Cures for depression?

Cures for depression?
I have no energy, motivation, desires, emotions, drive, anything.

Ive tried exercise, talking to friends, going places, staying busy in general. Nothing works.

Depression general

...anybody? Help...

Go see a psychiatrist. Sometimes it's impossible to cope by yourself. Sometimes, you're body chemistry is just fucked up, and a simple medical treatment can improve thing. Anyway, don't struggle alone, get help.

> oh, and get out of Sup Forums. This place has too many ill-intentioned people who'll just try to hurt you more.

keep on doing all those things you listed. if it keeps getting worse consider therapy. depression is periodical, even if things are great it might come back and hit you hard, what's important is that you keep in mind that better times will always come again. keep your social contacts, go out, exercise. but don't be too harsh on yourself when you fail to function at the same level you would if you weren't in a depressive episode

I have a psychiatrist. On my 4th antidepressant. No dice.

Dude weed lmao

Tried it. Made me tired until I got some sleep, then back to usual.

true that. during the last weeks i did a total nofap, no porn, no Sup Forums streak, along with a diet and regularly walking outside and i noticed how the energy and the joy slowly started returning. then i relapsed and ended up here again, but i'll start over, it's worth it

Seriously
First of all this You wouldn't believe how much of an impact this shit here can have on you. Especially when in such a state.

Next step is taking a day off of everything, sit outside in the sun or go for a walk and drop every intention of doing anything.
>inb4 having intention not to have intentions

Just free your head from everything, and really just be there, listen to your body.
Find out what is really bothering you.

Thank you. That sounds really solid.
Anybody else got input?

that goes for the rest of you pathethic whiney bitches

Getting high/drunk (or even with nicotine/caffeine) is NOT going to get you out of this in they long- run, just make your situation 10x as bad.

>Next step is taking a day off of everything
this is dangerous when you're clinically depressed. best thing is to keep all appointments steady, stay at work, stay busy and prevent being alone with only your thoughts. you might enter a downward spiral if you try to meditate at that point

I was desperate. Im not a stoner, I just gave it a shot. I dont drink at all, either.

I've been in that situation, as well.

it's tough.

oh user-kun :^)

Take LSD and get to the root of your problems, it will change your life

fr work out take a jog or a lil nap it helps OP no joke man

Yeah weed is overhyped and the effect is not too great either. But it can help you open up more to yourself if you decide to think about everything. Also weed can be good before meeting your psychiatrist. K bye

/this tbh

I bought a motorcycle.

Download some good music, put earplug under ur helmet and drive off.
Takes away stress, gives me energy, u can go anywhere, without having to stay then more than 5 minutes. It keeps u busy.

It is was keeps me true the day, keep me relaxed and mental

try ketamine

>That sounds really solid.
Wow, you actually don't go ahead and discard my answer.

Well I have been going through major depression, and I mean big time.
suicide attempt from which I actually pussied out
staying in bed for 2 weeks straight

Pulled myself out of it by myself pretty much.

Well so and so. This downward spiral is nothing permanent, although it can get really fucking nasty.
To have someone around is always good.

I see what you say because I have gone through exactly that.

I guess you have to be somewhat of a fighter for that kind of method. Which is considerably difficult in such a state I see. For me, no pain in the world could stop me when I want something.
I wanted to get rid of this depression and I did.

But now, asking Sup Forums isn't the smartest of things to do.
That is why I have said take 1 day off and listen to what comes up.
With that in hand you can seek a doctor and actually expect to be cured.

If you don't know what's wrong and you go to a doctor, then the real bad things can happen.

I have lost my girlfriend to this shit.

Sweet kuads fam

I just quit drugs so I'm 37 days sober and my depression is driving me crazy. Can't kill myself because I want to live. Can't enjoy life because I'm apathetic to everything except my kids and fiancee. No amount of outpatient and counseling and meetings can make it stop. Every morning I force myself to be productive and shit. Feels like I'm living a lie because I'm stuck trying to fake it until I make it....

>hey user-kun you should join Tinder, maybe you'll find someone on there, let's go out for dinner and I'll take a nice photo of you out
>ok user-chan, what's the worst that can happen?
>exactly! I'm sure you'll get lots of matches and a date or two through it

>2 matches
>first girl is a literal cave troll, with no bio so probably not even still active
>second girl reminds me of my psyco ex that self-harmed in front of me and completely controlled me for two years and fucked me up generally

Testosterone has been the only thibg thats helped me. Anti depressants made me feel dull, started to get bald patches and still depressed.

Test makes me ready to go. Im up every morning for work without hesitation. I work out consistently and have an easier timw in social situations.

