Depression general

Go outside, get some Vitamin D.
And I don't mean Vitamin Dick.

if you don't want to go to pay to go to a psych you could try st. john's wort or lithium orotate. both pretty cheap and over the counter.

honestly, what do you have to lose?

Are you running at all?

I run for an hour three to four times a week, and about twenty minutes the remaining days, and it has improved my mood tremendously since I started.

Not that user you are replying to, but 90% of all depression is because people are fat, and unhealthy.

I assume that he is trying to make you increase your test, while avoiding cortisol. Which is the main reason why people do HIIT.

and as a formerly depressed user (who now still is somewhat depressed, but part of the 10% of socially depressed people). I can safely say that if you fix your body, you will fix the majority of your depression.

Remove cortisol and increase testosterone.

Working out consistently helps me out a lot. Like you said it's still there but it helps tremendously

I will have to try and run again along with lifting
I took two weeks off of the gym when my job and school went to shit now it's all worse

>went on meds a couple weeks ago
>don't feel like a piece of shit that is beneath everyone anymore
>don't think about killing myself all the time

Feels good senpai. Why not at least look into. I feel like a lot of people tend to automatically dismiss the idea of getting treatment without any good reason.

See a therapist. This is not something answers on Veeky Forums are gonna fix.
If you can't get yourself to search for one, ask a friend or familiy member to help you. The first step is the hardest to take alone.

I just work out more when depression starts setting in again. Fuck rest days.. I'll get them in eventually.

Why must young American girls go through a whore phase? ;_;

This is the single most helpful piece of advice i got, i heard it several years ago when i was going through a pretty shit time in my life, ive found it helpful so i'll share it. Its stupid as fuck but it helped me develop some coping mechanisms for when i feel depressed.

The idea is basically you have a "toolbox", you fill it with shit that makes you happy and that you enjoy, these are your tools. when you feel like shit, instead or just moping around, use these tools, you do these things, whatever they are. if one dosnt work, try one of your others, keep doing shit untill you start feeling less bad. Your toolbox might only start off with one or two things in it but you add to it, build on it over time.

Thats it. Theres other shit like spending time with friends and going for walks/runs that can hellp.

Some shit in my toolbox is: forcing myself to catch up with friends, saying yes when im invited out instead of blowing it off, cleaning or organising shit, playing with the dogs or just giving them a cuddle (no homo), sitting outside in the sun for an hour, meditating, listening to non depressing music, going for a walk, building something, drawing something even if i have to force myself to. Those are just some ideas man, your toolbox will be unique to you, lets figre out some strategies man, what are you into bro?

I used lifting as a distraction from depression. It worked for 2-3 years, but now depression got me again. There are times where I have no energy / will to go to the gym.

Try to get at least twenty minutes a day. Never take more than two days in a row off of running or the depression will set in again. Every once in a while I'd take both Saturday and Sunday off, and by Sunday night, I'd be almost ready to cry again.

What's going on with school? Struggling with the workload?

I second this, but still suggest running, too.

I think this has something to do with the pleasure ring in the brain. I'd say to be careful with this, because it's how some people develop what they call a "food addiction" because it triggers a reaction in that part of the brain. But yours seems healthy and not food oriented, so what do I know?

Distractions dont usually work forever, thats the problem. depression is a symptom of an underlying issue, tackle that, figure out what makes you depressed and fix that, either with professional help or on your own, whatever works for you man. It aint easy but dealing with your shit really allows you to live a better life.

so, let me ask you. Why are you depressed?

of course man, like anything if done improperly it can lead to your shit getting fucked up, is more about breaking the depressive cycle with shit that feels good, body chemistry is a hell of a drug man, but your totally right, if the thing your using to fight your depression is doing you more harm than the depression itself then its time for you to reexamine your coping mechanisms.

Idk what I'm into desu outside of drinking and making money

Why would I be depressed. You guys will be the ones crying omg I lost muh stuff and muh family. Let it all go. Fear, doubt,disbelief.

