Sleep a lot.

>Implying I ever got out of it user.

Just have to try to keep busy with productive things and keep moving forward.

I've done various opiate medications everyday for the last 15 years

stopped caring about the little shit in life

Hobby. Even if I have 0 motivation, I still force myself to do it. The snowball starts off small, but the more it rolls the bigger it gets.

We are all going to die someday. Doesn't matter what you did, you will be equally as dead as the next person.
Also working out, vitamins, fish oil, reconnecting with nature , meditation, no porn

A positive hobby, ditched the losers in my life, surrounded myself with positive people, started eating healthier and exercising more

accept and embrace it and the anger that brought it on you faggot. Control the anger and rage and let it become you. Partake in masculine hobbies and prepare for the race war

I obtained a timber wolf pup and raised him to be my protector and companion.

graduated high school

This might help user. At least temporarily.

You man the fuck up.

>waaa i'm depressed

Depression used to just be called life, but someone let you guys wallow around and cry about it.

Occupy myself at all times.

Find a balance between self improvement and self destruction.

I drink a lot but lift and do BJJ, and I'm going to school.

Just stay busy really.

Meditation and laying off the internet.

I did a lot of cocaine and then I got a boyfriend who helped me through it.

Nihilism. Just live life the best you can.

Kegel exercises.

I'm not kidding.

Remind myself that Kek shall rain chaos upon the Earth so nothing matters until the day of reckoning.

Hate to say it, but this is true. Learning to cope and overcome life's bullshit is what men are suppose to do. Too much faggotry in society has made it seem like an acceptable path to dwell on life's hardships.

turn it into anger, then use that anger to be productive. our minds are factories, some more productive than others, i now see depression as a stagnant form of being, just gotta redirect your energy.

Distract yourself. Don't think about how shitty life is, just live it.

this
also avoid alcohol drugs. keep exercising. eat well. drink a lot of water. form a stable daily routine.

I just watch anime all day to pass the time until ai gfs become a thing.

Get a hobby.

I've been trying to put my mind on something, but I just don't feel like putting effort into anything at all, not my studies, not in hobbies, just the thought of doing things I used to enjoy like vidya, anime or jacking off makes me lethargic. I'm legit a social autist without any close friends, but it's not social interaction that I crave, or I would've gone and made friends long ago.

Is this depression, Cred Forums? I'm not angsty and moping about like a emo kid crying while listening to MCR, it's more like an extreme slothness and lack of will for anything

Fake it till you make it. Even when you're sure it'll last forever, it never does. No clue when it happened but one day I noticed that I wasn't depressed anymore.

What's this shit now?

This.
Pull yourself together. Shit isn't going to get any easier. Life isn't about feeling good or bad, it is about struggle and what you can do about it.

Focused it into anger and use it to trigger people at uni. Granted it does sometimes catch up to me, due to things like being unable to get a job interview in over a year, but most of the time watching people sperg out is worth it.

stimulants are helping mine

You never really move beyond depression though, you kind of just become used to the pain after awhile.

Destroy people like hillary clinton

Seriously, you just have to get back up and keep moving, even it's moving slowly. Pick a habit from this thread and start working on it. You can't steer a parked car.

i don't and its killing me

I've lived with it most of my life. I don't give a shit anymore.

leaf bro if you are there I want I you to listen up, after graduating college this year I flew back to see my hometown highschool (Rye, New York) play our rivals the Harrison Huskies. We fucked them up bad, 42-12. Anyway, during the tail gate I wore my old HS jersey with my name on the back of it, me and my old buddies from HS did this and after the game, I talked to my old coach and asked him if he remembered me, he gave me a huge hug and said "user, I will never forget a player that stepped onto my field, never until the day I die" This guy has been coaching at rye since 1972 and is a huge deal in HS football and in my hometown. he has had literally thousands of kids come through this program and I know he would remember all of them. After this I called up my grandpa and told him how old Im getting, he laughed and said "user 1 year from how old you are now I was married, I worked straight out of the army and made the mistake of marrying too early" he said this while laughing. "Go out and experience your twenties, lifes too short for this to go to waste." Tells me about how he remembers so well playing baseball with his father and his brothers and when he dropped out of HS and signed up for the army, saying that you can take him anywhere in germany or france that he fought and can tell you where he was during it.

