How do you fix anxiety and depression, Sup Forums ?

I know a lot of brotips and misconceptions, and "man up" kind of advices will be dropped but let's stay civil and educated.

stop giving a fuck and vitamin d

Can start by post in the right forum.

Exercise and socialization. Really, you're likely to feel better if you're out and about. In some cases medication or therapy may be needed.

stop smoking weed and drinking coffee. Get out of your chair and do stuff. I like fixing computers and machines, because once I fix something I feel less useless and retarded. Look around the house and fix something.

Exercise, therapy, maybe medicine if you're really dysfunctional.

Exercise is probably the best one.

Do menial tasks. Humans like to do menial tasks because it makes them feel fulfilled.

Stop doing drugs, exercise more. But most importantly, stop being a pussy.

Vitamin d is great

Also stop masturbating

Drugs.

>Also stop masturbating

pointless meme

just cut back to once a week or so. gives you way more energy

also getting a fuck buddy is a great thing. it's surprisingly easy if you have zero standards

Stop being a faggot and get a job.

I understand stopping weed, but why coffee?

Create a list of goals. Easy task that you can do daily/weekly. It can be as simple as take a walk, throw out the trash, clean a room, call a friend and talk for 5 minutes, take a shit, ride a bike, buy a book, read a few pages, simple things then start setting your goals higher and higher. Take a hike plan a vacation,get a better job interview. It's imperative you write the list and scratch the items off the as you complete them. It helped me get out of depression and get my life back together. It sounds stupid but it helped me greatly.

Unless it's a physical problem (it never is), the first place to start is with meaning and motivation. You have to have good, solid reasons to do things and realistic hopes. I lift weights because I love how girls react to my muscles. I work because I love money. You have to know what you want, believe you can have it, and then work to get it. Our world makes this pretty fuckin' hard, so start small -- when I'm depressed, I like to do the dishes, because I've literally never failed at that. The dishes get clean every fucking time I try. Then I feel better and can move on to something harder.

This user's got it figured out. You'd be wise to listen to him.

Check your thyroid. Hypo can fuck you up BIGLY

If you're busy you don't have enough time to think about being depressed. Get busy. Write a list of things to do then do it.
Once you see an effect on your environment, you start to increase confidence in changing the problematic areas of your life for the better.

This. After my gf dumped me I moved out, got my own spot, put a list of goals on my board, I bought the motorcycle I always wanted, started lifting and I fucked 6 hot bitches way hotter than my gf and I did it all in 9 months. Started reading too

Caffeine is actually a narcotic but we don't think of it as one. It can create dependencies. People that drink it a lot tend to feel like shit without it.

Caffeine in almost anything we drink anymore though so it's unavoidable really. Coffee has a more potent effect though i think.

Get out of the house as much as possible. Force yourself. Exposure therapy.

just take some super male vitality, a shot of whiskey, and two bong rips..

gardening

growing a plant from seed is calming

Here is what works for me:

Stay indoors (mostly in your room), practice communicating through people online, eat mostly deserts and drink sugary drinks, masturbate to porn a lot, don't exercise, smoke a lot of weed, occasionally trip on cough syrup. That's made me get over my anxiety and depression and has won me lots of friends.

Hard work.

Improve your diet, when it comes to anxiety 90% of the time the problem comes down to your gut, try removing chocolate, dairy, fruits with skins, alcohol, caffeine and see if that improves things. Ofc you should be on anti depressants/anxiolytics already. After that you should prioritize starting a career, learning new skills such as languages, and spending time with other likeminded people, since some people are just toxic for sensitive people such as op and only add fuel to the fire. Finally you should try and supplement a good diet with exercise and weightlifting so that you can look fit and attract more females, celery and immediate exercise sweat before a club will boost your pheromones. If you need a bigger dick consider jelqing for some beginner gains.

Emotional instability a result of the world we live in. Psychosis is a result of being forced to live in a world of active cognitive dissonance. The world is insane, and all the people are insane, because the world we've been described is not fitting how we perceive it. You may think that being born with a penis means your a man, BUT YOUR WRONG DONT ASSUME MY GENDER.

You're anxiety is likely a result of your brain fighting back. Learn to let everything roll off your back. Learn to not let things bother you. Pull out of social networks and societal input that causes you anxiety. It'll take a few months, but youll start to mellow out.

Also go out on a 2 hour walk, preferably with company, every day as a commandmant. Finding a job is no excuse to just sit on your arse everyday waiting for shengri la

Having sex with someone who you would not have children with is degenerate and disgusting.

Explain yourself ameribro. Why should I go to the market right now and buy a useless gay plant?

kill yourself

I'm not fat, but I want to put on some muscle

Now why the fuck are diets so important, I don't fucking get it, it's just calories in and calories out, why should I plan what shitty tasteless food to eat?

