How do you faggots deal with depression?

>>723754116
Hahahah
NAAAAAAAAAW

Medication, good diet, vigorous exercise & stretching daily, good sleep.

I stand up

compulsive internet addiction and fapping

>>723754116

Alcohol

This may sound counter intuitive but avoid marijuana, alcohol, and cigarettes. They provide very short-term relief and actually will exacerbate your symptoms.

This guy has never had depression that'ss the only reason he would ever thing diet and exercise would help.

drink a bunch of rum. then realize i drink too much rum. sober up for a couple of days. realize i need to start doing something. the thought of me not doing anything weights on me and i realize there is no meaning to life and there's not real point in doing anything. something bad happens in my life, no matter how small. i start drinking again.

I see dysthymia in your future. Welcome to the club.

8%THC and 8%CBD cannabis as an edible. Excercise. Spending time doing shit that makes me feel rewarded and valuable. Occasional Klonopin if my anx is wicked and can't sleep or bugging out.

>>723754116

daily

Therapy.
Get older, get wiser, invest in yourself, play with you peepee

Everyone who mentioned drugs or alcohol is effectively saying

"lol just run away from it"

>>723755730
Pretty much.

Only way to start to help is a good therapist.. And you are gonna go through a few for the right one.

>>723755730
Everyone who says, exercise, sleep, diet or anything other then drugs has never had depression. They might of been sad or temporarily depressed, but they have never dealt with a systemic depression issue.

How does one even define depression. I mean at what point does typical sadness turn into full blown depression.

And answers like, "You just know," aren't helpful. I feel like I've been depressed, but never saw a doctor or anything, so how would I even fucking know.

I don't want to label myself as anything when I could be completely wrong and devaluing people who truly do suffer.

I don't. And that's why I'm a vicious drug addict

>>723755615

Therapy never worked for me and I started back in 1985. I finally found a good neuropharmacologist and she tuned me up with the right meds.

>>723756031

you're objectively wrong
i've had serious depression for roughly 10 years
one suicide attempt
time spent in a mental ward
was on anti-depressants for three years but hated the side effects so i stopped taking them (coming off them was horrendous)
i fixed my shitty diet and started banging out pushups and lifting weights
i wish i'd discovered exercise when i was younger
change what you are putting into your body and make yourself work out. it changes your whole consciousness
i'm not saying i am totally over depression. i have bouts of it and it's something i have to stay on top of.
but diet and exercise are the two things that have helped me more than anything else

anyone with depression reading this: if you've never tried working out and you know your diet is shit, change it right now.
i know it feels like it will have no effect whatsoever on you, but just trust me, it WILL help
when you start exercising you won't want to stop. your confidence will shoot through the roof.

>>723754116
I do stuff that i like to do.
I try and distract myself.
I cry multiple times a day, every day, sometimes for hours a day at night. I get thru it. Asmr helps me, background noise like rainymood helps. Eating helps. Fapping etc etc.
And most importantly is i accept how i feel and i know how i feel at the time will pass (like sucidal thoughts)
And ive learned to enjoy and appreciate little things in life and not material possessions

>>723754116
I went full circle; decided nothing was worth living for, contemplated suicide constantly, took time off from school and work, then I realized I can just do whatever feels rewarding from now on because I'd rather be dead anyway.

I stop being depressed and start being awesome instead.

Get a copy of the DSMV and do some reading. There is a pdf on the interwebz so you don't have to spend $150 for a hard copy.

Contemplate suicide, that usually brings a bit of comfort.

I quit smoking weed and to be honest that helped.

>if you've never tried working out and you know your diet is shit, change it right now.

My diet is excellent. However, I have zero motivation to do anything like exercising. I haven't found the right pill to fix this.

Effexor and puss

honestly it can be tough but realize how quickly it can change - sometimes i get depressed because im happy, its stupid as fuck. 9 times out of 10 i look back at those times and im like fuck that was nothing, nothing (insert random ass shit im going through) compares to this tho.. blah blah. its like a lame pity party, use it as motivation to better yourself and your life. Not in some huge way, im talking about the little shit. Work on yourself and each little milestone will be currency for motivation later. also just be sad or depressed sometimes, it can be cathartic if you step away from it all and perfectly fucking normal - this is shit we all deal with and learn to deal with. reflect and work towards what will make you happy - goals, money, family whatever

>>723754778
This and alcohol

>>723754116
Too busy to be depressed. When I get time to contemplate I'm always happy I have free time to do what I like.

