This place has been destroyed by normies. It's so obvious they do it for attention. They can feel sad but they can never know what being depressed feels like, they will never be able to fully comprehend what that is. Especially someone who can get thousands of likes on an Instagram post.

She wouldn't be diagnosed with both bipolar and MDD from the same psychiatric incident. The depressive episode is either linked to the manic-depressive cycle of bipolar, or due to MDD. It cannot be both. Also borderline bipolar disorder is not a thing.

Seems like malingering is her proper diagnosis.

She was on sick pay for 6 months, and now she's on disability. She is beautiful, had a great job, lots of money, but she was "depressed" that she didn't have a husband who was her own age, who was really good looking, and really rich.

She also broke up with all of the boyfriends she has had in the past 10 years.

I don't understand women.

I'm a 27-year-old KHV, but as soon as I tell my counsellor that I feel suicidal, I get told that I am being stupid. And I'm told that feeling suicidal because I am lonely and unloved doesn't make sense. But my former boss can get disability welfare because she hasn't had a boyfriend in a few years? The fuck is that?

Squeaky wheel gets the grease. People have figured out you get way more attention/special treatment/praise for being the victim than for actually achieving shit.

It's better to black, disabled, gay, and have ADD than to be the valedictorian.

you guys should've seen a thread on here a few months back

it was some Stacey doing the same attention-whoring shit. posting "i wanna die lol" on her twitter, crying about how Chad only fucked her but wouldn't commit, etc.

she tried jumping off a tiny 10 ft overpass for attention, but got destroyed by a couple cars. it was hilarious, some beta she told to kill himself was gloating on twitter while all the other chads and staceys pretended to be sad.

>normies have literally 0 empathy. everything they do is a competition for attention, and now that mental illness is taken seriously as an actual illness, they've opened up a new goldmine!


But it is simply not true. I was depressed and told nobody about it. Only once it started getting to point of throwing up and having full blown panic attacks I signed up for a therapist and shrink and got my brain under order. I isolated myself and did not talk to anyone about it except family and gf at that time.

>>34729654
I said you are a normie because they love to be armchair psychologists and shout PROJECTION at everything. and I never said being a normie is a bad thing. And even if you dont admit it, "muh projection" is not much of an argument. If you seriously think everyone who says they have a mental illness is being genuine, you are bing willfully ignorant.

>>34729692
Normalfags are the ones who give them attention, they are part of the problem.

>>34728644

> If you seriously think everyone who says they have a mental illness is being genuine, you are bing willfully ignorant.

Not everyone, but many people are truly depressed.

I'm saying again. I was a depressed for 10 years and always rejected idea of seeing a shrink when recommended to do so. I said that depression does not exist, its just because I'm not a Chad that I feel bad.

Well, in the end it turned out I actually was a Chad and the depression was a mental problem that had to be treated with therapy and drugs.

I split up with my gf and am a free man now, feeling great and going on beautiful adventure of my life. Never felt like this before. Never. I thought it was humans way of being depressed, but it does not have to be so.

>Dumb whore was struck with self awareness and mistook it for depression.

Can you give me a quick rundown on before/after you started anti-depressants. Think I might need them. I mean my depression has obvious causes, its not out of the blue. However, I constantly go between feeling incredibly motivated and positive about the future, to feeling like my life is a problem, i'm a bad person, things will never improve, i've always been like this and always will be and want to die. Like the thought of death is actually comforting to me. Its making me kind of scary because I literally see myself as worthless, have pretty much no ego. Get hurt, don't care. In my happier moments thinking of suicide seems so silly and such a waste.

The more you know

>>34730350
Usually day by day. I'll get whole days of feeling normal, but then the next day I can completely shut down and feel like life is not worth it. Sometimes I can be feeling fine and then one negative thought sets me off, and I start thinking of everything negatively.

>>34730343

Neither is yours.

Yes, it was similar for me. I also had this bipolar disorder thing, but overall it was just extremely negative world view despite positive things in my life, always seeing the worst situation and scenario, not being objective, seeing glass half empty and not 50% with water and 50% without water like a normal person would.

I started a low dose of escilatopram and quetiapine and have been taking for 1.5 months. Feeling a lot better now, nothing is nagging me anymore. I can concentrate on working out, doing my job, improving myself, learning new skills.

But my depression was half caused by a prolonged relationship that I did not want to be in. So once I cut that off, I felt much better as a person as well.