Free your mind. Who cares about these people? They are good little pawns in a game. I use to care but now I see its better to stay positive and look out for number 1. Period.

While that sounds straight up baller...

Theres more to you than that, i know there is. Hage you got shit that you want to do, but you dont for some reason? What are those things?

I used to be on depression pills. I hated that i never felt like "I" was accomplishing things and that it was always thanks to the pills. So i just got off of them cold turkey,

I got out of a 4 year relationship like 6 months ago. I dont miss her at all or anything becasue she was sorta shitty, But I miss sleeping next to someone.

I tried tinder, been on 3 dates with a QT taiwanese girl, but i just feel nothing.

I think thats the worst thing about depression, is feeling nothing all the time. or when you do feel its just this sadness that actually hurts your chest. and you tear up and its all for no reason. the pain just wells up.

I started lifting though and its giving me confidence. and Im more talkative. But i think one day ill actually end my life, I feel like i live inside a robot and i dont even know why i do the things i do.

sorry for the rant, it feels nice sometimes to just talk.

Stay happy Veeky Forums i hope you all make it

Negro look at the post i responded to, literally

> but now depression got me again. There are times where I have no energy / will to go to the gym.

I care because im compassionate, i see people hurting and i help where i can. But you keep looking out for yourself, i wish you the best of luck with it, im sure your narcissism masquerading as enlightenment makes the world a better place.

I am not sure I always would buy a lot of shot when I felt down for my self and other people
Every time I have free time all I want to do is have a few people over drink
Go up stairs and fuck my wife

My only real hobby is cooking and reading as gay as that sounds but it doesn't feel social enough

Why do you feel sad though? If you feel sad you feel it for a reason, whats the reason?

Nice get
Don't become an hero bro
Become selfless and help others

>been on 3 dates with a QT taiwanese girl
This is literally your life.

Sounds like your self medicating with the booze, surprisingly normal thing to do but you might want to look at your relationship with the hooch.

sounds like you want to have a few buddies over so why dont you try and organise that this week?

Cooking and reading are fine hobbies, great things to put in your toolbox if you enjoy them. Who said all of your tools have to be social things?

I think its mostly chemical, im not sure theres really a reason for it.
i do that alot, i try and make other people happy, i dont want them to feel like i do.
IM A WHITE MALEEEEEEE!!!!

in all honesty hapas are fine if they have two loving parents and they weren't born out of some weird mail order bride thing. these stupid happa stories come from families where the parents were both shit and didnt love their children. the same shit happens with same race parents.

I feel the same way. I got broken up with not too long ago and it still hurts and I feel omg even though I have a bunch of friends and am really social. Sometimes when I'm driving home from work I just want to start crying.

>these stupid happa stories come from families where the parents were both shit and didnt love their children
So...all WMAF relationships ever?

I feel alone *

I'm not sure what else to do
Vidya makes me depressed
I tried it again last night
(Off work today) stayed up till 3am made a shit ton of progress and then felt like shit that it wasn't any real life accomplishments

Also thanks for the reply even though I'm bitching it's nice to talk about this kind of stuff with out looking like a self loathing pussy to people I see in person

If its chemical, theres a reason for it, it might not be easy but if you can figure out the why then you can stop it.

Sounds like your lonely and a bit lost desu but dont let me put words in your mouth here. You say you feel like you live in a robot, then find a way to break out of that motherfucker, what is it that makes you feel like that? You say you dont know the reason you do the things you do, maybe you need to figure that shit out then, break down your thought process, what triggers the series of events that lead to you doing things. Introspection and self examination.

>Not taking Vitamin D3 and fish oil to combat depression.

yeah, randomly i get so choked up and tears start forming, I dont know why it happens but it hurts so much. at least we aint alone in that respect.

im sorry you feel that way.

Then just Read, and cook, and catch up with friends, you enjoy these things so do them, if vidya makes you depressed then dont play vidya, the key is to do things that make you feel better or not worse.

