Is it just me or is the whole world depressed? Maybe it's because of the company I keep or coincidence, but everyone I know is depressed. Grandma, mom is a disaster, dad is depressed, brother on all sorts of depression medications, all of my friends, everyone I know online, every single person is depressed or just generally disillusioned with the world, one thing or the other, some form of mental illness. I've been in mental hospitals and have liver/heart damage from a suicide attempt that should have killed me. I know of almost no one who is not depressed or hates life anymore.
What is the reason for this? Is it the modern world? Was life always like this? Antidepressants, over prescription, the media, not enough time in nature, not enough face to face contact, any of these things or something else?
I get a distinct feeling that the world looks gray to many people, maybe most people. What is going on?
I'd also like to know, besides why, if anyone else experiences the same thing. Does it seem like most people you know are down or depressed?
Benjamin Watson
my mood improves during summer and on sport vacations.
Brody Sanchez
That's good at least. My mood goes up when I'm outdoors alone in the woods. I think maybe lack of time in nature could be a cause for such dreary general outlook.
Ryan Diaz
never understood failed suicide attempts, like, how do You fail?
Austin King
you're not wrong, the US is a culture of negativity, religion free democrats are the worst. Think how culture has devolved. look at an old show, leave it to beaver, munsters, cheers, friends... look at the attitudes in todays shows. now look outside of the country, India has happy musicals, in Philippines people driving beep their horn and smile because it's fun to smile, thankful they can navigate around road problems. Now look at the road rage people in the US smashing horns in rage and many are ready to fight people. People in the US smile for photos but not IRL, they forget to enjoy everything. if you want a better life, recognise this.
Jayden Ramirez
mankind is collectively losing its mind. Notice when we call the the world out for being crazy we don't base our feelings on things like "evil drumpf" or "muh establishment" when it comes down to the nitty gritty truth MANY people on the right know there is something for darker happening
for example, an isolated incident can effect one person, we now know by the state of begroid that a large scale incident (slavery) can affect the psyche of a group of people, so i see no reason not to assume that the whole of the west is suffering from basically a personality disorder

Blake Bennett
I gotta say, I am the keeper of hell. I am the light at the end of the tunnel. The whole universe is a sprawling canvas on which every man leaves his mark. I am the fire which burns said canvas. The bluest sky you have ever seen was an illusion. There is only blackness. I am that blackness.
Owen Hughes
A feeling of something darker happening is it. Not end of the world, not necessarily conspiracy pizzagate shit but a general mindset of hopelessness and nihilism. I want to find some source so I can eliminate it from my life. I think lack of religious prominence might be one reason. Less sense of purpose.
Jace Lewis
I'm not really glad to be alive, but I am glad I did not die. Stuck in some limbo. Apathetic about things I suppose, don't plan to do it again. I'm generally a bit happier at least. What the fuck
Isaac Hughes
Nothing is actually wrong but the common man has been led to believe that everything is terrible. Life is just as beautiful and meaningful as it was thousands of years ago but the iniquities of those in control want to take that away from you. The day starts from within. When (((they))) own all the information they can make you feel anything they want.
You need to read Industrial Society and its Future. Then you should get into Stoicism.
Joshua Stewart
The whole world isn't depressed, just the sheep and shills toiling under the heels of their Kike Overlords. That being said, most of the human population is part of the Zog machine. The only way to fix it is rising up against the Kike Cabal, exterminating them entirely, exterminating their supporters, exterminating any sheep that object and letting the world survive through anarcho-primitivism. Bronze age best age.

we've reached the end of history the only thing that can save us is wars and destruction which bring about change and happyness
Levi Jones
For most "hidden" white men like us, life is gradually becoming more Japan-ish. I do not say "Japanese" because our lifestyles aren't Japanese but rather the conditions of this perpetually stagnant economy as well as the forces of neo-feminist-capitalism pushing us down and the PC environment wears us off. After all what is the point in getting a degree when verybody has one and it doesn't make you any better? What is the point of getting a permit if you are forced to drive a castrated nu-male car and you can use the city transport instead? What is even the point of working when all pleasure becomes available on the internet And what is the point of even having a family when yu realize your own family was broken up and your father is no better than what he was thirty years ago
What is the oint of it all, I ask? Then there is the inevitable loneliness This feeling of wanting to die, but not wanting to do it
Thomas Hernandez
The cycle of war and peace has been broken by a world peace that is lasting for too long, men crave war, life is about war. There must be a good war before we can have a good peace or everything will be as dull as it is now.

Study epistemology and turn to Christ. From there take what you can from the spiritual sources in our world. Build on them and let them nurish you. Or stay with Christ. But start with epistemology and theology if you want to approach the spiritual in a quasi-rational manner. Hope it helps.