Still get depressed everyonce and a while. Past two days iv been kind of down. Getting older(35) still live with parents all alone, no friends, no gf anymore. Im working my ass off and getting screwed by taxes which are keeping me in poverty. School loans fucked me. Im switching my career over to city firefighter/paramedic. Still not gonna make a killing but itll be better theb my current financial situation

Im told by everyone that im cute and handaome. I get numbers thrown at me daily. None of it feels right tho. I miss having my ex who was more then just a slam pig. She was my best friend.

Anyway, test is great. It wont fix your life but it will give you an edge.

have had depression since i was a little kid
tried therapy, medication and hospitalization
nothing works
i think i'll stay like this forever

Now have you tried motorcross, it looks scary but it's so fun. You should try it it's not as tame as buying a motorcycle just to ride it on the road. Get a dirt bike and ride through some national parks and you will never be depressed again

The sad thing is people will actually try this

>you do something about it
Doesn't work
>do nothing about it
You can't
>accept it
Ain't that big a deal anymore.

Story based on facts.
By Me

I bought a Ktm Exc 530 with street tires. So i have the best of both worlds.

Motorcyxles cost alot of money.

I think you are one of those poo heads

Get outside, aim to get fitter, find a purpose, even if that purpose is just to get fitter. You'll feel better about yourself in general.

maybe you're right

try changing your mindset. If you're apathetic to everything EXCEPT your kids and fiancée. you're not apathetic towards everything. My personal view on depression is depressed people see the world and "life" as what it really is, completely pointless. Your mindset now determines if that view gets you down or not.
Humans are supposed to live like other animals, work out their body in order to get food, reproduce, and have some good-hearted fun once in a while. And with all the benefits civilization gives us, it also destroys are animalistic way of life. Animals don't get depressed, only when they're captured. Humans are animals. Strive to be an animal

Maybe I am.

Maybe by now I laught at the face of depression.

Maybe from time to time I even invite depression because it helps artistic expression.

Depression became a pal of mine.

Call me edgy but I got that shit on my command, instead of acting on command of depression.

THSI IS THE CURE

I know the feeling well. Been like it all my life. I came from a pretty rough history but my life is damn close to perfect now and I just cant feel anything except fear, I just want to feel happy and passionate, love my bf and feel lucky to be where I am, but its just not working. I feel like, for me, my issue is biological and chemical, Im gonna go see a doctor real soon and ask for more professional help- had much counselling and therapy previously and it doesnt do anything for me, neither does getting out and doing stuff. Im going to hopefully talk to a psych or someoone qualified about a short course of antidepressants to kick my brain out of the neurochemical funk its in. Id reccomend you read as much as you can about how youre feeling, what drugs are commonly given for that illness, find one you think sounds good for you then find a doctor and ask for it. Its interesting to read about that stuff either way! Hold on in there anyways man. Life will rearrange itself eventually.

SEE A FUCKING PSYCHIATRIST DUDE. IF ITS REAL DEPRESSION AND UR NOT JUST A TARD MEDICATION COULD REALLY HELP

our*
also i would like the opinion of some other experienced anons on my thoughts

It doesn't work straight away.
this is bullshit

Exercise is mildly effective at alleviating depression, an hour to an hour and a half or so of cardio and an hour of weight lifting everyday might help

Anti-psychiatry scientologist eh??? U obviously didn't take en bio in high school u fucking hard. In moderate to severe depression SSRI's and SNDRI's have been shown to be effective at alleviating symptoms, read afucking book

Go to therapy my good man it will help

...

Not everyone can afford to see one, though.

stop thinking in white

OHHH BUT THEY CAN AFFORD FUCKING CRYSTALS TOO SHOVE UP THEIR HOMEOPATHIC ASSHOLES, PSYCH>MONEY

I get what you mean, the way life is arranged at the minute, civilisation I mean, jobs and politics and money and social stuff, its not very human. The world seems hostile and just not fit for anyone with awareness or emotions... I dont know how to say it any other way.

I would be happy if all out war occured and I had to live in a forrest. Life melts my fucking brain, give me nature and breathing space and space from all the weird social constructs of current society and Im comfortable.

been lifting for 3 weeks or so and its actually quite heartwaming and you can clear your mind

Your*

CUNT :^)

Well did you try suicide? It works for 100% of cases of depression

I got out by talking to a friend. I don't know what actually happened, but ever since we had some conversation about which I don't remember, I've not been depressed.
Find your Daniel and talk for a mo'

What does that mean?

U were never depressed :/

Suicide

white means everything you are worried about
white is she
white is the people that hate you
white is yourself
and white can be everything
so stop

>white can be everything
>so st
^schizophrenia

Isn't black more linked to depression and bad moods and dark clouds, too? Can't black also represent all the colors?