Your barely bitching, your venting, and its healthy, i wouldnt have replied if i didnt care. dont keep that shit bottled up. You mostly sound like you need someone to just talk with, legit id recommend professional help, whatever form that takes, i personally wasnt one for clinical psychologists but i found the more relaxed envirnoment of a councelor to be helpful, some of those sessions were me just venting or ranting for like 45 mins.

DL-Phenylalanine. Available over-the-counter at healthfood and supplement stores.

>be me
>get payed 2k a month for going to university
>chad face, ripped body, people call me sunnyboy
>rich dad
>hot GF

Fuck can my life become any better?

Of course it can, if you think its as good as it gets youve got some low standards.

>I miss sleeping next to someone.
>i try and make other people happy, i dont want them to feel like i do.

holy fuck, are you me? you are me arent you? if so, then please be happy, please, thats all i ask, i know helping others makes you feel somewhat better, but please just be happy ;_;

Just made this post to get the conversation in a different direction. You guys should start to enjoy the things you have. Often sad people are blind for the good things in life. I mean you could be born in africa or the middle east and have a shitlife. Most people on this board are born in the west and they dont have to fight for their life.

;-; I miss pulling a girl in close and falling asleep. it was so nice.

The only silver lining is that i dont miss my actual ex, i miss having a relationship though, I just wanna meet a cute honest girl whos kind hearted, she doesn't even need to be all that attractive

Why would you want to conversation to go in a different direction? People are venting, realising theyre not alone, that the feelings they have are the same feelings others have which somehow makes them suck less.

I get your good intentions but you sound like one of those people who is just like "well dont be depressed then".

Your advice is solid but look at these posts man, you think any of these people (no offence guys) is ready to switch their outlook at the moment.

If you were born in africa or the middle east the constant need to survive would keep you busy which would stave off the depression.

Then go find her.

Funny you call me negro with Jewish and Asian blood in my veins but please display your stupidity some more. I am unfoetunatel. You are the copy. Sorry user that's just the way it is.

40 years and I'll enjoy laughing at you but be blessed in jesus name.

i knew you were me!
get the fuck out of this place and start to be happy! remember that qt chick from last week? get there now! please

Shhh. He`s in for a big surprise shortly not to worry CHAD lol

I have several friends who are in the same situation like the people posting here, I know what you mean. You cant help someone with good words, all the people I know who made it out of depression or down-stage made it because they changed there life very radical. But all of them needed a start, sometimes a specific experience or some one who forced them to see a psychologist or talk to supervisor about there problems and feelings.
Sorry for my englisch I hope you get the point.

The original. Not whatever gibberish autocorrect just put in.

Fuck psychologists and their pseudo science. Oh we know everything yet they look like cancer patients going through chemo. They're a joke here to make money because YOU can't deal with your own problems. If they're so good why are there so many soldiers walking around with ptsd who defended the land you're probably sitting on right now. They don't give a fuck about anyone else except themselves and their hourly fee. Tell them you won't pay and see how much they help you. They wont!

Please make it

thanks senpai, im glad everyone in here is pretty supportive, i hope you all make it and grow old with the love of your life.

Eh, you started this shit man...

I use negro when talking to everyone, dosnt matter about race if it did thatd be racist.

Original...by parroting copied lines from great minds, you sure sound like it man everything youve said has been said better by greater men. Broham, Nothing is original its all been done before, the fact that you think you are, only serves to demonstrate your arrogance and egocentric worldview.

Im glad i can make you laugh. But seriously, youll remember me in 40 years? I left such an impression on you...i wont remember you tomorrow.

im not big into jesus but i appreciate the sentiment, right back at ya mordecai chong.

I thought I had met the one, we talked lots and did shit together, but she said she wasn't interested when I asked her out. I forced myself to not talk to her or look at any of her social media etc (felt like running away but it was the only thing I could think of) for months but she started talking to me again after my 21st birthday and the feels just came flooding back, and now they aren't good ones because I know she isn't interested anyways. Should I just stick with the friend act for as long as possible and try to become a better version of myself and see if she'll change her mind? I'm so confused what to do.

