Go to a legit therapist

Depression in men is caused my not enough winning.

Your aren't smashing enough muff. You aren't owning your career. You aren't popular. Your life isn't exciting.

>he thinks there's a cure to depression other than killing yourself

Is that a fucking 8 lb dumbbell? wtf what a weird increment. All the gyms Ive been to go up by 5's and in some cases 2.5's.

Psychiatrist that will prescribe drugs for you.
There's really no other way if it's real depression.

Just smile bro.
Fake it til ya make it.

Exercise and activity is a way to manage depression. It's not a one and done deal that permanently cures it.

It's how your life is and it's something you're going to have to deal with for the rest of your life friend. Learn to live with it, through the highs and the lows.

Exercise..it's there to help prevent and manage the lows that define our lives. Sorry if some asshole made you think it would be an instant cure all forever and ever.

>KG

There is a place outside of America where they use KG, you monkey

Sort yourself out.

cardio

Aw shit, didn't notice that. Sorry mates. Me two dum to noetis

> depression doesn't exist in successful people

You just stole post, buddy.

Try 1 hour of cardio and see how you feel.
also

depends on what the cause of your depression is. occupying your mind will help to some degree but unless you find the cause and fix it you will never get rid of it

A lot of Elliot Hulse's stuff helped me with my depression

You will never make it, because you are nothing but a little cucked bitch

This. Lifting is just a physical analogy for dealing with your emotional problems. The weight on the bar is the crushing feelings of sadness and despair, boredom and self-hate. It's up to you to be able to push that weight off of you when it comes crashing down on top of you. And when the weight is too much and you get pinned under the bar you either have to struggle and feel embarrassed as you do the roll of shame or call out for help from others.

The problem today is that, just like lifting, you grow emotionally strong by starting with light weight and moving up; but I feel as though most of us avoided the heavy feels for most of our early life and stuck with the light stuff; then something happened. You had no choice but to try to lift that 2 pl8 feel and you got stuck under the bar. But life isn't like the gym, bars kept piling up and because you were pinned the weight just kept getting stronger and stronger. And you were either too afraid or embarrassed to call for help, which happens to a lot of introverts, or nobody came along strong enough to help you lift the weight. But it's not over. Emotions aren't like a bar, the weight isn't pinned to one thing and you can take off little by little every day, every moment. So start taking off small weights and work up, struggle till you get it all off. You've been pinned under so much for so long and you're not dead, that's evidence in it's self you can still make it.

>im 12 btw

zach? just lift bro

Lifting doesn't just cure you of depression, retard. You need to put in a little effort in other areas

Firstly, by asking yourself these questions.

If you are in college, do you understand 90% of the courses you can choose are useless? If so, are you enjoying the course you chose and find it meaningful?

Do you have a job that you find fulfilling?

Masturbating every day at a unhealthy rate?

Do you have a healthy relationship with your parents, grandparents and other extended family members?

Is your sleeping orderly?

If you use recreational drugs, are you becoming reliant on them?

Ask yourself these questions and think for a second how much your current mode of being is getting on with itself.

Secondly, check out some of Jordan Peterson's lectures. The man knows his way around the brain:

youtube.com/watch?v=MLp7vWB0TeY
youtube.com/watch?v=gwUJHNPMUyU


Lastly, Read.

You're supposed to workout synchronically with your mind if you want to become an uburmench. Start with pic related.

You might be wondering why I'm giving you this advice, it's because I was, and am still trying to champion, like you right now. Giving this advice is both theraputic for me and helpful for you. I know this because it's helped me when I was on the brink.

You don't look bad if this makes you feel any better.

It sucks that this guy is on the shitlist over gender pronouns.
His self-help stuff and most of his videos completely unrelated to the sociopolitical shitstorm right now are fucking amazing and it's great he's getting new levels of exposure.

It's actually a good thing because it propelled him into the spot light. His lectures are like 90-10 men to women, which is good because a lot of men who were previously lost have someone who is speaking to them directly while teaching them how to be a man, not demonizing them.

The SJW's gave him this chance and i myself am thankful to have learned of him.

read a lot of shit Veeky Forums points you to!

Go to the doctor, ask for a medical opinion
Go to a therapist, try CBT.
Improve your diet, eat veg veg and more veg. Cut out the caffeine, cigarettes and alcohol.
Socialise more, speak to people.

Unfortunately you can't show his videos to certain people that really need his advice right now because he's known as "that transphobic bigot professor" which we know is horse shit but it shows just how much sjws want men to suffer and will shut down any resource that seems to actually be helping (see how much the "MRA" bogeyman has been memed into fedora neckbeard image)

go outside more. I think being inside 100% of the time really fucks with your brain for some reason. Also stop eating anything with refined sugar, or just junk food in general.

being on Veeky Forums fucks with your mind way more than being indoors

Find yourself user. Find the things that make you depressed and try to solve them. If you can't just try to stay away.

