I eat ice cream.

I've come to the realization that everything is basically temporary. Even being depressed is only temporary. Cause the next day you might actually make some progress no matter how small it is and that's still a step in the right direction to being a better person.

>>737160577
This, I was about to off myself just the other day, but just like my every other attempt I decide to hold it off and keep the pain till it fades.

It really is just temporary. Continuous but temporary.

therapy, and group therapy
not always drugs

>>737160261

Cardio. If you jog for 20 minutes a day and work up a sweat, you'll feel significantly better. This is the easiest and best way.

If you work hard enough you can replace depression with exhaustion

>>737160922
This isn't true. I'm exhausted and depressed.
t. someone who's been awake for 18 hours from work.

>>737160803
This. Run. Brain releases endorphins.

Protip: Take a sip of 5hr energy before running.

This sounds like a bullshit answer but honestly you need a change of perspective and you need to force yourself to move on from the things that make you depressed.

Most things are not as big of a deal as they may seem in the moment, and even things that are a big deal WILL heal with time if you let them. It's a chore, but you have to constantly remind yourself that you CAN do it, you CAN be happy, and you WILL.

Look on the bright side
Exercise
DONT USE DRUGS
Talk to close friends or family
Hangout with people that always have positivity

>>737160261
You kill yourself. And livestream it. Been proven to work.

>>737160261
Generally I try to focus on all positive things. Shit gets bad from time to time. You have to remember though, you are alive 1good thing, you are in decent health 2nd good thing etc. I also try to keep a personal mantra or an attitude that keeps me positive. Remember to take care of you and love yourself before you give anyone else your energy. Write a list of good things and your accomplishments and you will see what you have done and what you would like to accomplish. This way it gives you motivation and goals. Good luck OP, life is a journey, take it where you want it to go.

>>737161138
I work out 4 hours a day, long hard run followed by weight training, then all the machines in the gym including legs. Leg day is everyday.

But fuck it doesn't do shit for anxiety or depression. If you truly have it, you have it.

Change your perspective. Use therapy or drugs if you have to/they help. I've dealt with depression my entire life. I remember feeling like life wasnt worth living when I was only 8. Recently, after a harsh breakup, I realized the way I lived didn't help either. I was addicted to drugs to cope with the bad feelings. I talked to a therapist two times and I realized I had to get sober. Then I started taking Lexapro. This helped me be social a little at first but then it wore off and I was just suicidal. I finally told my doctor and he prescribed me wellbutrin which tweaked me out a little at first. I'm very sensitive to stimulants. But I got a tolerance and am able to live with minimal side effects and it has helped me realized how skewed my thinking in the past was. Depression changes the way you think, your mind tricks you. This furthers the depression and makes it so difficult to escape. I hope this helped a little.

Nothing you can do really smoke pot have sex or come too realize bad shit happens everyday to you to everyone the past will never change and their is no such thing as justice the cartoon rick and morty have a good quote Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's going to die,

>>737160803
>>737162136
Forgot this. I also began exercising everyday at my shrink's advice and it really really helps your self esteem. You get a feeling of accomplishment. Set goals, you'll get addicted to the feeling of achievement in the best way possible. I also began playing guitar and learning Russian (I'm Russian ethnically and love history) as well

>>737162136
Ya i have been doing lexapro and i think its bullshit. Im going to stop. I wasnt suicidal i was just disillusioned by this shitty world we live in. No pill is going to fix that. Xanax is the shit though, never gonna give that up im pretty sure. Going through heartbreak after living together five years and she never even spoke the words to me. I hate everybody and everything, but xanax makes me able to act like everything is fine. The only positive of my recent horrible experiences is i am no longer burdened by the human condition/ the atrocities which have become a routine part of the modern world. I used to be so passionate about every injustice and now i can say confidently, i don't care what happens to anybody. I'd say i hope this helps, but i really don't care.

>>737162995
Why are you so sad man? You gotta work through your problems and a lot of times talking helps. I just used acid though.

