Hey Cred Forumsrothers, how do you cope with depression? I just can't figgure out how to deal with my own depression anymore, there is no meds to work on it, I've gotten tired of masturbating, I don't want to talk to people because I fear them, I cant improve my own look on myself because I just know Im fat and out of shape. Anyone have methods of coping?

The le depression meme strikes again haha. Seriously stop self diagnosing faggot and get to a doctor dumbass.
Ketamine.
I ignore it.
Drop acid with friends/girlfriend/boyfriend/horse discover what you find beautiful and follow that till your depression inevitably ruins it
Also just generally be a healthier person like legit will help like slept right, eat right, exercise properly
Or give up and kill your self honestly the world doesn't care
I'm living in my car and I'm finally OK with it
alcohol, drugs, bit more alcohol, no sleep, drugs to keep u awake, more alcohol. bit of self inflicted violence and hating the world in bewtween, then more drugs to make you feel better.
None of this sounds like it would work
Alcohol is for females. You need to be drinking some hard liquor, OP. Preferably whiskey, but psychedelics seem to do a better job than liquor.
Lots of video games, they will distract you from present qualms and maybe even help vent frustration of any kind.
i was recommended online therapy once but it sounded too crazy for me, see if you can find an option like that through your doctor. or just... start talking and get confident.
as for coping, one day at a time, looking to the simpler things in life for happiness, like staying fresh and spending time outside or with friends. and forgiving yourself if it isn't easy, which it rarely is.
its not something i would advise, eventually you'll hit the wall then gonna have to deal with shit, its jus more of a short term strategy. like few months at a time. honest advice would take too long to write.
This too.
I go to work, come home and smoke some bud or drop acid and just get lost in the games. Dark Souls seems to be taking away my depression to a degree, it always comes back though.
you do know liquor is alcohol ?
Deal with it.
Depression doesn't have to be permanent. Had it when I was younger. It's just cancer now and besides that I'm actually quite content.
Go see a doctor or kys.
Of course, but not all alcoholic drinks are liquor.
well I wudnt exactly advise someone to drown their sorrows in beer, be as well bangin their head off the wall for all the good it wud do, more of a vodka or brandy fella myself, but hey all medicines are drugs but not all drugs are medicines.
One word. Xanax
You're welcome
This
what helped me was dopamina agonist
This. When people think "mental problem" why don't they immediately think "shrink?" If you broke any other part of your body you'd immediately think "doctor." Why is the brain the one exception for this?
clonazepan
Good point there, user. Nice dubs btw
> I'm not bad looking
> good job
> good education
> Just ended 9 year relationship with fiancée.
I don't know how to cope.
Exercise bro. Not even kidding. Shit releases feel good drugs in your brain. Start walking/jogging/running a few times a week
Cheers user, can only advise from my own fucked up experience. The bad times come weather we want them to or not, personally I prefer to ride that storm off my fking nut, then settle back into the calmer waters, no point fighting it. It's there for life. As I said tho I wudnt really advise anyone to follow my course. Works for me though. Just gotta find what works for ye.
Idk dude, the doctor says iv got manic depression, idk how to cope either. And its getting worse because i think im experiencing ego death at this point in my life. Im 22 and scared, scared to try and grow up. But i think i take comfort in knowing that its not too late to try dude.
work out man, use an elliptical. it literally saved my life
/thread
This, very much.
You could try smile therapy too. Put a pencil in between your teeth, length-wise.
It's almost like the brain itself is stupid enough to not really tell the difference between
genuine and fake smiles to release dopamine.
Even though it may sound retarded, try to force yourself to smile every day.
literally?
For what it's worth user I'm 27, 2 of my 4 brothers have Hanged themselves so you can imagine how my parents are, 3 cousins and 11 friends have done the same, I'd love to get it over an done with but my families been thru enough so I can't, in a way I resent them for that but ya know what 2Mars a new day, cud kill myself now but I'd never get to know what might have been, we get the chance to wake up everyday but we only get the chance for that long sleep once. I say just stick it out an see how things go, never know 2Mar might change ur life, it's better to risk 24 hours of what may be than deciding on 2mins of changing it permanently.
