how to fix fluctuating moods?
how to cure depression?
how to cruise on a constant good mood?
is it cold showers?
is it nofap?
is it killing yourself to be free of all suffering and torment?
you decide
>>35316452
how about getting off of 4chan
>>35316474
maybe
sometimes i wake up really happy and confident
other times i wake up really fucking depressed
other times i wake up just passive with no motivation
it's completely independant of factors like 4chan, fapping or sleep as far as i know
fuck dog
I found out putting my penis inside vaginas was great for depression
>>35316488
>completely independent
no, its not. You know why i know, because youd actually be doing something constructive with your free time instead of asking these little bitch questions.
Try to learn something new, change your conditions, do things you normally wouldn't do.
Learn to play the piano, i don't know.
>>35316452
try taking VItamin D 5-htp. maybe increase your caffeine intake
Limit fapping to once a week
do more cardio, even its walking.
take a serious interest in a hobby and become obsessed with it tbqh
>>35316452
how can you let all of these external factors affect your mood like this? how can you expect to ever be able to lift heavy numbers (or accomplish any goals in general) when external things like cold showers or not masturbating sways yours motivation and mood like a swinging pendulum?
you need to be able to focus and control yourself, which is very much easier said than done. find internal factors that will motivate you and ignore things that you cannot control.
I guarantee you that once you find this motivation you will realize that your depression and mood swings will have dissipated. you will always be in the same positive head space, and things like masturbating or showering with cold water will not make a difference.

all great answers familias
especially
>>35316561
could you elaborate on the self-focus/control a bit?
how exactly would i go about accomplishing that?
all the people commenting in this thread are fucking retarded
>>35316452
squatz
>>35316641
>commenting
are you bamboozling us, Mr Retardo?
seriously though
overtraining can fuck with your mood, consider taking a break.
I've found that my depression stems from low self esteem, and that comes from not accomplishing much or failing to accomplish my goals. Things like:
getting dates (or just talking to women)
hitting PRs in the gym
buying new clothes that really look good on me cleaning my place
making progress towards my dream career
fixing my posture
these are all things that boost your esteem and snap you out of depressive episodes. Set small, reasonable goals for yourself and hit them and you will rarely find yourself depressed.
It is thought that depression often comes from existential crises, meaning we wake up and realize that there's nothing stopping us from being worthless trash. The way to combat that is to give your own life meaning and purpose. This may require some major changes, such as moving or changing careers, but being depressed is a major condition and you must take some risks to snap out of it.
1800mg of St. John's Wort has helped me A LOT.
I used to get crying fits when I dropped a cup and it broke for example (I'm male btw). No I'm a lot more stable.
It's cheap and won't zombify you like SSRIs
>>35316609
its hard to apply it to every day things because I don't know your every day life, but I can tell you what I did and how it began to work for me. I was fat, ate out junk food had zero self control, i was failing my classes and all I did was pretty much play video games and eat. I thought that since I was being mistreated and looked down upon by others for my weight I could eat more to negate the negative emotions these people provoked. it obviously only made me more fat and depressed. i believe that setting goals is extremely important as well as holding yourself to a high standard. if you do not have dream big of lifting huge amounts of weight (or whatever craft you are trying to master) you will not do big things, you know? You have to want it, when you set goals for yourself and achieve them you become addicted to it.
i find the easiest way to control myself is when making any decision; I think to myself what would be the best decision for "making it" lol. so being the best that I could be health wise and mentally. for example on Friday I was asked by friends if I wanted to go smoke weed and hang out that night, but I knew that if I went it would lead to the next me being extremely tired and unable to train, but I would also over eat. it was an tough decision because I love weed and food and friends, but I can always hang out with them when we aren't in an environment where I am pressured to indulge in unhealthy things.
>>35316684
this is true, with anything, everything in moderation. people say overtraining is bad for your physically but your body can adapt(assuming you are able to keep with it, and have an appropriate diet for it); i think overtraining can sometimes take it's toll mentally because you spend so much time over training you can kind of begin to think, "ok well i've been training 7 days a week, 2 hours a day; why am I not seeing more results?" this thinking will most likely end up fucking with your mental
How does one cure manlet depression? I feel there's not much that can be done since obviously I can change muh genetics. Some days I literal don't wanna live
>>35316884
there is literally nothing that can be done. do not listen to the retards on this board, man. do not let it affect you at all and you will notice that girls will not care. some will, but everyone has their own type.
girls like confidence, and if you aren't sure of yourself how can you be sure of them is most likely what they think. when people try to draw attention away from it or hide it by using inserts or whatever it comes off much worse than a short guy who doesn't let it affect him.
it also comes with positive affects, you will be able to look much more defined and muscular quicker. this will help as well.
>>35316964
It's not just people on this board though. I've done lots of research on the Internet. I've read and seen things I wish I never would have. It's pretty much a universal truth that manlets have it worse. I know I have to accept that but it doesn't make it easy or fun. Lifting definitely helps with how I feel some days. I just end up watching porn and jerking off though or playing vidya.
>>35317058
it isn't easy or fun. honestly its a challenge. as memey as it sounds, men who are short kind of have the dating game on hard mode. if you think of it like that it can sometimes make it a little less depressing and more encouraging. again, easier said than done, almost all of this is mental.
lifting is awesome and has helped me as well. i think lifting is so cool because what other sport/hobby changes your entire lifestyle for the better? so many good habits are formed when exercise becomes a priority, it is awesome.

