Please try and be less rude I already said it isn’t like normal depression, you ignored this… Unfortunately in the dysthymia community we have to deal with a lot of people that are ignorant to the disorder, you sound like you haven’t even heard the word dysthymia before today. Most people, even many doctors, are not properly aware of it. You should research it

Have you ever tried something more extreme to cope, like Ayahuasca? I went from being a majorly depressed person and suicidal to being a lightly depressed, non suicidal person and I think Ayahuasca contributed to that.

  I tried LSD and it made me severely suicidal. I had to take up a religion to not kill myself. On the dysthymia front, I’ve had it constantly since age 9 and am now 27. It’s not something I expect to change. Most people who have dysthymia learn coping mechanisms rather than trying to actually cure it. Major Depression on the other hand (which in my case would be a double depression) is more severe and more treatable Dysthymia is already “lightly depressed”. LSD made me majorly feel unfit for this reality. And yes the set and setting were great both times, I’m just very unlucky

    Ya, I would definitely have guessed LSD would be a terrible idea. Ayahuasca is an entirely different kind of thing.

      It still sounds like a very scary experience