Try to change your life. Pay less attention to politics and random news. They're not really a helpful thing when dealing with depression, because they paint the world as incredibly bad.
Jayden Scott
I feel pretty great most days desu. Used to be super depressed for many years to the point of dropping out of school etc, but since I made adjustments to my life, most days are comfy as fuck. When you are depressed you think everyone else is as well, because that is your 'wave length'. Same for when you are happy. It takes effort to realize that everyone is feeling all kinds of different stuff at the same time.
Xavier Allen

Liam Carter
Interesting. I also experienced panic attacks during the same point in my life. And dropped out as well. I felt that my environment was draining me, rather than inspiring me. My panic attacks revolved around such dread: the passing of life without a sense of context. I will tell you this, that the only respite from this world I find in prayer and deep gratitude. I ask for forgiveness in regard to the filth that I myself have brought into my own life. And I ask to be made holy and forgiven. And in such prayer, warm, physical sensations will run through my body, and my resolve in the Good feels strengthened. Then, life and work and people drain me and tire me, and I only find rest again in prayer.

>They're not really a helpful thing when dealing with depression, because they paint the world as incredibly bad.
Do they? I've been dealing with depression since more or less a year, and I've been into politics for a yea and a half. I don't think it's linked (other shit happenned, or maybe it just happenned). I had been redpilled but a lot of time before depression occurred. The news have allowed me to learn a lot and I genuinely enjoy it, but lately I've been quite optimistic truth be told. Our guys are in power, and no era was perfect. Hstory gives me an edge when dealing with depressing news, because I realize that at all eras people had to deal with the kind of crap we deal with today.
Jaxon Martinez
What really gets to me is the loneliness, but at the same time I cannot..do not want to make any friends. I even have an opportunity to get a good wasp gf from the US and I turned it down. I cant stop looking back on my happier moments and feel guilt. I see everybody and Imd drowned in this sea of people. There sn't a better word than "alienated"
Matthew Brown
I stopped feeling self-pity for myself, noticed that I rationalized other people feeling good as them not understanding the meaninglessness of life and that this wasn't true, and realized how much people bullshitted to get through life. I.e. I was taking things too seriously. Pushing myself to be social, even though I found it extremely uncomfortable (to the point where I would hide in toilets during lunch). 10 years later and people assume I'm a natural extrovert. Started exercising, which really helped me with my sleeping pattern. Also after a year I had become more muscular, which really helped my self-esteem. That in return led to me getting a girlfriend, who really made me feel like I was worth something. After that I learned to let all the negativity of other people to slide off my back. I also started eating much healthier, taking vitamin D, and a bunch of nootropics (which seem to boost my mood). I went from a complete nervous depressed wreck with constant existential angst to my current stress resilient self, so I think everyone can do so to some degree.
Benjamin Bell
They don't have Christ. They are empty and spiritually dead inside.
Ryder Bailey
Good business, user When I was in hs I was just like you. Started being an extrovert, making jokes, I even was over the top sometimes but I also worked out and I did succeed at some point but I never made any long-lasting friends, was never included within a group. Al the efforts I made to improve myself broke down during a three-fanged attack consisting of rejection, realization that life was shite, and depressionlike feeings constantly
The only satisfaction I get now is being at the top of the board in Counter Strike, it's sad

Chase Edwards
A lack of struggle and fight for survival, humans were built up around that struggle and without it we feel aimless. We have nothing to strive for as our ancestors strove for better lives for their children's futures, all we have to strive for now is the end
Brandon Nelson
I don't particularly like the place I'm stuck at, so I just spend all my time alone doing drugs and shitposting on here. It doesn't really bother me when I'm high. I'm not connecting with a single person here.
Tried all of that before. I guess it works for some people. I just can't bring myself to care anymore.
Jayden Baker
We killed our gods and then realized we had nothing left to look up to (nihilism). We tried to look up to ourselves (humanism), but ultimately found that we were deficient; thus we seek to fill the void in us with technology, social media, consumerism, and ultimately when nothing works, we self-destruct (modernity, marxism, radical liberalism, anarchism). We all yearn for death--even those of us who don't know it yet.
Charles Phillips
nice pic. can relate. I don't like people things that much and dont try to make friends either. I get in my own way of my social problems. Only problem is I need a job and I have to deal with people doing that.

Sorry to hear, friends. Please don't give up on happiness though, even if you come to the realization that people are shit.

