How do intellectuals get over depression?

At least you still have your parents.
My father have cancer and it's killing me everyday from the inside.

Accept your emotions for what they are and you may find an inner peace that lies below all others

Why don't you have friends or a gf? Surely there are other intellectuals you could socialize with?

Also if it is actually depression you can't just get over it, it is an alteration of brain chemistry. Exercising more and meditation personally helped me cope when I was dealing with it - but coping or mitigating its effects are basically all you can do until it winds itself out, usually after some large event (graduation/moving/etc)

Dude stfu I have no family and have been homeless for 3 years. 4 hour bus ride to methadone clinic everyday and no friends. Sleep outside in colorado in the winter. Going to loose digits this winter. You don't have it bad I PROMISE.

If you see depression as the result of rationality then the logical pragmatic conclusion is to see that this rationality is not serving to your benefit. Nothing good is coming from you being depressed so why force this moral code of absolute rationality upon yourself? Rationality can be useful for many things but it doesn't have to be the be-all end-all for every single thing you do in life. Ignore the parts that don't serve your needs and follow the parts that do.

You have different shit to deal with then. For this user, it's his head not working quite right and making him feel bad.

>no gf
I'm too insecure to try dating or dating apps
Most people say I'm attractive but it usually goes wrong when I start talking to people

>no frineds
Bullying when I started school socially crippled me and I probably have a hard time making and keeping friends for the same reason I have no gf.

Self improvement. Eat healthy. Rest well. Get plenty of exercise. Get enough sunlight. Socialise more. Get a hobby you care about. Look after yourself.

Every intellectual should be depressed to an extent, how could you not be? It's a package deal man.