Work is life's greatest therapy. Immerse yourself in that shit. Deciding to drive OTR every day for months at a time helps me greatly. Something about this job heals me. You're not alone.
literally.
Just remember. Killing yourself is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Embrace it. That's all. Oh and don't try to kill yourself. You will regret it the moment you do.
I think you mean figuratively.
I feel it dude, my problem is that i feel too much. And the lonliness really gets to me. But whatever part of my brain thats still actively trying to keep me alive is telling me that everything will be ok. Im a decent looking dude, death or suicide seems like a pretty selfish thing for me to do right now mainly because alot of people depend on me. Life dude, its such a crazy thing. I hope you are doing well my dude, that sounds like a hefty amount weight on your shoulders
I just work stupid amounts of hours at work. The work keeps my mind occupied and the long hours get me exhausted to the point when im home alone all I got to do is slam a few brews down and im out for the night. Just finished 14hours and im on my third beer.
Cheers OP and good luck
fuck out of here with those empty platitudes
The past, present, & future are connected by inevitability. So depression might be the echo of your future self remembering regretful moments & opportunities you let pass by now. If you make a mental pact with yourself now to live life to the fullest, the future memories of the good times you have ahead will echo back better vibes as the future you reminisces how kick ass your life has been since you made that pact with yourself.
>The past, present, & future are connected by inevitability.
If this is true then fate exists and free will does not. Therefore you have no choice over your actions.
Just gotta keep on keeping on bud, life's shit, it's also amazing sometimes, gotta accept that. Good days come an the bad days go, just gotta stay the course lad. We're here for a good time not a long time so appreciate the little things, an no matter what always remember no matter how bad u feel or how lonely u are there will always be people out there who care about you and who will hurt til the day the die if they lose u. Like the user above said suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Trust me if iv made it this far u can, an believe it or not this is one the best months iv had in years, I'm actually looking forward to next week. That's not something I'm used to so things do change, ull appreciate the good times more when u know uv stood up an said fuck the world I'm gonna see yas all 2Mar user. Take my word for it.
I'm pretty sure my "gf" might be cheating on me right now because I pissed her off before she went to buy weed off a black guy. I pissed her off by saying that she can't have guy friends. She might be hanging out with one of her girlfriends or paranoia says she is banging that guy for weed. Her friend went offline at about the same time and she said she was messaging her when I was on the phone with her. She said she would be back in 20 mins but I somewhat broke up with her over the phone and it's been about 2 hours.
I might kill myself tonight. Not sure yet.
Embrace the pain and anger you feel and express it in shit-tier memes on Cred Forums.
Or kill yourself.
It's a decision I face daily.
But quantum particles don't decide which slit to go through until we observe. Until then, it goes through both slits as multiple possibilies. If we observe late enough, the quantum particle will go back & choose one slit after the fact to make the past match the result.
Dude don't ever tell ur gf she can't have guy friends. Number 1 it makes u look controlling number 2 makes u look insecure an number 3 telling any girl what to do is jus gonna make her do it so she can tell herself fuck u u don't own me. Jus a bit of advice.
Have some feels.
I am controlling & insecure. I just want her to come back, I'm so fuckin sad, worried, regretful.. I broke up with her twice in 2 weeks and she broke up with me once the other day and I begged for her to come back to me. She did in full force and told me she would give me endless chances to fuck up because she loved me. I could copy/paste a message that explains it better than I can now. Surprisingly, I'm 23 & this isn't a middle school relationship. She is 19 & immature. Maybe I am too but she has emotionally controlled me. It is pure agony. Make her come back & talk to me.
Op I watched a documentary about jumpers from the Golden Gate Bridge & really stuck with me that the jumpers that managed to somehow survive the fall remembered instantly regretting it as soon as they leapt off. Ive always wondered how many jumpers that didnt survive regretted it all the way down & in those long moments before they hit the water were wishing they could just be back on that bridge with their problems.

