how do you beat depression ?

>>737670696
anti-depressants

>>737670696
You don't. You just adapt and learn to live with it. Try going to bed early. Cuz once 3am rolls around you'll want to cry

Prozac

>>737670696
Change your eating habits to something healthy and add things to your schedule that force you to go outside and/or socialize.

>>737670831
I'm the opposite . Feel at worse in the morning and great at night. Been on mirap for about 8 months but I stopped taking them last week as they were fucking my shit up

Then "Authentic Happiness"
Apply their ideas, boom.

Quit being a pussy and man up. Everyone gets depressed. Job, bills, kids, nagging wife, shitty family, etc....

Find something you enjoy and do it. Fishing, drinking, sports, TV, whatever

keep your mind focused on other stuff

learn a language, learn something, keep your mind active, keep fit

the key is keep your mind focused on something and make a routine of it. eat a lot of healthy stuff and jog every now and then

>>737671197
something tells me OP isnt really depressed just sad he cant get laid

>>737671334
no i paid a doctor to get me a prescription to correct chemical imbalances so i don't think about dying every waking moment of the day

exercise (releases endorphins), sex (same), healthy eating, set (manageable!) goals and achieve them each day, so you dont feel like you're not managing - even if the goal was "get up, get dressed, and a shave", that's better than just being a lump in pyjamas and stubble.

and most importantly, talk to a doctor about antidepressants too. Depression can be circumstances - your not getting laid, you cant find a job, etc, but it can also be a medical condition, the wrong balance of chemicals in the brain. correcting those with a drug may be the only answer, and should be one that you should never be ashamed of seeking aid for.

>>737671471

Are you a doctor? You should be. That's the smartest thing that will be posted in this entire thread

Depression is a beast. Sometimes it goes to sleep and you feel alright for a few days, sometimes it wrecks your shit just because. Learn to recognize it and realize it's just that asshole depression showing up again and maybe life isn't actually as shitty as it feels right now. If feel like you need meds to help with it then go talk to your doctor about it. As much as I can say "learn to deal with it" that's not always going to work out. If you need help get help.

hello ! let me first start with telling you, never ever use anti-depressants. they may work fore a little while but they can make things worse.. i suffered from depression when i was 12 years old and it stopped for me at age 20. i could have helped my self alot sooner, but i didnt know that what i was feeling was depression until i was prob 19 yro. i had good friends, a gf i have been with for 9 years, money to have fun with, no real reaso to be depressed. but when i found out that this dark heay feeling i always had was diagnosis, i changed my life style and tht is the only thing that works, 1 you need to change your diet, does not have 2 be insanely healthy, but every meal should have protein, and vegetables. you may poor souce over or something so it tastes good, the important part is not eating junk. 2. you need to work out at least 4 times a week. not to get fit just to work ! getting fitt is just a bonus. 3. you must walk in nature at least 10 min a day. it realy is that simple. your body and mind is not designed for sitting all day inside 4 walls. or eating shit, and 5 you need to meditate 10 min a day. it stopps the ugly voices in your head. last but not least the most important part, you HAVE to do all this reaguarly, it wont work after a couple of times it needs to beyour rutine, and i promise it will help. talking fro experience so i feel your pain. i promise you when you have put the time and effort in doing this long term you will love your life :)

1) make sure it really is a type of depression and you're not just surrounded by assholes.

2) see your primary care physician for a definitive diagnosis. Be completely honest with your doctor. Medications can only work if there's a problem with your neurotransmitters; if not, the side effects are brutal (see; mass shootings, suicides). If medicated, go for the lowest dose and adjust it later on with your doctor.

3) take up weights and cardio. Be sure to sleep enough.

4) become more social when you feel better - not when you feel comfortable.

5) list accomplishments; make a bucket list - some things to look forward to.

6) go to church and work on your relationship with God.

7) get a degree in your field. Work on advancement.

8) when this is all done, women will find you more interesting. Stop masturbating - it's not sex or self love, it's self-harm.

have more i want to ad, you are much stronger then u think, always remember, the voice in your head talking shit, is not you. i remember 2 yrs ago i was so tired of feeling deppresed, said to my self, why the fuck wont you just end it and be over with. but i didnt i realised that the voice in my head is not me, he is a lil bitch, YOU are in controll, you dont need a doctor or help from anyone but yourself. i know its hard but i promise you its worth it. i friggin love my life now..

When you're depressed you lose your appetite how are supposed to eat healthy food when you don't even have interest for the junk food you love?
Seeing all people around you happily enjoying their lives with people who care about them while you are trying to hide your mental illness and act normal is supposed to make you happy?

>>737670696

You don't beat it, you learn to live with it. It's always there, like a room in your house. Don't be scared of it. It's just a part of being alive.

how do you know if your depressed? i don't ever feel sad but feel like im not as enthusiastic about things as I used to be. also i feel like im not as smart and can't think as well as before.

does depression only mean you feel sad?

