Are depression and anxiety real? Or are they just being pussies?

Very real but I'd imagine msot "depressed" people are just sad at the time and handed meds to deal with ti

Depression's definitely real. Some people get enabled by the people trying to help them though. And some people are just attention seeking.

Real but very over diagnosed

Real. I was on the verge of becoming an hero until I was forced to see a doctor. He prescribed me some pills I was supposed to take but after seeing at least one person somewhat care I just said fuck it, tossed the pills and went on about my life. I just have to live with the fact I'm most likely not going to be happy for the most part of my life, it's just a long journey of genuine good moments overshadowed by majority of shit but it's okay because most people need to be happy to live, I realized I do not.

depression is caused by the lack of God in one's life.

>I didn't join the military for x
Let me guess you joined for the gibs.

Maybe you need to give a shit about someone else. Try helping people in your life. Spend some energy giving back. I've been straight up pulled back in to the land of the living by a few very kind people and it changed my life. I now keep my eyes peeled for people that need help and put my shoes on/get out of bed way early to make sure those people know they have atleast 1 person that gives a fuck. IKTF.

It's real, but it's not an excuse unless you have catatonic depression. My grandmother on my mom's side had that. Basically could do nothing but lie in bed all day, barely moving. She had a tough life, and this was a Soviet asylum, so it's not like she got great treatment.

However most cases of depression (like mine) can be fought against with exercise, work, good diet, etc. I still feel pretty shitty most of the time but I consistently make progress in my life and that makes me happy here and there. Drugs should be a last resort except for the aforementioned sever cases. I was put on so many awful medications by psychiatrists that made me fat, took away my emotion, gave withdrawal symptoms when I discontinued, etc. The pharma jew is evil. Neurochemically, we still know almost nothing about what causes it, so these drugs are basically like trying to get rid of a tumour with a shotgun.

No good deed goes unpunished. In my experience, helping other people is a black hole. 99.9% of them won't be there when you need them.

Military who try to practice independent thought make me laugh.

>I'm so independent minded I joined the largest war machine on earth for tax payer money and benefits and I don't expect to have to compromise my views at all!

When people are depressed (and I guess I might have slipped down that way once upon a time) the way I find it's best to deal with it is to go exercise. I feel an issue with Depression and Anxiety is it's too easily diagnosed as an illness. A close friend of mine suffers from it. However it's not due to any real hardship but instead a chemical imbalance that tips the brain to think that way. To me that is legitimate and requires care. However too often we have people use depression to justify not being able to man the fuck up when something causes them to be on the back-foot.

When I was younger I found myself in a position of worry and I felt down but then I kept going and got through it, basically being the thing that gave me my current attitude in life. At my current age last year I got smacked with something life-changing and honestly after the immediate shock wore of being told the issue I was already off on the offensive on working through plan B in my scenario.

TL;DR Depression is being used an an easy excuse while people with an actual mental illness are not getting help because they don't fucking advertise it.

It's not about that though and i'm not saying help everyone. Just saying that being there for people can be a net positive to some depressed bastard that never felt like anyone was there for him.

I agree, which is why having a good family helps. I try to good things for them, which does make me happy.

Its as real as other emotions.
Drugging someone up for experiencing these common emotions is fucked up though. The drugs are just a cover up and don't actually solve the problem.
I suffered through depression growing up and I know that I will experience it again in the future. Getting over it is not easy, but I know that I have to tackle the source and not try to avoid or cover up the real cause like most faggots.

Your post is 200% jewish trick, OP.
No arguments at all.

This guy do not want to fight for ISIS. He knows US goverment are criminals and do not want to work for the bandits.

It's people being fucking retarded, but it is real.
Where's that one meme image "why doesn't my depression go away starter pack

Depression and neuroticism is unavoidable as long as an individual doesn't value what is true, it's why liberals are insane

As real as a cough. And much like a cough they can have a long list of causes.

If you went to a doctor who said, yep you have a cough, take this cough suppressant, which makes you fat, impotent and suicidal for the rest of your life you’d find a new doctor. One that would get to the root cause of the cough.

>wow, it's another 'enlightened' fucking retard who thinks he is morally superior for not joining the military

You sir, are a faggot.

*US goverment grow opium, for example
they are criminals

Your grandma sounds like she might have been bipolar user. my mom is bipolar and has episodes where she just lays in bed for days on end. Her doctor claimed she was depressed but she didn't get better until another doctor started treating her for bipolar disorder. Just a wild guess though, I'd have to actually meet your grandma to tell. I'm diagnosed with severe depression but I'm the same as you, I just get through it and do what I have to do. I feel like shit most days but part of me feels like that's how most people feel and it's not as unique as we like to think. Only thing that's ever helped me was Ritalin but that's only because it gave me a shit ton of energy.

Tell me where in the enlistment contract it says that you are going to fight for America's enemies.

>When people are depressed (and I guess I might have slipped down that way once upon a time) the way I find it's best to deal with it is to go exercise.

