I have crippling depression. Is there really any good reason

kys

>>724694293
Get on some antidepressants lad they'll help and you'll see there is a reason to live. I promise :)

>>724694293
it gets better, been there done that - go to the doctor and try stuff till something works

also eat your broccoli

>Is there really any good reason to live if you have mental illness?

I'm autistic and borderline and no, there isn't

>>724694607
Considering it, mate.
>>724694649
>>724694698
I've been on and off antidepressants for about 10 years and it hasn't made a significant difference in how I feel.

Just a month ago or so my new psychiatrist told me that I'm not really depressed and that I simply have body dysmorphic disorder, which felt like a big fuck you to my face considering that I've been told I have depression for so long.

I don't even know what to believe anymore. No idea what's wrong with me.

>>724694947
What keeps you going, mate?

>>724695241
Honestly mostly a fear of failure and ending up a crippled vegetable being fed from a tube

I was battling depression for a few years. Small everyday rituals is what helped me to overcome it. Also healthy sleep pattern is crucial.

No, there really isn't. Crippling depression for over a decade.

Stop watching porn.
Stop sitting up all night playing video games.
Stop sleeping all day.
Look for a job.
Get plenty of sunlight.
Exercise and eat properly.

Boohoo there is nothing I can do about my depression boohoo please give me medication to mask it.

>>724695637
Have you ever been diagnosed with depression?

>>724695396 i may be bipolar... if i get diagnosed with that i'm killing myself immediately, other than that the only thing that's made me keep going through my depression is just the "hope" that it's gonna get better one day... gay and dumb as fuck but i mean we only get one chance at life - absolutely nothing is gonna happen after death

>>724695743
If you're about to tell me how none of this shit fights depression, don't fucking bother, and try it yourself.

>>724695396

Honestly, I'm just too depressed to even kill myself at this point. I got a fool-proof method (train), but the amount of energy, mental and physical, I'd have to expend to get my fat 400-pound ass down to those tracks on time is fucking exhausting to even consider.

>>724694293
Live to get high and fuck shit up. Don't let it get you!

>>724695637

If you're on 4chan your post is lies. No healthy or sane individual loves this place.

>>724695856
when u say it like that it doesn't really sound much like depression, just laziness... but yea no i relate, i got train tracks by my house, they're really tempting during a panic attack, but to actually kill myself i'd probably need a gun in my hand at the right moment, otherwise it's so........ "extra" to go out of ones way to kill oneself

>>724695962
words to live by...

This thread says the same things my various psychiatrists have been telling me for 15 fucking years.
Me: I'm so depressed I sleep all the time and can't get anything done the few hours a day I'm awake
Them: Well you need to not sleep all the time and you need to do things during the day.
So all I have to do to is all the stuff my depression prevents me from doing? The cure for depression is to just stop having depression? Thanks, you fucking idiots, here's my copay, see you in a week if I haven't killed myself.
My parents are still alive, and, believe it or not, I have a wife. Once the folks are dead and I alienate my wife enough for her to leave me, I'll be able to kill myself. Until then, I have to put up with seeing psychiatrists, psychologists, and shitposting on /b/ during my more lucid moments. If you have the balls for it, OP, off yourself. I don't.

>>724695443
just to add:
my small ritual was going to a swimming pool once per week. In the beginning I literally struggled to get there, but slowly it became my habit and now swimming pool is my safe haven for self-being in my weekly schedule.

>>724694293
No.

This post proves that you're a stupid fucking loser who doesn't want to help themselves.

>>724696333
i wish i could... like... just sit and hang out with you and sesh. ya need something to live for. sell your house and travel with ur wife somewhere nice.. like go on a backpacking adventure! do not keep taking ur meds unless you know they work (triggered a mania for me ;/)

>>724694293
top chips?

>>724695962

This is sound advice.

Seriously though, OP: it never gets better.

There is no one coming to save you.
No one actually cares that you are suffering.
Worse, they don't even notice.

A girlfriend won't cure it (you'll never be attractive enough anyway).
A good friend won't cure it (no one wants to be around someone like you).
Your parents won't help (you are a complete disappointment to them).
Getting a job won't help (why should they hire a liability?).
No therapist will truly care (take this pill and get the fuck outta my office).

OP, there are the little things. they are little, but they are better than nothing. Everyone knows the drugs & alcohol route wont work for you longterm, but they do help a little. Random walks around the block can clear your head temporarily. Enough to get a little energy in you. And a healthier diet. Not necessarily a HEALTHY diet, but just a little less sugar, and a little more protein.

When people say 'take it easy', seriously take it.. easy. Baby steps. It wont go away permanently, but it will get a little less bullshitty. Is bullshitty a word?

He's right you know. I have had major depressive for almost 13 years and tried 6 or 7 SSRIs etc. which had no noticable improvement on my mood. I just started one 3 weeks ago, and I finally found one that works. My mood is super improved, I don't find myself repeating "just kill yourself" in my head constantly.

