Not being able to function in society, at work, education, or otherwise is, IMO, too much. You can't drink too much MGTOW potion in one sitting. You wouldn't take 200 tabs of acid at once would you? Maybe you need a break for a few weeks.

Also, no one knows you're "awake" until you blurt out something, so keep it to yourself until you feel more comfortable about it.

I'm to a psychiatrist, some YMMV, but going on pills for starting to understand a different philosophy doesn't seem like something to take damaging brain changing medications.

You don't have a chemical imbalance, you have a philosophical awakening problem. You can't pill or therapy your way out of it, because you don't have a brain chemical problem, you have an idea problem. An unfixable one.

You shouldn't be hopeless. Hopeless about what? Not believing in a lie? Not believing girls are these good little unicorns that care about you?

If anything this opens your whole world to do. You can literally do anything you want. Travel the world. Work a dead end easy job. You don't have to buy expensive houses you don't want. You don't have to spend all your money on a wife and kids. You can get a dog if you want without asking permission of your wife, or a motorcycle, or chuck it all and go travel around Mexico tasting tequilas. The only permission you have to ask is of yourself.

You make your own goals and hopes and no one on Earth is some "authority", like a bitchy wife, stealing and stopping your dreams.

Get a world record for eating the most crickets. Your options are too numerous to list.

It's a positive, life affirming thing, not a hopeless depression. That's like thinking that you still have to get married, compete with other men for rare jobs and houses near good school zones surrounded by compete assholes.
