than sincere here as usual. Much is appreciated with your video especially the part you mentioned day to day struggles as well as some times hour to hour. I know all to well what that's like. Nothing lost in this video integrity wise. Well said.. Thank you Brother!
I have missed you too. I can't tell you how much you have helped me.....more than meds, therapy, psychs....you name it! I really do care about you and you are simply amazing....bringing mental illness out of the closet! Thank you!
Your honesty is what drew me to your channel. Dont lose that. No one else has the courage to explain what they feel and its how I feel. Its nice not to feel alone or crazy.
Glad to see you back! Stay true to yourself! you are an amazing person! Be carefull and be safe
Enjoy life man!
Love to you big homie! Relapse is hard but it's just time to turn up the recovery! Your honesty is inspiring to me!
Thank you for your openness. It's okay to slip up, what matters is how you go forward.
Brother, keep your head up and always stay honest to yourself. I'm proud of you for making the decision to be honest with others, even us, total strangers. I can totally understand where you are coming from. Love ya bro!!! Keep moving forward!
Not going to unsubscribe, glad your honest,your human man, i appreciate you telling us how it is your strong and you inspire don't take it so hard. "It's is Life there is ups and downs stay positive.
I just recently discovered your channel n I wana tell u I think you are awsome . Your videos are helping me w my depression . You are fine as u r. It's ok that u drank again. Telling us is confession . Your confessions are not responsible 4 others actions. Dont stop you honest videos they r helping people. Including me.
I respect you highly on talking openly about what I'm going through!
My heart goes out to you. The truth will set you free. Even when it's not pretty or pleasant. I have suffered with anxiety for years. I know what it's like to crave something to ease those feelings and to give your racing mind a moments peace. Praying you and your doctors get you to a good place where you can enjoy life without the cloud looming near. I had anxiety over having anxiety. It is debilitating. But there is always hope. Just because the answer hasn't shown up yet doesn't mean it won't come. Praying for you and your family!
Thank you.... I look forward to watching more of your clips - I can see that I will gain a lot of insight from what you are sharing here. I don't even know how I found this... but I appreciate that I did. Inspiring stuff....
You are doing very well, keep on track.
Occasionally we fall, so what?, you have the right attitude and the right goals.
All the best.
Unconditional support here mate. Honesty is a big part of why I follow you - willingness to open up and share in the rollercoaster that is mental health recovery/improvement. My blood tests came back normal (and actually pretty good) so pretty sure I'm dealing with the anxiety/depression combo. I'm finally allowing myself to be fully honest about that. You needed time to introspect. Nothing to apologise for. Take as long as you need.
Keep fighting hermano. Thanks for sharing it's very rough patch in this journey we call life. You have helped me immensely in the TRT realm. I will continue to support your channel and look forward to you returning to making videos. You have been missed.
Good man Noah, working my way through your videos. Wishing you good health brother .
We respect you man. Don't let it bring you down. Push forward even stronger!
Respect brother, i respect you and for all of your honesty through it all.
I can't speak for everyone , but I myself truly appreciate your honesty. There are so many people who feel the need to hide things to put their best face forward , but in reality it's best to just put it all out there . The good, the bad, and the ugly !! It takes bravery and courage to be honest not only with yourself but with all of us !!! For myself I also struggle with my depression and anxiety daily, it's a day to day battle. My mind is waging a war against itself every day , there are good days and bad days . So it's nice to know I'm not alone in this fight . Keep your head up , and don't give up the fight !!! Still love you !!! ♡♡♡
You're an amazing person, Noah, and you're only human. Thank you for sharing with us.
hard to do but sometimes being open and honest is the best healing. I give you lots of credit for this.
Wow.. just started watching and listening to you ... YOU.. are amazing Mon Ami !
the honesty in your eyes is incredible... and you can really " SEE" the honesty in your face .
you must touch so many people... this video.. is maybe the MOST honest video i've ever seen on youtube. Mental Health can be Mental Hell. i've worked in mental health for almost 16 years.... let me tell you .. you are amazing. if you ever need some one to reach out to... feel free.
