By manning the fuck up. Take some fucking risks. Feel what it's like to succeed.

Jesus Harvey Tapdancing Christ on wooden fucking leg! Is EVERYONE on this fucking board depressed or some shit? Lemme tell you something faggot. My mother spent the first 8 years of my life trying to KILL ME! In and out of state care. 3 weeks before my 9th birthday she beat me into a fucking COMA! Spent the next 3 years in foster care, where I was beaten and raped by my foster father. My grandparents took me in after a 3 year long legal battle with the state. By the time I was 15 they kicked me out too. Ya know what OP? I'm still here TWENTY YEARS LATER! Fuck depression, fuck PTSD, and most of all FUCK THEM! I am here because I refuse to be broken by what they did to me. If I can man the fuck up, and keep kicking, YOU CAN TOO! You can beat depression because FUCK THEM! That's why!

When I'm not at work, I try to forget about it by watching TV shows, playing games and drinking quite a bit of alcohol.

Take 200mg of 5-HTP
Take 300mg of St. John's Wort
Watch a lot of movies
Get regular exercise
Masturbate before sleep and after waking up
Talk to friends in person whenever possible

What I do occasionally as needed:

Get an Asian massage
Pay for sex

What I'll be doing soon:

I shelled out $2K for a sex doll, so in a few weeks I'll have a life size, pseudo female in my bed at all times. I anticipate my subconscious and sleeping self will at least sense that there's a female in the bed with me and my hope is to sleep better as a result. And yes, have sex with the thing.

I am 43 and learned its part of life. Like a military ribbon. Fighting it right now actually. I basically do some self evaluation. then find new challenges and interests to distract me. focus on things that make me sad or angry and take them head on until they go away. I realize its not always this simple but find happiness is a moving target so when you embrace that and engage you dont have time to be depressed anymore.

realize that it's society that's sick and not you anon

Tell my self to stop being a bitch, feeling like shit constantly gains me nothing. Cut down on pretty much all soda and candy/chocolate/snacks, replace with more healthy stuff. Used to eat a lot of trash between meals, now i make sandwiches or eat an apple and surprisingly ive felt better from it mentally, less headaches and less sudden drops of energy after the sugar rush.


Simple stuff, also convinced myself that i enjoy my lifestyle and thats why im doing what im doing, and i'll simply change when i feel like i should. Also moving out from parents helps a lot.

>>741105398

If you don't dwell on shit that makes you depressed, you CAN stave off the *bad* debilitating depression. But, I think depression is basically normal, more for some than others, but still normal. Life is a lot like living in a pod in the matrix. You just have to keep lying to yourself to get through it.

Why would you want to? I'm 48 years old and I've lived with severe and untreatable clinical depression all my life. I'm one of the 20% or so of people with depression for whom neither drugs nor therapy will help. As a result, I've had to learn how to live with depression naturally.

Are you familiar with the theory of depressive realism? Clinical studies have consistently shown that depressed people show markedly superior judgement in tasks like estimating whether a given shape will fit a given hole. Non-depressed people err constantly on the side of optimism. What this shows is that depression is actually the removal of a filter which makes the world seem irrationally pleasant for everyone else. That means depression isn't a curse but a dark blessing capable of giving you the best and most accurate possible understanding of yourself and the world. It's just that you and the world are *horrible*.

I don't know if my dad is depressed or not. I don't know him well enough, having only met him a few years ago. My mother is too egotistical, and vindictive to be depressed. Though, considering I haven't spoken to her in over 10 years, that could have changed.

>>741105518
Why would anyone want to "stay away from masturbation?" You get a nice release of endorphins and oxytocin when you orgasm.

I get momentary relief from my crippling anxiety and depression when I talk to random sluts from 4chan and talk them into doing kinky shit.

That is to say, I just sext random girls because I'm good at it since I write smut to make money on the side, and it's an ego boost because they always end up saying they cum while sexting and "it's so hot" and blah blah.

Also helps that when they see my dick they always have good reactions.

It's petty and short term, but it's the only thing that really stops the constant suicidal thoughts and self loathing from depression, and the nausea, shaking and high blood pressure from the anxiety.

>>741105630
truth to that. But physical health affects mental and emotional. so small things like diet...excercise...accomplishments build more reality to engage with. There are more brooders who do nothing at all but brood than not.

>>741105328
I don't care what others say but I must admit you are here at something, yes you found a way to enjoy life at least. I am in depression because of a girl and I will try what you do now. I wish I could be assexual or gay, fucking bitches turning my life to hell.

>>741105518
Don't listen, OP. Nofappers don't know what's up. You need sexual stimulus to feel fulfilled as a human, even if it's just masturbation. Just don't make it a habit. Do it a couple times a week.

Also: no masturbation is at least correlated with a heightened risk of prostate cancer. That'd make you more depressed.

Cycle.

Personally I think she was psychotic. She threw her stepson through a door when he was 13 because he forgot to put her laundry in the dryer for her. Also I think she gets off on displaying dominance.

Okay, so how exactly do you live with it? You must have some coping mechanisms, like doing sports, distracting yourself via your work etc.

>>741106360
She could very well be psychotic. Doesn't mean she isn't massively depressed.

The point is happy people don't act like that. This goes beyond mental illness. The older I get the more I realize no one is fucking happy. People can be broken by mere insults. We all just try and get by with whatever can make us feel content at the time. For some it's video games, some alcohol, some weed, and some just being assholes to others.

All I need to do is look at my own son, and know I'm 10x a better parent than my mother was to me, to make me happy. Just hearing the words "Thanks Dad" when I drop him off at school will keep me emotionally bulletproof all day.

Just exercise every day. Being even slightly physically stronger makes you alpha male.

The only trouble is that it takes about 6 weeks to be noticeable. All the time you sweating you won't notice it and think it isn't working. Until it does.

No he definitely means 6 weeks. I started doing this about 2 months ago.

If youre ever down instead of hurting yourself emotionally or physically, just beat this shit out of yourself working out and in no time youll feel better. If you want to beat depression youre already doing better than most who dont or wont make any effort.

exercise, that means hight intensity training, hard in firt weeks, but after that i felt my body with energy and that helps a lot, also learning nwe things, like programming, a language, math, whatever it works for you, it help you giving your brain something else to focus instead of feels. Also, that kind of stuff make you think differently somehow.

Find something to do

exercise.

Can thoroughly recommend doing martial arts. doesnt matter what - boxing, asian, european historical swords, MMA. the actual one doesnt matter.
it releases endorphins from exercise, it can be a good workout, and it also can give adrenaline from sparring later on.
