Depression occures when you're in the delusion that the world owes you more than it does.

Stop being weak as shit.

You'll move on eventually, even if it doesn't seem like it, even if you don't want to right now. Don't think you have to "get rid of" your emotions, let them happen, and eventually they will weaken on their own

worth living. I've been suicidal once, now i love life, things always get better by themselves. Just gotta stay strong. Sometimes life will come to a point that you will love it and you will never want to kill yourself. Take me as example.
>be me, 22, kissless, virgin, 120 kg at 1.77m(extremely overweight if you dont use the metric system)
>decide to go on a diet, barely eating anything except breakfast and dinner
>lost 40 kg in 1 year of diet
>be 23, now thin, decide to dress more classy. Random people that ignored/never spoke to me start saluting me at school.
>decide to install Tinder. Fuck 11 girls in 1 year. Some in weird places. At one time i was dating 4 girls. I sucked at talking to girls when i was a kid, so i decided to fuck it and talk to them like to a normal human, without cheesy shit, and going with the flow. It worked. Some girls didnt deserve my dick.
>8 march this year, i meet this random 8/10 chick. Not the sexiest, but the cutest. She's basically my soulmate, i love her, and i have never felt so loved in my life. Surely, from this point alot of stuff can go bad, but i'm willing to fight.

So, anon, never blast yourself. Fight. Fight for the stuff you want and you will get them eventually.

Talked to my ex for about two days.
Ended up telling her she didn't have to message me, she replied 'ok' and blocked me.

It still fucked me up a great deal though.

you just want attention, you aren't depressed. If you are truly depressed, you should get off of this cesspool of a website and make an appointment to speak with a therapist.
>>
>>687892468
People should not be treating depression like it's an attitude. It's a clinical disorder. There is no logical reason for it. Objectively, you could have a perfect life and still be an apathetic, depressive person who makes everyone around you feel terrible. I've read plenty of existential philosophy, where the point is to take pleasure in the fact that to live is to suffer, but it's not that simple. I feel better for a few days after reading such literature, but then it all just comes back to me being a sad sap who is on the verge of crying all the time, but never end up crying even if I actively try to.

So what are the difference between being depressed and feeling extremely apathetic and alone, I don't think I'm depressed but I just constantly feel like shit

I've been pretty upset today because I'm starting to realize what a true fucking autist I am. Unintelligent, my mind cannot comprehend or solve the simplest things and when I try my hardest to I just get fucking angry and give up. If I don't give up I just go zombie mode and my mind can't even grasp up and I end up being Patrick Star.
I CONSTANTLY make an ass of myself, no one fucking talks to me because I'm unapproachable and they have no reason to. Even all my "friends" are just giving up on me because there's nothing to even talk about with me and I'm just shitty in general. This is stuff I've been struggling with for years and I've kinda been in a numb kind of state for the past couple months and haven't been feeling like shit. Its been creeping back this week and all kinda hit me today. I spent 24 hours of the day alone. I'm too autistic to connect with anyone who might wanna talk to me/help me.
Anyways, how you doing anons? Here's a song for my fellow depressed mates

That's depression... and I share the same constant apathy. Any joy we experience is extremely short-lived and we always just return to obsessing about how futile life is and how absurd it is to delude oneself of anything otherwise.

About to reach my 2 year mark in the military. Lost my only girlfriend to some faggot who drives a miata. Had some hookups since I've been in, even one more serious one.

It'll be cool anon. Love can be whenever, but there are times to feel sad too.

>>687893060
I know that, we are actually pretty similar to be honest, but usually depression tends to be triggered by some kind of trauma or an event, although not always the case, i used to lurk feels thread's to be able to cry and vent a bit, now i just come here and try to help people to feel less shitty than me. I as well can be very happy at times but never stop hating myself, and although i have no reason to be sad, from times to times i get extremely depressed and then the next week im alright again, but it doesn't goes away.
>>
>>687893679
Well that actually describes me very well... Shit
>>
>>687892187
it may make you more depressed, but thats the only solution i had when i was depressed. You gotta find strength somewhere and use it to get over your depression. And i know how it feels to be depressed, i was in one since 6'th-7'th grade. One year i barely went to school, i was lucky i passed. Multiple reasons, not just for being fat. No father, verbally and mentally abusive mother, nobody to talk to, nobody loved me. I was the poorest kid in school. Thing is you just gotta use your depression to propell yourself out of it. Happiness will come. Sure, you might think you dont have that strength, but you actually do. I did, and i am the weakest person i know. You just gotta build yourself, your life, your happiness. Sometimes it will feel like your efforts are in vain, but you will succeed in the end.

