Get insurance, go to a psychiatrist, get wellbutrin. its a dopamine/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. enjoy the energy and carefree attitude and motivation. then go to a psychologist. talk about shit. feel better. thats what i did. im off the wellbutrin now and just take adderall (prescribed cocaine). its great.

I try to put things in perspective and think of things for example:

-Not crippled or have any sort of physical ailment

-Not hideously disfigured

-Not living in nigger african village were they hack each others limbs off with machetes

Then you just kind of go from there. Just try to make the best of things in the situation that you may be in and that's all one really can ask for.

Depression is a problem with your way of thinking and your neurotransmitter levels being off. your way of thinking is affecting your neurotransmitters, and your neurotransmitters are affecting your way of thinking. this can be triggered by things in your life, or by nothing at all. Like i said above. Get insurance, get an antidepressant (or dont) but at least see a psychologist. while also hitting the gym, being active, and eating right. Do all that for at least a 3-4 months and you'll guarenteed feel better. I haven't posted in about 4 years but depression is a soft spot of mine
>>
I embrace hopelessness.
Lowering my expectations helps me accept my lot in life.
Sometimes I look at the balcony and contemplate jumping, then I remember that there's a chance I'd survive so I might as well not make it worse for myself.
Nobody regrets suicide, but there seems to be mixed emotions about attempted suicide.

Other than that, I just wait it out. I take the pain and just wait it out.

This is a life-long condition with no cure. Severe depression is not a temporary problem, it's a chronic disability which greatly lowers a person's quality of life.

Check'd

Also, are you me? This is exactly what I do. I usually embrace the fact of the lowered expectations with alcohol.
Alcohol makes the depression worse, but makes the acceptance easier, it's a type of destructive cycle, but it's just how I deal with things.
It's my firm belief that I should most likely not reproduce (if I even can), based on the fact that depression runs extremely deep in my family. I don't want my children to face the same fate as I.
>>
>>688284375

>>688286874
I spot a logical fallacy.
Not being worse doesn't make something good.

"doctor, my head hurts"
"look at all these pictures of children with amputated limbs. Don't you feel ashamed for wanting attention when they've already gone through so much more pain?"
"That's bad, but my head still hurts."
"If you can't have compassion for these people, why should I have compassion for you?"
"I'm not saying I don't, but their being in pain doesn't stop me from being in pain. We both are hurting. It's not a competition."

I don't drink (addictive personality, easier to never start than give it up) but I like to say "alcohol may not be the answer, but it is a solution" because that's a chemistry joke.

I have mixed feelings regarding offspring. On the one hand, life sucks. Why would I want to put them through that?
On the other hand, a lot of the reason for it sucking is environmental. That might change for them. Or maybe they'll get lucky and evolve an immunity to extreme depression.
But even though I'm so sad, I'm a pretty alright guy. People like me are good for the world, I think. There should be more of us. And if I don't reproduce then I'm leaving the Earth to... whoever else is having kids.

There's this odd battle between "nothing matters" and "I can't stop caring"

OP here...

i've sobered up some...

I thank everybody for posting their feedback... it really helps as someone out there really is listening. /b/ may be a dark fucked up place, but we are still very much alike in many ways.

I know my depression (if even that) is nowhere near what some others are... but it is a dark place I do not want to go... I think it's just loneliness, not getting out of the house, and just treating myself like shit (eating poorly, not exercising... etc...)

Thanks /b/ros

thoughts on citalopram? Gf has been struggling with depression for last 18 months, went to doctor and psychiatrist etc who put her on it for about 3 months which took her away from being suicidal, but completely flattened her moods to a constant low but not suicidal. She stopped cold turkey without telling anyone a couple weeks ago and has had withdrawal etc, and now is again horribly depressed. Dont know whether she should be getting back on it or something else or nothing or...

