Choose to not be depressed

Finding a woman you love. Honestly, empty sex never compares to making love.

Stop being a bitch

Kill yourself.

Disregard dopamine, acquire serotonin.

Be happy

get your blood work done and check for a vitamin d deficiency.

get more vit. D, cut foods that are pro inflammatory. Eat more anti-oxidants. Exercise more. Stop smoking. lower alcohol consumption.

Easy to fix to be honest.

The serotonin hypothesis of depression and anxiety never had a good basis and is mostly considered a misconception.

What a qt

...

Can't tell if she's really tall or the rest of the people are really small.

They're pretty small but she's also tall for a girl, so a bit of both

She's 1m78, so 5'11. But she might be wearing heels too.

yes

...

deny your demons the right to make you sad

I'm out of answers. I just lift my hardest and wait for the next session.

that is based mackenzie davis from halt and catch fire

btw she is flatter than flat chested. she had a lot of scenes with no bra and it's literlly just like nipples on a board

She's also from Blade Runner 2047 where she plays a qt prostitute who fuses with Anna de Armas to form a superwhore.

Actually, a demiwhore, since JOI is pure.

I just got through the first 2 seasons. She looks great as a sticc honestly, I like that redhead chick more though for the eyes. Lee Pace is a perfect example of face/height/frame too in this.

lee pace and his eyebrows are literally chad. and yeah donna the redhead is pretty hot but jesus i hate that mole on her face

I know the feeling. Hopefully you see a therapist already. I would second what other anons have said about gettinf blood test for vitamin deficiency

Vitamin D, and every few days some dark chocolate 73%+ cocoa. You probably have to rewire your reward center too, just getting notifications from your phone fires your dopamine up. We're also raised to not appreciate our successes properly or celebrate our milestones in a healthy way. Imagine how depressed a caveman was until he'd get a kill for a meal or finally get to fuck.

It happens to most of us, user. Don't worry about it, it's very much natural. As someone who has suffered from depression for years, curing is not as easy as saying "lol man up" as some other anons suggest.

This is really good insight.

>and every few days some dark chocolate 73%+ cocoa

why?

>one day I can conquer the world, ask any girl out, ooze confidence
>the next I keep questioning every actions I take, realise im doing fuck all at my internship, dyel, mediocre exam results. She love me?

Straight up listen to the people saying take vitamin D. I was severely depressed almost my entire life until I started taking it a month ago. You're deficient for sure unless you're outside for 6 hours a day in the sun. Impossible to get enough from your diet. Take 1000iu a day with fatty food (IMPORTANT) and ramp that up to 5000 in the winter or 3000 in the summer.

Manlets...
When will they learn

>You probably have to rewire your reward center too

How?

happiness doesn't exist, idiot.

How do I rewire my reward center

Stop spending so much time on the internet. Stop looking at porn. Start spending time with your friends, girlfriend, or family. Depression is out there and is easy to find if you look for it.

For example I spent the last two days reading personal stories on r/adultery and now I'm fucked up in the head think my gf has cheated on me. fucking kill me please.

Realize you're missing God

>ctrl f medication
>nothing

Get some medication op. It's brain chemistry.

find a new job and stop working for the smut industry. Porn is literally a drug meant to turn the modern man into cucks.

The first time I came in a woman I loved I started crying. pretty embarrassing desu.

You have any interesting stories?

Beautiful man. I just wanna fall in love again, hard when i can't even get over my ex, 9 years together.

Time and consistency

Abstain from little pleasures in life while you work hard to improve yourself. Long term rewards are the key.

...

...

why'd she break up with you? Honestly have a woman reject my love is a pretty quick way of me losing all interest in her. I once had a girlfriend who was cheating behind my back I honestly didn't even find her attractive anymore, she just looked like some whore. I miss fucking her body but I never miss her.

I think i need this as well, does Vitamin D hellp with someone who has lower testosterone levels? I got my results back from my doctor and while i''m not critically low or anything I do need to bump it up a bit. I'm also definitely not outside for 6 hours a day so could it perhaps also be a factor?

>I feel the loneliest around my family and friends(happu couples all of then).
I think the trick is to dont mind that it hurt and keep working on yourself. One day you'll realise all the progress you've made and be proud of yourself.

>If you suffer from depression and you feel like your symptoms are worse when you reach ketosis

they are the ones that will always be there for you. You need a support system to fall back on. I was never close to my sister growing up but we've gotten a lot closer now that we're both in our twenties even though she lives on the other side of the US.

Just got dumped by me ex of 5 years. I never thought I'd have to know that feel

Yes it does. Take zinc as well, with a meal.

Seriously man you ARE deficient, and it affects some people's mood more than others'. I wish you the best. Update us!

Complicated, basically got depressed over a long period and did not give her enough attention and love. She is the person i have had the highest love for in my life, hard to shrug off.

true but ofcourse depending on the family situation. My mom was an alcoholic and abusive throughout my childhood and even though I keep my distance today I certainly wouldnt fall back on her for support. Definitely have good relationships with my bros though and they help me out through tough times

I take a multi vitamin and an zinc supplement of 20mgs a day but yet to start the vitamin D. I will definitely give it a whirl though, thanks for the advice user

Cringe

You are me a year ago, user.

He's right, though

Anyone else scared of becoming emotionally dependant? Realised the last two times I was truly happy and I mean cant stop smiling and no worries happy was with women. When I fucked a classmate (we were both dad and drunk) and on a date with a girl I've been having a crush on for a year. I don't want to takeba step back.

>we were both dad and drunk
What did he mean by this?