I respect you for your honesty and what you do. Taking time from your life when you are dealing with your issues in life. I speak for my self and maybe others you are an inspiration in my life and respect who you are. I am with you drew this wild journey. We need others like you and we will over come this together and god bless my brother just remember never give up on this journey you are on the right path. We all fall but the cure is never surrender. the gift is in you keep up the great work and always never fear honesty.
I haven't commented on any of your videos yet, but have viewed virtually all of them pertaining to mental health and addiction. I have used your videos as an inspiration and a benchmark during my own personal quest for sobriety. I have been alcohol free for months now, and I don't think that would have been possible had it not been for supportive mentors like yourself that I can really relate to - so thank you for that! let me preface this by saying, i think you are a really good guy. you are honest, personable, articulate and very interesting to listen to. i relate to you in so many different ways and maybe that's why this video disturbed me a bit. it isn't easy for me to watch you turn back to something that has clearly brought you so much turmoil in the past. you don't need a lecture from me as to the reasons why this is a bad idea, so I won't give you one. but i highly suspect that this video isn't noah talking. it's the addiction talking.
a turning point for me was when i approached my psychiatrist about getting a prescription for antabuse (disulfiram). i used to have an civil war break out in my brain on a daily basis. there were troops on the "i'm not going to drink today" side and troops on the "fuck it, i'm going to drink today" side going at it constantly and it was a bloody battle to say the least. almost always the "fuck it, i'm going to drink today" side won, but it was a grueling fight nonetheless and it wore me down. kinda seems like you are in a similar spot. it's a frustrating battle to fight every single day. but taking an antabuse pill every morning alleviates the pressure. the civil war doesn't happen anymore because the antabuse resolves any need for conflict. the conflict is resolved before the battle ever begins, and in my case it is the "good guys" winning. im not condoning taking antabuse. i am just sharing what worked for me since I see a lot of similarities between us. take it with a grain of salt.
regardless of what you choose to do, good luck. you are a beautiful and wonderful person and you deserve good things noah. you deserve to be happy and i hope you are able to find that place with a clear mind. be it with alcohol or without.
You're not my higher power, but you are still my inspiration. I will not relapse because of you, and I will still support you. It's so refreshing that you are completely honest and open. I'll still follow your journey because you helped me out of one of the darkest times without even knowing it. My mom sent me your seroquel video and I watched it through my entire 3 month withdrawal/taper and it helped me more than any doctor or friend could. You understand mental illness in a way most people don't, and to me, that's why you're such an inspiration. Proud of you for being honest and still here to support you!
Chin up noa I still have massive respect for you an always will have. I always turn to this channel for support when I'm down I ow you the world God bless an all the best your a legend keep posting!
Thanks for sharing,longest I've gone is 6-8 weeks.You dont trigger me,I trigger myself.Getting sober didnt solve my big problems.Some went away,but most didnt.I have mental illness.When my Granny passed,well first got sick 3yrs ago,I just got the fuck-its,and they havnt left.It wasnt a peaceful passing either,and we home hospiced her.It was sad.I watched her go.
Glad your back.
I believe it's a rare virtue to be honest to be open and be your self. I honestly respect you even more and to talk so calmly and be able to explain and analyze every detail it shows that you are so unique and you are not the kind of person who tries to get followers but your channel is for helping people and just simple living life!!!!!
You have made my sobriety stronger.! Thanks for all your videos. Lcve and hope to you.
Takes a lot of pressure off when we remember we are not God and we should not have other people build their lives on us - wise words my friend. I think you are on the right track with the open and honest communication with those who you are accountable to, if it does turn out to be a slippery slope those are the people who can catch you before you slide too far.
Blessings
+Garrett Blevins Blessings. Thanks Garrett .
I love you & Jesse both! I love for your honor, your honesty & transparency! Noah, you are an awesome guy & you have a great wife! Good luck friend & keep us posted. You have all my love & support!
Idk who you lost, but you definitely gained a fan. This video was amazing. I appreciate your honesty. You connect with more people than you realize. I literally went to TH-cam & searched "feeling suicidal" and your videos popped up. I never thought anyone could understand how I'm feeling & the struggle of everyday life & I see your video. Thank you for being so open.
I am continuously amazed by how open and vulnerable you are willing to be with us. I hope you find the right medication to help with your mental health. I am also on the search again for the right medication lately. Seems like it's really difficult to achieve that perfect chemical balance in the brain that let's me function the way the rest of society deems "normal".