Read the Stoics. It really helped me being a more balanced individual.

I'd start with getting rid of that lame ass haircut lmao

>/thread or start drinking

OP you dumb motherfucker. Did you do any research before you came over here complaining?

Is your diet clean, no processed bullshit?

Start drinking kale shakes every morning.

Stop jerking off.

Look into meditation and maybe pot if that's your thing (it's definitely mine)

Lifting is just one pillar of a stable mind. You have to get the rest of your health together.

>he doesn't get autistic rage that is only preventable by SSRIs or working out and being exhausted
you're not depressed you're a faggot

>Kale shakes
have fun with your messed up thyroid bro

trips of truth. great post breh

so how can i get help if i'm one of those people? i never open to anyone because i'm ashamed of what i became so just keep it all inside

Quess what. Being successful doesn't mean you are doing well socially, physically or materially or w/e.

Let's say if you are super talented singer with millions of fans and you are only surrounded by leeches. Then you will sooner or later realise that you don't have any people who really care about you. And that is what feelsbadman.

>US
>education

pardon me for being biased.

...

Of all form of physical exercise, cycling lifts my mood the most. There is something about pedaling relentlessly for many hours through glorious landscape that no lifting under artificial light can provide.

>did 90 km run through the country
>listen to music
>forget about all problems for 3 hours
>come back
>the moment i enter house start to feel like shit again

buy a new house

That sucks. After a ride, my spirits are up at least to the end of the day.

True. And funnily enough the people that hate him the most need his advice the most too. The people screaming at his lectures sound like who he is usually describing.

Cardio kills mental gains

Earthing. Magnet therapy (neodymium magnets, north side (important)), Sungazing.

Zoloft

I am of the godliest creatures on earth. Still need zoloft. If God would not save his son from crucifixion while he was in the body, why would he save his other sons from depression while they are still in the body.

You dont understand anything and this will be your demise false god. The crucifixion was necessary, he had to die so he could beat death. By that the human race could reenter paradise and could be redeemed

We'll see, creature. September 23rd, 2017

...

>Is your diet clean, no processed bullshit?

There are people with shit diets who aren't depressed, this is a fucking meme

There are more factors than what you're eating to determine it. Environment, genetics, etc. So of course someone could eat like shit and not be depressed, but there are other variables to consider.
The analogy is that your genetics, environment, any other random factor is what loads the gun but your actions are what pulls the trigger. In this case the action is eating garbage processed food.

pretty good analogy, thanks brah

Become a 6'3" insecure, but outwardly appearing chad by getting to 235lbs and 12% BF with lots of sterons and full-body everyday training then become mentally addicted to 60mg of Dextrometh or D-amph and Benzos.

At least that's me; But I was going nowhere being 320lbs, unshaven and constantly the underog; Now at least nearly everyone treats me with respect.

why would he want to save them in the first place

you need to die
but you also need to be reborn

kill yourself, go where you least want to go, do what you least want to do and confront death
you know exactly what those things are, you're avoiding them like hell because you're scared of being judged by the lurking demons
then emerge from your carcass as a newly born man, changed but strong

No. If one easy thing doesn't fix it, then forget it. I'll just be sad forever.

eat healthy

>the moment i enter house start to feel like shit again
>buy a new house
you might have a shit house. not to get too crazy, but i lived in asia and feng shui is believable to an extent.
different spaces have different energy.
maybe your house has bad energy.

When I come back from a ride I'm too physically exhausted to think about how I feel. My thought process goes something like EAT DRINK SHOWER EAT THIGHS BURN EAT CARBS EAT FAP

Maybe there's mold somewhere hidden growing in your house. Mold will fuck you up bro

got to the gym every single day for more than 2 hours. You will never ever feel depressed again - unless you stop.

>no processed bullshit
>drink kale
>pot is definitely my thing

Its a microcosm of all things retarded.

Fuck my ass no homo

Take antidepressants.

Cold showers standing up.

Wake up at the same time every day of the leap

Wake up with the sunlight

Take your vitamins and eat healthy.

Socialize or R9K whatever to vent.

Those will all objectively help. Its how the body is hardwired. If it doesnt, chances are you aren't "depressed" as much as you are bored/sad.

repurpose the last 2 words of your post into my response

OP, you can't "get rid of depression".

It's like death or boredom, it's a part of life that happens and you will have to carry that until you can move onto something else. Everyone will tell you shit like try books, god, drugs, etc. I will say consider them all, as long as it's something beyond the scope of "working out".