Depression sucks, but Prozac exists if you have a chemical imbalance.

what i learned about depression and how i dealt with it.

pretty simple i was being super unhealthy in school which lead to me failing which caused a downward spiral i went insane over. lived off three hours of sleep. read 6 chapters a day and learned nothing was incredibly ineffecient and neurotic to the point i would lay in bed on my off days till 2 pm, pay vidya till 4 am then fall asleep just to repeat the cycle. i would lay there and think to myself if only i had the balls to lock and seal a lab room and fill it with cl gas or helium or anything i could leave this world and deal with the consequences of the next one. the only thing stopping me was the thought of my gf killing herself and also that i was to much of a pussy to do it irl. in the end i could have stayed but i left and i dont regret it one bit. im healthy i run, i work out, i have a group of people who work for me that actually respond and work perfectly with me. and it all started when i got a job just doing something that forced me to care about someone else and force me to love or lose a job paying 15 and hour. After making the marine decision i felt like i controlled my own fate and took it in my hands. i took a new job, proved myself capable and strong and was promoted within 4 months of working there. i know joining the marines is to give up alot of y rights and priviliges but i hope to continue to serve and work with others all while bettering myself.

to anyone depressed, stop doing what makes you depressed and just take a stab in the dark in a new direction. find a job that will force you to learn new skills or just hit the gym at home or away. you om your own rut and take the reigns of your future from your minds own warden.

tl;dr read it all faggot but in short i was lethargic at best depressed at worst and i did a course change into a better life of working and creating managable goals.

sauce on those jugs OP pls

>>723755054
>you can drink coagulated blood.

Like 2 or 3 days a week I'll randomly go for a 5-10 mile hike in the woods. There are a lot of trails near me. If it ever hits hard I try to hike or run or work out until I'm too tired to think about it. Surprisingly..still fat.

>>723754116
Porn, Internet Addiction. Also, school

realize how lucky you are - you are part of the 0.000001 percent of life on this planet that can legit do nothing but try to make your life better if you choose to. Embrace being a human and go watch those survival videos on youtube and go live in the forest cause thats a dece plan b..im baked but you know what im sayin

Personally, I set goals, big yet reachable goals. That involves exercise and the right music. Usually the goal is I recognize I'm depressed, and I need to fix it with love for my older self, hatred for my depressed self. The goal is to bring the other me back in a new form, and I do it by getting very fit, muscular, religious, and overall determined. I then go from a skinny fuck to very toned and healthy, and I feel better as I get better. I end up becoming a wiser, more emotionally considerate person while enjoying a healthier me. It's not easy though, it takes commitment and you better commit like a motherfucker in order to beat it.

>>723758565

Keep at it. But if it doesn't work out or the side effects are bad, get your Dr to change up your meds. It took me years to get mine nailed down.

>>723754973

> stop masturbating to porn
> get enough sleep
> wake up at the same time every day
> go for morning walk in sunlight

Pretty much kept all my other slovenly habits the same and life's good. If you can find it in you for just a little bit of self-interested discipline shit starts to build on itself.

My doc is switching me to wellbutrin

Well up until now it's been booze, but recently I've been feeling sick because of it and have started to have real hangovers.

So yeah. Fuck life.

Really, I'm very susceptible to changes in my mindset at a moment's notice. Often going in and out of depressive states. Which may sound good to someone who just has long-lasting depression, but it's really not. It just gives me false hopes and a fake sense of meaning, that will inevitably be crushed.

Meh.

Oke i am going to give it too you straight.
You are masturbating way to much, /b is flooded with porn.
Nothing but lonely losers ejaculating excessively, destroying their testosterone levels.
Our only weakness , porn.
After ejaculation you are calmed you are made docile and lose all motivation.
This needs to stop, this is the reason our birth rates dwindle.
This is the reason why /b turned weak , we are all contempt wankers, drained of our manly juices that makes us /b.
We let our guard down now tumbler and reddit have grown in numbers ,they made us weak with this infection of porn.
It is time we put our sperm in nothing but jars or women, no more little swimmers waisted on webm`s.
No more ejaculation unless it is for the cause of /b.
It is time for discipline, It is time we make /b great again, It its time we stop masturbating with out a cause.
/b unite ,Abstain , Return to your natural form of frustration, hate, contempt and anger.

Your mission , no masturbation for 9 days too reach the maximum amount of testosterone in your system.
This will also flush the build up oestrogen out of your system and reduce your bitch tits.

Do not watch any porn.
Sexual stimulus causes the prostate to produce prostate fluid that over time becomes a carcinogen.

If you roll dubs or higher in this thread you get a 7/10 gf, trips gives you a 7,5/10 gf etc.
If you already have a gf you get a second one.

how is depression real lmao just walk away from your brain