Work out. Go into winter strong and keep it going. I have extreme depression and it's all that "fixes" it.

>>737673592
The whole point of it is to change habits. Sitting around, assuming everyone else is enjoying life doesn't mean you cant. And just because you are depressed doesn't mean you starve to death. If you pick something up to eat make sure it's healthy.

I battle depression for 6 years. After a good friend literally dragged me out of the house and threw away every damn bit cracker/cookie/sugar loaded carb product out of my house I started snapping out of it.

Quit making excuses. Get off your ass and do something.

>>737670999
I agree, I beat depression by forcing myself to do shit that used to make me happy till I fund joy in it again

Wish I knew. I usually go to bed hating myself and can't sleep. Lately I've been wearing diapers which I think has been acting like a coping mechanism, and I sleep fine now. It used to be just a fetish, but I'm starting to realize that's it's more than that now. I need to wear them on a regular basis to feel normal.

I've been in and out of therapy for years, tried 10 different drugs, none helped. Never talked about the diaper thing though since I was too ashamed. Thinking about going back and talking about it now since its the first thing that is starting to work.

I'm really fucked up in the head.

So far, basically everything you're taking has at the bare minimum usage as an anti-anxiety med.
Hate to break it to you, but Xanax doesn't help depression. It helps anxiety. You might have your diagnosis confused.

>>737671537
>even if the goal was "get up, get dressed, and a shave", that's better than just being a lump in pyjamas and stubble.
As someone who has depression, that shit just makes me feel worse. "Oh great. Look at you, you actually got out of bed. What a fucking achievement."

>>737671141

None of those are depression. Clinical depression is an illness of the mind, fundamental mechanics and operations of the brain don't function correctly in the mind of a depressed individual.

I suffer, it's difficult at times for me to "man up". I am well aware of the option, and wonder as to why I'm not taking this clearly better and more efficient path. Ultimately, in a a difficult state, I choose the bad option. My mind will jury rig a platter of solutions painting the bad option as the preferable, it's better to be safe in the deluded world I've created for myself. The part that knows better is always there fighting to get out, but it's kept at bay by the myriad of negativity constantly festering and looping throughout my mind.

I don't want to be this way, but I can't help it. I'm diseased, my brain as an organ is inherently flawed. How do you not understand depression in the 21st century with a connection to the internet? Why even comment on something you know nothing of?

>>737677498
well no drug is specifically tailored for fighting ocd. i tend to avoid doing certain things because they cause me anxiety. so that's why i take benzos because it's easier for me to tackle things like cleaning stuff that's dirty. if i don't then i'll just keep procrastinating and never end up cleaning and then my whole apt is a giant pile of garbage that i am too afraid to touch.

If anything, maybe my words could help the troll realize how serious this shit can be, and they may stop being such a cunt about things that affect peoples brain state.

I don't like to point at one thing and say "this" because obviously this topic is much more complicated than that but something that has been helping me recently is the teachings of Jordan Peterson, he's an ex-associate professor at Harvard of Psychology.

He's becoming known for his political stances on social issues and I don't agree with him on some of those things but if you watch his actual psychology lectures they are really great stuff. He has several lectures on mental disorders that are really great, as a psychologist he knows what he is talking about.

time, and effort. Happiness, or at least contentedness, doesn't just happen. Everyday when I wake up I take 5 minutes after I brush my teeth and wash my face to look myself in the mirror and pump myself up for the day and tell myself my worth. I treat myself regularly whether its leaving the house just to get ice cream. I make myself interact with friends I think are best for me, and ended up cutting off those I thought would make me compacent. I actively go out of my way to try and make myself happier. the hardest part is building up the motivation to try it and stick to it, but once a week passed, that mindset just became a part of my routine.
tl;dr: there's no easy fix, you have to actively try to be happier over a long period of time.

Nice trips but weed is often horrible for people with mood disorders.

Fuck anti-depressants. Shit may put a band-aid over the issue for awhile but you'll never truly be happy. Sure, it raises your lows so you don't feel depressed anymore, but it also lowers your highs so you won't feel alive or human anymore.

Exercise daily
Cut the junk food (added sugars, alcohol, sodium, etc.) Eat fucking healthy. Eat fresh green veggies all the time.
Stop doing drugs (even weed)
Force yourself into social situations

Guarantee if you do this (and don't cheat) you'll feel better in 3 months, TOPS.

Weed is TERRIBLE for depression. aside from the initial part of getting high, once you plateau it tends to make me too introspective, and I depress myself further with my thoughts.

You can't really beat it.
You can only reduce the adverse effects of it through proper diet, exercise, social support (e.g. family, and friends), medication, and a proper attitude towards happiness.
It's not a destination, it's a rare luxury.

Hows that working out? Im about to quit antidepressants. Just started a few weeks ago, doesn't work and makes shitting terrible.