2015 gave me a bit of hope. If my dick starts working again in 2016 I will be forever grateful. It's still a shame that I wasted so many years of my youth not having any sex. If I won't be able to get my dick to work in 2016, I'll kill myself at the end of the year.

This
I did no porn/no 4chan for 3 weeks and I was the happiest I have been in almost a decade.
The key is to keep busy, and not just be bored wasting time online. I had to keep myself out the house to stop myself from going back home to be a lazy shit.

Who needs a fulfilling career, an above minimum wage and confidence?
At least I have my gainz
>>35316526
This is the answer. Take a course online or something >>35316488
>>35317137
Same here man
I really think it's porn that fucked me up and I can't get an erection. It kills my confidence because I get hit on but I turn chicks away because of my ED.
Hopefully soon I'll start to get back on track. Hang in there pepe.
>>35317387
Have you ruled out that the possibilty of hormonal imbalance and such? If you haven't, I'd suggest you to do so.
I've used porn since the age of 12 regularly. I guess it really overstimulated and desentesized my brain greatly. It's a long way to go but I'm determined. Hang in there too, brother. We are gonna make it.
nootropics. Since i take tons of pills i am everyday with good mood
>>35317430
I have had blood work done and know I have low testosterone but I think I do need to get my hormone levels checked.
I have been watching porn since about that time too and it's time to stop. Thanks for the advice man.

>>35316452
Fill every spare second with something. I'm fighting off some dark times at the moment, and I'm at my best when I'm focusing on something like playing an instrument, or at the gym, or coding, or anything, really.

He means he's a virgin. Are you new?
>>35317549
Yes. Thank you for explanation.
>>35317569
Well, OK then.
>>35317502
Have you built up a tolerance?
>>35317137
Do you think maybe it could be a bit of a cycle?
Stress and anxiety are the number one biggest mojo killers.
You can't get it up because you feel stressed about it so you can't get it up because you're making yourself stressed about not getting it up etc etc.
You have to also consider what you consider a "healthy sex life" what sort of things turn you on? What turns you off? You may have tastes that very selct few have, you may be someone who has to be in love to have sex, you may just have to find what it is that touches the most intimate parts inside your sexuality.
>>35317796
Now, there is definitely a good portion of performance anxiety in the mix because of all my past failures.
I consider a healthy sex life to be able to get it up with a female partner. I don't have any weird fetishes to be honest. A nice butt like your pic related should be enough to get me going but it doesn't. Or it does until it's time to put my penor in her vagina. Then it becomes dead and it's impossible to reanimate my dick.

on a scale of missionary position sex with the lights off to >>>/d/ how weird is the stuff you guys with porn induced ed?
>>35317874
Theres your problem then.
Your emphasis in your head throughout the experience is something like
"Oh God oh God it's going to happen again"
Then it happens.
Am I somewhere on the ball here?
>>35317970
/d/ is no where near the end of that spectrum baby girl.
>>35318041
yeah, it's pretty much like this. But you know, the first times, I didn't have any anxiety, I found my partners attractive, I enjoyed myself and it still happened. But now, of course, I would be super nervous. I even went to a prostitute two years back and I couldn't get it up for ten minutes while she kept sucking on my flaccid, it was super embarrassing...
>>35317942
There have been several studies done on st johns.
Look it up.
>>35316601
Really enjoyed this. Thanks anon.
>>35318063
Its the most disturbing of anything that isn't legally questionable that I'v seen.
>>35318116
Interesting.
(Well not for you but for me)
Have you tried kegels or viagra?
>>35318258
>mfw I took viagra before going to said prostitute
>mfw I have no face
I currently started kegels and reverse kegels. But I can get erect because since I abstained from porn and masturbation I get regular morning wood and even had wet dreams... It's so odd and complicated... When I was 16 and couldn't wait to get laid, I have never thought my sex life would be completely dead for all my life. I probably would have killed myself right away
>>35318329
I'm honestly holding out for you to meet some absolutely amazing woman who you meet in the most random of places, whose eyes are the first thing you notice and you can't stop thinking about her afterwards and you start a very cheery and happy courtship and you both wait a long time to take your clothes off with each other because you both know this is who you're supposed to be with and itll be awkward and any at first but she'll slowly slip out of her clothes in front of you, smiling from the very middle of her soul and she draws closer to you, her eyes never leaving yours, her lips slightly parted with an expression of pure affection. Then she places a hand on your chest, fingers scraping your skin slightly, feeling your heartbeat and then you sustain the most ridiculously rock solid and powerful erection and the two of you just fuck each others brains out until the neighbours call the cops.
>>35318413
That made me smile irl and cheered me up a great deal. Thanks for writing something heartwarming like that. I haven't given up yet. In fact, I'm looking forward to try dating again in 2016 after staying away from porn and masturbation for such a long time. If there will be any news, I'll let you know when I see your trip. Thanks again for the warm words. May the gains be plentiful for you!
>>35316452
Hey OP, over the past 5 years I've had to put up with psychotic episodes and PTSD. What helped me was having something to do when I feel like shit and accepting that there will be times I feel terrible and there's nothing I can do but keep going.

Fuck off
My mood changes all the time. I'm happy, confident and generally feeling good right after workout. Then it fades away during day.
I honestly haven't even talked with anyone really in 2 weeks.
Maintenance/lean bulk. Cutting is a downer, minimize how often you need to do it.