Find something that gives you purpose and get laid regularly, otherwise you'll remain this sad sack for the rest of your already brief existence.

Treatment-resistant depression is a bitch to say the least.

I've tried working out, volunteering, meditating, reading, anti-depressants galore, both one-on-one and group therapy, even ECT. The existential angst, apathy, and anhedonia still cling to me like ticks, slowly draining my spirit away.

All I can say is Major Depressive Disorder is not something you can simply "get rid of"; you have to find a way to manage it. Otherwise, becoming an hero will seem like the only way to escape.

>get laid regularly

Fuck you. I get what you're saying and shit, but still. Fuck you for acting like that shit just comes to everyone.

>feel depressed
>start working out and dieting better (skelefag)
>feel great about taking pride in my body for 3-4 months
>good feeling goes away and depression comes back, but now I know if I stop working out it'll get worse than ever
>tfw the heaviest lifts we do aren't in the weights

Most people say smoking weed is for degenerates, but it's the only escape from depression for me.
I lift l, i do my cardio, eat healthy, have a job as a programmer, tried antidepressants, a shitton of therapy, honestly there is nothing that will change this shit so i dont fucking care, every time it's weekend i'll smoke myself into oblivion, it's the only drug that keeps me going and gives me motivation like nothing else, and it seems like its working out for me pretty well.

Get an hpa and hormone panel done.
If normal, start CBT.
If needed, add an SSRI.
If you have an immediate reaction (within a few hours) you may have a bipolar disorder. If so, consider options from there.

Boom, Neurobro once again summarizes western mental medicine for you.

This is beautiful user.

if there are hormone tests why do doctors give out SSRIs and SNRIs without testing first?

I wish I knew how or where to acquire drugs like that. I've always wanted to at least try weed or psilocybin mushrooms to see if they help, even just a little.

Ride a motorcycle, seriously.

It's the best antidepressant around and it's bad ass if you manage to pull it off (matching bike/gear).

It's also ridiculously fast

...

I broke up with my gf 3 weeks ago, still love her but she was a pain in the ass, she would get mad or sad because of stupid shit reasons, lifting makes me feel somewhat better,still miss her, but I know the pain will eventually go away.

Honest answer? Most people are drug seeking and it's easier/quicker . Hormones can cause any sort of symptoms related to mental illness. The DSM even states anything explained by biological illness can't be a mental illness.

seriously Jordan Peterson has some very, very great advice. That's all it is tho - advice. It takes some work in order to change your state of mind.

I was in a similar situation. There were a lot of things wrong with my life ( bad body, living paycheck to paycheck, long distance with my girl). And I tried to solve all of those problems. In 2 times I had arrived to the conclusion that solving them still didn't change anything. so what I did is I evaluated my past mistakes that I was too scared to look at and actually acknowledge. Dropping out of uni was a huge one for me. It lead me to the realization that even tho I am making decent money, it's in dead-end job and my depression stemmed from the fact that I had basically lost my professional security and left behind ambiguous ideas of what future might hold.
so I got a job in a field that I loved, and a job that allowed me to grow and learn and I felt better the same fucking day.

I guess, what I'm trying to say is that all that ''gay shit'' and looking deep withing actually works and you should try to identify these issues and do something about it.

Ride it out man and try to do as much positive and productive crap you can do. Lifting doesn't cure depression but it lessens it. You still feel useless and like shit but less and atleast you are doing one positive thing.
You should also get a legit therapist like the other anons said. The longer you are depressed the more chance you have to become depressed later in life or to become chronically depressed.
My depression lasted for almost 3 years, I eveb tried killing myself. Then a year ago out of nowhere life started getting easier and I started doing more shit, I stopped being anxious and my depression just disappeared. There was no trigger whatsoever, it just happened.
Healing from real depression is a mental and physical battle. Just like any other diseases it takes time to heal but you can nurture yourself to lessen the symptoms and fasten your recovery.
Godspeed user.

cardio will left depression, weights on their own won't.

Reminder to OP that Peterson's future authoring program is available free this week to channers, coupon code is PEPE. It has been a tremendous help to me and I recommend it highly. You need to know where you're going so you can start taking steps to get there.

good nutrition, cardio, and psychedelics worked for me

Start doing powerlifting or strongman. Lifting a little bit more everyday and being the strongest guy in the gym makes me happy.

Hit the swimming pool and focus on cardio. Preferably take classes that focus on cardio. It's hard to motivate yourself to run more and you slack off. Having a teacher or instructor there with you pushes you more I found.

Bikram yoga is another thing I'd suggest.

Ayahuasca. DMT

Listen to what you sound like. You sound like a fat Jehovah's witnesses

Befriend a black youth

height surgery?

least i don't smell like one
