How do you continue to beat depression in your own life?

i personally just wait it out, so i semi-function 30-40 percent of the time

With a bag of oranges, so it doesn't have any bruises to use as evidence.

Complete meme, statistically most people don't beat it at all.

If you mean dealing with it, that's a different matter, but depression itself can rarely be beaten.

Depression is a chronic illness. You can only manage it.

It's a normalfaggot that was "depressed" when his Stacy left him for Tyrone, so those things made him happy. For actually depressed people the only solution is suicide or having someone take care of you and force you to take your medication until you're functional again. That really doesn't happen very often, so you'll probably be miserable forever.

>>35718735

This x100000

Also once you get into depression your quality of life will drop whether you improve or not. For instance, once you have depression your cognitive abilities are proven through multiple studies on it to be reduced even after one bout of it

Nofap won't help you unless you are masturbating 6+ times a day already. I don't know why people STILL fall for it.

you guys are going to hate this answer but whenever i'm feeling down i go to reddit and browse all of the top answers on r/justneckbeardthings it helps me feel better about myself.

>>35718606
>I'm a writefag so everyone else should be too.

>>35719273

yeah you're better off just going outside for a few hours and producing some Vitamin D (which is essential for testosterone)

>>35719273
i helped me but ive been masturbating 3-4 times a day since i was 13 and im 26

if i knew about the dangers of excessive pmo when i was 13 i wouldnt be kv

>>35719312
You're probably not depressed because you're lacking testosterone. Why do nofap idiots always harp on and on about muh test?
Yes, vitamin D and sunlight could greatly improve your mood. So could an antidepressant, antipsychotic, a sleep study, therapy with a male therapist, breaking your sugar addiction, etc. There are many, many factors involved with depression; it's not as simple as go outside or eat better or stop masturbating.
In my case, I unknowingly had idiopathic hypersomnia for years along with anxiety issues and standard depression. Fixing the sleep disorder instantly fixed about 50-60% of my depressive issues.

>>35719149
>he actually fell for nofap

I don't care either way. I live it out just to see what will happen. We have plenty of time to be dead, but you only get one chance to be alive, regardless of how good or bad it is.

Ignore the inevitable and distract yourself long enough until you go to sleep. I wish my life was different.

It seems as if I will never live it on my own terms. I'm in my 20's now but was taken advantage of and didn't realize until it was too late when I was young. No one expect the people who are supposed to take care of you to hurt you but that's what happens with people who have mental issues, I suppose. Or at least that helps me "cope" with it.

I've been working for a few years now. When I started, my parents informed me that it would be ideal to have a joint account and use direct deposit. At 18, you're not that smart. Of course, all of my pay goes directly to them. Here's the problem... Of course I'm not allowed to touch the money, but whenever I confront them they just say that it's not even that much money and that I wouldn't survive on it regardless so it's better for them to have it. If it wasn't that much money why would they need it? Well, you get the idea, financial abuse.

You know... I didn't believe these situations were a big deal until it happened to me. It's impossible to describe the feeling. The feeling of being stuck and there's literally nothing you can do about it. It's so sad, especially when someone that's supposed to be the one to care for you does it to you. They even took (stole) my financial aid and act like nothing happened.

I was smart enough to make a bank account behind their back so I'm safe on that. I'm working on secretly learning programming and working online so I can get enough money to escape. Long journey ahead. Of course has to be secret because they'll threaten to kick me out unless I give them the money if they find out.

Life.

>How do you... beat depression in your own life?

Getting older is all about learning to deal with less happiness and more pain. That's the trend that will continue for your entire life. It gets progressively worse every year, and you get better at dealing with it. That's how you 'beat' depression. You learn to be okay with being depressed. You make it a comfortable everyday reality.

I live in a cold snowy mother fucking place. Every single winter is miserable and it feels like it gets worse every year. You don't ever beat the winter. You just do your best. Buy a thick coat and some wool socks and gloves and a hat. Get yourself a snow blower. Put a remote starter and heated seats in your car. Piece together the small comforts that allow you to deal with the everyday misery. Do your best to be content and comfortable in a depressing fucking life. So what if your shit hurts all the time? That's life, you'll get used to it eventually.

Trust me, trust me, it gets easier. The older you get the easier it is. Every year you get that little bit more experience. It doesn't feel like you're changing but you are just from existing. Just from wanting to be better you gradually make those tiny improvements. Young people are fucking weak, you are fucking weak dude. Muh anxiety, muh classes, muh oneitis, it's all so petty. You'll laugh at how weak that shit is some day, how weak you were for not being able to deal with it.

