RJ Mitte (Walt Jr) has passed 😥

Wow, I was shocked to hear this. They are saying it was suicide. So sad. He was only 34 years old. RIP, Flynn ❤️

I agree life does still have things to offer me, I’m just a piece of shit that can’t get my shit together enough to participate meaningfully and functionally. Including disability that’s now threatening my career. I think they know… they’ve seen me struggle for years and they’ve been there for me but there’s nothing anybody can do

I’m a piece of shit. I can’t work and the only reason I’m not homeless is because my dad lets me live in his house. I’ve left the house six times since even before the pandemic. I’m the exact stereotype of the useless redditor—except I’m a woman and I wear pants.

Your career is threatened. Not gone. The one thing I wish I had done when I still had health insurance and depression/anxiety that refused to respond to medication was ask about electro shock therapy. If you haven’t explored that, I’m begging you to try for both of us.

I’ve done ECT. It absolutely destroyed my memory (almost lost my career to that then) and I can’t do more of it, plus it didn’t work for more than a few weeks

Have you tried Ketamine?

Shrooms can make a huge difference for people too (though you can't get that from a clinic).

I've also heard TMS can be effective as an alternative to ECT.

I really hope you consider options that include you being here with us.

I have PTSD too and other mental health issues so I understand how rough it can be. Please hang in there.