Your all over the shop man i get it you dont like shrinks but they can help.

sounds like your grievances are with private healthcare, comrade

You see the sun everyday. You see me you satanic fuck. If anything happens I'll be seeing you no worries

She's not going to change. You need to be better for yourself, not for her.

Let the dead bury their dead. I'm awake. I'm alive :)

I just don't know how to deal with interacting with her. I tried to be "just a friend" for months and I couldn't get rid of the feelings, and now that's happening all over again.

i think you should consider sucking a few dicks every day to throw off depression.

are there people who actually thinking sucking dick is gay?

1. you're sharing protein

2. you're admiring masculine physique

3. being in the vacinity of other high testosterone males increases your own testosterone

eating pussy is gay because you're litterally slurping down estrogen. and long term relationships have been proven to lower testosterone.

spartans had gay orgies all the time and they were the height of masculinity. you bet they were at least fondling eachothers test producers.

all these summer DYEL's piss me off. their twink bodies don't understand, but in time i'm sure they'll get it.

Love is weird man.

If you think its legit then go with it, but dont compromise your journey, do both, better yourself and start talking with her, hang out, talk, see what happens.

If shes not into you or shit dosnt work out, dont get hung up on it. Enjoy the friendship for what it is and dont try to make it into something more.

Its been said plenty in this thread and ill say it again, figure out why you feel the way you feel, where those emotions come from. Sounds to me like a fear of rejection and some self confidence and self validation issues maybe a moderate unhealthy fixation on this chick but i dont know, you need to figure your shit out.

Nah man, just let it go. Be the best version of yourself for you, not for anyone else.

Definitely unhealthy, it was one of the first times in my life where I was almost positive that someone felt the same way for me that I did them and I was wrong. I'll try and just be casual.

I'll try my best, today was my first day of HIIT so I can finally hit my new goal weight and start working on becoming the best I can be from there. Hopefully a few weeks down the line I'll start to feel better about myself and not worry about her as much.

If you knew how damned those men were you wouldn't suggest another man to do that in their own life.

Literally what? Oh i get it...your the sun...because i dished out a sick burn on you thats so bad its able to give enough heat and warmth to nearby planets to sustain life for billions of years.

Satanic, nah thats not my scene either but go on take another guess.

If anything happens? Things are happening all the time man, theyre happening right now...hang on...can you see me now?

Yeah no worries man, have a good one.

Sorry unenlightened one. I'd rather not destroy time again like I did last time with what I know. I really do hope they get you right in the eye though for me. I actually like them far more than I like any of you awful humans. You make me sick the way you pollute the planet and care for nothing more than the accumulation of stuff. Not to worry. Your time grows short with each passing day

Hope you can swim though. Be blessed but I won't let you steal my joy. Call me when you get to Mars though ok bro lol

Weed. Excerise. Good diet. Meditation. Find hobbies

Try this. If that doesn't work consider see a professional.

How's it feel a low level like myself learned all this with my soul intact. If I wanted to I could make that little toy you have stop working permanently. All with my words. You will never destroy what I am friend. I assure you of that.

>I think thats the worst thing about depression, is feeling nothing all the time. or when you do feel its just this sadness that actually hurts your chest. and you tear up and its all for no reason. the pain just wells up.

This is me. I've became so cold, lethargic and apathetic I cant even remember the last time I cried though. I just cry internally. Like my head physically hurts with thought and I just wanna put shotgun lead through it so badly.

>But i think one day ill actually end my life, I feel like i live inside a robot and i dont even know why i do the things i do

Also me. Thing is I'm starting to look foward to it it. It's dawned on me that death IS the light at the end of the tunnel. Life was the tunnel all along.

I just dont understand why we feel this way. and why so many people are stuck like us? It doesnt make sense

Bad thing I miss my ex. Like actually. I feel like they will never ever be replaced. :(

Pfffttthahaha...