Help pls

>implying dark chocolate is on the same niggertier that milk chocolate is on.
>implying he should take jew pills

Found the jew goys!

Easiest way is to get a life - I.e. create a vision for the future. Relationships and gratitude (ex. The magic by Rhonda Byrne) are also good things

weed. seriously. don't be high 24/7 but once in a while it's severely beneficial to the anxious and unhappy.

Rope lead or helium

Either that just go down the road instead of across the street next time

Not him but grow vegetable bearing plants. Buy them as seeds and germinate and plant them.
I think i'm doing a lot of things wrong because it's super passive since i don't seem to do anything every couple of weeks. other than water shit fairly heavily every 2 days if i remember.

Psychologist friend shared this tip with me. He said it's supposed to work almost 100% of the time and it has for all of his clients.

How to fight anxiety:
1. Picture a stop sign in your head.
2. Count the sides.
3. Identify the individual colors.
4. Read out the letters on the sign.
5. Ask yourself what it's telling you to do.

Next,
6. Identify and name six common objects around your room.

7. Take your mind off everything and do something mindless that requires energy, either physical or creative. Do this for just a couple minutes.

There's science backing this method, evidently. Something to do with calming your primal 'fight or flight' mechanism by establishing a primal sense of boundary and safety.

get a waifu

>inb4 redditor
sorry i just tried to break up the individual groups of steps

He wants a cure not add to it

You already know the answer shithead, but you're too lazy to do anything about it.
>work out, get in shape, exercise, exercise, exercise.
>Get a real hobby. Not this lame testicle shrinking shit like "gamer", "movie buff", "music buff", "collector". Garden, throw knives, shooting, hiking, camping, welding, ect are real hobbies.
>Read
>Get a dog
>Everything society accuses you of being as a "white male" is exactly the pursuits you should be engaging.

Sylvie is my ambrosia

It's only going to disappoint him when he can't get his own ambrosia and ends up with man hating slag

I mentally live in Gensokyo.

Xanax, diazepam, booze.. Most benzos actually, but it's just temporary unfortunately.

sunlight

paroxetine

Caffeine increases anxiety and makes you agitated. If you are drinking more than one cup a day that's probably where your anxiousness is coming from.

If I knew that, I wouldn't be on Sup Forums

Well since you asked so nicely. I would recommend [Bullshit pill] and doing [Easy ineffective bullshit excercise]. And you should DEFINATELY check your [Extremly rare condition that frees you from all personal responsibility].

Don't listen to all those "Do actual things" and "Man up" bullshit. Stay strong, all the love

I don't understand this picture

I drink until I can't feel anything.

That's one hell of a gif..

Medical doctor here. My advice is to self-medicate with alcohol, recreational drugs and sex.

Also, you're a yuropoor but Swissrich so get some Governmental gibmesats and collect free medication and counselling.

If you want a serious answer, medication and counselling have a great effect than either one alone, so do both and exercise.

>stop masturbating
>cut back to once a week or so (on masturbating)

If you want the benefits of not masturbating, you can always just cum into a paper plate and eat your sperm back. You get to masturbate and you get all your protien, hormones, and vitamins and minerals back.

If you are worried about losing hair you can rub it into your scalp to help grow your hair back.

For you.

i have to agree with most anons here re: stop drugs and booze. it does clarify the mind. i found any outdoor activity on a sunny day helps. NOOOOOO FAPING is also key.

about therapy: it only works if you have a good therapist. And a good therapist you wont be seeing for years.

This.

My younger cousin is very depressed, has tried to kill himself a couple times in the past few months.

I just don't know what to tell him. I think I'm a pretty smart and life-experienced guy, but I really can't think of anything to say.

I was very down a few years ago. Went on wellbutrin and sertraline. Got off them after a year. They probably stopped me from killing myself/doing irreparable harm to myself, but my libido is totally fucked and I'm still basically depressed. I think depression is a natural reaction to a really shitty world. If you're intelligent, you can see all the squandered potential. It is, in fact, depressing.

I am okay-ish, now. I don't know why. Not happy. But the self-harm thoughts stopped. Somewhat more bearable. I describe it as feeling like I'm waiting at an airport. Everything feels like that. Nice dinner out with family. Sex with girlfriend. Camping with friends. It's all just "okay". I started smoking again just because that's a nice thing to do while waiting. I just feel like I'm waiting.

There is no cure for depression, only ways to alleviate the symptoms, which are obvious:

anti-depressants
girlfriend
friends
family
outdoors
exercise
caring about yourself
caring about something bigger than yourself.

But at the end of the day, the shit that is human life is still that shit. Can't be escaped, as far as I can tell.