That's the thing, the happiness is just a distraction. There will always be this underlying tide of sorrow that is waiting to resurface once the fog of joy dissipates; which it always does. Anything we do to distract ourselves self, such as reading, socializing, etc. is so superficial to the point that it makes us sick to have to push ourselves this hard to not be miserable. This is not a new and random phenomenon, it's something that's been around for a long time and will continue to linger for all our time to come.

I don't know if you've tried therapy or antidepressants, but I've tried both and they're absolutely laughable. I paid $175 an hour to have someone pretend to be my friend and to suggest "remedies" of which I'm already blatantly aware. And antidepressants are nothing more than placebos.
>>
>>687895113
You're wrong mate, successful persons still get depressed, it's not something that has any kind of relation to how great and fucking cool you're.

Being sad because you're poor and alone, or because your girlfriend dumped you does not mean you're depressed. The only trigger is the overwhelming despair you feel when faced with the most mundane daily occurrences.
>>
>>687895535
Same guy, antidepressants do work but the healthcare where you life sounds very expensive, you know, im actually in a constant state of "happines", i tend to act all smug and shit so people don't see through me, and i just laugh about this kind of situation im in.

My advice for anyone reading this, just laugh, even if shit hits the fan, laugh. Laughing is pretty much anything we can do besides crying, just laugh at how miserable we are, come on anon, just laugh with me.

"To be, or not to be- that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them. To die- to sleep-
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die- to sleep.
To sleep- perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub!
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause."
>>
>>687895302
i might be, i mean, my solution might not work for everyone. I just had to make myself happy by not caring, faking some confidence, and building my life brick by brick. You might be in a depression, you might think there is no way out of it, because you dont't see it. To get over depression it takes time, strength of character which you dont have but will get, finding the cause of it and fixing it.
>>
I've been clinically diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety since the age of 10, I'm 18 now going on 19 this year. I hate how I feel all day everyday from when it started but have no drive to fix it, I hate the girl I'm in a relationship with whenever she talks I just want to bang my head against a fucking wall. Recently each day that goes on I feel more and more tempted to end my life and I feel like I'll reach the official tipping point soon. Oh well.
>>
Can someone describe melancholy for me?
>>
>>687895925
Not really, you can be happy if you twist the things and make them look the way you want, for example, making something that should bring you down make you laugh or happy, i turnt my suffering into joy, it's still suffering but atleast it's fun now.

I've never had success with antidepressants, so maybe I'm just fucked in that regard. And you're right about laughing through the suffering. I try really hard to do just that. It's the only reason why I've made it this far. But sometimes you just can't, you know? Sometimes it's just not funny anymore.

Tried shrooms once, didn't get me that high, in fact felt terribly depressed.

I've lived that and numbing oneself actually freezes us in an emotional state for as long as we like. It's like life demands of us change but we have a little cave called drug-of-choice that we can hide in. Not to say that's all bad, but the longer we stay in one hole the more it begins to stink.

I get pretty depressed when I think about my daughter. See, when I was a kid I knew I was pretty screwed up in the head, so I decided early on that I was never going to have any kids. Then I met the girl of my dreams and she was dead set on having a baby girl, so I did what any dumb love-struck kid does; I gave her what she wanted.

But deep down in the cold pit of my stomach, I always dreaded the prospect of bringing into this world - well, another monster like me. I had a screwed up childhood, but I was screwed up to begin with. Just not right, you know? Fucked in the head.

