if i buy enough clothes will it cure my depression
please tell me /fa/
Yes...but it'll also become an addiction.
Nope. Retail therapy is just a temporary fix like patching a flat.

not sure about depression but I used to have anxiety and was really shy, when I discovered this board I started dressing nicely and it really did boost my confidence and I don't have anxiety anymore.

nah
i got diagnosed with severe body dysmorphic disorder and depression by my doctors
clothing feels like clingfilm that i always feel on my body. I feel my hated aspects elongate and become noticeable every day.
0/10 never fall for the BDD and depression meme

>he's this pathetic
>he thinks the /fa/ lifestyle he wishes for involves mindlessly contributing to the consumer machine to combat the symptoms it leaves in himself, never learning, never creating, accepting his eventual message from the void is to be the decomposing shoe he bought sitting in a landfill and the Nordstrom recipients found crumpled in the pocket of his hanging body
i'd rather cry while wearing a margiella sweater than cry while wearing an h&m sweater
I don't know if this works but I try to encourage people to practice increasing levels of agency and achievement because I feel like Learned Helplessness was the meat of why I was depressed.
What do I mean by that? Well one thing I can prescribe to anyone is download yourself a pdf of this book. It's not perfect but what it does is tell you about doing exercises with no space and almost no equipment.
So my theory is you do the exercises, you make tangible strength improvements, you feel more empowered to make positive changes to your life.

I'd rather be naked and smile than be dressed in designer and cry.
Fashion will not bring you happiness.
it's gives you an instant high but you feel worse after the clothes arrive
from a depressed person
it will not cure me but, as others said, give me an instant high that will change not long after to me insulting myself over it
then again, depression is something personal and maybe something that doesnt work for some people it will work for others
Feel the depression deeply. Just keep feeling and looking within your self
Depends. Dressing nicely makes me stop worrying about my appearance. Dressing in low-key or lesser known heat makes feel immune to haters. Flexing in loud or hype shit is like bump of coke.
