Discussion Peaking in life

[Abernathy]

What time in life did you realize you hit the peak and went on a downward spiral?

Mine was when I fully comprehended that there was nothing to look forward to anymore.
No family to talk to in a normal conversation that doesnt devolve into them asking when am I going to start making money.
Waking up everyday just to dread every moment of my waking existence knowing that i will never be a productive individual and instead waste away in a room alone.

At that moment I hit the peak of my life and everything just went down.

I hit the peak in 2015 but didn't realize i was on a downward slope when i chose to come back home instead of staying and working in the UK, which would've likely saved me in every regard.

I haven't reached it. It's the misery of knowing that I never will which is lamentable.

When I started on SSRI's as a 20 year old which ruined my ability to feel love and have sex. If there ever was a crime it's ssri's being called happy pills and antidepressants.

Honestly like actual psysical lobotomies I think that in 30-50 years from now everyone is going to question how giving SSRI's to everyone and everything was a good idea while the actual answer is that big pharma makes hundreds of billions of dollars in profit that is why.

I would say for me as a woman, I probably started on the downward spiral much sooner though I didn't realize how badly I was screwing myself. I still had hope till about age 29 and then I began to feel hopeless about the future. I had a screwed up view of the world for a long time and did not begin to understand this system we live under till I had consistent access to the internet lol! Then I woke up to how badly I've been brainwashed, plus neglected abusive upbringing. I was a train wreck by age 30, plus I got put on adderall at age 25. That drug caused a lot of problems but I was in denial and addicted.