Alright bro whatever, you started shit, couldnt handle the bantz and now have gone full i dont even know what the fuck...fedora new age wannabegod retard. Your shit was funny but now its just sad, super fucking sad, its the saddest thing in this thread and there are dudes here who have casually mentioned killing themselves and deep crushing loneliness.

Im on mars now bro, whats your number?

they will trust me, I met this girl, and i straight up fell in love with her personality, she wasnt single so that really sucked, but i enjoyed my friendship with her far more than i enjoyed my 4 year relationship. you dont believe something can be better until you experience it.

The girl that i really like left the country for good tho, kinda sucks but shes a really good friend. and she gives me hope that one day ill meet a girl i jive with on another level and ill feel happy for once.

Keep your head up, one day youll meet the best girl of your life.

I got hit by a spell of depression and anxiety lately and it's made me want to withdraw. I don't feel much of anything for my partner of 2 years and it's like I'm observing and criticizing my life from a third person perspective. Everything is absurd and meaningless.

I don't know if I should separate with them to spare them going through this bullshit with a partner who is so insecure and aloof, who is so checked-out. It fucking sucks and is incredibly emasculating and I feel like less than a human being for it.

I think my underlying cause is undiagnosed aspergers or something. I've never been able to fit in with people all my life so I live a life of intense loneliness.

Don't get me wrong, I've had acquaintances and still do, but Ive never had real deep friendships like normies do. I can't interact with people properly, and when I try at normie events, I'm always aware how false it all is, and feel more alone and depressed.

I've just concluded after 21 years I wasn't made for this world, and further trying just means further pain.

1. No you're not
2. Say God's name and I'll never come on this board or Veeky Forums again in life.

You won't because you're too pussy. Like I said before if I have any disease that they said I didn't have God help those who tried to hide it. You have no idea what or who you're dealing with. New age is a satanic joke so don't lump me in with them. How about you about actually try to help people and not be a shit human being

You talk a big game but i dont see you doing anything other than that.

Ive already compromised what you are, i dont need to do anything else, your destroying yourself by responding to me ya dingus, im taking your time, and motherfucker thats all youve got in this life. Plus your salty as fuck and thats cute to watch.

American?

Hahaha all I have is time especially when death is an illusion. Please do go on simpleton you really are making me laugh right now.

You lose because you are destined to lose. You and the rest of your kind disobeyed and were cast out. Our battle will go on for eternity. You should know this by now friend.

I noticed you didn't say God's name either.

Told you you're a pussy.

You're the guy that when they put a gun in your family's face will bend over and suck cock to save your own life. You're a joke

1. Prove im not
2. Ok. God. Now fuck off and never talk to me or my son again.

I do help people, i help people every day of my life and im going to keep doing that, i dont need you to tell me to do something i already do...im not really a shit human being either as far as human beings go im probbably mediocre.

I know exactly who im dealing with, some random nobody on the internet.

What the hell is going on here? here we got a bunch of bros coping with shit, and then theres these two in there own mini thread?

I am no one. Depression needs something to build itself on. It can't build on no one :)

Have a great day sport.

Oh let me guess you think they're somebody because they have money right. Bill gates, Ted Turner, Donald Trump.

You're more of a nobody then I am. You won't even utter his name you're so scared of him. A joke!

My bad this dude started shit while i was trying to help and i got carried away and now its turned into full blown madnesss shitposting.

Why do I care about the humans so much...

If you are God then say Gods name and I will leave Veeky Forums and the Internet forever

What are you even on about? Money dosnt make the man. Your strawmanning straight up nonsence at this point. Youve got some shitposting skills though i'll give you that.

I said his name, god, thats what i call him when we talk anyway.

When did i say i was god?

Also...god...now fuck off.

Guess I'm here to stay then. Everyone go out into nature Stop listening to this schmuck telling you to give your money to drug addict psychologists who have to drink to deal with the shit show that is their own lives.

Be happy in this day that the lord hath made
