i just start small and work my way up to the day.
sit up in bed. turn light on. sit on edge of bed. etc.
once I'm moving i feel better.
exercise more and drink more water too. this helps

>>716440071
medication
you'll stop feeling empty...

or you can just an hero like all the other faggots here

All you can do is wait it out pal. Before you know it you'll be feeling better looking back thinking gee whiz why was I so depressed? But I've been through it too. Quit smoking weed if you're doing that too. Seems so real when it's happening to you. Hang in there bud. Suicide won't help. The universe will fuck you someway I'm pretty sure if you kill yourself

I quit anti-depressants.
Started them at about age 20.
29 now... quit them cold turkey 6 weeks ago, never felt so amazing in a decade... can't explain how, it just worked.
Last night was out and loads of mates that were out also said I seemed like I'd found a love for life again... and I have.

for the past year to battle my depression ive been dosing with between 5-10 grams of shrooms every week or so, haven't had "suicidal depression" since my first major trip watching Spider man 1&2 (toby one)
must add that i think that the movie had alot to do with it and after a year of weekly tripping whilst watching all the classic tripper movies, nothing has had such an effect.

>>716440558
This, as well as eating better food.
Fuck off all processed foods.
Eat more green vegetables.
Get more sun on your skin.

dude. ask for professional help. obviously you went through a tramatic childhood and never recovered. only a therapist can show you the ways to think out you depression.

Mine just diminished. I was suicidal from age 7 to my mid or late 20s. Mid thirties now, and life is okay. Good income, pretty young wife, house and three vacations a year. Still depressed, but haven't wanted to die in some years.

>>716440071
What worked for me is I stopped doing things for any reason other than It was what I wanted. Really look at why you are doing what you do. Fuck everybody else it's your life my dude. And stop getting mad at yourself for fucking up/not improving. Baby steps, even realizing you want to change is huge. Disappointment with progress will only make positive action seem more futile. Also Merry Christmas

Go to the doctor. They'll give you medication to deal with the symptoms.
Go to a therapist. They'll help you deal with why you feel like this.

Had depression problems most of my life.

Ever had the flu, anon? Depression is like that. It sucks really hard, and it feels like you'll never get better, but if it doesn't kill you then eventually things do get better.

The other thing that helped were the old Greek and Roman Stoic philosophers. Seneca, Epictetus, M. Aurelius, etc.

You are weak and pathetic. I would recommend just giving up like the little needy bitch you are. Let me be the first to tell you this, things are gonna get a lit worse, and if you can't cope with it you deserve to off yourself and stop taking up extra oxygen. Kill yourself, nobody will care.

Studies have shown that a rectangle has 4 edges, as a 2 dimensional figure. But, what if, it was possible to fit more edge in?
Hey, Michael, Vsauce here and today we're going to be talking geometry. It is a known fact that such geometric figures contain certain amounts of features like edges, vertices, angles, etc. However, facts can change as science progresses. Let's look at the image board site 4chan for new evidence and perspective.
On 4chan, posts are placed into rectangular boxes which can contain text, images, or both. Yet here, these "facts" of geometry tend to bend. In a single rectangle, it can be possible to find 0 edges or up to billions of edges! But how does this work? How can these facts change?

>>716446426
The weak don't deseve to live. They're a strain to normal people. You can try to hide all you want through layers of irony to try to deflect the conversation, but deep down we all know that he's not gonna get better and should end it already. Do it op, the sweet release of death will be like nothing you've experienced before.

Meds help. They're a crutch, but you'd use a crutch if you broke your leg, right? They take the weight of so your mind can heal.

>>716440071
If its that bad you need a doctor.

Your brain is a computer. If happiness and motivation are things you just dont have, period, and no amount of work or effort fixes it, its broken.

You need CBT and/or medication.

It is that simple.

And dont "wahh drugs bad" me. All the big pharma garbage made people stupid. Thats like saying humans dont actually need water because nestle wants to privatize it. Its just proof nestle are assholes not that its not a real, scientifically understood thing that medical experts recommend despite the advice of judgemental stay at home faggots with access to infowars.

I traded my sanity for happiness
I go through bouts of depression now and again, and was particularly bad for a few months. I started working out and that helped enough for me to just deal with it head on and literally reject depression. Try going for a run everyday, if that doesn't work, seek professional help

Again, Pay attention to what you're doing here. You're hiding behind your edgelord memes and absolutely ignoring all points presented. This is worse then shills generic, le evil white man xd i bet u r redneck and are racist xd meme. This only gives me further proof that people on 4chan are different side of the same coin with sjw. You cannot tell op for sure that all is gonna be ok, and life is gonna get better because you don't know that. Chances are op will get much worst before unless he stops being a little bitch and toughens the fuck up.

