Pretty much this. Riding keeps my happy as fuck but breakdowns are the worst. I do get enjoyment out of doing maintainence on my bike but the down time of a major breakdown kills me.

I don't believe there's such a thing as depression. Everyone is probably unhappy and some are better at suppressing it with recreation, people and money.

What you should do is just eliminate whatever makes you unhappy in life. To do that you need money. If the process of acquiring money depresses you, try to find whatever process makes you feel the least bad until you're comfy.

I 100% bet you are out of shape, you did some minor exercize, got exhausted then stopped.

You need to do it regularily, you need to improve your cardio and build muscle mass. This takes time.

Stick with it. Go to the gym at least every other day.

"medication"
>>
>>37063909
LSD worked better than anything else for me. The first time I took acid I couldn't even remember what being depressed felt like. The depression comes back eventually but it feels much easier to maintain. There has been one exception to this, when I took the largest dose I've ever tried I felt great for the first ~10 hours but felt horribly depressed over the next day. If you do take psychs try to do it with someone who can keep you safe and also talk to you in a positive manner.

Depression is a state in which negative emotions amplify, spawning more negative thoughts, which in turn spawns more negative emotions. This leads to a sate in which the sufferer has minimal to no motivation to engage in activities which do not give short-term pleasure. Getting out of this weakened and looping state of mind is difficult since you are fighting yourself and you don't have enough strength to get rid of it in one go. If you give up after trying to fight for a bit, you will return to where you left off, or fall into a deeper pit.

When the mental ache from the negative emotions becomes too much, the sufferer will try to find anything that may release them. Depending on the person that release may come from drugs or whatever, but ultimately the final option for those who can not get help is suicide. If not that then they will remain in the loop.

From what I've experienced, suicide seems like a viable option when everything else is already ruined. If the person doesn't have anyone who will suffer from their loss, it'll be easier for them to commit. If however they have loved ones and still want to commit, they may start to distance themselves and do things consciously or subconsciously to slowly weaken their bonds with the people around them, all in the name of knowing that it would be ok to go because nobody will miss them.

This is a very basic depiction of depression which is based off of my own observations of myself and others who have experienced depression.

So if your depression is caused by external factors, then getting rid of depression is a matter of solving those external factors. Also something that can help greatly are bad thoughts. Getting rid of bad thoughts helped me a bit, it wasn't easy since it's a small habit you have to learn out of. Try not to use emotionally filled insults to justify your suffering.

Bad thoughts spawn bad emotions, so try to work on that. Instead you should take a tactical approach to solving the issues. The best you could do is identify the issue that is causing you pain and solve it. You can solve it by doing something physically, changing your opinions on it or just putting it to the side, understanding that you can't do anything about it for now.

Hope this makes sense to someone out there.

this is for babby depression though

maybe OP has the meme
>my father died and I'm so sad :((((
depression but it's unlikely

you can't analyse a mental disorder away
depression, the mental illness, is feeling awful no matter what
when you see variants on mood disorders such as Bipolar disorder you start realising maybe it's not a fun freudian psychology example and mental illnesses need medical or at least not self-therapeutic help
>>
>>37066209
oh no when its MEME TIER then that just complicates things. Self help can't really help with that, nor sure if there's any spiritual thing that can ease it either. Getting it looked at should be the first step once you figure out that things may not be so hunky-dory.

But generally what you see on here is more of the babby stuff caused by bad luck from birth or having something happen that messed someone up.

All that suffer from depression please listen here, i made it, i am healed.

You are depressed because you are lost, you are frightened to your deepest bone about this world - this humanity, the stat it is in.

You are depressed because you see everyday what is wrong, you see it in the behaviour of humans, how they are so deluded that they can`t even get how retarded they are all.

And after seeing all of that, being enlightened like that you fall in a deep hole of hopelessness and depression, because you see just nope hope and meaning for this world and its humans.

Then it came to me one day, like nothing i woke up and finally got it.

You need to shine, you need to live to change at least a little thing.

If we just dwell on the net all day everything will stay the same, and in that state of depression it would be the greates victory to redpill/enlighten at least one person, or spreading your thoughts.

You need to realise that you, nomatter how low you have sunken still have the power of an human being, you can talk, live, have children.

And if you do not do that, you wasted an opportunity to change the world, to change others.