only evil can wake you up from the shitty life you live in
Bud if she comes back of her own free will, cos she misses u, then ur sorted. If she only comes back because she thinks she has to then that's never gonna last, trust me iv been there. I know what it's like to be so crazy about someone u wanna spend every min with them an when ur apart u wanna know exactly where they are an what they're doing. That's how I fuckin ruined the best thing that ever happened to me. If she misses u the way u miss her uv no need to check up on her but If it's all one sided ull scare her away bud. If she's worth it give her her space, she'll miss u.
I never deserved it. Only venting to distract myself, & fully expecting replies to vent my frustration towards but you're a total bro. You're right. Thank you.
figuratively.
Electroshock. Tricylcic antidepressants can have a better affect against desperation based symptoms than SSRI's do for those who are only semi-responsive to SSRI treatment, but the side effects are considered more detrimental. Electroshock, than medicinal weed, then a 12 gauge lobotomy.
>those are my options, at least
All good buddy, loves a dangerous thing. Just remember to treat it like it's fragile cos once it's broke there's no way of putting it back together the way it was, no matter how hard u try to glue them pieces together. Hope things work out for u, like I says space time and giving each other a chance to see what they cud lose, that's what keeps relationships together, in my experience anyway. Ima get fucked up on mdma now an watch a scary movie so I'll let u be haha, hope it works out for u Bro, iv faith in ye.
>I cant improve my own look on myself because I just know Im fat and out of shape.
then get in shape you fat loser
stop being such a baby
Dude I'm so sorry, I've had a one-track mind & I'd forgotten to ask about you. You've helped me, I want to try to help you. Idk if you want to talk about it but I'm here for ya if you do. It sounds to me like she is missing out on a smart dude. Was it long ago? I'd be willing to bet she would come back. You seem level-headed.
Just get the fuck away from your computer at least for 1 hour and do a little bit of excersize, you don't need to be a fucking hunk to get to live, posting about depression doesn't fucking help and if you don't do fucking doshit about it you might aswell kill yourself right now.
>Killing yourself is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
This is the biggest giveaway that a person has never experienced true depression. Life itself is the fucking problem. I was about to call you a faggot or something but fuck it, it's just as well that you don't understand. I envy you.
Story?
you are a fool to believe there is still hope for your relationship

I'm actually suffering from anxiety right now... The psychiatrist said it is related to depression, and it feels like shit... I've tried 3 medications, but they make feel a worse kind of anxiety. So now I'm sober, and having these attacks out of no where. I feel like it might be porn related, becase it all came when I tried to cut porn out... Anyone can relate?
Yo lets go faggot.
>1. sleep, 8-10 hours at night, same time everynight, early.
>2. exercise, 30 mins a day of heart pounding shit. Join a sports team, soccer or ultimate Frisbee is great. also lift.
>3. eat more fruits and vegs.
>4.fap less, don't look at porn.
>5. find something productive for you to occupy your time.
>6. find a support group who can assist you, familly, friends. Find them, talk.
Now the big stuff.
>go see a shrink
>i take buspar, sgit works pretty well
If all else fails try Ketamine.
God speed user, you aren't the only one, but i promise you this: if you believe, you are going to make it.
nah, thats only where you go if you want to be a euophoric faggot who can't ever get a gf because you believe that girls secretly want you to rape them, and that if a girl rejects your creepiness, its because you weren't aggressive and autistic enough. Also, fuck off reddit faggot!
If you think the brain is the only exception or that people go to their PCPs first thing, you need to learn more about medicine.
lol if you really believe that's all there is in that sub you're dumb
Boy
I used to believe that self diagnosing was retarded. I still do, to some degree, but my opinions on it have mellowed. Namely, the chief reason for this is that I have been recently court mandated to see a psychologist and a psychiatrist. In spite of me telling them that I feel perfectly happy (and have felt so in the past as well), have plenty of motivation, hang out with friends, get enough sleep, and have normal eating habits, they diagnosed me as having major depressive disorder. I try to argue with them, but all I get in return is "oh, well, don't worry about it user, were experts." Personally, my 2 cents are self diagnosis of HAVING a mental disorder is retarded. However, self diagnosing yourself as NOT HAVING a mental disorder (assuming its one where the diagnostic criteria are based on how you personally feel) is valid.
then by all means, what else is in there?