Aiden Jackson
THe current unease among the ignored underclass of white educated men in the wstern world clearly stems from the fact that promises were broken. Grand, genuine promises of the post-1991 world of a prosperous, peaceful, borderless world, where nobody was threatened and all basked in the calming glory of technology and capitalism. We were promised the stars, an ideal Star Trek world, harmony, and never once told about race or heritage. Technology and the one-world-order imposed by the liberal aftermath of the Cold War was meant to be for us. But the dream came down.
It came down on September 11, 2001. It came down in 2008. We were promised prosperity under the western sun, and instead we had a crisis. We were told that technology would make our lives better, yet itallows us to isolate ourselves and is, for the most part, shallow. We were told that the world would be peaceful, and instead we had war and instability, and race riots. We were told that a stable family balancing independence and love would be the future, and yet we have a denuclearized, independent, ever-shrinking family.
We were told we could enjoy things of our own, and instead we are pushed to share. Share our rides, share our meals, share our incomes. We were told it would be pristine, and it is not.
The breakdown of the capitalist order and of western society lays before our eyes. It is a shell of its former self. Paradoxically, less people than ever are now hungry and we are richer than we ever were - but we don't see it. Breaking promises and stripping the future of its golden crown led us right into the abyss.

Life is depressing, the people who are the most happy are those who can best ignore the inevitable and reality in general. Its getting harder and harder to ignore death because we have so much more time to do sweet fuck all. All you can do is try to do things that make you happy while you can.
more people = more sadness loss of individuality = loss of self-worth attachment to race/ideology = improvement on self-worth sadness = anger sadness and anger = prone to radical ideologies that will destroy society

anecdotally i've noticed that this is far more true of women than men. i swear like 25-33% of teenage and college-aged girls are on antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication these days, maybe even more. my own mother used to be on SSRIs which I found pretty shocking.

Hudson Gray
There are a lot of decent answers in this thread. I think the root cause is much simpler than most are making it.
Humans were built by evolution to be specialized for a certain environment. Our progress in society has now rapidly outpaced our ability to adapt to this new environment, especially since the Industrial Revolution. We are in a world very unnatural to us, yet the way we learn enforces that this is all natural, that the world is better this way.
Noah Gomez
So smart people don't commit suicide because they don't "end up in situations". Cool x2

Dont take DMT. You will meet machine elves, very bad. Take Ayahuasca instead Find a Santo Daime Church. Goto Holland, there is one there. I have been there, I learned about the living machine of Nature, its beauty and weakness. You will become vegetarian. You will become a human animal, and learn to suffer this life with great dignity and appreciation You will crave time amongst trees, they are your fathers.
You will see an ant on the ground and think 'brother'. You will never not be depressed and be accepting of that.

You're just a broken automaton who will soon be unwanted, in Kojeve's "Hegelian" global historical synthesis of capitalism and communism.
>"The universal and homogeneous state is `good' only because it is the last (because neither war nor revolution are conceivable in it: mere `dissatisfaction' is not enough, it also takes weapons!)
>In the final state there naturally are no more `human beings' in our sense of an historical human being.The `healthy' automata are 'satisfied'(sports,art,eroticism,etc), and the `sick' ones get locked up. As for those who are not satisfied with their 'purposeless activity'(art etc), they are the philosophers(who can attain wisdom if they 'contemplate' enough).By doing so they become 'gods'.
>The new education must consist essentially in this, that it completely destroys freedom of will in the soil which it undertakes to cultivate, and produces on the contrary strict necessity in the decisions of the will, the opposite being impossible. Such a will can henceforth be relied on with confidence and certainty.
>If you want to influence him at all, you must do more than merely talk to him ; you must fashion him, and fashion him in such a way that he simply cannot will otherwise than you wish him to will.
After about 200 years of generations indoctrinated into this system, and creating and participating in the work of institutions, from financial to academic to industrial and mundane, not knowing that they're pod people, and that every single "rebellious" thought they have has already been put there by the system itself, how can you go against this? That's the great thing with the Fichtean ("Hegelian") system, the antithesis is still part of the system just like the thesis, and there is no escape.
Now that all the infrastructure for a global panopticon is already implemented, you're seeing how China does their Sesame thing, you know how it works in dystopian fiction, everything is known about everything and everyone, and we'll finally have an awe-inspiring authority to submit to. Those born from 2000 onward will know no other way.

One of the best things you can do is get off of Sup Forums. I came to this shithole religiously back when brexit stuff was happening and just reading about all the shit going on in the world made me a depressed and grumpy person.
I now only come here once every now and again to see what's up but don't try to stay on it for long. If you want to keep up with what's going on in the world there are better places to do it than a site that tries to make the worst out of everything.

Work out, eat right, clean your room, read something interesting, get out of the house for any excuse possible. Even something simple as grocery shopping. Visit a park while listening to an audio book, if you're depressed ou need to break the environment/rit you're in.