>get out of it
???

I just remind myself that I'm not some stupid nigger in Africa, or some other third-world country.
Could be worse

he then proceeded to name all the guys he fought alongside in his company. He just finishes it off with "Please get out there and explore the world, find a nice girl at the right time, but for now explore the world and have fun, it will be the best thing for you." I went to bed that night in tears because I was just so afraid of life and didnt know what to do. But you know what I did in the morning, I booked a flight to California, a place Ive never been before, me and two buddies of mine from college are staying out there and hopefully going to find work and see what happens to us. I want to have adventure in my life, I dont want to stay in the same home town Ive been in my whole life, just go out there and have fun, make friends, and love life. Do what my grandpa said, live life to the fullest because you only have one shot, pic related is based grandpa in ww2 BTW

cigarettes and a punching bag

Look outside yourself. Sitting in traffic, wallowing over whether your shit job will go anywhere meaningful, look at the cars around you. Every single one of them has their own little journey. Their own little world with their own seemingly insurmountable struggles. Then, realize we are all along for a similar ride and the times we are stuck in traffic are just too make us appreciate that day we catch all the green lights. If you're going to see that day, you have to keep driving.

I figured out what depression really is.

It's not a disorder at all. It's a mechanism of our biology to weed out the social undesirables.

Biology favors women more than men, because men can theoretically impregnate someone once a day, while it takes 1 woman 9 months. In times of hunger and poverty, men would have to compete more and more as the women got more and more selective. The capitalist statist system (yes, that's what I just said) causes scarcity anxiety through debt; that's how a surplus economy is accumulated, by making men and women work harder and extra by controlling them with interest put on their money (by capital). The system keeps the people in perpetual anxiety , and what it does to the human brain is trick it into nomad-mode. People become more individually oriented, and degenerate lifestyles result from the anxiety. Suddenly, the world is more gluttonous, because they're afraid of their food disappearing; they become more lustful, because they're afraid of love disappearing. The anxiety of scarcity perpetuates one to become a hoarder. Depression is the result of people not being fulfilled socially. As I said, the men got the short end of the straw, but that's a misconception, because the women at the top become non-sexual queens who commit suicide because their standards are so high; likewise, men (Cred Forums calls them robots) kill themselves because they have low social standards, have no friends, etc. In every case where depression is "cured", the person said they just talked to their friends and family and it made them better. That's all a depressed person needs, is socialization. The worst thing someone could ever say to you is to "love yourself", because that type of spitefulness towards society is what makes people depressed in the first place. We're altruistic by nature, and we shouldn't take advantage of that.

one last thing, I suggest watching a movie called "hector and the search for happiness" saw it with a friend of mine and we cried our fucking eyes out, it will help you get through this

Go on NoFap

Drink filtered water only

Lift

Get a qt gf that you can make love with

You need a purpose and a goal to get up in the morning, something to struggle with to reach success in.

I take lexapro. It helps.

You never beat it, you're stuck with it forever. Ask Robin Williams.

"It gets better" my ass. It never does. Learn to make it your strength or let it destroy you, it's up to you.

Not OP but damn that is awesome!

Lurking in Cred Forums has brought to my attention that my everyday mememes and blahblahs and yaddayaddas don't matter that much. This helped me to stay mentally more grounded. Also raised awareness on what the external factors of my misery are.

1. Physical Exercise (swimming, weightlifting, running, hiking - whatever you enjoy. non-competitive solo sports are best to begin with.)

2. Eat Healthy (fruits and vegetables and meat - paleo diet works well and is easy. try to avoid excess sugar and caffeine.)

Set Goals (start with small, attainable short-term goals at first. reward yourself when you achieve them.)