>ded
>feels ragret
explain this metaphysical miracle
also, mind set really helps.
>focus on what you can do
>try and be in the moment
>getting you're life in order will make everything so much better.
>clean your place, and yourself up
>don't procrastinate
All good dude, some things ya just gotta move on from, she was always too good for me, some big shit graphic designer last I heard. Maybe in another life time, I'm a single dad with an amazing wee daughter now so wouldn't change it for the world. Ur only a few years younger than me so do me a favour an learn from my fuck ups. I'v 2 days free here so gonna enjoy them. Fix things with ur Mrs buddy. We only regret the things we shud have done. Been good tlk, cheered me up anyway if nothing else. It'll work out, ull see.
get a dog. dogs are way stronger than prozac. start meditating. do yoga. believe in a higher power that loves you whether you feel it or not.
>anons tell OP to see a shrink
>shrink prescribes chemical bullshit, instead of actually doing their job
>makes depression worse
>fast forward 20 years
>OP is completely empty
>contemplating suicide daily
>depression is so strong, OP can't even find the motivation or energy to kill themselves
Great plan, guys.
go find out
I messaged her friend (who hates me) and asked her if she knew where she was. She said. Treat her better. I said. I will. & then I got a response from her through her friends fbook. Stating that I had a funny way of showing it. She didn't say it was her but I knew. 5 mins later. Response from gf. I apologized, explained myself. I love you. I love you too.
This guy is Jedi-tier.
...
>I cant improve my own look on myself because I just know Im fat and out of shape
run nigger, eat some carrots.
you have never been to a therapist have you...
Wonder how many didn't regret it. Wonder how many tried again.
come on man, it's over and you know it. didn't you imply earlier that she was cheating on you? you said she was young and immature, you already know it's gonna be over
My doge is one of the few things that can make me feel better.
Why are you such a baby over some girl
We both know the problem is just you are. Im fat too. Just Focus in lost weight. DAMN user YOU CAN DO IT. WE CAN.
GET OUT THERE AND LIVE STOP EATING SHITTY AND BEING LAZY WHILE CRYING ABOUT IT QUIT MAKING EXCUSES AND FUCKING GET.OUT.THERE.
These are the most productive
this is what it looks like based on my viewing of it tho...
Just STOP EATING SHIT ALL THE DAY. FOCUS.
Several.
Only ONE never tried to bandaid the shit with drugs.
He retired, and I can't trust any of these new idiots to know their ass from a hole in the ground.
Been on a "waiting list" for one for about a year now. Clearly, mental health is nobody's priority.
Mother fucker liberate your mind!
Can't you see that the pace had fallen behind? Nigga, all that depression and hatred would only darken your heart, so go and liberate your mind.
you should be a therapist or a motivational speaker, tardy
Idk i dont really have any friends and i dont ever go out but i mean im still in highschool and i smoke a shit ton of weed and i keep telling myself that when i hit that next stage, college, job, military will make it better and ill get friends, idk thats what got me this far
Are you not proud of something I can sense it, time to let it out
Honestly there is no quick and easy answer. There may be no answer at all, thats just how depression is sometimes. But, your best bet is to drastically change your daily routine. Eat healthier, get outside more, get your sleep schedule on track. Its a good way to help you get out of the rut and on your way to recovery
This guy is the Jedi btw. I quoted the wrong user probably but what he said is right too.
Man. I would have still been freaking out and probably would have done a lot more damage. You really saved my ass. I can't thank you enough. I hope you find happiness. You deserve it. You have that little girl. I'm happy to hear that. You've got good karma coming your way if that's a thing. I'm hoping to the gods for ya bro. That's weird maybe but at least I'm user.
