>>675439015
Okay OP, I have a few for you.

Do you just feel tired and disappointed? Isn't self-diagnosis bullshit? Has the psychologist gone to another psychologist to actually get this confirmed?

Why are you depressed? Divorce? Breakup? Friend/family death? Monetary problems?

1. I feel depressed; it's very different than tired and disappointed. I'm not disappointed in any way; my life is actually pretty great.

2. Yes, absolutely.

3. Yes, several, a psychiatrist, therapist, a multitude of specialists, as well as my normal doctor.

>>675439359
Probably.

>>675439296
Because they spend all their time analysing who they are and how they feel. We have so much time and we have it so good that we can spend way to much time wondering about how we feel and why we feel that. When you have potential that is almost limitless and you spend your whole waking day not doing shit you get depressed.

>>675439244
Its hilarious how delusional you are. You're a chaturbate whore that can't keep a relationship because you're psycho. You're nothing more.

It makes me glad to see your threads every day.

>>675439244
OP, I wonder what kind of depression I have. I have been having suicidal thoughts from ever I was young. ( When I was 9 I always thought about my dad crashing the car and all of us dying). It comes to a point where I feel comfortable thinking about death all the time but Im not so much suicidal anymore. I've went to plenty psychologists and they always thought I was fine at the end of the run, but I always end up in the same spiral again.

>>675439378
Now I get it. Sorry, too old for that series.

Is it good?

>>675439420
Actually, that's not the reason. It's generally compassion fatigue.

>>675439432

>>675439468
Sounds like melancholia.

Drink everyday and do drugs

There's nothing "clinical" about depression. It's just an emotion.

As for "genetic causes" ... GTFO.

No...sadness is an emotion. Depression is a state of mind.

Comparing them is like comparing a rainy day to the monsoon season; one will pass shortly, the other is a way of life.

As for your statements about genetic causes, a large percentage of depression cases are clearly inherited, much like alcoholism cases. So yes, it is genetic.

What is that even in reference to?

Why don't you go visit a real doctor, like a psychiatrist?

>>675439015
I'm curious what your symptoms of depression are, OP.

I've often thought that I'm depressed, but that's only when I have the time to stop and think. When I'm not doing anything and become introspective.

What is it like for you, OP? Do you feel like everything you do is meaningless? Do you think you'll never be worth anything? Are you frustrated that everything that used to make you happy washes over you as numb apathy?

I wanna know how you'd word it.

All psychologists have a screw loose themselves.

Does human bullshit depress you?
We live an infinitely big Universe, with infinite time for fragments of itself like us to understand itself as fragment of eternal infinity. But you're depression really does not matter in the great scheme of things.

Even if humans wanted to leave earth. The aliens which i have seen are far to advanced and powerful to let us leave. So even if you see your singular life is unfullfilling or emotionally draining is irrelivant to the entirety of existance.

You should be happy you get to be one of the mindless drones that knows absolutely shit all about our purpose on this planet and are ignorantly and blissfully unaware of what horrors are orbiting our planet. Compared to the truth, H.P lovecraft is a goodnight bed time story.

Doesn't having a mundane life at least cheer you up even a little bit? OP do you medicate with weed and lols?

I have seen horrors that would drive a * sane* psychologist as you people would often like to believe you are into another dimension of thought where you would question schizophrenia or skitzotypal disorders.

You ever been abducted OP? You ever talk to a pacient that was Abducted?
You ever talked to someone who saw someone else abducted? I'v seen an abduction. In fact, i have such a strong faith in my connection to the true elder gods i can summon them when needed to torment or make them go missing.
Have you ever met a person who could be described as a demonic occalist without it actually being demons but just being an advanced alien species?

I'm sure your life is so boring OP that you feel life is meaningless. I assure you, that it can get quite ugly. To the point you won't even remeber what depression was, as you stare out your window well you sleep hoping nothing will peer back at you.