For years it seemed that I was wonderfully wrong about my daughter, she was so happy and normal that I was almost ready to believe it might be true. But then she hit her 20's and - kaboom, my toxic contribution to the gene pool caught up with her all at once. Paranoid delusions, audio and visual hallucinations, suicidal depression, the whole nine yards.

I did this. Me, and with full knowledge of the risks. My daughter will probably never really be happy, and it is *absolutely* my fault. Actually, I think I might just go put my .45 in my mouth now.

I'm >>687895535 so I don't know if my therapist was just a quack or what. She's highly lauded by people other than professionals so I don't know why I found her so unhelpful.

>>687899251
How many sessions did you had with her? And hearing that you didn't seem to trust her might have been her fault and what made the whole thing fail.
>>
>>687886646
Listen here, motherfucker.

I didn't order her to stop talking to you, you fucking half breed. I advised her not to, because you are a selfish man-child that doesn't give a damn about whether she's happy or not, you only want her for yourself. You already said it when you said she's "your ideal woman". I make her happy, I loved her when no one else did, I took her in and supported her when she had nowhere to go. She looked for a friend in you, it was what she wanted, but you just had to pursue more than that, disregarding the fact that she is happy with me.

And then when she took my advice, starting to see you for the half-breed snake that you are, you have the nerve to say you've lost all respect for her. As if your respect fucking matters. You're the bottom of the fucking ladder.

I hope to cross paths with you one day. I will leave you black and fucking blue, bleeding, with broken bones, on the ground as I walk off with the girl of your dreams to head home and fuck her until she cums four times and passes out laying across me. Maybe I'll send you a picture.

You should let the depression take you. Give into the urge to end your own life. You'll never matter to her, or anyone else, and you really should just die. Alone. Quietly. Knowing she never loved you, and there is no universe in which she ever would.

There is no higher force or deeply in the universe engraved law that says that things always get better by themselves. Something terrible can happy any moment in your life just without any reason and there's no guarantee that there is gonna be any light at the end of your tunnel.

You know what she has to do. Don't leave her with no one like her.
>>
>>687899510
I had five sessions with her before I ended up moving to a different city, which ended it, even though I was going to end it anyway. It's not that I didn't trust her, it's just that she didn't offer me anything tangible. It's not even her per se it's just therapy in general. I don't see how talking to someone about how I'm pessimistic or cynical is going to change that. Maybe I'm being naïve and arrogant, but it certainly seems futile. I've heard every pick-me-up one-liner or one-hundred-liner before, but that's not going to change how someone fundamentally perceives his existence when all the dust settles. Do you know what I mean?

I used to lift, but I stopped because I didn't care anymore. Part of the problem is a lack of urgency and just physical weakness. Every task becomes so overwhelmingly exhausting that there was and is no way that I could muster up the strength to work out when I can barely drag my sullen ass across the street. No offence intended to you if you enjoy fitness, though.
>>
>>687899137
Mate, you have experienced all that she is feeling now many years before her, you have to stay with her, you can't chicken out, think about the kind of bastard you would become if you left your little baby girl deal with all this on her own while you could help her.
You must live for her.

That's the thing - she's not like me. I was not being whimsical when I said I was a monster. I am someone who is very good at looking and acting normal when I am very much not. That's not some kind of edgelord faggotry, it's just the way it is. I don't think I'm cool or special, just not normal. When I was 7 I tried to murder my family because I wanted to see what it would be like to burn everybody up in a fire.

She was never like that, never like me. She took after her mother, sweet and kind and innocent, only sees the best in people, even the worst people - even me. I've made sure they will be OK financially. But I am not the pillar of emotional support you might want to believe. I am not, because I am empathy deficient. What small part of me might pass for normal, grieves over what I have done, what I have damned her to. I am very tired of feeling this way.
>>
>>687900895
Anyways, you're genuinely good at writing pastas mate, keep it up
>>687900202
Usually the people that treat feel that can bond with me since im in the same situation than them, you know? i know what they feel and how they feel it, professional therapy is not something that will work in only 5 sessions, the therapist has to get deep inside you to find out what is triggering the depression.

