Q predicted this

leave me alone

I'm avoiding it

I am at 32 year old neet and I still live at home. What do you want to know? I'll tell you anything.

...

Fine, whatever. This thread should be on Sup Forums, but please, voice your concerns.

Get your fucking shit together.

me too. must be the leaf

play skyrim

What's the political relevance? The percentage of Americans with prescribed antidepressants? An estimated number of undiagnosed depressed people? The risks of being diagnosed? A systemic flaw in our lifestyles that's causing this?

Depression sucks, but this is a political forum. Frame the conversation that way.

>but this is a political forum
ahahahahahahahahahaha

>The greatest saint, even if he has sacrificed a thousand times all that he held most dear, even his life itself, for love of others, for that of a God, or for a noble ideal, remains a prisoner of death and rebirth if he has not understood that all is a childish game, empty of reality, a useless illusion of shadows which his own mind projects on the infinite screen of the Void.

seeing white guilt exist makes me want to kill myself

does this mean that Buddhism > Christianity?

I recently realized I was raped while passed out 14 years ago. It's kinda impressive how strong our ability to repress painful experiences.
Yesterday I got to save a guys life, he was being chased down by a criminal who was straight up out to kill the guy. Just as I pounced the fucking psycho, he was about to start curbstomping the victims head.
Took him down with a flying knee in the liver, then I took a rear naked choke, but we were both have heavy coats so the fucker didn't stick, had to start grapple, took his back and started punching, eventually I got some more help, staggered away, all emptied. When cops came it took 3 of them to put him in restraints.
Fucker bit me and a bystander who got too close.
So fucking glad I had a chance to help, I never get such blessings usually, poor guy would have been in a pool of blood in seconds if I hadn't heard his shouts for help. Guy was a semi famous DJ.

Assuming you had to choose a topic to go on TV and spearhead the talk of depression what would you pick? Would you choose to focus on suicide rates increasing between soldiers and citizens? Would you focus on the possible overdiagnosis of anti-depressants?

>what would you pick?
pic related

I have never been diagnosed but I believe I have chronic depression. I am in favor of capitalism and extremely adverse to socialism based on what we've seen historically.

>homelessness
I have a very good home
>unemployment
I have probably the closest I could get to a dream job with even better news coming during a get together today
>poverty
I have no money but that is self inflicted. I allow myself to take debt and purchase luxuries like drugs and fast food to facilitate my laziness. That is my fault and not that of capitalism
>fear
I am not afraid of anything but other people's willingness to sacrifice our nations integrity for the sake of diversity
>apathy
Donald Trump has cured my apathy
>cultural decay
This is not the fault of capitalism
>nationalism
As now opposed to globalism which can rot in hell
>revolutionary thoughts
These are now caused by the forces inside the government working against the will of the people

Don't respond to me with your commie bullshit

Instead of possible over-diagnosis I'd go with possible under-diagnosis with the theory that our society is simply unhealthy. Something needs to change. Even successful people are depressed. Shit is fucked.

Take it to r9k fags. Sage

>noble ideal,
NOPE

do a pushup for every time you've been sad, nervous, suicidal, or anxious. you'll feel better.

see . more along the lines of what I meant

le exercise meme. you have to go back. >>>/reddit/

Let's break that down in to a couple of categories then.
>Depression among adults
What are some possible causes of this we see on a societal level? Inequality in courts for custody or alimony, inability to find a partner, drug use, financial difficult
>Depression among children
What are some possible causes of depression among children? Are we seeing diagnosis now with medicinal consequences for behaviors we've commonly witnessed before where the adult then grew up without those drugs?

Also am I wrong in thinking it's a fact that every school shooter has been on psychotropic drugs? at the time of their crimes?

I also don't think capitalism is to blame. Most fulfilling job I've had so far has been quota based. Having that connection to "effort in, reward out" is very healthy. Unfortunately it was a low paying job that could not support a family in the area and had no growth potential.

We need to remove the abstractions which obfuscate the relation between effort and reward. We need to find a way to get together as a community that doesn't cost a fortune or promote degeneracy.

FUCK OFF

>best friend's gf breaks up with him
>he loses all self worth and goes suicidal
>starts self harming, put in psych ward
>diagnosed with OCD and put on meds
>after a couple of weeks he gets out
>but goes back in a couple weeks later because the self harming got worse
>stays there for a month that time
>out now but in self-imposed isolation while recovering
>only interacts with his family and a therapist he goes to weekly
>stay in contact with his sister who lets me know how he's going
>she also passes on messages that I still care about him
>a few weeks ago she told me that he stopped self harming
>he's slowly getting better but it might still be a while since the meds still make him really tired
>it's been 6 months since I've seen him

maybe its just simply existence. once you lose your childhood naivety, life can feel bleak.

It could always be worse m80s.

See, that type of fatalistic statement isn't helpful. Even through the decades of depression I've experienced many moments that felt worth living for. Knowing that those moments were unexpected means more could be coming. So, I'll keep pressing forward and trying to find a better situation/lifestyle for myself.

And yes, if I get the chance to make a kid I'm doing it.

>always be worse
gee that's reassuring

What are you listening to tonight, Sup Forums?

youtube.com/watch?v=ppiol9oetOk

I'm not depressed, just blue.

Did you oppress a "youth"?

Good job...feels good man.

Do nofap and stop eating xenoestrogens

Only trying to help.

wrong board

i know, but depressed people have heard it all. a common favorite is

>it gets better

also have another pupper

Shot through the heart man, shit

It might help to view your path to happiness as learning to walk again.

Jesus loves you. The world, including Sup Forums, does not. Let that sink in.

Jesus died for your sins and rose again. He did the hard part. You just have to admit what a broken sinner you are and ask Him for salvation.
You won't love the world after, but you'll have the peace of knowing that it does end well for you.

Or, you can spout some edgelord bullshit on an image board to get a short term good feel, then burn in hell.

This is really a no brainier.

Depression is a sign that you should kill yourself.

Fuck off spamming every thread with this you fucking shill

>learning to walk again
i guess

its conflicting: evolution gives you both depression and the will to live

That sound straight out of John.
Unfortunately, somewhere along the line I lost my faith.

Are you someone who's depressed yourself? What are your current circumstances?

Yeah, episodic, mostly due to social isolation.

Also 1 John 2:15–17

Do Not Love the World
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

So you have a social group from which you isolate yourself, and it wasn't always like this. Can I ask what age range you're a part of?