I pre-emptively treat it with:

>Regular exercise
>Regular social interaction
>Regular sunshine
>Good diet
>Good sleep

If you're depressed you're almost certainly lacking in one or more of those areas. We know this to be true yet you faggots will still make excuses and complain that you're a unique special depressed snowflake who can't get with girls or talk to people or you're stuck in your bedroom or agorophobic

Stop studying and go socially interact and fail and look like an idiot. Repeat 100x til you can hold a rivetting conversation with a stranger

Yes, it's hard, yes it sucks, yes you feel like a loser often. Welcome to life, it's the game that everyone else is playing every day.

Also try meditation, it helps you feel less like a jerk when you fuck up.

As for socializing, a good place to make and find friends and peers without all the scary shit is hobby & interest groups. Take up something easy and cheap like origami or photography or whatever and go meet people into it. Tell them you're new and shit and more looking to make friends ??? shared interests and profit

Also good job not being a dick

i found dropping the drugs and alcohol , taking a chance and fucking off to start a new life elsewhere was what was needed.

Its so easy to mope around feeling like death with 100% focus on how miserable you are . Friends feel like scum because although they listen they never really get it that internally you are destroyed . The same triggers that bring on the misery surround you and repeat daily so fuck it and opt out . Move , go find a job and place to live elsewhere . Friends will soon be found and the old friends network is still there in the backround at weekends when company is important . In time the culture shock alone will dominate your mind and help bring a different outlook on life and if it really doesnt work then you can always move back .

Worked for me

Just recovering from my fourth major episode. Dealing with it since I was 17. OCD makes it worse. Well, how do you deal with it? Once you know how it works it'll get better. Your brain chemistry is fucked. So do the following: get medication, there are good anti depressants out there nowadays. In the beginning you may suffer from anxiety, get a mild sedative for that. Once you're out of the worst, start a therapy. Go there, work on yourself, start getting things done again. It'll get better over time. Most important: don't drink ANY alcohol, it'll make you feel better for the moment but will also fuck your brain chemistry up even worse. Drugs in general interact with dopamine/serotonine levels in your brain. You don't need that, if you don't want to hang yourself while being hung over one morning. This is the best advice you can get on a shitty board like that. Also what others here might have said: do sports, work out, lose or gain weight, get a gf or fuck random chicks. Try to sort out what depresses you. Or just hang yourself for the easy way out.

hi /b/ros

being slightly depressed is really fucked up if you are self employed and reasonably successfull, because you work a week, get enough money to live a month, fuck everything up, lie in your bed for a week, get back up on your feet, assemble the fuck-up again (which sucks) and continue, not going anywhere, not enjoying the free-time and just wasting your life

on paper everything is great, which makes you a giant faggot

on that note, i have to shower, get something to eat, which will probably help to do something today :)

I pretend to be happy, my wife left me about 2 weeks ago. Everyone thinks I'm dealing with it amazingly since she was a cheating whore. She also took my child with her (to be fair she is being good, letting my skype her most nights) but since my daughter is only 13 months old, after a week of not skyping yesterday (I'm deployed) my daughter didn't recognise me at first.

I'd never kill myself, my daughter needs me, if not now, she'll need me when she's older. But I feel like an empty shell.

Moral of the story, OP, is don't worry. All love dies, yours will too.

You have a good point to make and you could probably help a few people out in making it, but to someone who may have been reaching out during a low point in their life, you originally came across as a bit of an ass-hat.

Don't Anon. Just don't. If you've got a few spare bucks and time on your hands, go see a movie, take a trip to the country or the coast, get some clean air in your lungs.

There's something in life for you too, Anon. Don't end it.

I don't.

I refuse to take any form of medication or drugs that I will have to be dependent on.

I can't ever sleep. On the rare occasion that I do sleep I am late to work. I just got my second written warning so if it happens again, which it probably will, I'll get fired.

I won't be able to afford the rent in my house and I'll have to live on the streets.

I have been telling myself for the last decade that one day things will be alright. But as soon as that is in sight something happens and it gets further and further out of reach.

Right now I see a couple of options. The first is to commit a crime and go to jail or a mental asylum. I could also get revenge against the person who molested me. Win - win.Then I don't have to worry about work or paying bills. I can go there, get my head straight and then come out with a fresh start.