>>675439015
i used mdma for years and years, went into depression, have been on&off antidepressants. i feel like i'm unable to be happy in general. living to old age is unfathomable. the only logical choice is to maximise happiness per time/effort by doing as much drugs as possible and committing suicide.

>>675439951
Interesting way of describing it. Maybe I'm being nitpicky; maybe yours is the best way to put it. Maybe you can't give me what I want.

But could you be more specific in your response to depression? Is it apathy and numbness in regards to the world around you? Is it inadequacy? Self-sabotage?

I've had people who are depressed tell me it's like they're wading up a raging river with people on the sides telling them it's easy to get out of the water. I've had people tell me it's like every emotion feels like a weight; happiness, sadness, anger, all just adding up and pushing them down until they want to give up.

But none of those really point to a cause. Just a reaction. Is it that you can't really point to a specific cause?

The universe is not infinitely big; the observable portion of the universe is contained in a light cone.

Time is not infinity; the big rip and heat death put a definite end to it.

Eternal infinity? Are you 12 and listening to emo music?

We're going to mars soon; doesn't seem like we'll be stopped.

Weed doesn't do shit for me

I've dealt with abductee's. It's a mental disorder with an identifiable cause that isn't fully understood, but it is widely recognized. Sounds like you are one of them.

I suggest anti-psychotics; they work well in trials.

I don't feel life is meaningless, so your entire exercise was worthless.

>>675440360
MDMA is neurotoxic and can burn out dopamine and seurotonin receptors. That's why you are unhappy. Because you fucked your brain up using drugs.

>>675440548
Thanks for the response. Even if not faggot OP. I find depression interesting because I can't tell if I have it (because self-diagnosis is bullshit) or if it's just... IDK. Some form of apathy or sociopathy.

As is common with threads on /b/, it appears that OP is not only a psychologist but also a physicist, a medical doctor and a pharmacologist.

This is exactly why you are a mindless drone.
You're a psychologist, not a scientist. Saying the universe isn't infinitely big based on your regurgitated garbage doesn't meant shit in reality.

Honestly nothing you say's really matters. You're just a legal drug dealer that isn't a pharmacist.

So why are you so depressed? Is it because you're a drone with zero originality? Funny you think abductions are just a disorder. Maybe, you should go missing for a while. Get some genuinely horrifying memories and a taste of true power.

You're whole current view point on reality will be shaken. I know you're to ignorant and naive to take any of these threats seriously. But the whole planet is going to get mass abducted very soon anyways. And once the planet is cleansed anything said and done now won't matter.

Also, Humans have not left Earth. The moon is still within Earths gravitational field. You can pretend all you want like you got a solid grip of reality but you don't.

Life is not meaningless, but you're existence is as a drug pusher for big pharma.

I don't think suicide is an answer to any problem. Yes to the second question. I often want to avoid all human contact. Being around people puts me on edge, even if I can navigate the situation well. I'm never relaxed in social situations. If a social situation lasts too long I try to find a way out of it. Yes to the third question but nothing severe (never molested or beaten). I think it'd be easiest to just say neglected.

Do you have symptoms beyond anhedonia? Anhedonia is anhedonia, not depression.

Depression has specific requirements for diagnosis, just like everything else.

Lack of energy? Sleep changes? Loss of interest? Feelings of guilt or worthlessness? Concentration problems? Anxiety? Lethargy? Suicidal ideation? Appetite changes?

Keep in mind I don't deal with physical pain constantly every day. And I don't have a frame of reference where I've felt such intense pain that all I could think of doing was killing myself in order to stop it.

As an escape from depression, or bad life situations, (which is my limited frame of reference) I don't think suicide is an option. It seems lazy.

I think i am in the same boat as you man, does it get better?

You choose to be happy or depressed. I choose to be happy. I'm happiest when I'm being a grouchy asshole, fucking, jerking off, hunting, fishing or building/making things. Find a fucking hobby.

>>675441682

Too disorganized to keep track of the red tape to help people get minimum wage jobs, "assimilate" back into society and not suffer in facilities, just want to put understanding of humanity and ability to freethink academically and constructively for some sort of ideal I'm not quite sure of yet am sure exists. I like the idea of behavioural research for curiosity sake but I don't want to be depressed with compassion fatigue, I get enough of that IRL.