Homie. Youre good. I tried a lot of things. Kratom by far helped the most. Take it once every few days. The sense of wellbeing youll feel will last a week or so. Its good. Also try noopept. Its a mental accuity booster for Alzheimer's but it works really well for helping you straighten out your mind.

Nonsense. Medication is designed to help. And it did. And if it didn't, then my doctor would have tried another type of anti depressant.
Trying to deal with it yourself is not a viable option as you're not not medically trained or psychologically trained and no amount of googling can make up for that.

Don't listen to this hippie faggot. Being depressed is not a disease, but rather a reaction to things not going the way you want them to. It's like a wake up call forcing you to either change or feel like shit. My advice would be, stop being a pussy, toughen the fuck up and make some fucking changes in your life. Either that or kys.

Its defs a disease but Kratom is gr8 even if you dont have problems.

I was on wellbutrin and buspirone and those drugs were horrifying let me tell you. They kinda just made me not scared of anything. I wasnt a brighter person or even better at all. I just wasnt scared anymore. I hit a dear with my car and i didnt even swerve or blink. I just weny and picked up my mirror and left. Didnt even look at the deer. Calmest ive ever been.

I met the love of my life and now I still have depressive episodes but life in general is a million times better

Im no one special either, just pure luck

I told myself that logically if theres a chance of the future being better its more useful to focus on that and more intelligent to wait for that than end al chances

Statistically if youre not 70 you have too many years to not find happiness

Sometimes, you also need to let go

Have depression seriously bad, completely ruined my life trying to keep up the facade that everything was going well but I just broke behind the mask. Had a breakdown eventually, cried for 3 days straight. Just cried until passed out, came to and cried until passed out again. 3rd day just stopped. Got some food in me, had a shower and phoned the doctors. Counselling did sod all for me, but that's probably due to my past, so I'd still recommend it to anyone. I started to volunteer at a youth centre, helped out at a charity shop, saw many new faces, met an old lady who I found I could talk to freely. Talking to her helped me out immensely, and the work got me out of bed every day because people depended on me. Now have a proper paid job, fiancée, a future.

Tldr
Volunteer somewhere, meet people, force a smile. Motivation will come and your fake smile will become less fake. Talk to someone you feel safe with who listens. Life does improve.

Oh, and try not to keep it all bottled up, or you will break down spectacularly.

>how many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb?

i wake up everyday, i dont think about it i just do it. i dont tell myself things will get better, i get ready and try to make them better. I go to work and try my very best, i talk to people and listen to people, i work out, eat right, help those who look like they need it. i dont run from the sadness. its there all the time, not just for me and you op but for everyone. we simply distract ourselves as best we can from it, we learn to take joy in the little things in life when possible, dont dwell on the unpleasant things, dont worry about things you cant fix. either learn to accept and adapt or change that what makes you unhappy. its hard but not as hard as living the way you are right now.
>just one but the light bulb has to want to change

I'm going through it too. I have severe OCD and every little thing causes a panic attack. Not fun.

Start with your hygeine. Shower atleast every other day and brush your teeth atleast daily. Always wear clean clothes. Get a haircut that doesn't make you look retarded. Find a job or if you already have one, now go to it with confidence, even if it's fake. Have confidence that you're well groomed and you're doing a good job taking care of yourself. Next work on your eating and try to fill your nutritional needs instead of only getting what you crave. Go to the gym if you're /fit/ . I did this and it really helped. I'd focus on those things and my job and then I felt much more capable of accomplishing things. Waking up is a lot easier when you weren't thinking about suicide before falling asleep.

with a psychiatrist/psychologist: CBT, SSRIs
with a psychologist: MBCT, conversational therapy
things you can do on your own: exercise, healthy diet, going out more/making new friends/meeting people, mindfulness

also maybe shrooms, but it depends, could work out great for you, could also just give you a horrible trip.

Its simple get out and better yourself. Stop sitting at home moping about only thinking about how sad you are, do literally anything

you know what's worst than depression?

anxiety

>anxiety because you left college and you are 30yo with skills or experience to get a job
>anxiety that your mom and dad are getting old and you won't be able to support them while they are old
>anxiety that you are too old to do anything new o study anything
>anxiety that you are too old to safe money for when you are old
>anxiety that you keep fucking up and you don't do anything to solve it

anxiety aside, if you can, seek professional help and follow what they give to you (medication, theraphy, etc). If mental health is free in your country, good for you, if not, try to save a little money and use it to heal yourself.

If you are less than 30yo, you have time, don't fuck it up.