The second option is to become an hero. Right now that seems like the best option.

You've got to ask yourself if the goal is worth the struggle. Is twenty years of happiness worth twenty more years of sadness and anger.

Third option is confront the demons in your past which is causing you depression.

Then realize that you were a victim and have overcome your trauma and gotten this far and make peace with your past.

Then you could aim to be in work on time and impress your boss by showing commitment.

You could also find hobbies that allow you to be creative.

Or you could be a whiny little bitch and waste the tiny amount of life you have on this planet being angry.

Well, I start the day by writing a journal of the previous day, logging thoughts and feelings. After that I excercise for about 40 mins to an hour. I try and ensure they my diet is good and I avoid all day time naps, I had an issue with an affinity to sleep and stay up late. So getting over 7 hours of sleep is important. This has worked for me for the past 3-4 weeks, but I've been sick and I think I'm sinking back into depression. I will know for sure once I get over this cold. I've also been getting a lot into self-studying subjects.

But I just start this in one day, it started because my brain was overthinking and one day something just clicked and I was able to build around it.

During the day I don't have much to do in between semesters so I watch anime or I write. If I'm sick of being indoors I go to the library or go read at a park or something. If I have a few bucks to spare I got to a local coffee shop and get a huge cup of coffee so I can sit there reading alone for a bit. I've been feeling better but last time I felt like such a NEET. I couldn't sleep or I slept too much. I could barely eat and I felt like I had taken way too many Benadryl because I could barely do anything. My point is that there is no escape, only pretending to have fun or be happy to make your forget the numbing pain you feel.

EMT fag here.
If you DO decide to end it, just jump off something insanely high.
Take a bus to the city and find a tall building or bridge or anything above 10 stories and just dive off head first.

Pills are a notoriously ineffectual method of suicide. You're likely to fuck up your liver/kidneys and be hospital ridden in agony/humiliation.
You pussy out when the pain gets bad enough, or somebody finds you and calls the ambulance.

But jumping... that's a solid bet right there.
Better even than a gun.
If you're going to become an hero, do it via heights.

>>688284375
Seek professional help.
Depending on what type of depression, what the underlying causes are and how severe it is, you ought to get specific help (cognitive, regular, etc.)

My gf suffers/suffered from depression. Currently she is receiving professional help. She has tought me a lot about it. It is hard to "regular" people to understand and comprehend what depression is. I have been with my gf for just above 8 months now and I still don't fully understand how one gets a depression. I understand the underlying causes, but actually having it, I cannot comprehend.

One of the most important things I've learned about people with depression, is to not get offended if they treat you differently (badly). It is too effort to explain this atm but I can try if anyone want to. Also, noone but a professional should say "Oh just do this and this it will make you happy" or "just focus on something else" beacuse it means jack shit.
I do have a suggestion though.. As people without depression should be patient with depressed people, try to make it vice versa. Depression is not something you just snap out of in a week or so. It takes time. Realize that. It is gonna take some hard (possibly) work to get back to "normal". So prepare that. Be patient and stand fast because you WILL and CAN get out of it. Good luck on your voyage /b/ro.

lawn mower could malfunction, run out of gas, your body could wake you up in a panicked attempt to get oxygen, somebody could find you, you might not seal the room properly and survive...

any number of things could go wrong.

If you jump off a bridge hundreds of feet up, you are going to die.

You are much less likely to survive that kind of fall than taking a bullet to the head, trying to gas your room, or downing a bottle of pills.

Let me be blunt with you potential an heroes.

If you really wanted to kill yourself you wouldn't be here.
Posting here is a cry for help, which indicates that part of you wants to live.

If you really want to die: find/steal enough money to get to a really high bridge, or a sheer cliff, or a large building with roof access and just fucking jump.

You won't though.
Because you're addicted to your depression.
It's the only thing you know and you can't imagine life without it.
You don't want it to stop.

If you DID want it to stop, you'd have pulled the metaphorical trigger by now.

I encourage you to do that by the way.
Go stand on the edge of the precipice and stare death in the eye.
It might wake you the fuck up.
