How did you guys beat depression

Diagnosis, medication and a shrink. Luckily my employer both paid wages while I was down & out and the treatment

Wow, you were quite fortune to have that setup, anon.

>>17999844
Wow I have never even heard of that. What company/job?

>>17999873
Yeah .. I lucked out. For once. Not going to name company. IT - I'm doing hw and sw/driver trouble shooting

Obviously get help. I'd also suggest trying to start a program called "starting strength" at the gym. Working out literally changes your body chemistry and higher muscle mass gives you a higher basal metabolism, so you have more energy overall. But being dedicated and going to the gym is hard as fuck for people even if they aren't depressed, so don't expect that you'll be able to do this without help.

You don't.

And if the endless litany of drug classes do not work, if the cognitive bullshit therapy sessions were a farce, if the dialectical con artist goes tits up - you're fucked.

The local psychs won't even take my fucking number these days.

Not true .. as said in >>17999844 is how I got through it. Phys training (lifting) as well, but that I did/do anyway. That being said, it might not help all get back in the game. Both depression and the medication have lifelong side effects in some cases (like mine), however I would probably have eaten a bullet wo. said help and the first step : realizing something IS wrong

I got a job and tried to get off 4chan's wild ride.

I still come here to shitpost and shit but I don't have the same worldview as the site anymore.

Get a job, get off 4chan and meet real people