^schizophrenia

Live a second life while you recover via psychiatrist. Worked for me. As in, play a video game

Try smoking weed and not thinking about friends or family or ambitions. If you don't think about them, you can't worry about them. You'll be content

^Do not listen to this stoner without GED

OP here
Thats the weird thing. Im not stressed about anything. There's no reason for me to feel this way and it just keeps getting worse

try low doses (150-250mg) of dxm

srsly

He doest understand how depression works.

Just

well I guess but i associate black with darkness.
my favourite moment of the day is when i go to sleep, close my eyes and I have nothing to worry about. like if i was dead but with the sentence of living another day
tho i still dont have the courage to do it
i guess i would regret it but when its too late
actually im waiting the good times to come

Dextromethorphan is not better than placebo in treatment of depression

If ur referring to dextroamphetamine, thats like a last line augmentation treatment

Coffee can help alleviate depression(to a small degree)

well it pretty much cures me

helps with anxiety too

but only during the 'hangover' phase of it

its cuz ur brain is so fucked up u can't think straight, using a dissociative to help cope with a disease thats its not indicated for is a good way to get hepatitis

>hepatitis
well I haven't gotten it in 20 years. how much longer do I need to wait?

I am a student of psychology working towards a PhD in clnical psychology. Trust me when I say this. Don't go to a psychiatrist for pills. Psychiatry is a dirty business. If you need help consider a clinical psychologist but my advice is fight the depression. I have depression too but I force myself to go to the gym 3 times a week to lift weights, I eat healthy too. I recommend you take omega 3 supplements and try st Johns wort

Life's boring and has no meaning. Unless you make up a meaning, I mean according to the jap man miko kacu or whatever and Neil tyson were most likely living in a universe that's simulated so everything we will or can do is pre determined but which paths and choices we make predict our outcomes that's why rich people preach positive thinking. You should read think and grow rich and the secret, idn if it'll help with how you feel ( because it's a chem inbalance in your brain) but I'm sure it will at least give you hope that you can make life better on your own without the help of others.

Thank you,

Management

This psychologist its an idiot. Psychiatry is effective, he is a retarded homeopathic faggit. ST johns wort has the same mechanism that most antidepressants have, WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT, its an SSRI, he obviously has not had any training in pharmacotherapy. GET OFF THE FUCKING WEB U CRETIN,

Webdev, 60k. Still suffocating under guilt, regret, and unjustifiable self loathing and anxiety, but no suicide attempts at 29 yrs. Better than a fucking psych or prescriptions

Its a risk, not a certainty. Just be careful

>used to be so depressed to the point where I'd just lie in bed literally all day, wrap the blankets all around myself like a little cocoon
>only get out of bed if it was absolutely necessary, like going to toilet or hungry
>snapped out of it because I live by myself and I realized that I can whine and bitch and moan and fart as much as I please but at the end of the day, no one is listening, nobody cares, the only person who is getting screwed over in this is myself
>started to GO OUTSIDE
>DO IT
>DO IT FAGGOT
>DO IT NOW
>GO OUTSIDE

I was heavily depressed for a decade tried everything they had with no effect. Nothing matters, not enjoying anything, the world is on the path to killing itself with no end in sight type deal. Following Trump's presidential run since summer and actually working to improve myself hasn't totally fixed me but I'm improving

Which kind of hep though?

WOOOOOOAH 60K big man. A psychiatrist can do more for u than u think. This antipscyh scientology creationist homeopathic healing crystal culture is really hurting people. Stop.

Liver inflammation???/ ur thinking viral, I'm talking liver damage due to drug use

Quick plan to treat depression:
1. Ignore the crystal healing homeopathic scientologists stoner cretins
2.See a psychiatrist
3. Exercise
4. Drink Coffee
5. SEE A PSYCHIATRSIT

No. Psychiatry is an evil business. Pharmacy companies pay psychiatrksts to invent new disorders so they can make medication for it. Overprescribing of pills is huge. Antidepressants also dont always help and can make you fat.st johns wort is a much better approach. Most doctors in germany give this for depression. Pills is a stupid american Thing.

I know several psychiatrists but where do I find a psychiatrsit?

Oh and the CIA is using mind control to illuminati the fucking military industrial complex, and the CIA is controlling the weather to make money of the poor people, na the NSA watches me masturbate HURR DURR fucking conspiracy theorist. The anti psychiatry culture ur propagating hurts people. Stop. There is tonnes of credible peer reviewed research that shows that anti depressants help.

Craigslist Lmao????? Talk to ur general physician