Noah, much props to you brother. You are brutally honest not only with yourself bit for you to open your self up to the entire wild like this, and subject yourself to all sorts of criticism, however, look at all the positive responses your receiving. Clearly we all respect you! And many, many draw inspection from you. Your doing a greater good beyond yourself. Keep your eyes on the target, so what if you slip up once in a while..:how long do you stay clean in between.?! Thank you for being you!
Noknow, its too rare when you get this type of honesty anywhere. You being so transparent will help those that God is trying to reach. I believe you are His instrument and you are doing great in my opinion. At least your trying! So people, sober or not, can never be honest with anyone. My brother died June 8th 2015. My life hasnt been the same since. My depression, anxiety and alcoholism hit a new extreme. I was at the gate of death and insanity. But thats not always enough. i get 90 then i miss my bro and im done. I drink and spend my time at the cemetary. So I understand. We all have our stories. Be kind to yourself and know theres nothing you can do, nothing you can get or nothing you can achieve that will make God love you any more than he already does. God bless you brother for your honesty. Peace to you.
Haven't even finished the vid, but mad respect and support
you are human. you are strong. I don't know you personally but I have been watching your videos in hopes that I can use some of your wisdom to help my son who lives with depression, intrusive thoughts, crippling anxiety... and hes only 17. You are an inspiration and more real because you made a mistake, admitted it and are dealing with it. Hang in there. my perspective of you will not change. Stay strong. You have my support.
Man you are like me. Up and down. Stay strong sir! :)
Just take it one day at a time. Accountability owning up to your mistakes. Stay strong and do your best to stay sober. Thank you for the honesty. Keep up the good work man.
welcome back.. As I learned from recovery, I have to be honest everywhere... head up Brother keep moving forward
Man I can related to this video so much.I had large expectations when it came to sobriety and anxiety levels but I'll just say it's a day to day sea saw and some days are not quite what I was thinking but some days are.6months sober and still a nervous wreck lol.Thanks for the videos brother you really are touching people out here...helped me come along way
I just found your channel. I'm also working on my alcohol problem. have had stretches of sobriety in the past, I also deal with depression. Your honesty is amazing. Brutal honesty is always the best in my opinion. I say don't discount the months of sobriety you have had just because of a bad episode. I believe that sobriety is NON LENIENIER as opposed to how many straight days have you been sober. You seem to be a great guy - keep moving forward.
The thing I'm learning on my journey (4 weeks sober) is this. Alcohol is just means to an end, but the end is unreachable. It has an incredibly varied relationship with whom ever consumes it. To some a glass of wine can really chill them out, but for others 1 drink is never enough. I grew up in pub/tavern environments and now 20 years later I've seen what trying to reach that end has brought. Thousands of £s flushed down the toilet, health issues in a lot of these people associated with alcohol, divorces, depression and they're still drinking like they did back then, but have a huge amount of extra physical and emotional weight to carry. Alcohol is a poison - your body prioritises and goes about expelling it as soon as it enters the body. Some people however find balance in the numbing alcohol can provide, but it physically cannot solve anything. I honestly respect your honesty and I'm nowhere near out of the woods myself, but this is how I see alcohol with the fog of drunkenness removed. It's a bandage that moves the wound bigger. Best of luck in whatever you do in the future and I'll remain a subscriber. Nothing what I said here is a knock to you or anyone. I've heard that voice trying to rationalise my problems and now that it's silenced I feel like I had to share my thoughts - nothing more.
I'm new to your channel (about a week), but I've watched a lot of your vlogs. I'm a fifty-one year old woman and I dealt with addiction for 21 years and I've been sober for three years. I never comment on youtube but wanted to let you know that I totally support and respect you for sharing with us about your relapse. I wish the best for you.
btw, we all love you. your video have been a life saver. please keep doing what you do. no matter what, this viewer is in your side. ☺
you did the right thing by being honest, respect.
*hug* ... I've been there and I'm not here to judge. you're amazing and you're entitled to have moments of weakness. stumbling isn't failing unless you don't get up and keep walking forward.
Great video brother. You can relate to all of us. Tremendously inspirational. Your videos don't make me feel alone. We're all battling together man. God bless.
