depression is repressed anger, and if you fail to express that anger then it only continues to grow. By forcing yourself to emote and be honest with your emotions, you can effectively beat and keep depression away for good.

>>661398187
Realizing you have a problem and vowing to fix it is easy part. What truly is difficult is actually going through with the sometimes several year long process of fixing them [the problems]. I imagine most of us have covered some distance on that road towards a somewhat normal life, but it's easy to lose your bearing and easier still to fall back to what brought you there in the first place. I'm not sure most of us will ever get there, but it gets a bit easier the further you go. At least that is what I'm telling myself.

no, not easy. I suffer from severe chronic depression since I was 16. im 24 now. I tried meds but it made everything worse. went through addiction phase and homelessness...wasn't easy, still isnt easy. i live with the consequences of my own bad decisions, a broken family, insecurity etc etc. the only thing I can do is try to make my life better and not allow myself to fall into the vortex of negative thinking. one day I told myself that I will live happily from that day forth. obviously it is unrealistic, but I choose to not be victim to my own thoughts and instead use them to empower myself and others......so fuck off.

Okay seriously I have a family history of depression bipolar schizophrenia excetera excetera excetera you dont even want to know and now I live a perfectly normal life medication free because of one thing.

I manned up. I'm not saying it isn't real or that it isn't serious but i am going to say it doesn't matter. Not one damn bit. Get your ass up and make something of yourself. Doesn't matter if you want to or not it doesn't even matter if you can physically face that day... You f****** do it anyway. Soon as you manage that you will actually accomplish something. You will see that something actually happens in your life and it will make you happy again.

And if it doesn't make you happy that doesn't matter either. Roller coaster wouldn't be fun without ups and downs.

1) Contact your doctor
2) Say the words: I'm constantly low, I think I might be depressed.
3) Try to get him to prescribe http://www.drugs.com/citalopram.html
4) Eat them.
5) Start not caring as much.
6) Make changes to your life.
7) Stop eating them.

Good luck.

Depression comes with a lot of side affects.
Loneliness is by far one of the most prominent.
Considering that on the heirachy of needs.. mental and physical affection are right there at the core of it all. We are physical creatures. We need one another to survive. Denying that is denying humanity. If letting go of that makes you happier than what's the point. What's the point in living if you don't have a dick. Really.

No, it works for everything.
The only trick is that you have to do SOMETHING, as long as it's not wallowing in self-pity.
I can be something small, like going for a walk, or something bigger, like looking for a job.
It works every time.

Ever heard of a self fulfilling prophecy? You're in it.
You make yourself believe no one likes you and that you are a piece of shit no one desires, so you start acting like someone that no one likes or desires, even though it's fucking bullshit.

So why not try to reverse that thought? Thinking you are cool so you start acting cool. It may take some time, but it saved me from thinking being -thus- acting worthless.

How to win depression (simple mode)

-do things that make you happy

How to win depression (hard mode)

-stop things that make you sad or simply ignore them
-do things that make you happy

In all case it's quite easy. You can even make a schedule about what you should do to be happy every day.
>>
>>661398112
Something being misunderstood doesn't make it not real.
If your body doesn't get enough vitamins and/or your brain doesn't produce enough dopamine and 5-htp or whatever we call that depression.
>sell us drugs
That's the fucking problem. You assume that if someone's talking about depression you have to bring out the drugs.
The majority of depressed people could be treated with vitamin D. Of of the biggest depression causes is poor nutrition and a vitamin D deficiency. That's because a lot of the first world countries eat junk food and don't get enough sun.
People need to understand that depression is a real thing, but people are too ignorant to know what it even is. Depression exists the same way scurvy exists. Scurvy is a vitamin C deficiency. Do we give people anti-scurvy? Fuck no. Just suck on a lemon and your scurvy is going to be cured.
>>
>>661398766
This

>>661403657
Anything.
Do anything that's not sitting in your foul smelling room thinking about where it all went wrong.
Go outside for 30 minutes; enjoy the air.
Watch a nature documentary; marvel at the wonders of life.
Throw out all of the junkfood in your fridge; make a fresh start.

It doesn't have to be ground breaking. It doesn't have to be revolutionary. Just do anything. ANYTHING

I'm sorry I can't help you with the specifics, but I hope you'll figure it out some day.
I'm going to bed now. Now, the rest is up to you and I genuinely hope you'll get happy.

Good luck anon.

>>661404696
If you have depression you can't enjoy things you'd normally enjoy. To enjoy something your brain needs to produce dopamine. Your brain can't produce dopamine if your diet is lacking and you're not getting the right proteins responsible for making dopamine.