I'm doing my taxes right now, paying soeme bills, looking for a new job, and reading a book with a smile on my face.

From someone who's been there, just keep trying till you find the one that works.

Not OP, but in a similar situation. Over the last year I've transitioned into a regular sleep schedule, 5 hours/week vidya max, job, 250 calorie deficit, open curtains in room.

Absolutely no mental improvement at all. Although unlike OP, I am not and never have been on any medication to try to help.

It may be controversial, but not only do I refuse to believe, I am actually unable to comprehend how someone who isn't a kissless virgin and was able to attract a woman enough to get her to marry him could have depression. I simply don't believe you.

>>724697618

>>724694293
Making everyone else miserable

First try just to get one task done each morning, make your bed. Then add to it every day, things like showers, dental care. clean house, etc.. A Doctor might help you with medication, but you also need some type of mental health-care. It's a long dark road out of this shit, but you just have to start walking. Also, might have you Doctor see if you could be having some sleep pattern issues. Old fag here, after 10 years of meds, etc, etc, finally found to have narcolepsy, one pill called NuVigil in the morning and I'm awake and trying to make the best of it, best of luck OP and Anons.

>>724694293
Just remember for every sperg memeing "It'll get better there sport!!" there are 10 people happier for killing themselves.

>>724694293

Unless u are broken and raped daily by a homo sexual predator there are reasons to live

>>724698881
Concurred. It's all about sleep dude. I used to think that depression was the reason I slept all day or stayed up all night even though I was tired. You next a strict sleep regimen. A quiet relaxing room. A bed that is designed for your sleep pattern. Will literally change your life in a month.

>>724694293

I was in the same boat, OP. I ended up just doing weed and working out, the two really helps deal with depression and stress.

>>724698260
Okay, I have something I have to admit though. It may be recklessly stupid, but at least I'm being honest. I've been avoiding professional help because I don't want it on my medical record, and more importantly I don't want antidepressants on my medical history.

My parents ended up having 4 kids, and through the "Great Recession" weren't able to afford to help us through college, but still made too much money to qualify for any sort of educational financial aid. We weren't degenerate nigger bottomfeeders, and not wealthy. You know how it is, stuck in that financial grey area.

Anyway, my point is that pretty much my only hope at this point of making it through an education is joining the Air Force or Navy under IT and having the government foot the educational bill with the Post 9/11 GI Bill. The four years of military IT experience as well as the degree would set me on the right path.

Mental problems, professional help, and medication are pretty much automatic disqualifications for military service. I figured if I could deal with enough on my own I could avoid professional help, and PTSD wouldn't really be much of an issue in the "safer" branches of the military such as the Air Force or Navy.

That's where I am now. Still losing a bit more weight to pass the physical stuff to enlist. and dealing with the depression on my own.

>>724698913
"happier" because they we're pussies for ending it all? sure csa abuse vicims might not really see a reason to live but...

>>724694293
I think there is always something that can make someone smile. I mean as fucked up as this place is never fails, I see something somebody says that's fucked up but i laugh and I lose.

>>724699360
They're pussies for ending it just like you were a pussy for exiting the movie theater halfway through Transformers 3. If you're already having a shit time of it, why endure more?

>>724699335
Good luck man.
I can't keep my readjustments up for more than a few days before I automatically just forget about it and go back to my old ways.

However, my sleeping has got a lot better. I never sleep more than 8 hours a night now.

>>724694293

Get help bro it doesn't need to be professional help ask someone you trust and who you know is a good person there is no shame in it

You're not perfect in anyway, your body becomes ill you see a doctor your mind becomes ill who do you turn to?

>>724699975

>>724702121
Except it's not that easy.

How can you possibly understand what being depressed feels like, if you go against every symptom of it?

If you call yourself depressed, but you are able to "snap out of it", then you aren't really depressed. You are just a normal person who had a bit of blues.

>>724701772
yea no i was a bit harsh to the other person... im not used to /b or 4chan in general and their answer juust triggered™ me.

Anyways yeah no i totally get what you're saying, and that's really loving and precious of u. You just need to find something for yourself that makes u happy... best of luck to u sorry for seeming like a total asshole

>>724702485
i've been diagnosed :)

>>724694293
I dont know what to tell you other than that your situation is very unlikely to be hopeless, it just appears that way because your spirits are so low that you see no light in the end of the tunnel.

sometimes the key is to just endure and bide your time, wait until your circumstances are slightly less fucked up or make a small amount of effort to make it less fucked up.

im 24, this time last year I masturbated 4-5 times a day to weird porn, smoked atleast a gram of weed a day, skip forward a year Ive enrolled on an education course, met some cool new people, stopped smoking weed without too much effort, had my first girlfriend etc etc.

you're living a nightmare but nightmares are just as real as dreams. I dunno man, a good reason not to kill yourself is the possibiity of experiancing high points you thought had long since passed you by.

im as fucked up as most of you on here, ive sniffed more panties than I can remember, rubbed my dick on my aunts tooth brush, had a dog lick my asshole, you name it. and now everyone thinks im a normie lol.

if you really wanna kill yourself, its upto you, but the chances are it'll hurt quite abit and you'll be wasting a massive oppurtunity.

