realize that your problems are nothing that can't be overcome.
eh not for a year and a bit nowthey kinda just faded away after I'd been on ADMs for a while and been to see a shrinkWhen they were still pressing in my head though, I just played battlefield to take my mind off it. All I can really recommend is seeing a professional about it, if they are persisting for a month or so then speak to your doctor and see what they suggest. Which would likely boil down to either a referral to a counsellor/psych or ADMs, if you can I'd go with the first of those two options, it's better in the long run.

And therapists are overrated IMO, only so much stuff can be helped by talking about it.

And therapists are overrated IMO, only so much stuff can be helped by talking about it.Correct, if it's not clinical depression then it would be using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut.As for therapists, it really depends on the type of therapist in question.The sort where you lie on a couch and blather about your early years and how your daddy never hugged you -> for rich idiots who have to buy a friend. SpoilerExcessively cynical, maybe, but when I read about these psychodynamic motherfuckers who have a patient once a week for 4 years (200 x $50 = :DDD) with no improvement I get platinum mad.However that isn't every kind of therapist, just unfortunately the most well known kind. The one that I'd generally recommend above most others is a Cognitive-behavioural therapist, because they work to a pretty tight focus of teaching you how to deal with the shit life throws.That being said, if you feel it's more of a rough patch and you just need to find a way to get through it then yeah it might not be worth your time and money to go and see a shrink right off the bat.If the thoughts get more frequent and severe though, or they don't go away after a couple of weeks then that would point more towards depression than a rough patch. If that becomes the case, I would strongly suggest you do at least speak to a GP about it.

If you're not willing to do that, then the thoughts will probably keep coming back.
