How do I stop being depressed?

You're depressed becuase you had your future stolen by niggers and boomers.

Blaming others for my depression won't make it go away

>Depression is a serious
Shut the fuck up.

OP pls listen, I actually know how to do this.
1. The key is you have to affirm positive experiences, actively choose them, rather than try to "fight" depression. Depression is the absence of activity so that you feel drained and negative all the time. You have to affirm the sort of internal experiences you want to have. You have to consciously learn how to guide your experience.
I know that might sound a bit "psychological" but it's true. The "abyss" of depression can always get closer to Zero. You have to positively affirm real goals and values.

Kek, you're not depressed faggot.

>the absence of activity
This is it. Maybe this is why retirees go back to work? Because they fear falling into depression? I'll go back to being a wageslave

Right or the bat, do you watch porn and masturbate. If so, stop. you are putting yourself on a neuroendocrine roller coaster for no reason. At least try it. Try 2 weeks, and see if it helps.

dennis leary is a hack mick fraud, stole half of his material from bill hicks and the other half from other people like louis ck
Julian Clark
I don't watch porn, but I found out REALLY quickly that being at a uni can get really boring really fast, so I'm going to be a wageslave too in order to avoid the "absence of activity"
Isaac Diaz
Hit the gym. Take it slow.
Jackson Cooper
depression is a choice
Jacob Hall
I bet if he slipped on a banana peel dropped by a white man you'd still find a way to blame niggers.

Exercise. Have a positive attitude. Eat healthy. Stop watching porn. Stop smoking weed and drinking. Stop trying to live up to your stupid expectations.
Julian Brooks
user. Not being depressed is like deciding to run a marathon, you can’t just get up one day and do it.
Like training for a marathon, you must work on excercises that fight drepression ( working out, being more social, ANYTHING THAT GIVES YOU PURPOSE).
At first the effort comes in short spurts, and it is mostly painful. But like your marathon training, overtime you build more and resilency and push the depression down.
Depression physically changes how your brain works and once you are stuck in it, you must physically change your brain back to thinking normally. The effort is hard and long, but totally possible and once you emerge, you won’t even understand how you were once depressed.
Better than any SSRI that some doc wants to feed you, go out tomorrow, find an activity that has meaning to you, that gives you purpose, and throw yourself into it.
Good luck!

Life is too easy. People need to struggle in order to find meaning

Join a group of people.
I'm sure you're presumably conservative since you're coming here. Go to a church. Doesn't matter if you don't believe, everyone there will probably be a good person regardless. Sometimes, it's just getting some help.

6 years of SNRIs later and I feel like I’ve been lobotomized. I too look for answers and hope I could help if at all possible

It may be worthwhile for you to try magnesium supplementation.
It's cheap, effects begin to be seen in a few weeks and the side effects include fewer headaches and less muscle cramps (pretty decent side effects).
Here's a recent study:

Live a better life. Nine times out of ten, people who believe they have depression really just have shitty lives that they need to fix.
Levi White
user, you have discover the causes of your depression. It's different for everyone.
I suggest going to a support group for awhile and seeing what you find out about yourself.
Eli Evans
Find a passion. For me, it's work. I don't notice I'm sad if I'm distracted by projects at work. Plus, money helps numb it, at least for a bit. Yeah, I'd honestly just say material goods. Cars, watches, expensive alcohol.
Colton Martin
Depends why you're depressed. Did something happen or is it a medical problem? If it's a medical problem trust your doctor when it comes to meds, if you don't like how they work try a different kind and repeat until you're able to do these other things that help.
First things first when you're depressed shit sucks and you can't and don't want to do anything so fix your sleep schedule. Get up the same time daily, no exceptions and get your 8 hours. This is the easiest way to start helping yourself. Next is showing every morning and putting on clean clothes. Do it daily. Next is making sure you're drinking water. Next is going for short walks or getting outside or doing some kind of exercise, take the dog for a walk, meditation etc. Do these things daily and work up to them slowly. Then from there plan the life changes you may need to make that are at the root of your depression.
Clearly I'm not a doctor, I am bipolar. For me there are no life changes sort of getting back on schedule and once I do, in combination with meds I start to feel normal again.
Good luck.

find a purpose for existence. LSD and MDMA helped me not kill myself this last year. I got ran over by a drunk driver and have had to have many many surgeries. be thankful you are alive and live in america and protect your family and your essence. You be your own God ;)