Positive Self Talk (watch what you tell yourself, what you think. try to eliminate negative thoughts and replace them with positive or at least neutral thoughts. your subconcious brain believes what it is told, so tell it what you want it to believe.)

Social Contact (work up to socializing with other people in a context that is comfortable for you. online doesn't count. this needs to be with people in your immediate physical vicinity. join a club or a team or a meetup. start one and advertise it if there is nothing interesting to you in your area. start out small. maybe at first you just walk on the street and say hello to someone, nothing else. eventually maybe you can host a game night party or something you enjoy.)

The key is to keep yourself busy with things that interest you: ie. hobbies.

If you are suicidal medication can be a temporary solution but side effects usually prevent it from providing long-term relief.

Talk to someone about how you are feeling.
If you don't have friends or family that you feel comfortable with you may be able to find a counselor/therapist through public/community health services.

It's not real

yell whenever I can get away with it
I yell a lot
usually in the morning

Cool! My grandfather fought under Montgomery in WW2. He said the soldiers loved with a huge passion and that the guy could command a room like no other general

You cant. I'm taking xanax lexapro daily, what can I do? Already have plans before killing myself but I'll take a while. Fuck, I cant take it. Some people are just meant to suffer.

I was seated in my room spent. The real fuck you of depression is the lack of energy.
To tired to get up in the morning no matter what you eat or how you exercise. It's a
constant drain. And no matter how you explain it to others they just don't understand
how weakened you are.

I was flipping the channels in my room and some fat tv preacher was doing a sermon on
demonology. Normally you don't see them discuss things like that so I figured it'll be
entertainment. He goes on and on about how these things are the source of agony, pains,
......and depression. Paid a little more attention. He says you can order these things out
and says "In the name of Jesus christ Satan, demons get behind me and get out of this house"

That's it? I don't have to pay him 19.95 for a book? Ok your on.

Said out loud "Satan, demons get behind me and get out of this house." Here's where it
got real. Something happened behind my head up from the base of my spine. Something
poped off or was taken off me. One second depressed, depleted, next second fine.
Slowly turned around, not a thing was in the room. Abstract from it what you will.
There are things around us we don't see that interact with us. I don't care how that
sounds. It's the truth.

He helped me, I helped you.

Thanks!

Its truly amazing how much difference a man can make, I hope I affected you positively today bud, we all have our own demons and I guess each one needs to be sorted out each way. Hope you find you path brother.

MAKE MYSELF GREAT AGAIN!

I'm fucked, alone and got money left for only 3 months. I just sleep and Cred Forums all day.

First thing I need to do is fix my sleeping schedule. I need to find something intresting that keeps me awake long enough so I don't sleep on daytime. I can only think of vidya intresting me but that also comes with shame cause only lazy fucks play vidy. I'm already failing.

don't care if trolling or not, 8/10 would read again.
you remember the preacher user?

Finding a decent therapist, (sometimes you have to go through a few to find one) if you are in a country that doesn't allow free access to one look up CBT or DBT therapy and techniques and try to apply them to yourself (keeping a diary of your experiences, thoughts, emotions and reactions/behaviors to them so you can find the correlations between them) mindfulness meditation, self study, and sometimes mild medication to alleviate present symptoms. Meds for me weren't that great but they were useful in the short term to kick suicidal thoughts and inability to do anything until you can do the cognitive work to get better. Essentially you will be figuring out the roots of these feelings and thought processes and slowly implementing action to retrain/reprogram your brains neural pathways and it's responses to certain stimuli. There is a small percentage of clinic depression where there actually is a genetic brain chemical imbalance, and this is where medication can help, but most of the cases are related to environment and trauma and can be eventually resolved by cognitive re training. Unfortunately it just takes time and a will to actually get better. There is hope and you can get through it :) sometimes you have to be in the dark for a while to see the light.

lol I'm shouting this right now
pretty fun tbqh

>Finding a decent therapis
what is a decent therapist?
I'm seeing one for 2 years now and don't feel better. It seems childish for me to just say its his fault though.

nope

yea, its the best
youre basically dead for a little while and dont feel anthing

you're getting memed
therapist wont do shit
youre better off talking to a priest

Get some exercise and take vitamin D 500 IU a day. You'll feel better in 2 weeks.