Loneliness is that powerful drug no one talks about.. At first it tastes horrible, but you still take it in order to liberate yourself from all the Bullshit in life. And then comes a time, when loneliness does not taste as bad, and all that Bullshit ceases to exist. Eureka !! You finally think you`ve found the holy grail, that one solution to rid yourself from all that BS... -the `loner` medicine, the answer to all your prayers... Unfortunately, that is when the real damage occurs, you start to become dependent on loneliness so much ...so so much.. that sooner or later you`d go to enormous lengths to get yourself a little bit of that lone-time. You`ll flush away golden opportunities in order to spend some time alone. You`ll destroy relationships because you believe you enjoy being alone more than you like those people. Then comes the realization phase. You realize that loneliness is not the answer. You realize that loneliness is Devil`s favorite playground. So, you try to go back to what you used to be before...but you realize its already too late. too late.... The very sight of social situations will give you emotional and physical pain. The withdrawal symptoms will have you crippled so bad, that you`d rather be a loner than embarrass yourself while trying to become that " social being" you murdered a long time ago- Loneliness is that powerful drug. It liberates you from most of your ugly problems, then imprisons you with its beauty..
bro thats the thing if you are controlling shes not gunna come back. and i mean you cant be that insecure if you got a girlfriend in the first place. just tell her whats up and what you feel, if she isnt a bitch, she'll understand what you mean.
Being alone really fucks you up. My friend committed suicide earlier this year, and it really impacted me (obviously). Best thing you can do is get OUTSIDE. Dont even have to talk to people. Just sit at a park, grab a skateboard and go around the streets, star gaze at night. Nature is therapeautic as fuck, and this is coming from someone who could only think about killing himself in class a few months ago.
Good luck user
Thank u bud, means a lot. it's good to be user sometimes, otherwise we wud never really say what we think. Catch ye on the flip side Bro.
Fight motherfucker. FIGHT!
You must climb the mountains of Scandinavia and find the nearest seer to help guide you through your ails, trials, and tribulations.
Invest in a punching bag Cred Forumsro. Cardio/Emotional outlet.
Cocaine boosts your self steem gets you pissed off and do damage to everyone that has hurt you.
but you should go to a church makes you feel better letting it all out something like God nothing is alright I need you iv`e done this and that sorry that iv`e sin.
helps you in a mental, physical, spiritual way.
very much...but mine started when i cut down drinking.
now im in a vicious cycle of needing to get a job and get my shit together so i feel less anxiety; but not being able to get my shit together because of crippling anxiety.
plus i feel like im dying...
Constant masturbating will actually make it worse. Don't do that.
This.
I bet if someone punched you in the mouth every morning you wouldn't have time for self pity.
Honestly, Cred Forumsro, as a victim of depression I really don't know how I handle it so well. I dated a girl for six years. She was the one. Beautiful. Smart. Kind. I worked jobs, she helped me through my depression until someday, for reasons she didnt say, we broke up. I was crushed of course, devastated, but I got out of it.
I just live my life. I learned to cope, and accept that I am fine being alone. I am fine being around others. I intentionally stopped caring about whimsical things and focus on myself.
My eating habits are not good, but meh. I do what I can to get enjoyment out of life.
I have never once thought about ending myself in 28 years.
*cries*
Up until two years ago, I've dealt with deppression for about 5 years. Never went to professionals, I just suffered quietly. Eventually, I figured it out myself, accepted life as it is and got somehow out of it.
Might I suggest, start going to the gym or at the least do jogging. This extracts chemicals to your brain and makes you believe you have a purpose.
Listen to vaporware and accept your loneliness. That's what got me through university.
That's true. I know that it's not okay to act like this and I'm always trying hard not to but I'll end up questioning her about stuff and working up some bloated scenario in my head and then I'm controlling again. I need to continue to work on it. Thank you for your input.
I hope you have a good one man.
I dunno OP. I used to be so good at dealing with until a month ago.
Now I feel so defeated.
Im so frustrated I can't handle it.
Just know you aren't alone OP.
