It's not based in anything except the fact that I enjoy opiates and they make me not want to kill myself all the time lol. It's working so far. Three days (friday, saturday, and sunday) are spent leaning, or taking opiates; and the rest of the week I feel fine. I'm not advocating this therapy for anyone else though as opiates can be very addictive. Although sticking with this Chinese proverb about opiates I heard years ago (no more than three days of continual usage etc) has paid off for me. Depression sucks...a lot. If I wasn't so busy with my school work I'd probably have time to be more depressed
meaning...stay busy
That is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. Opiates are downers even though you can feel very good on them; when you kick the drug you feel ten, no a hundred times worse. Someone who is suffering from clinical depression would probably go into suicide mode on a opiate comedown. It is one of the worst of all drug comedowns. What you are suggesting is like saying drinking helps a lot.
I find it hard to believe you are really depressed. If you really are taking opiates, it is probably because you like them, as you said.