27, no job, live with parents.

I have always aspired to make a living with illustration, I always was drawing shit as a kid and I was pretty decent.
At some point in my life I started drawing less and less, and eventually stopped for a very long time since it became increasingly stressful comparing myself to the artists I looked up to as I try to reach that level.

I blame myself every day for sitting on my talent and letting it rot, and now I've tried picking it back up only to continue to frustrate myself.
I want to work in video games, even had a temp job at a big studio for a time but my contract ended. My best friend of the same age has meanwhile surfed along the aligned stars of the cosmos straight into our dream job at a fantastic studio, one that seriously sounds like absolute candy land to work for. He's always telling me about the awesome shit that goes on at his office, and the awesome people he works with.

I wasn't ever surprised by his success, because he's a genius, and while I'm constantly told not to compare myself to others it's very difficult not to in a case like this.

I want to get better at what I do, but every time I try the sadness sets in, and I observe myself sitting alone in my fucking parent's house spending more time escaping into a video game than working to secure some kind of future for myself.
I can't remember the last time I was happy; I've always been a miserable sack of skin yet everyone in my life loves me and treats me well. I don't deserve any of it. They tell me how awesome I am all the time yet I can't even comprehend how they would think so.

I think about suicide every hour but I know I would never actually do it. Partly because I'm a pussy and not convinced that it would solve anything for me anyways, and partly because my family doesn't deserve that horror.

I feel like a slug, constantly ashamed of my situation, my age, and now my weight is creeping up on me.

I can barely get out of bed anymore.

Take it from a man with no father - it's best that you're there. I feel a very odd feeling towards mine, a strong undying love for something that isn't there to receive it. It is an indescribable feeling.

I'm not saying you're le edgy xD, it's possible to feel things like that in a genuine way in the real world. I'm just saying that more than anything I love my father, and he'll never know, and that is a terrible feeling. And your daughter loves you the same. The difference is, you're around.

Love is a funny word. I used to wonder if I would ever feel that Disney magical, breathless wonder, "twitterpated". Started to wonder if it even existed. Then finally it dawned on me: it does exist, mine is just broken.

So I did something else, I substituted. Where others see love as some sort of magical warm fuzzy, I see it as an action item, a verb. I love someone by doing; giving them a sandwich that I wanted, or the best piece of fruit, or taking the cookie that dropped on the floor for myself even though they would totally never know.

So that's my way of loving someone. Kind of lame I guess but it's what I have to work with. So, yeah - I love my daughter, I love my wife. That's really the only reason I'm still here I guess. But I'm old and tired and sad, and I think it's about time.

I turned my depression into passive aggressiveness
Seems to be working well
>>
>>687901416
There is nothing triggering my depression though. No matter what, there exists in me an outright disdain for daily life and an inability to take pleasure in things that ordinarily give people pleasure. I'm not searching for "meaning", nor am I myopic enough to be convinced of any such thing.

There is no repression here. My life is fantastic on paper. This doesn't change the fact that everything I see and do makes me feel so unbearably awful that I don't know what to do with myself. I'm sorry for being so obstinate, but it's been so long without any result that I've come to accept things as they are. I'm open to change, but nothing seems to help.
>>
>>687902256
Not everyone is made to be great in the area that we must aspire to be good in. Talents, drive and luck all play a part. Perhaps its better to put the past behind and concentrate on something that you are good at and can tolerate it. The past cannot be changed but we can determine our future. Life is unfair, but we must make the best of it.

Stop taking medication, stop doing any drugs including tobacco, coffee, alchool, do regular exercise, have a regular sleep pattern (melatonin helps), drink veggie and fruit juices, eat dark chocolate 85% cocoa, eat loads of fish with omega 3, drink loads of water, dont eat junk food, dont masturbate too often and try to have sex with GF.

It's the right of every man to end his own life. You just get to. You didn't ask to be born. If you wish you weren't, you get too die.

You? You had a kid. You don't fucking get to die anymore. You belong to her. Everything you have, and everything you are, belongs to that little girl, now a grown woman. She didn't ask for her life either. You go on living. You do it. Every single goddamn day you can until your body fails you. But you don't have a choice anymore. Your mind doesn't get to fail you.

