Drugs cured my depression.

Sadly it's the only way.

Kratom literally reset my brain and made me a social person.

I'm not so sure I'd recommend EQ for depression.

Healthy diet, exercise, and in-person social interactions are going to yield far greater results.

EQ probably just gonna suppress the symptoms...and only temporarily.

Hell, we all have our reasons for pissing away our life playing this game. Who am I to judge?

6 of one...

It's all in how you use it. Its really fun to take without too many consequences, if you take to much it'll just make you barf but you will be smiling while you do it.

Super addictive from my point of view, you are going to want to take it every day. I would advise limiting it to once a week or less. I have never gotten physically addicted but I hear it like stopping a good coffee habit cold turkey, so not as bad as hard drugs or cigarettes.

Back when I was depressed I remember spending an entire day immersing myself in the game. I didn't feel bad when I was immersed but I remember getting up from my chair after an entire day of EQ to walk over to my bed and being hit with just this wave of anguish, like EQ was holding the anchor up and when I stopped it just dropped. Binge-watching shows was a similar escape and I usually had to do it to sleep after a day of EQ. You can go on wallowing for years like this, consuming huge swathes of your life.

This is because EQ doesn't fix or even really modulate the most pernicious effects of depression, namely the suppression of motivation and enjoyment of activities. It's still going to be rotting away the rafters while you're absorbed in EQ. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed some stretches of that time. It was a very peaceful and at times enjoyable time of my life, but ultimately a dead end.

I hope that the good feelings you get from EQ can lead to a greater and more full recovery for you.

Of course! I don't liken EQ to a cure or effective treatment. It keeps me out of my own head, unlike when I'm in bed, and my mind takes over. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