This is truly the best thing you can do if you are depressed. On my worse days I go for a run and immediately feel better afterwards. Really the only times I'm actually happy are after a good work out. Even sex doesn't do it for me like working out does.

>russia

ignore i misread your post.

They are very real but incredibly overrepresented and misdiagnosed due to tumblr mental illness culture spilling out into real life. 99% of people feel terrible because they are terrible, and rather than fix their lives, they blame it on a meme illness and seek "awareness" and "understanding" and "acceptance".

A faggot who pays your salary now go kill some impoverished farmers to protect my freedoms you real american hero

we do not grow and sell drugs on goverment level

it is but you don't get it from being in the military

Basically this. Most people are fucking lazy and lethargic, so they pin everything wrong in their lives on depression.

Kill yourself you fucking moron. You don't pay jack shit you NEET faggot.

Yeah your government just murders journalists and invades territory.

Anxiety is brutal but can be overcome with the right measures.

millons heroin deaths and one dead kike
hmmmm

depression is caused the the lack of bbc in one's boipucci

Show me your proof of the US government being responsible for the heroin industry. I'll wait.

This attention seeking concept is straight up ridiculous. What kind of person feels so shitty all the time that they think its a good idea to start faking feeling like shit all the time for attention? A depressed person.

>NEET

Coming from the welfare queen who whores out people sympathy to get discounts everywhere kek. Don't you have a dennys to pander a discount from?

A fucking lazy and lethargic person who wants to pin their problems on a convenient excuse.

Notice how you didn't deny that you are, in fact, a NEET faggot that views himself as morally superior to people who actually work for a living. Get fucked.

your criminal organisation protects opium fields
are you blind?
do you see the pic?

WOW, A PICTURE.

EXCELLENT PROOF, RUSSIA!

and more

>russia
>criminal organization

Your government is run like the fucking mafia you retard.

>denying I'm a neet

Why would I? you'd just call me a liar to make yourself feel better about the military or starving being your only options after you finally got your GED. I pay more in taxes than you ever have your entire military career, you belong to the U.S Government so I think you should show your superior some respect.

Who exactly are you protecting our freedoms from? I bet you can't answer this one simple question

>chronically lacking in motivation and energy
>chronic problems that they have no control over
>not depression

>holding on to an excuse for being a lazy fuck
>a fucking leaf

Every time.

LUL the NEET faggot thinks he's superior. So cute!

I bet you make 100k a day too you fucking LARPer.

OP, there are a bunch of faggots in the world who like to say they are oppressed and anxious and whatver the fuck they want to call themselves.

Depression is real. My mom has it and its not like she was sad and that's it. That's not depression. Depression is an actual mental illness and you do the weirdest shit. I know because I was a fucking child when her episodes started acting up and and looking back at it all that shit is surreal because the weirdest shit happened, it's not like she was threatening sucicide or acting hostile, just really weird.

the welfare queen thinks we didn't notice he couldn't answer the question. Who is a threat to our freedom more than the government you work for?

stay mad you butthurt NEET faggot. your dumb bullshit isn't worth the time.

I wouldn't talk shit about anyone income, you'd be flipping burgers if it weren't for the tax payer.

>>
been there, done that
the copper and lithium rights for Afghanistan were sold to China, they build everyone's Lithium Ion batteries, so i guess when they explode in people's pockets they could be considered IEDS

A lot of people who are diagnosed with depression are just adrift in modern life I think, so their issues are real but can't be fixed from that perspective. Actual intractable depression is real as well though, however it works biologically.

Holy fuck this thread sucks, could you two faggots go argue somewhere else? Why do you keep engaging this NEET sperg?

LOL yeah everyone is as useless and unskilled as you, NEET faggot.

>he's so depressed that he thinks its normal to want to live like that

Holy fuck you're hilarious. You think the us GOVERNEMNT manages that shit? No dude, it's CIA

Kek, tax payer doesn't pay you to run away you fucking pussy. Answer the question.

Or just lack of self love.

A NEET, a LEAF and a RUSSIAN walk into a fucking retarded thread...

oh, and then this retard

>he's a welfare queen cuz muh evil military!
>I'm a fucking NEET who contributes nothing to society, but I'm clearly superior
wow, you are a special kind of stupid, aren't ya?

better go ask uncle sam for some tax money so you can get the burnt ass treated.

>NEET
>thinking he's burned anyone

Holy fuck I am laffin.

Are you serious? It's fucking preposterous how you're even brushing a proposal off like that. So you don't believe the CIA is involved in foreign matters? Are you retarded? That's like the first prereq for being an agent.

No, dipshit. The fact that you think the CIA is not a part of the US government proves you are, in fact, a complete and utter retard.

No, they kill themselves because its fuckin USA USA BAD ASS GOIN N KILLEN children and mothers.

Are you going to PTSD out now because of your deep rooted guilt for being a fake hero? At least spare the dog after you kill everyone around you.

My IQ is dropping by the second staying in this dumpster fire of a thread.

You have no choice in paying the military though you underaged nigger.

We don't pay you to laugh. You're supposed to be drone bombing villages to protect the constitution.

