Depression & Anxiety

I know I won't always feel like this, that in all likelihood I'll feel better soon, but what should I do in the meantime? Can Veeky Forums please tell me what to do or read?

the holy bible

I'm not a christian

bump so i don't hurt myself

Not the same guy.
I've been depressed pretty much all my life, I probably have some kind of chemical mess in my brain because there is no other explination.
I lost my faith very early in life, when I was like 8 years old.
However, this last months, sometimes, in my weakest moments (I mean physical pain in my chest while trying to fall sleep) I've started trying to talk with "someone", out of desesperation, and whenever I do it, slowly I start to feel relief.
Maybe you should try it.

Honestly? You're going to hate my advice, but being more and more skeptical and distant from nu-right rhetoric. I used to be like that, around 2010-early 2012ish. I just met new people and realized all the preconcieved conceptions of who they are, were totally different than what was projected here.

I went further and further left, and honestly? It's helped my mental health immeasurably. It's just helped across the board.

There's something about the lifestyle of that, whole community, that's (excuse the sjw phrase) "not healthy". It makes you have a victim complex and once you try to make friends, or just, everything becomes more self destructive. It sets yourself up for an unreasonable idea of self.

This doesn't help, but leftist theory is what really motivated me to keep living. Hating everything and everyone, is more self defeating and depressing.

Scream at me, do what you want. But the bottom line is, believing everyone is evil except for a small community really fucks you up if you buy into it over time. It makes you see everything in that context. Instead of having faith in your peers, and being welcoming.

I met people, and someone I love (cornily), with all my heart, by going further left. And I wouldn't have grown, or did anything really, had I just hated everything and pained things in shades of black and white.

Thanks. I'll try this.

Christianity only makes me more depressed. Slave morality fucks you up, or at least, people like me. I recognize that it's helpful for some people but I grew up Christian and it really really wasn't.

If you're just talking about being politically liberal I already am pretty liberal. Maybe you could explain further what you mean by "leftist?"