I'm not trying to be strictly insulting. If you don't believe me think for a second about what little kids are like. They're dumb, they're weak, they don't know anything, they can't do anything. They have no means of coping. Tell a little kid he'll get in trouble and it's like his world is ending. That's you. You're still growing, you're always growing, you're getting better all the time. Keep holding on and before you know it you'll be so big, you'll be larger than life, it'll be like none of this world's troubles can touch you any more.

>>35718469
I focus on my gains and deprive myself of things.

I eat a very bland diet.

And when I feel like I deserve it, I let myself have 1 organic lollipop, or 1 bowl of air popped popcorn with olive oil, salt, and nutritional yeast.

I look forward to these things because I don't let myself have them very often.

You can basically brainwash yourself into really enjoying the little things in life to the point you think having a gf would be more fun than you really need, like some kind of unhealthy overload.

yeah me too dude, thats what motivates me to get better

its fucking HORRIBLE, porn numbs everything. all your feelings and pain it just numbs it out, like a drug. no pmo got me losing weight, thinking endlessly about my looks, thinking about hygene and clothing styles and being clean all the time, thinking about what i need to do to get her to dream about me

>>35718469
I ignore it until it goes away, then I'm functional. However it comes back twice as strong at random moments and I basically become a hollow shell of a person who can't do anything for a few weeks. This time it was because of an anime I watched. I don't know what else you could do besides wait it out desu.

>>35718552
Same
Came to the realization that I won't ever really beat it. So I just let it come and go.

>>35719866
no

1 year no fap atleast, try different diets and see how they work for you try 90 days vegan diet, keto diet, this and that diet, watch videos about mushroom's effect on depression, get the kind of /fit/ that would make zyzz smile at you, try everything see if it works

im 26 and i believe, for myself atleast. you need to break mentally to try. me, ive been praying to god everyday as of late

>>35720584
>1 year no fap
At least you're kind enough to put a "I'M A FUCKING MORON" stamp at the beginning of your post. It saves people the trouble of reading your drivel.

There is indeed a way to end depression forever , but that implies working with the way you see reality.

There is a way to cheat tough.
>Meditate
>Smoke weed
>have sex/jerk off

Do at least a combination of two of this things everyday ( the most important ones are meditation and excercise)

>>35720647

>>35720584
but how to deal if you dont believe in no god, every day just gets worse, my mother who was the main reason for me to live on may soon die, what can give me any comfort that things will be better one day. i just dont think it will get better, since i see my problems, and how nothing has changed all those 27 fucking years i ve been living now. life seems like a cruel joke to me everyday a little more, things become more grey.

what should convince me to keep going that long path of suffering anymore? please, tell me, i want that answer so dearly.

>>35718469
You can't beat it. Deluding yourself that you're ok and that life's fine will just lead to a harsh crash when you finally face reality.

Fuck this gay earth desu.

>>35721276
>but how to deal if you dont believe in no god

very difficult question. personally i just broke down mentally, literally my mind collapsed in itself and i just started believing. fully surrendered, i couldnt deal with it. try searching for god somehow. you are who you surround yourself with. if you search for a reason to believe in god long enough you might even find something

just listen to people worth listening while spacing out in games, thats what i'd do, i did this for every other problem i had. i remember i liked walter veith

>>35718469
I don't have real depression, I just hate myself.
>get drunk
>blow off responsibilities
>have a wank
>go on a nightwalk
>go camping
>try to get some human contact other than (you)s
>make myself a meal
When I'm feeling down I go into self destructive behavior. Only after the worst of it passes do I do anything good for for myself.

>>35718469
Live like you are already dead, that is what I do. At some point I got so depressed that I wanted to kill myself so bad, but I couldn't do that to my parents. So instead I accepted at that moment my soul was dead.

Now I am just a living husk. Every thing I do in life I do as if I was already dead. I stopped caring about people. I take risks everywhere I go, sometimes stupid and sometimes smart. I just don't care any more, for what I wish most is just to get randomly killed in some accident or robbery.

>>35719142
And doing all of this, at the end of the day your energy is depleted as well, right?

Depression honestly seems like a full time job.

More like 24/7.

A man who doesn't have time to think doesn't have depression. Get rid of all your free time working and sleeping, trying to get rid of thoughts about your life. Never question or try to search a meaning or purpose for what are you doing with your life. If you can't sleep or work, practice some sports or run like Forrest did once.

More or less this, except I have no women to talk to, I don't give a shit about writing to reading anymore, and I don't have money for DUDE WEED LMAO anymore.

I still exercise everyday and play the piano & make digital music. I fixed my diet as well, way less sugar, no more energy drinks, more vegetables and also lots and lots of coconut oil which is good against anxiety & depression.

I also listen to music nearly 16 hours a day as a way to drown out any would-be autistic daydreaming fantasies, embarrassing or traumatic childhood memories, and any other sort of introspective nightmares that will put me back in the hole.

Being on 4chan is my #1 waste of time