>>34730318

For the love of fuck don't do anti-depressants, I swear to fuck

Anti-Depressants will permanently ass rape your brain and turn it to mush and you'll never think straight or right again. You'll end up feeling even worse and life becomes a bleak haze where emotion isn't as strong anymore but you won't even realise it. In fact you won't even realise just how mentally retarded it will make you unless you stop taking them and in a year realise just how messed up they made you. They'll make you think in weird ways or do weird things that you'd never do, but again, you won't realise that it's out of the norm for you.

Or do it, I don't really care.

I'd tell you to lift weights and run and get your natural endorphins and dopamine feel-good brain chemicals flowing

Also this advice is only for white people. If you're black or brown I recommend you take anti-depressants, don't lift and run and sit on a couch and watch your life waste away

I do lift, cycle and swim. My diets awful like but I keep active. It does help a bit. On the way home from the gym i'll feel good about myself, good about life. Like i'm moving towards something, I have a path etc. But it usually only lasts a few hours. Then it hits me again. The feeling that I was just fooling myself. Nothing seems to really help. I stand in clubs while drinking watching everyone around me dance, having a good time and think its all a sham. They're just fooling themselves, in 100 years this moment will never have happened. None of this matters, etc. Makes me feel like a pycho desu. Anyway, would you say the effects of anti-depressants persist even after coming off them permanently? Could be worth trying them out.

>>34728804
damn, when i was in counseling this dude brought up how he stepdad would beat and rape him almost every day

another guy was forced to torture animals and was tortured a few times himself

this other one was being verbally abused and beaten by his foster parents and was forced to cover it up for years

i thought my problems with being raised by a single mom were an issue (they were) but i realized how lucky i was

>>34730586
You should sort out your diet. I used to eat trash and i never worked out. Once i sorted my diet out i started feeling better and working out added to that. I feel confident in my body now which is a big step up from before and i find it easier to do things, i sleep better and i perform better in pretty much everything.

However, like you, i still cant do a social life. Whenever i go to a party i just end up standing in the corner. I took up smoking so id have people to talk to and something to do but even then i end up just standing in the corner of the smokers by myself. I quit smoking when i gave up on this completely. Parties and clubs arent for the likes of you and me. Its normalfag advice and hypocritical of me to give it since i havent successfully done it but, try joining a sports club or something. Maybe youll find friends there. Like i said, it hasnt worked for me - people seem to treat it as a place to meet people in order to go to parties with them. However, i dont know what else to try.

Stay the fuck away from anti-depressants though. One of the few people ive been close to started taking them and they turned him into a shell of a person. He was never particularly talkative but he just stand there spaced out or look confused.

>>34730742
Did you go private? Im guessing it was because i went to the university's free counseling but i cant afford private and i imagine the state would point me towards that.

>Sometimes I can be feeling fine and then one negative thought sets me off, and I start thinking of everything negatively.
I might just be spouting out something obvious, but if you've got the capability for it still, you should specifically try to reject the negative feelings the instant you catch yourself starting to fall back into that pit. Pump your lungs full of air, get angry, punch yourself or a wall and in general just try to squeeze what energy you have into continuous, conscious refusal of it. It's not really a solution and it might not work too well, or at all depending on how down you are, but it's always better than simply accepting the depression.
Also don't feelpost, at all. Don't complain about how miserable you are, or feel any self-pity, because it will simply make you feel worse. If you're not doing it, good, never start.

>>34730771
Okay man, appreciate the advice. I'll try and solve my problems the natural way. I've always been a big believer in just trying to work through things in my mind by myself, but it may sometimes backfire a bit.

I have a few friends but they're the same type of people as me. Awkward, niche interests. We don't know any girls or anything, guess I just feel like I want a relationship since i've never been in one and normies are the gateway to women.

Pretty sure i'm genuinely autistic, but high functioning enough that I can fake normality. In the same way you can fake a conversation by using an Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard. Works at first but after a while people want to hear something a little more deep and personal that you just can't find in the script for Terminator 2. People think when they meet me that i'm just shy and its a temporary phase but that initial awkward stage lasts forever. I've been called cold in the past, as if its my choice.

Coming to terms with a life of probable loneliness is probably all I can do. I am what I am, it is what it is.

In a way, as fucked up and lonely as my life is, I am grateful that I am not like one of these people.

They have absolutely no framework of understanding what it's ACTUALLY like to be alone and depressed, so in a way, I have a deeper more poetic character and have experienced a much greater depth of human emotion.

It's almost like I'm grateful for these feels because I'm actually experiencing life, not a shallow shadow of it while memeing my "depression" on Instagram.