>therapist wont do shit
yeah and I won't do shit either

going to a therapist and handing him your balls doesnt count? lol

Let the Good Shepherd take care of you. Search about Jesus, he'll make you feel whole and take the emptiness away, just like He did to me.

Godbless you, user.

Stay relatively healthy.

I did a bunch of mushrooms earlier in my life. My life by many standards would make most people depressed, however I have never really felt that way in years.

theguardian.com/science/blog/2016/may/17/why-psychedelics-could-be-a-new-class-of-antidepressant-psilocybin

Denial. Depression is pretty much just dwelling on the worst things.

Religion is the root of all evil.

Really what a therapist does is just talk to people. There's really not a particular hard science to it and a lot of it in many senses is considered a scam.

you never had depression.

dude what are you talking about
I talk to him for an hour and don't even have to pay for it

You're being fooled by Satan.

>pic

where is that? It's nice.

This is massively over looked due to the fact that it's classified as a psychedelic.

Mushrooms really do help a lot with depression.

This guy knows what's up.

am I banned?

For me it was dedicating myself to making money and I used that money to get girls and get laid. But I got fat. Not I have to dedicate myself to getting healthy. Fit people seem pretty happy and dont have to spend money to get laid.

Get /fit and get rich and you will be happy.

But really, just find a purpose, and make a plan, then work your ass off to achieve it. No time for depression when you find drive.

Exactly as your god planned it.

Life will always have struggle. Stop running from it. No amount of sex, drugs, ect will stop it. Life isn't about being happy. Find something that motivates you. Find something that you are willing to struggle for.

Eat well and exercise. Does wonders for the mood. Especially exercise.

Just take your bike and go outside for 30min everyday. Or jog (even just walking if you're a fat fuck).

I don't. Every day I just die a little more inside.

Lift and lift hard.

a mixture of mindful meditation and stoicism. Realize that there's two types of things in life: shit can you change, and shit you can't. Work on the shit you can change, and fuck the shit you can't.

Also mediate, google mindful mediation, it helps.

I don't. I'm just waiting for something to happen and hopefully die painlessly

>I'm fucked, alone and got money left for only 3 months. I just sleep and Cred Forums all day.

I've got maybe a year left of savings, but more or less the same situation here. Checked out.

If life isn't about being happy. What's the purpose then?

Nothing motivates me

lets make ourselves great again user

My first step will be my sleep schedule. I will Sleep, do some important stuff for an hour, eat and then vidya till nighttime and sleep again.
If I got that fixed I will eat more, learn how to cook.
Then will look into sports and meditating.
Then hopefully a job someway.
Then wageslaving a few months to get some savings and thinking what i want to do in my life.
then trying to achieve that.

I buy shit I cant afford with money I don't have and then get depressed when I have to make the payments

> American way

drugs & meditation, eh

Don't worry, Merkel is importing all the friend you'll need to make it happen :^)

By not being a cuckold.

Oxygen therapy

Lots of good advice in this thread but I like this one the most. A stoic mindset helps me tremendously every day. Also exercising, not eating like shit, and finding that ONE hobby (besides Cred Forums) that you're extremely passionate about. Personally I exercise 4 times a week (I would more but I can't eat enough to keep up), eat enough veggies, and play/listen to music. I picked up the guitar a year ago and I play at least 2 hours a day, it's affected my life very positively.

Also stop being a little fucking bitch. Realize that you're a fucking man like I did. Nothing is too big or bad for a man to handle. This is coming from someone who attempted suicide last year

My country only got around 100 rapefugees. Too many, but not enough to make a difference

I guess you can just go to Catalonia and shout "Franco did nothing wrong"

Winners have high energy. Winners don't get depression. Depression is low energy.

