How do I scientifically escape my crippling depression? I have no motivation to work on my research...

POSITIVE CHANGES
Exercise every day
Meditate every day
Fap or have sex every day
Socialize as much as possible (you have to enjoy it, if you're not feeling happy then you need new friends)

NEGATIVE CHANGES
Exit abusive relationships (easier said than done)
Don't do drugs or drink. Alcohol and cannabis are both known to cause depression in high doses. Hard drugs will fuck your life up just because they take too much time and are too neurotoxic

>fap
>positive

no

Whenever you think of a respectable man, what character traits come to mind?
Okay, good. Now spend the rest of your life trying to become a respectable man.

It is the only goal that you can achieve no matter what terrible curve balls life throws at you. See, happiness is transient and hard to define. Respect isn't. Work your ass off, do things you don't want to do. Your depression will leave.

You dumbass, fapping is something you add to your routine. Therefore positive

YOU FUCKING TWAT, THE OUTCOME OF FAPPING EVERY SINGLE DAY IS NOT POSITIVE.

>having a repressed sexuality
what is wrong with you people
christchan?

nah brah, but it fucks up your brain and after a while you feel no pleasure unless you go deeper into the fetish depths.

Get your testosterone testes, as well as your estrogen at a proper men's clinic.
Lift heavy weight.
Run regularly.
Eat more steak and eggs, and cut out all refined carbohydrates/sugar
Work hard physically during the day- find something to do. You will know if you have succeeded because you will hit the pillow like a log.
Take iodine as a supplement to regulate hormone production. Research Iodine and Depression. Iodine is central to the correct functioning of the Thyroid.
A lack of sufficient iodine results in symptoms that mimic manic depression.

You have a hormonal issue OP, which masquerades as a mental issue. Get your fucking hormones in check by taking iodine each day, and supplementing with Testosterone if need be. Also follow the rest of this advice. Thank me later.

Praise Jesus Christ.

>Depression without an identifiable cause is often rooted in narcissism.
How do people come up with this bs and state it as fact?

dumb.