How can you get over inferiority complex? Like even with my friends i feel hyper aware of the fact that i think people are judging me and what i say...i cant be "present" i react to stimuli before i can process it. I blame an adolescence worth of pot and porn and not socially pushing myself. Also self respect...how the fuck do i get that. Im very talnted but dont appreciate or "realize" it. Like i dont "realize" girls think im hot, i havnt mentally visualized it, etc

>inb4 meditation
Ya im gunna start doing that tonight
>inb4 psycho cybernetics
Also going to do that tonight

I also lift and run so that base is covered

Pic related, its what i try to tell myself

You dont pay anyone.

OP's pic is 10/10.
I swallowed the red pill, hard, during my service with 3 months left (thanks molymeme).
It was tough after that, but I went through with it.
I had made a contract, which I was beholden to even by the ideals I adopted through the awakening. I just had to ride it out till the end.

As for depression, I've never been truly depressed myself, despite my nationality.
this

>calling a tax payer a nigger

How many waivers did it take to make up for your asvab scores? Army I'm guessing

Listen to your question, retard. Of course mood disorders are real. When someone can't deal with life, that's a mental problem. When millions of people have the same experience, it's a public health issue. Something about the times we live in is causing people to have trouble dealing with life. Maybe it's because they're pussies, but that doesn't matter, does it? They're still having the experience.

I probably paid your pay check and for the bill to fix your bumpkin teeth. You should be thinking me that I helped make you fit enough to kill villagers and farmers to protect our rights.

If anything I'm the hero.

Or it can be a net negative because as much as you give and help, nobody ever gives a shit about you.

Yes, you are a filthy spic or nigger with your lack of a brain, meaningless chants dont mean anything in reality.

True clinical depression is extremely rare and is a result of a severe endorphin/neurotransmitter imbalance. Most people you hear about being "depressed" are just sad because of a current situation or their life status. Depression in the terms you are probably thinking is most definitely radical BULLSHIT.

Of course anxiety is real... it's a common emotional state and has been essential to human survival. However, having an anxiety disorder is very rare and most people who take pills for it these days are just fucking pussies or people who want to get high on Xanax.

Pharmaceutical companies are simply exploiting idiots to make ungodly amounts of money.

You are a fucking retard and should immediately harm yourself in some sort of severe manner for not knowing these incredibly basic concepts.

You didntbpay anything, dont respond to me again you brown nigger.

On the bright side after paying your salary i can go to the bar and fuck your wife while your off killing farmers and villagers for my right to say what I'm saying.

PTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc. it's all fucking fake. It's attention seeking bullshit perpetuated by western society and cultural marxism

>paying my salary
You can't even pay your bills working at mcdonalds.

I'll also be paying for the never ending mental treatments you'll need after you retire from slaughtering 3rd world villagers.

I don't get why you guys are hating on McDonald's, you'll be working there soon. Not a high demand for mouthy peasant slaughterers in the job force these days.

>another thread killed by Xbox live-tier mindless bickering about nothing
>it's Americans, as always

How can such a rich country produce such subhumans? Don't you ever feel ashamed?

Call of dooty kids, full of niggersvand spics they are the new Americans easily controlled by the state.

people take b8 too easily here

I think they're real conditions that most people allow to get out of hand.
People who are rabid about mental health seem to like to compare it to diabetes ("would you deny a diabetic insulin?") which is retarded, but I'll use it for analogy anyway
>be diabetic
>take insulin at regular intervals according to body weight, constantly monitor blood sugar levels, pay attention to nutritional content of diet
>watching yourself becomes a monotonous daily chore, but allows you to otherwise function like anyone else, live long and prosper
Or
>be diabetic
>take insulin only because you have to
>eat what you want and don't monitor your BSL
>fat and constantly tired, blame it on diabetes, die prematurely
OR
>be non-diabetic
>be a fat piece of shit with no regard for your diet whatsoever
>develop diabetes

People these days, especially youth, don't do anything about their depression. There's this whole air of "good to talk" where everyone has to be a shoulder for everyone else to lean on, but nobody is willing to change the lifestyle that leads to it. Most kids waste their time looking at memes in bed all day, and having a release is just fine. But when the release becomes the norm, you don't have a release from the release, and when it comes time to be responsible and go to class or find work or even go outside, fulfilling even the bare minimum is daunting. Most kids in this state are well aware that they bring this on themselves but don't want to change, and all of this of course feeds their mental illness, or creates it where there wasn't any in the first place.
All told, mental illness is your lot in life. If you want to be happy and successful, you have to accept it for what it is, deal with it, and not let it dictate who you are.

kek no, it's just retards like you who will respond to anything even a little inflammatory. Get thicker skin. you and that other faggot are extremely sensitive.

>be me couple of weeks ago

I'm both ashamed and embaressed it happened. I can't stand faggots who take every opportunity to mention how bad their anxiety is and now i've become one

is there any hope for me?

This basicly. There are some real cases, but its so easy to fake that attention whores do just that.