>>737160261
Studies show excercise is very effective. Runs especially. Go on a 30 minute run and see how you feel. Or start working out and set goals for yourself. Running helps you reasses your goals in your head, also when you achieve "runners high" I don't know if there anything like it

>>737163236
I just said im sad because my bitch ex broke up with me through a text after she fucked me every night that week, even the night before. We lived together five years. Also im my recent history before that i found a corpse, had some asshole try to break into my apartment which violentized me for awhile, then my gf brough bedbugs to our place. Also i grew up being beat by my father who concussed me many times with unexpected fits of rage. I am also sad because i study the human condition closely -climate change, nuclear proliferation, social injustice, and the horrible things humans do to each other. I've seen shit i can't unsee so when i hear your cookies and cream version of reality where i can just "change my perspective", it only makes me more frustrated with how stupid humans are. I am in decent shape, have good to wealthy financial prospects in the immediate future, and many more close friends and family than the average person my age. However, i am still me and that is always a shot of adrenaline or anxiety to others. Also everybody i know that has done acid is much less intelligent than myself or even themselves before doing it. I have avoided it by choice through my entire adult life. Also they banned me for that post because mods are fucking blue pill pussies who can't handle feeling uncomfortable

therapy

>>737165046
Therapy seems like bullshit to me. I tell everybody my reality, how is telling a stranger with a social science degree going to fix anything? In my experience people get into being therapists because they are the biggest headcases around. That social science shit rarely works and i doubt they will be intelligent enough to have any solution for my minefield mind.

weed, clonazepam, quetiapina, sentralina and friends.... after a few moth you can delete the pills

>>737160261
Sunlight, exercise, eating healthy, sex, killing yourself.

>>737165570
do not listen to this guy, weed does nothing for depression. if you've got an addictive personality it will bring nothing more than a bigger spiral of shit in the shit storm of what you think your life really is.

A word of advice for any fellow depressed thinking of doing shrooms. Try to catch yourself numb to any negative thoughts before doing shrooms/lsd/any psychedelics. Mindset can alter any trip.

>>737166993
That wasn't me. I wouldnt say that. Your double digit iq doesn't seem to grasp this, but me saying the human condition is me summing up my college education, as well as further pursuits of knowledge and helping others before i recently gave up on humanity. Your responses only reinforce my new mentality that there is no purpose in helping others. I now get sensation from creating chaos and pain in the lives of strangers such as yourself. Careful who you cross paths with in this fragile mortal realm you are in. Your life isn't much more valuable than a cockroach.

>>737167165
i can guarantee you're a person who doesn't exercise and doesn't leave the house much. if you did, you wouldn't be depressed. simples

>>737160261
By engaging in something meaningful and in activities with people or against them

>>737160922
im not sure i really believe this. maybe occupying your mind 100%? but... eh..

Bjj helps

>>737167680
Im the "human condition guy" and i agree the 38 year old is probably a slob. However, i have felt depressed even when i have been in exceptional shape and financial situations with many close friends. depression is not simple as "just exercise", but it certainly helps.

Get out and actually do things. Depression is worse when you are alone and doing nothing. Just sitting there waiting for sleep to kick in. When you are doing productive things it gradually goes away.

>>737168112
try LSD micro-dosing then. It won't destroy you like antidepressants and benzos, and it's not physically addictive. There's a whole science behind it

>>737168549
Ya it's a very early science which is still inconclusive. I agree antidepressants dont seem useful, but benzos make me feel in absolute control.

>>737168489
not true. getting out and doing shit can help, but doesn't always. it's usually just a distraction, and when you go home you're not distracted and get depressed again. you're better off talking to people you trust and having them help you find ways to improve your life.

Lol. Clearly we won't actually cross paths since you live in a basement. I am one of many who has different thrills than you, which are based on the suffering of others. Many of us work in hospitals. I am not offended by your weak insults, i know i am neither of those things. Also there is no good or bad in this world, it is all relative.

>>737160261
By getting pissed off.

