Depression

nice, u live in the developed world. swiss here btw.
the right meds are the first step. if you find them, it builds the foundation for everything else

Have you even look up prices? Some psychiatrist will negotiate a price in clinics or even give you free sessions. Just go search around or visit your college too.

Talk to people in your class, bring up things you like and listen to what they say and reply to what they say. Profit ??

Also you have to help yourself even though it's extremely hard, you need to get a psychiatrist, make that your short term life goal.

did you make any moves or did you just waited for her to escalate the situation?

had fever that evening so i thought its better to not infect her by kissing..
i should have done it now that i look back at it

In order of what you should try:
>improve lifestyle to reduce the trigger for depression
>therapy
>drugs

Drugs should always be a final solution, as antidepressants have side effects and can change your personality while on them.
They are only a bandaid over the problem which will require therapy or lifestyle change to eliminate.

Does your uni have conselling services?
Not sure how your univ health care works, but that's often a service schools provide for free. Though the difference is that counsellors are probably psychologists instead of psychiatrists, and the former can't prescribe you meds.

you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about.
drugs most often give the possibility to even change something. also not every depression is caused by lifestyle choices or enviromental factors.

yeah my uni actually has one but I just started there and don't wanna mess up

avoid the slimy jew doctors
into buddhism

>antidepressants can change your personality

for god's sake from where do you get your information, the local shaman? that's bullshit

I heard people saying mushrooms might help. My depression is mostly around "meaning in life" so maybe this is something I might try. I don't have to travel far, I live near amsterdam.

Dear god this is a double edged sword, it might work, or he might get a bad trip and end up even more fucked up.

sure, do some drugs to treat a psychiatric disorder

...are you brain damaged?

While that is true, antidepressants are usually used for mitigation instead of as cures. Therapy helps, m'breh.

>you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about.
shill

You will if you don't do something about it. I only got help when I was already neck-deep in shit. Would not recommend.

Depends on how the drugs work on you. They could alter your state of consciousness and affect how you interact with the rest of the world. Oh, different user btw

This is my first time in both my PC or this site in weeks. I wanna share some thoughts.

>Get off your PC

I use a normie tablet now and you'd be suprised how much less you browse meaningless or strange shit. And use it around people, not shut away in your room, even if thats just sitting with your family.

>No more porn

Same as first point, you wont watch it as much if you use your phone to browse the internet.

If you can't fap to your imagination then you dont need a fap.

>Cut out /pol/, /r9k/ and other "redpill" cancer.

Dont even look at those boards, even if you don't take it seriously. You have no idea how much that shit will skew your thinking and alienate you from your peer group.

If you do believe in that shit, as I once did, then God help you.

>some form of cardio to clear your head

Walking, running, cycling whatever. Do it separate from your lifting, outside in the fresh air, through the nicer parts of your city.

>Good sleeping routine

Get up and go to be early every day. Never be rushing out the door in the mornings.

>get showered and put on fresh clean clothes that you feel good in every day

Even if you think you haven't anywhere to go.

>If NEET try and get out of the house and socialise with a stranger at least once a day

>Cut out "woe is me" thinking and blaming the world for your problems.

Probably the hardest one for me. Yeah most of us here have had pretty shit lives. But dwelling on it will only make it worse. Trust me.

And seriously, get of your PC and this fucking site.

>drugs don't change your personality
That...that's why you take the drugs.
These drugs are designed to forcefully change your personality.
And we're still figuring out the long term damage it does to the mind and body.
There's no telling how badly we've fucked the last fucking generation by forcefeeding them baby meth and prozac.

lmao the more depressed I get, the better my gym stats
Learn to channel your feelings towards activities. Learn an instrument, draw, read philosophy, write poetry, lift heavy, treat your body as a greek statue and use gym to achieve dat dere Michaellangelo's aesthetics.

no, I'm depressed so technically yes.

>working night shifts
Is there a bigger hell than this? Staying up until 2:00 am and waking up at 7:00 am for class is killing me. I'm tired all the time, even after a nap. Getting pretty close to quitting, I've asked for earlier hours but my managers don't care

A lot of this advice is great, I agree with most to all of it, but it can be seriously hard for a depressed individual.

>Get off your PC

This depends on OP, he might use his PC as escapism like a lot of people do, but if he does feel better I don't see a reason he cannot keep using it.

>No more porn

This as stupid as it sounds, actually works.

I have done it when I was depressed, I was at week two and was feeling much better, I would suggest doing it only if you really want to.

>Redpill

I really do agree with this, don't listen do most of that shit, especially the woman generalization.

Some of it's good, I mean like 1% of it, it's the part of self improvement, that's it.

>Cardio

Yep I agree

>Good sleeping routine

Super important.

>get showered and put on fresh clean clothes that you feel good in every day

I don't do much but study every day for when I start college, yet I always shower / do my hair, getting in the habit of it is a must.

>Blaming the world for your problems.

I used to do this, but you have to accept for yourself for who you are, you're depressed? Get medicated, overweight? Lose that weight, the world is not going to help you, you need to help yourself.

>PC and this fucking site.

I just suggest getting off /pol/, /b/, they're really not healthy for you when you're depressed.

1. I'm a CS student, so this won't really work for me but I will cut down on social media and random internet stuff.
2. This is hard for me because I'm horny all the time I see a pic of any girl on the internet. Problem can be solved for me if I just cut down on these sites.
3. last time I was on /pol/ was after trump got elected because of the lulz. I only use Veeky Forums, Veeky Forums and /mu/
4. I try to implement running in the morning before uni. I think meditation might be good aswell.
5. This is the hardest for me, I can't sleep when I'm not tired.
6. just started doing that couple of weeks ago, feels great..also cold showers in the morning helped me.
7. not a neet
8. I don't blame the world, I always blame myself for being to weak