Whenever I feel depressed, I do not allow myself to be alone. Me being depressed and alone leads to suicidal thoughts and I can't have that when I am not done living yet.
Things usually tend to feel brighter if I'm with people, if not I tell them I'm feeling depressed and talk things out.
>>
>>661404984
If you need to start with walking, just walk. Eventually try jogging, it doesn't have to be for a long time. You'll slowly see improvements, and that, along with slowly improving appearance and physical health, will build confidence and self-esteem. Exercising is also great for blowing off short-term anger and frustration, as you can channel those emotions into physical exertion instead of sadness and hopelessness.

Freezing cold showers

Get a 5 minute timer and play this while you do your freezing cold shower.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BIRJMESl4U8

Focus, let go, be in the moment, enjoy the discomfort it's not every moment you get a chance to feel reality, almost finished, 4 minutes and 30 seconds to go, don't slack off now your getting closer every second, breath in breath out, you cannot feel your skin any more and that's fine, keep going 2 more minutes, you got what it takes, breath in breath out, notice how you shake, keep going 1 more minute, it's getting easier now, you could do this all day if you wanted to.

The timer has beeped and you're mind is clear. You've conquered the mountain.

>>661403657
Not him, but how about going for a walk, look for something that interests you and has to do with more people, which will boost your chances of curing yourself from whatever you're sick with. Didn't work? Go for another walk, this time somewhere different, and think every possible way you could make yourself feel better. Remember, every possible way, not just the cheapest or easiest way to merely forget about the problem. If you're willing to change, you have to take risks, sometimes big ones. Finally, when things go bad, clench your fists and keep seeking what you're looking for. Godspeed, anon. Have a good night.

>>661397468
I think of murdering people everyday, I always think that way ever since I've gone to depression. It helps because why would you kill yourself and disappear without leaving hundreds if not thousands of dead people behind?

Well, work on fixing it. The fact that you realize what the problem is, means that you can find ways to fix it. The process of fixing your shyness might take time, but it will happen. You just have to start and dedicate yourself on fixing it, no matter the hardships you might face. And don't worry if at first you don't succeed. Try again, and again. As much as it takes. If you keep striving to become a more sociable person, you WILL make it. Also, going anywhere is fine, as long as it doesn't make you feel gloomy.

Is citalopram really that good? My friend was on them for a while and she said they practically saved her life, as she had attemtped suicide a couple of times. I'm still debating whether to go on meds or not. Part of me thinks I need to, because it's got to the stage where I just feel numb to everything; I don't really get enjoyment from anything, and yet I have no motivation to try do anything about it.

But the reason I don't want to go on drugs is because I don't want to a) have whatever side effects they come with, as I've heard the usual horror stories, and b) I feel like if I have to give in and take meds then I'm letting the depression take over me. Or like I'm admitting to myself "I'm depressed so I have to take this shit" rather than be like "I'm depressed but I'm coping without them."

citalopram is shit. im taking 40mg of celexa (name brand) right now with latuda (anti psychotic mood stabilizer used in the treatment of schizophrenics and those suffering from bp I disorder) on a low dose 40mg. shit doesnt work. im still chronically depressed. it just makes you not be able to express your emotions and cry anymore. you basically end up a asshole who cant stand or empathize with people any more.

By keeping busy. For me, it doesn't matter what it is, be it video games, watching a movie with my gf, reading a book, etc, just something to keep my mind going.

I've been off and on meds for it since I was about 12 (23 now) and they only somewhat help me. I went through the whole counseling bullshit, cutting, smoking pot, and none of that really helped. I know that it's shitty advice but that is what works for me.

I don't feel like counselling has helped. I've been a couple of times but whenever I've been I've generally been in a good mood. So I've just been like "Yeah I feel like shit constantly, but right now I'm good, so bye". Plus I kinda know a lot of the reasons why I'm depressed, so chatting to someone doesn't really help me. Like I know I don't take compliments well and only listen to criticism because I'm constantly criticising myself so I'd only agree with people criticising me or whatever. It's nonsense, and I know it's hurtful, but I just do it.

Does that help much? The big problem for me with all these pills people sprout on about helping them, is that I can't get them, like i'll go to my doctors and she'll just say it'll go away (depression.... that i've had since I was 14, 19 now) really annoying.

Very similar to me anon I feel for you, I've been to counselling but it hasn't helped me, plus when I say i feel like shit and low, and have been for years, they don't do fuck all about it, nor do they write it down or ask why i may feel like this. It's very frustrating. I really want to prescribed pills and just drown my life out with opiates and whiskey

I know this is a cliche answer, but going to the gym and working out totally helps me, and going out with friends, anything that distracts me from thinking about what i am depressed about. And after awhile.. time will heal you.