>>737690715
don't quit yourself. ask your doctor to change your antidepressants. ask for venlafaxin, it's the best on the market in Europe, has noradrenalin and serotonin adds. Sorry for cryptic English

>when you feel better - not when you feel comfortable

Does your shit come out normal? Does it have weight gain as a side effect? I dont know if that's available here. American here. :( also i think exercising and taking xanax is helping so i think im just going to keep those up forever.

aka its an snri. was on it. felt like i was on low dose mdma. good boners. couldnt cum

>>737691642
normal shit, side effects are very low, like sweating, but very bearable compared to other drugs. smoking weed helps temporarily to stop the mind from overthinking and gives a small but motivational pause to the illness.
I will look up the American counterpart to venlafaxin

haha yeah, higher dosis lowers your sex drive and cumming gets hard as fuck. but most patients enjoy the asexuality, makes you focus on other stuff than reproduction.

found it. English name is Effexor lol, sounds pretty rad.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venlafaxine

ask for it if you're unsatisfied with your current medication. and Believe you doctor, although it's hard. they just want to help, it's not paid as well as regular medical doctors, way less. we do it for you guys, not the money.

yeah I smoked pot for 2 years, refused medication and thought I can cure myself, being an expert and such. joke is, you can't. many tried, none succeeded.
but it helps getting over the shit. parts in life, making you not quit yourself. I remember a night where my choices were suicide, ambulance or weed. I chose the latter because the other two made me shameful haha. but I survived so shaming is not always helpful haha

>>737692550
change to a psychiatrist please. you wouldn't let her operate your knee, so. don't let her operate your mind. look for a psychiatrist, really I can't say that often enough. many patients come with wrong medication because no blood tests, no medical history and also no proper education. many diagnose the wrong stuff, like everything is depression when it's not. mostly it's a sudden anxiety outburst or a personal disorder which is MADE WORSE by wrong medication.

>>737692602
I smoked for longer than that, just below wiz khalifa quantities, but actually taking it in unlike stupid rappers. Ya it helped with those thoughts, but didnt really motivate me. I think its best for me to stay off bud. its strong as hell and always being smoked around me, smelling fantastic. I have good discipline now though.

Step by step guide:
1. Get off 4chan. Use electronics less, don't instinctively pull out your phone when you're bored or uncomfortable, learn to be in reality more.
2. Go somewhere regularly, if you have extra cash, go take an exercise class and talk to new people. If you go regularly enough you will meet people, just be open to social interaction even if you don't think you're good at it (or you might already be). Say YES to any activity within reason (restaurant, bar, hike, etc), at this point don't be too picky unless the people are genuine red flags.
3. Seriously, go outside. Take whatever you do and bring it outside, even if its a hassle. Get a book, read it in a park, don't read it at your place.
4. Get a hobby, doesn't have to be something you absolutely love, just think of something you'd enjoy being good at, cooking, drawing, music (would suggest, as it is social as well).
5. Make yourself uncomfortable. Anxiety and depression are closely linked, you may be living inside a bubbled lifestyle you don't realize you can push out of. Talk to someone, the second you think you're beyond or above help is exactly the distorted thinking that needs to be addressed. If you have access to a counsellor or psych, see them, if not, there are free services. You CAN feel better, just be easy on yourself and also be firm with yourself, making yourself do things may feel or seem impossible but just do it, even mindlessly.
6. Start working out a bit if you haven't already. If you are able to do a push-up, squat, etc, do it. If you can't yet, there are tutorials online to start for beginners. Work your way up.

theres no situation. you're sick. accept you got a heavy sickness. and we want to cure you. everyone of us. even if we don't understand your situation. we understand your illness that brought upon your situation. we believe you can deal with your situation yourself, but not while being sick. you don't see that and maybe will think we don't listen to you, but the one speaking is your illness, clouding your mind and speech. we see through the disguise and fight it with you. but we can only do so much. your Brain is powerful enough, no one knows you better than yourself, you just need to remember. we try to make your brain ready for this. but your brain is complex and chemical, so we help on the chemical part, so that you can cure yourself with the help of a shrink.

By recognizing that depression is just another state of mind held by things that never should have had "states of mind." It's just one of many meaningless emotions felt by apes with brains that evolved beyond the programming of searching for food and reproduction. The casual chain of time lead you to this point; being human, having a brain, feeling things. None of it means anything and none of it matters. Truly understand this and you can trade your depression for a numbness that is not altogether unpleasant. Remove yourself from the equation and stop investing yourself in the world as everyone around you does. Then sit back and watch other meat bags continue in the charade. It feels almost fun. And then you aren't sad anymore.

>>737695566
I just can't trust that you or someone else isn't going to exploit me or my tragic story. I have a lot to lose. If people knew my story it would hurt my family and probably my future wealth. I do want to tell somebody, but i don't want them to write a book about me or worse.