Live for your daughter, man. You fucking do it. You don't get to die until she does.

This is something I try to do as well, and it does make me feel better occasionally, but most of the time I feel so autistic that I can't even relate to people anymore and I end up recoiling and delving deeper into my own pit of incomprehensible woes. It's like what I was talking about earlier in terms of minute distractions that temporarily provide a thin veil of contentedness, only to be subsequently obliterated by the sadness monolith.

Should I seek for help guys? I mean from time to time I get depression and it was kinda common for me last 5 years , but this year seems to be worse than ever, usually it lasted 1 week and by the end of the week I would break and cry and after that the depression was gone for a couple of weeks more. But now it's taking like a whole month and it'd fucking everything, I'm about to get fired cos I can't focus on work, I can't study, my social skills are gone I can barely speak with someone closer without thinking what's wrong with me. I don't know what to do guys I'm scared that it goes even worse and I can't handle it

Yeah, you should, I had a similar thing, it started of very manageable i would sometimes get a bit down when i was on my own, but it just kept getting worse and worse at one point i didn't leave my room for a week, literally didn't leave i had to live of a box of biscuits because i was so miserable.

>>687905043
In the begginign was a mess, I replaced the regular meds with antihistamines that made me drowsy and what really helped was the exercise cause some days I felt really really tired and managed to get that wonderful sleep. I had mood swings for a while but because I noticed small changes every week, I was persistent. Also, my fight against substances in general, it was a pain but once again, getting better every week/month gave me strenght. Also, I was living in a extremely busy European city, everyone around me had bad habbits (inc drug abuse), so I decided to move out to another country with my GF. I now live near the countryside, I'm happy and I believe I cured my anxiety/panics attacks/depression.

Ive dealt with depression all my life, Im 35 now. Ive had years where I woke up and the first thought in my head was to kill myself. There is a solution to this problem. If you're depressed, you need a goal, you need a reason to live. Depression is your mind's way of telling you you're fucking up. For me, I quit drinking, started working out, and took up programming. It gave me shit to do and the working out made me attractive and more energetic. I know it sounds like a cliche but its true, it works. You can turn depression into an asset, unless you just like to be sad like a little emo fag.
>>
>>687910138
I got a goal already, one that I set few years ago and been working on it , even when everything seems to be working I keep getting depressed for no reason, and I can't get out of my mind the idea that I am not good enough no matter how hard I try. Even if I try to think that not been the best at something is not wrong, something still tells me that there is no point and I should give up

You have to set a goal to stop feeling this way.

Thanks for the correction. English is not my native as you can see. Altho Im 80% sure he will have some short of breakdown when the getting laid / love hype fades out and realise that everything was fake.

Thats part of the process. You have to constantly assure yourself that youre doing the right thing, and that one day youll get to where you want to be. This shit doesnt happen over night, but eventually you get there. Ive found that the harder you work, the less depressed you get.

Just a general question here- do you consider yourselves organized people? Are your living spaces clean? I spent near the whole damn day cleaning my place up and putting shit away.

Hey guys, I turned 21 in January, Until that point I had never even held hands with a girl, I've had two relationships this year, and both ended because the girl cheated on me. Am I doing something wrong, or do I just have shit luck

Young women are just whores, straight up. Once you hit 25 they start thinking about marriage and kids and the tables start turning. Its life, its something you have to go through.

Well, his current happiness is not fake, but his happiness doesn't mean you can't be happy yourself.

>>687911914
That happened years ago, Tumblr got burnt and SJW scolded by tumblr users themselves.

I would say shit luck.

I mean, they can't ALL be whores

Maybe it's the girls I go after, I like Tiny and Petite with lots of tattoos and piercings

It's not as simple as just setting a goal and sticking to it. When you're utterly despondent, you can't physically endure the agony of pursuing your stupid fucking programming or working out or whatever retarded hobby you've forced upon yourself in order to pretend you're a happy normie.