>Got gf
>go around cute dates eating out, and eating her out
>still lift in the meantime
>notice two weeks later feeling like shit mid workout
>just feeling lazy and slugglish mid sets
>this bitch stole my drive in the gym and made me more hornier instead
>not even half as mad

She had a really feminine dick and big tities

D-does it get better senapai

I have never had strong feelings for anyone so I cant relate. Its just an act for me I guess. Empty hedonism.

Dont write yourself off. You just haven't found a girl worth it

Where do I get started?

Truly it is what you make of it. She crosses my mind from time to time but I don't dwell on it. The most important thing to do is get rid of things that remind you of her and get off social media. Take up new hobbies and make new friends, anything to occupy the time (especially the first few months). Patience is key.

Best thing to do is to get Veeky Forums , really

I have skinny wrists, how do I fix them?
Is it really because of low T, or just genetic?

Also; dont get caught up fuckin sloots or finding a replacement. This is helpful at first but, unless you get extremely lucky, it will only lead to destruction. You haven't been single in years, take the time to enjoy being with your favorite person: you. It wont last forever.

Fuck wrong thread. Sorry

Np bro, multivitamin has nowhere near enough zinc or vitamin d and they tend to use the cheapest and worst sources of zinc.

Make sure you take the vitamin d with something fatty. I can't stress that enough bro. It won't work if u take it without food, and works especially well with cat which prevents the pill from being absorbed in your stomach. Best of luck. I feel fucking amazing now. I'm a changed man.

Woah woah, link to the thread bro, if you don't mind, as I've the same problem.

Boxer pseudoscience says breaking abstinence fucks up your ability. You don't have the tension to push you harder.

> works especially well with cat
What's cat?

Fat, typo

By the way when your depression lifts, remember to buy a Nintendo® Switch™ and a copy of Nintendogs Switch'd™! In stores July 7

I don't own a tv bro cause the government but I'm getting a gaming pc first thing when i get back on my feet

Don't. I'm fuking joking. Pc gaming is the high road to depression

Get help. Actual help, the kind you can't aquire on a Liberian television repair forum.

there is a bit of truth found here. faking it til you make it has some merit in the end, even if it's just part of the solution. act like someone who isn't depressed, and somewhere along the way you will probably get better sooner than someone who just waits until they feel better to start living again.

ok kid. come back when you've lived a bit.

spend less time on the internet. read books more. don't listen to music 24/7. meditate a bit. be productive. it sounds obvious while i type it, but most people do the opposite of this and wonder why nothing feels as good as it used to.

Then why do drugs which affect serotonin like SSRIs work?

The truth is they work but we don't know why. The hypothesis isn't debunked.

Abstain from things like using your phone and masturbation. Essentially you're habitauted to things which should make you feel rewarded. Remove the habitation (long term).

Medication is a last resort. Especially for mental shit.

That's true like the first 10 times until you either realize sex is just another bodily function or you crawl down the kink rabbit hole

Truth, been trying this and overall being a positive good person and it's been working, even after a break up and some betrayal

how old are you and have you ever actually had a gf

They work in

Depends

Its been 2.5 years for me and I was with her almost 3 years. It completely fucked me up, I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about it everyday.
The hardest thing to deal with is knowing you can never fully trust a woman and that they will never truly love you for you. In trying hard to accept I'll be alone forever but it hurts a lot.
I sometimes watch ASMR videos to simulate companionship. I'm pathetic

Would like to know this aswell. Stopped taking methadone 2 months ago but it's hard to actually get excited or find joy in things now. It's even hard for me to feel love at this point. The doc said this will probably last for another 4 months. But god I have this qt gf I'd been wanting for years since 2 weeks, even crushed on, and it's a fun, good relationship but I just can't feel the love while I actuallt really like her and I know she's very infatuated with me.

Guess this is my punishment for being fucked up for 3 years straight.

>Any way to make dopamine and endorphin gains?
Start taking Tyrosine daily.

Holy shit I feel the same way with my bro. What causes this to happen? I didn't talk to my brother at all during my teens but suddenly I have been feeling like hanging round him more.

uh maybe because youve been fucked up on drugs for ages? of course its gonna take time til you can feel like a normal person feels

>electrical engineer graduated top of class 5 years ago
>career going great
>decent lifts, people mirin when I go to the gym
>still suicidal

Here's my journey over the last couple years:
>stop consuming pop culture media/movies - everything these days says "marriage is like jail", "your girl will cheat on you", or is otherwise some completely derivative trash
>stop valuing decadent behaviors - "muh dick" isnt why you should lift, you should lift to make yourself a better and more disciplined person
>stop being degenerate - there is no reason to go fucking around all the time and make fake friends at parties, that adds no value to your life. Make real connections with people and value your friendships.
>value yourself - if you are academically talented and fit like you say, you are one of the few valuable members of society
>stop listening to music/watching movies that promote self hating behaviors - Pink Floyd used to be my favorite band, but as good as they are they depress the fuck out of you. Now I don't listen to them so much
>start listening/watching to aggressive music/movies and music/movies that promotes honorable/dignified behavior - have turned into a metal head and it is great for channeling my anger into a new PR

The above is what took me from suicidal to stable minded. My father recently died slowly and painfully from cancer, that would have shattered me to pieces before. I am now able to cope with hardships much more readily and accept the inevitable shit that life throws at me.

May or may not work for you, but it's better than not trying anything.

If everything else is fine, like you don't drink 4x a week and chain durries like a king or have any active drug addictions, then do try vit D and fish oil.

I decided to try a multivitamin that had decent vit d in it as well as starting to take 2000mg combined EPA and DHA from fish oil a day and jesus fucking christ, I almost feel like I was memeing myself by ignoring this shit before.
