Daily reminder that depression and social anxiety are meme diseases

I'm suicidal on days I don't lift.

Having a shit life isn't a meme bro.

Having a shit life is not depression, it's having a shit life.

>depression and social anxiety are meme diseases
Actually they're not, but I'm beginning to think that the 'cause' of them is more societal (but not in the way you might think). Pharmaceutical companies and the mental health industry have been pushing serotonin-increasing antidepressants for decades now. Serotonin is antagonistic towards dopamine. Low dopamine can cause things like depression and anxiety, as well as decreased overall drive and ambition to do much of anything. Anyone on /fit/ who suffers from chronic depression and social anxiety should try taking N-Acetyl-Tyrosine daily for a while and see if they handle life differently.

This is actually true
I was depressed as fuck and wanted to kill myself, then I started lifting and found that I can actually accomplish something if I wanted to
the highs from cardio and lifting make mundane events in my life entertaining, and I don't feel self-conscious about my autistic hobbies since I'm going to look like the top 5% of people in the hobbies anyway, once I make it [spoiler]Especially if my hobbies are full of autists[/spoiler]

Why?
Do you have nothing else,that keeps your mind away from the evil thoughts?

Dat b true, 90% of the time depression is your body trying to tell your concious mind that you need to change your life in some way

It's worse than that, they aren't even "diseases" in the first place.

"Depression" is just being aware of having horrible genetics. That's literally it. You simply have bad BRAIN CHEMISTRY. I'm sure it really fucking sucks, but there's nothing you can do. Lifting may cure it temporarily, but believe me, it doesn't last. No depressed people ever really escape it.

bad genetics.
One studies physics and is not wide away from his bachelor,has many friends and hobbies and the other one is nearly done with his Diplom here in Germany,has also many friends,women and hobbies and both of them are fucked up and had suicide attempts.
We regularly talk about how shit is shit.