>>724702569
by some doctor who probs just wanted u to take pills. Then you're probably diagnosed with a very very mild depression

>I want attention syndrome

It was probably said but I dont want to read the thread
Also OP I have general and social anxiety and take medication for it but really we all know its made up bullshit

ITT "crippling depression" is the new "ADHD"

I've watched my kids go through the stages of trying to mimic and then use these behaviors in order to a) identify themselves as part of a group (as you might "a jock" or "a geek") as well as b) have a go-to excuse to avoid situations necessitating responsibility (e.g. "I can't pay attention in class because ADHD/depression).

It's annoying to watch, but also just a tad entertaining, I'll admit - since daddy here is more internet-aware than most parents of the same age, I observe threads like this and then see the kids exemplify behavior and wording pretty much matching whatever the current trend is (e.g. use of the term "crippling depression" seemingly out of nowhere).

You have to be determined to change your lifestyle. It isn't going to happen over night, so don't just give up immediately. Just keep forcing yourself to do healthier habits, like sleeping/waking up early, eating 3 meals, not looking at 4chan all day to start off with.

what do you wanna know?

we've always been kinda close but I never saw her in a sexual way at all. then one time we were on a family holiday and she bent over in the kitchen to put some laundry in the washing machine and her ass was fucking perfect, round, perky, just so fucking good, ever since then I became fixated with her ass.

she would invite me round to do oddjobs at her house, one time I was painting one of her rooms and I need a paintbrush so she spent about 10 minutes on her knees, bent over with her head in a cuboard and her ass sticking up in the perfect position to get fucked, she was wearing leggings and they were so tight you could see right through them to her panties.

anyway, later that day she left me alone in the house so I just went wild, found her dirty laundry basket in her room, sniffed every pair of used panties I could find, blew a load in her clean panties and put them back so she would notice. before I came I pulled my foreskin back and rubbed the head of my cock with her toothbrush until precum dripped onto it.

long story short ive wanted to fuck my 50-something year old religious divorced 5/10 aunt for around 4 years now, sometimes I fantsize about just raping her and making her cum.

theres more to the story but the rest of the details are probably boring.

>>724696333
You aren't even willing to try and get better. That's the fucking worst part. You have people that care about you and you are treating them like shit. Depression or not, you are a shit person

Shallow Cunt Here:

People with depression and mood disorders have been trying desperately for years to make everyone understand how real these disorders are, and that the symptoms aren't "totally in their head".

I am willing to accept this. I understand. Like when I have a cold, if someone said, "Hey, that runny nose, isn't real, it's in your head." that would be totally fucking retarded....

BUT NO ONE SAYS THAT.

They say "Hey! It's a stuffy nose, a dry throat and it sucks. But you always feel better if you have a shower, get yourself moving, and don't just lay around."

So depression OP...... I believe in your depression and its symptoms, I just want you to stop being a fucking lazy shit, and power through them. Like the rest of the world, with diseases, family members dying, divorces, house stress, kid stress, work stress.. etc fucking etc.

I can say I'm pretty depressed confidently but it comes in waves and I hide it from people decently. Like I could spend a good day or two depressed the entire time but eventually I'd get out of it and be manic for a bit. I say manic because I'm not happy per se, just excitable. I guess that sounds like bipolar disorder.

Nice dubs, also primary reason a lot of people on here are depressed.

Of course you will be depressed hanging on your parents coat tails, not being able to sustain yourself.

Get a job, even a shitty one, save up a few months, and find a place to live. Try to find friends that are looking for roommates, it'll be cheaper and a good experience to get.

Also your parents will like you a lot more, and be more accepting.

>bipolar disorder

Stop it, just stop right now. You don't have bipolar disorder.

People who truly have bipolar disorder do things like drive around in their car, imagining it is the Millenial Falcon, throwing $20 bills out the window to their loyal subjects one day, and then the next can't get out of bed because why.

You're just having mood swings, ones you should learn to deal with now instead of trying to use them to define yourself so that you can fit in with everyone else with "crippling insert-affliction-du-jour-here".

Crashing your car as a teen or young adult (or even beyond that age) is rarely an indicator of mental illness in and of itself.

It is if I blew a 220 in the breathalyzer. The legal limit is 80, they said most people would be hospitalized at that BAC.

Take 3gram of dried shrooms and check in after how you feel.

What if my depression/anxiety causes derealization and it's difficult to leave the house or work?