I struggled with finding meaning and purpose in my life. Then I realized everyones life is essentially meaningless, and you create your own purpose through experiencing the world around you and finding what you like. Now I chase my dreams and could give fuck less about other people's opinions and definitions of success, and so can you!

The answer is porn.

Coming from personal experience, you don't defeat depression, you manage it. If you fight it, it will win. If you put yourself on a strict schedule and stay busy with work and things that you enjoy (or used to enjoy), eventually you find that it's easier to live with and get things done. Stick to your schedule 100% and never break it or you will fall back down a slippery slope of waiting for the energy and motivation to do things which will never happen. Depression isn't something you fight just like happiness isn't something you go after. Happiness comes when you aren't reaching after it.

The answer is killing yourself there is no hope.

Exercise, find something to do besides your obligations.

>>737160803
This used to help, until I developed neuropathy to the extent that I can barely exercise anymore. I can't run, lift or even walk for too long. It's really demoralizing watching my fitness fade away.

>>737160261
studies show exercise is just as effective as antidepressants are but also general self improvement helps.
Also also try tripping on mushrooms they have shown to have positive long term effects.

You don't. You let it devour your life until you have nothing left.

Why is Eastern Europe so fucking depressing.

getting fucking laid helps so fucking much. especially if its some fine piece of ass thats payed for.

99% of anons around here would benefit from getting laid, even if its payed for rather than spending money on some shrink.

they say sex isnt important. but it fucking is. you'll realize that people deprived of it begin to fucking go elsewhere to fulfill the need. ive gone 6 years without getting sex and everything tastes terrible, nothing is enjoyed much, ect. i wish hookers were legal in burgerstan. i would rather have hookers legal than marijuana. you cant imagine how many people are deprived of basic love and cant make the cut by going to bars or being social because their mantra energy is depleted. the dudes who get laid regularly can put up a good front to make other girls feel at ease enough for them to drop their guard. its a cycle.

This is such bullshit advice. A few years ago I got super fit and was working out practically every day, including cardio. Still depressed as fuck. Eventually just gave up after about 2 years of this. Exercise is not the cure-all you faggots think it is.

>>737161632
This desu

>>737160577
just remember that it comes down to decision. every chance is a choice and not taking one is a choice in itself. I'm depressive because I regret being lazy and short sighted so I'm trying to make more and bigger choices every day so I can finally make up for why I hit sadness in the first place.

Is it possible to be addicted to marijuana and booze when you're 17

>>737178043
>addicted to marijuana

>>737178043
why wouldn't it be?

I'm in a period of depression right now. I'm between jobs. Staff cried when I was fired. Phone calls of "I love you! We'll hang out soon!" Slowly ghosted by all. I have no friends. I don't enjoy video games anymore. I hate people too much to go to bars to make friends. What do I do? Find a distraction? Then what?

Thing is... yeah. My life reset so many times that it stupidly made me too strong and prideful to consider suicide anymore. So, I'm trapped. But... Just like any illness or whatever else... it goes away eventually. I'll get into a groove with another job at some point, probably start doing open mics, maybe join a D&D group... maybe start using voice chat in Overwatch and get some social fulfillment through that. Who knows? But yeah, depression is temporary, too. Going for a walk and listening to a podcast does help, too. The body wakes up. I'm often exhausted and full of energy at the same time. Mind is awake, but body isn't. Go walk around.

>>737160261
Right now I'm feeling like fapping. That usually helps shut my mind off shit for a bit. Of course I will feel shit again the next day anyways.

>>737178608
You find a distraction convincing enough to make you not contemplate the harsh truths about life
That's what everyone does

i studied Buddhist philosophy and read lots of other philosophy, like Meditations by Aurelius. depression usually is caused by your view of the world and how you interpret it. if you can realize this and attempt to correct it, you'll feel much better.

i never felt like the "it's a disease" thing held up to scrutiny simply because most of the depression in the world is in first world countries, which makes no sense. i'm not saying there aren't cases out there caused by medical reasons, but the problems seem to stem with our society and culture, not necessarily with medical basis.

You have to understand they are only thoughts...