At least with the social workers I've seen there more of mental health careers councillors then actual therapists.

Homeless Brit anon is trying to quit smoking by vaping, I did not give him the idea.

Where he'd smoke weed literally every day, and was on acid the first night we talked, he seems to be getting off of drugs completely. Even nicotine.

His life is full of good signs.

Guess I'll only post updates if something big happens from now on.

>>675441854
Yeah, anhedonia is why I have melancolia.

I also have mood blunting, weight loss (as you can plainly see in my picture), insomnia, restlessness to an extreme, no sex drive, and persistent fatigue.

All on top of being just normally depressed, IE, having a low mood that isn't responsive to positive or beneficial things.

Give me a 20 and I'll say no thank you.

>>675441857

>>675441926
No. That's literally the most ass backwards view of how moods work ever.

>>675442040
Yeah, except that literally just confirms what I said. I can't prescribe as I don't have an MD.

>>675442108
Wow. That sounds rough.

>>675442192
You are telling me I'm not depressed. Despite the fact I clearly have depression, experience it on a daily basis for years, have numerous health care professionals not just doctors diagnosing and treating me.

What are your credentials again?

>>675442282
That's good! Keep me informed, I love hearing about it in the morning.

>>675442192
Yeah OP is a drone. You won't hear anything authentically different from other carbon copies from this clone of a stereotype.

>>675442400
Wiggly wiggly woo!

Was that sufficient? Never heard a psychologist say that!

Also, you seem to think my current occupation is psychologist, when I'm actually a programmer. Not sure what kind of drone that makes me, alien-boy, but maybe a different one.

>>675442323
>You are telling me I'm not depressed
Yes
>Despite the fact I clearly have depression, experience it on a daily basis for years
Yes
have numerous health care professionals not just doctors diagnosing and treating me.
>Yes
You're just an autistic attention whore

How can I get a psychiatrist to prescribe me valium or xanax?
>inb4 don't

>>675442323
I don't think you're depressed but i believe you make other people in your life depressed. You're about as fun as fun as cleaning up dog shit and about as predictable as grass in spring.

>>675442323
>weight loss (as you can plainly see in my picture)
Explain to me how you can "plainly" see weight loss in one picture.

No, you'd have to post a second picture from a different time - preferably with your tits out.

I am currently prescribed 7.5mg of escitalopram every day. Since I started taking it my suicidal thoughts have been reduced, but I still think about suicide usually every day (before I used to think about suicide every 20 minutes).

Am I not on a high enough prescription? Will these thoughts ever go away?

>>675442323
its really rough. thanks again op. i'm off to the ER to get my stomach looked at. have fun at work

>>675442531
Yeah, I'm gonna just go ahead and ask again.

What are your credentials again?

>>675442542
You can't. Those are easily abused and obviously abused drugs. No psychiatrist will give them to you for no reason.

>>675442543
Again, what are your credentials?

And what are you even replying to?

>>675442574
You can see I'm rail thin?

>>675442590
You may need an adjustment; ask your doctor.

However, treatment may never remove them completely; it will reduce the severity by several orders of magnitude though.

Keep at it Anonymous! Good luck and god speed!
I'm rooting for your recovery, that's a really bad symptom

>>675442622
Be safe, and good luck.

>>675442590
I wouldn't bother asking OP since OP can hardly be taken seriously. Look at those replies. It's shameful.

>>675442590
You should talk to your doctor about it. The med isn't doing it for you, obviously - either he needs to increase it or try something else.

>>675442574
>preferably with your tits out
Kek
Do it whore

>>675442694
You can flipp over a chair and sit right on it potsy; she helped me.

>>675442692
Yes but what can I tell them so they will prescribe me valium.

>>675442827
Nothing. It's not prescribed much anymore and anything you do will be drug seeking.

Stop seeking drugs, dumbass.