If you are depressed you are slow, tired, unmotivated and perceived 'boring'.
If this is the case, you need a solution. The solution is simple.

Smoke weed

It really is this simple. Dr. Goldberg and CEO Silverstein just don't want to admit it and just pump people full of medication.

If you're so depressed that you can't even function properly, you have to focus on very basic tasks. Getting enough sleep, drinking enough water, drinking enough food, going for a walk around the block, doing simple exercises at home, 10 minutes of meditation, etc. will start to improve your mood slowly. Once this happens, you can start working towards other goals.

improve nutirition. prostitutes, weed and forget the past as much as you fuking can,

for me it's not even the motivation, but the energy, or lack thereof

I was only depressed because I worked with a women whom I was in love with, but couldn't have, worst 18 months of my life.

I left that job and now I'm fine, though I still think about her sometimes

That's what I did. Was suicidal a few years back and one day I woke up and something clicked. I said to myself, "why am I being such a fucking faggot?". I went out and did things I wouldn't normally do and over time made my life better. I don't get depressed anymore but I think part of it now is just being jaded and knowing that life will always go from decent to shit and there's nothing you can do. Grow a pair and stop being a nu-male thinking the world owes you something because you're a sad cunt.

Heroin addict here. If you think you're depressed now just wait my friend

I just work like a mule. The more I focus on work the less I remember how much I hate everything.

Buy a cook book and get good at cooking.

Learn how to knife fight.

Anything to improve yourself, user.

Living things were never mean to live lavish, comfortable existences. We need something chasing us whether it be predators or our own empty stomachs. You need to struggle to be happy, to succeed in something to truly be alive. The modern world can make you forget that, but always struggle for something more with every fiber of your being. Go climb a fucking mountain, jump out of a plane, start your own business, ask that girl out, hit them gym, do fucking anything.

i've achieved one of those, where does one learn how to knife fight? I can't imagine this skill coming in handy much, but the one time it does you're glad you know your shit

Self-bumping this.

Seriously guys, if you're struggling in any way shape or form, give the Wim Hof Method a try. Depression/Anxiety and whole a host of ailments are directly caused by the body not having enough oxygen. Most of us don't maintain healthy oxygenation due to shallow breathing habits, which leads to blood's pH levels becoming excessively acidic, and an acidic body leads to disease.

youtube.com/watch?v=Np0jGp6442A

Here's a sample exercise for experiencing the effects. Starts at 8 minutes in to the video.

Stop giving a shit

>You man the fuck up.
not how it works

>Nootropics

Literally snake oil.

It's all a crock of shit to fool middle class kids into buying into a repeat customer business model. They can't even attribute their own success to themselves. They just "accept" the fact they need to spend $100 bucks a month to think.

Pathetic.

I prefer the one hole in my ass as it is. How do you recommend avoiding getting stabbed if someone were to draw a knife?

the best cure for depression is staying busy. work a full time job and work out on the weekends. u won't have time to be depressed.

nothing worked for me except waiting until it gets a bit better and taking the opportunity to do cardio

T. high and mighty kid who never tried adderall

Depression is
isolation
unimportance
impossibility.
Move your big toe.
Combat those three things with something small that you can do right now. Can you do ten push-ups right now? Here is possibility and arguably connection and importance.
Also look at your diet and sleep habits, it is not a coincidence that the generations reporting unprecedented depression eat candy and stay up late. Reduce and eventually cut out refined sugar. Prefer fiber, vitamins and proteins to carbs. Duet controls mood.

pretty good insights there user, I think I've come to similar conclusions several times. Even for myself, whom I consider quite good at handling long periods of self-induced isolation, when I look back to my lifting years with my best friend, the social contact and comradery. That really was the true cure for depression. Even then, we both would feel it at times, but pulling eachother out of low periods was incredible. No drug can ever match that feel.

Look forward to each day I can shitpost on Cred Forums?

Honestly it is like the joy of my life at this point