Just get out and do anything, no matter what, walk 2 hours around the parks and forests, maybe you find something interesting or an interesting person.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO DO SOMETHING THAN DOING NOTHING.

And this will heal you in the end because you finally get how you alone can change the world, you are like the fire that spreads to other inflammable things if you get in contact with it.

Never lose hope in yourself, you have always powers.

i don't really think depression is an extremely negative or painful experience. it's more of a numbing experience that gradually wears on you over time like waves disintegrating a rock. i don't really feel any emotion whatsoever and am completely indifferent to nearly everything, struggling to find a rhyme or reason. i only feel kinda bad when i have a bad day or i get bored and start thinking about my life

but even then, i don't even feel sad or the stereotypical view of "depression." i don't think about how I'm a virgin or how i have zero friends. i actually like who i am. it all doesn't really hurt me and i'm totally fine being alone, but at the same time, I feel like I'm missing something I'll never find and i feel numb. Can't really explain it.

Well it depends.

If you're depressed because of circumstances, exiting those circumstances no not killing yourself should make it go away. Similarly, if you have a depressive episode, that will go away, with time.

If you're depressed for "no reason"/chronically depressed it's not going to go away. The most you can do is try to find pills that work for you, which may or may not happen, and you may return to how you felt before while off of them.

>>37063909
You need to get some lead in your system. More specifically in your brains.

>>37068517

Nobody is depressed for "no reason".

The idea that someone can have a low mood with no outside cause is rediculous.

If someone has a job, lots of friends, a romantic partner, etc and is depressed, they probably have poor sleep patterns, or a shit diet, or they have shallow relationships or something else.
There is always an outside cause.
Depression isn't something caused by a magic "chemical imbalance" no one can see.

Depression as an illness is a meme

autistic depressionfag here
been on a total of 3 types of meds, therapy, self therapy, army etc. even planned to an hero but pussied out
nothing of this helped

the only cure that has worked for me so far is to stop giving a shit about everything
I quit my job 2 years ago, moved back to my mom and siblings, got mom to help me get neetbux and compensation money for former work related injuries (she was a law student)
now all I do is play vidya and spend time with my family. I recently contacted some childhood "friends" and we're going on a roadtrip together this summer.
I'm not super happy but I'm not depressed anymore and I'm probably gonna get better


tl;dr stop caring about things that wont benefit you and talk to your mom

Honestly the only way to "fix" yourself is to accept that you're always, or mostly, are going to feel shit and depressed. Once you have done that, then you will practice on becoming self aware whenever you start having negative thoughts that prevent you from doing shit. It's not going to fix you, but it will help you live with yourself. You're literally going to end up talking to yourself in your head, forcing yourself to do shit. You know how in cartoons they have like an angel and devil on each side of their head? That's you. The devil is your mental illness and the angel is your subconscious, the reason and logic. Tap into your subconscious and don't let the devil win.

There is one that really works.... I don't know if you've ever heard of this, but it is called boipussy. It is the strongest substance known to man.

Or... you could bottom. When the penis is inserted into you it will relax your spinchter, wich will make all tension leave your body.

You could do both at the same time. If is called a gay train.

I don't think there are, but there are many ways to enjoy what you feel more. Many people who are depressed spend too much time thinking about what they could have enjoyed or what they should enjoy that they don't even enjoy anything. Simple hobbies are seen as redundant or frivolous. Things that should be interesting are boring. All you need to do to avoid the wretched feeling of wanting to kill yourself every day is to try to enjoy the little things. Push through any feelings of negativity and do something different. You won't cure your depression, but it will distract you. You can't just make yourself be happy. If you distract yourself long enough with non depressing activities, you might find moments where you don't remember you're depressed. There will still be days where the rain kills all your plans and you can't help but give up. Just don't let those days stack up. Live a little.

Science can only show what happens, it doesn't explain why. There are some who are predisposed to be more sensitive towards depression but those people are generally the weak minded ones.

t. guy on anti depressants.

P.S. Nice strawman. This topic had nothing to do with "flat earthers" or climate change deniers but you had to reassure yourself by bringing up irrelevant tangents that have pre-existing confirmation bias so you can convince yourself that these people cannot have a logical course of reason because then you would actually have to face the fact that you might be wrong. :-)

Take walks, preferably at parks or countryside.