Agreed. The one I saw at my uni basically said "Oh well maybe seeing our student advisors would help, they can help you come up with a daily plan to organise your time better". All because I happened to say that it can affect my ability to do my uni work - which it does, but only because I'm doing creative writing and when you're bummed the fuck out it's impossible to write.

Completely fucking useless help, they were. Might just go back to my GP and try meds for a bit.

Ahh, well i'm in college we don't have anything like that I mean we kind of do but not anything special just extra help with assignments kinda shit, anyway, oddly enough my G.P is the one I almost had to force to get me a referral for counselling and even then it was the lowest grade therapy you could get, neither my g.p or my 'counsellor' take me seriously, they don't even do the routine doctor routine of throwing pills at me... they just give bullshit advice.

I know this, I have been heartbroken and down for years, after a while u seem fine, you cope with everything, accept your fate and shit but that's no way you live, you gotta try something, and once something snaps and you break free from this shit you realize how bad it really is to live like that.

See, I went to the gym for a while. And sure, it was nice knowing I was getting physically fitter. But I'm a skinny, unattractive fuck, so it's not like I was going to actually get "built" or whatever - I only went to improve my general health, cardio and strength. Once Uni is over I'll go back as I don't have time now, but going to the gym/exercising never made me feel better mentally. Though, learning the violin has been helping, even if it's ridiculously fucking hard

For me, depression is usually kept in check by staying really busy and having that busy-ness involve other people. When I am alone with my own thoughts for too long (like more than a day or two) my mind will autopilot into the darkness of self deprecation and other bad shit.

Helping other people with things also tends to raise my own morale, especially when I am in a deep spiral.

At the end of the day, I view depression like treading water in an ocean -- its an always present, lingering force that is easier to ignore or keep in check when I avoid situations that would obviously trigger it. For me, I obviously try to have a constant stream of work or social stuff revolving around me. Living in isolation for even a few days would throw me off.

Pot and exercise.

Just started going to the gym 2 weeks ago and I already feel like a new person. Gonna see about weening off of the meds in a few weeks. Also, try and stay out of the house. Depression will make you want to stay shut in, but that creates a vicious cycle.
>>
>>661415463
I always found staying busy the best thing, and I generally say this to anyone in threads like this/on /adv/ - keep your mind completely consumed on a task. Something you can learn, something you can come back to daily and repeat/improve on - like learning an instrument, or a language, or about space or biology or learn to cook or anything. Engross your mind in something so that whenever you're not doing that thing, your mind won't be thinking "I have nothing to do so I'll be depressed", it'll be thinking "I can't wait to try out this new technique I learned for the guitar" or whatever.

>>661415557
It's a fucking joke how expensive it is. If it was useful then it would be worth it, and sure it might be useful for some people. But I swear half the time you pay that much for them to turn around and say "Get meds through your GP". Pointless.

Working out is okay, but I find that being physical in a group has a much higher positive benefit. For me, I joined an MMA gym. The great thing about that place is that it is super close-knit and I'm pretty scrawny, so they made it their mission to help me not be a pussy.

Get a new fucking doctor. She sounds like a complete retard.

I've been thinking about that actually recently. I enjoy watching MMA, and some other people I know do stuff like that. I find the gym boring, but maybe a physical based activity like that might be more worthwhile. And like you said you get into a community and they're probably used to skinny people who come to them to try gain confidence/fight depression. Good shout anon, glad to hear someone has found it useful!

Do it! My experience has been that if you go in there with an honest attitude about where you currently stand physically, and that you want to improve everything, they will really take you under their wing.

Another note: You don't give a fucking fuck about whatever you are depressed about when someone is trying to strangle you. All of your worries disappear, its kind of an amazing feeling if you don't get your ass kicked.

Its easy to hold that perspective for an hour or two, but impossible to totally internalize. Whenever someone tells me this, after feeling like I've been having a civil war in my head, I kind of get pissed, because I am in a lot of pain. Depression is weird like that.

MMA is really just a mix of a bunch of martial arts. Look up whatever is available in your area and dive deep into it, just make sure that it is a serious gym. You def don't want to put a deposit down, only to realize that you've signed up for elementary school children's karate. They are all pretty awesome in their own ways.

Boxing can get scary if you fuck up, I mostly do BJJ as its mostly grappling. I can't show up at work with a busted face.

>>661419039
That's my problem, I hate sharing how I really feel. I usually hide my shitty emotions until I have a melt down. It's probably the most mentally unhealthy thing to do. I don't understand why depression has such a stigma attached to it, yet it controls me.