+Brack Cool God bless.
First... let me say that I have watched a couple of your videos...and loved them...You are only human and if people can't deal with that...just like their drinking..that's on them! You have an amazing message. Your wife is right! I identify SO much with what your experiences have been. My opinion on the Klonapin...I have been on it...I suffer from anxiety and depression as well...it turned into another type of needing something unnatural to suppress what I am feeling. I have been suffering from having those issue since I was 10 (that is my earliest memory). I have been through therapy for years, I have even had a doctor tell me that I needed shock therapy. I decided at that point that I was done with therapists. I like you... have tried EVERY natural way to deal with this. I don't know how we get thru this, but, I am thankful for the videos you make, and support you 100%!
It is very brave of you to be honest. I am very appreciated that. :)
Your honesty makes me a more dedicated subscriber and stronger supporter of you. You have my respect.
Respect man! I wish the best of life.
Know older video, but compelled to comment, in case useful to anyone.
I have Ptsd/ Bipolar I. Lamictal has been essential to maintaining mental health.
It isnt Julie Andrews twirling on a mountaintop-happy. More of a quiet calm, provides some peace. This may not seem much of a trade-up, but when most of life has been trying to function despite "storms" in my head, i appreciate the respite.
Appreciate this video. Have also expected when finally found right med, would solve problems. Quite a let down to find meds are more of a tool. i still have to be actively involved in maintaining health, backslides are probable. But this time when ill rather than burning down the whole damn town, can confine the damage to a bonfire
Thank you for the video, and your courage. Appreciate your openness. Thank you for sharing setbacks and how dealing w them. with mental illness addiction believe setbacks inevitable; grateful for positive example how to deal w it
You are a human being. You are helpful and kind and I thank you.
I'm off to see the doctor tonight but every time I go I get nothing no help I'd like to email you and tell you how I feel I'm struggling with alcohol badly I want to stop badly but get no support keep going my friend your an inspiration
Hey Noah. It's been a while since I've watched your videos because I've been on my own mental health pilgrimage. Life is a lot better now, and I have to thank you for being there for me to watch during my darker days.
You may still have bumps along the way, but you are slowly turning the tide of your life. Taking two steps back does not matter as much, as long as you know it is possible to move forward again. Each time we are pushed back, we learn and move forward more quickly.
You can do it, buddy. I believe that you will find balance once again.
We all support you darling. People do things they regret everyday, but you just have to keep fighting. You're amazing.
Im going through the same thing brother.. Im slowly trying to quit drinking after years of abuse and its the hardest thing Ive ever done. Lost my my family and beautiful wife due to my actions while I was hammered everyday on whiskey! I love your videos and watching them give me inspiration!! Keep up the fight!
My friend! Once again, thank you for your honesty. That must have been hard to share! We've got your back on this and whatever lies ahead. It's a daily struggle and we're constantly changing so we will all look to find what works for us. You are not obligated to live your life to save us. We are all in this together! Sharing our experiences, whether good or bad can only bring more information and tools to help in this fight. Thank you for your honesty. Good to have you back brother✌️. I have had experience with Lamictal and for me, it was not good at all. It was the scariest thing I've ever been through! It trapped me in lucid dreams(nightmares) that I couldn't get out of and was truly driving me to insanity! The things I seen I'm these nightmares, I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy! Check out stories online. A lot of people have exp similar things. It can work wonders for others. Just feel I have to warn you. Positive vibes being sent your way dude ✌️Namaste 🙏
You are so strong and honest and beautiful.
Person that we admire. And we share similar experiance with you about depression.
It's okay bro , I have 6 years plus now but before that I had relapsed several times. It's about doing what is best for you. I wish you the best. I really like your channel. Thanks

Your honesty and transparency is apparent. Those who are struggling aren't influenced negatively by their role models being honest and sincere about their struggles. It's when they truly believe that superior figure is that much better, stronger, or more resilient than them that it hurts the most. We're all human. I'm sorry you've been struggling, and I know it will get better for you. Bless you.
I know exactly how this feels. I, myself have tried to lie about thinking that I wanted to get sober, It has been over 10 years and I don't know if I will ever get sober. But I am glad that I found your channel, it's good to feel like I'm not alone.
