Depression is getting to me

Depression is getting to me...
I refuse to take any fucking meds that my doctor suggests I should take
How do i cope?

Also, inb4 kys.

dude take the drugs what do you have to lose?

Talk to people. Anyone. Talking helps so much more than you'd care to think.

i recommend forcing yourself to go outdoors and/or work out daily. take up an outdoor hobby like inline skating. this has worked wonders for me. by the time i get home at night, im too tired to think about things, i just go to sleep.

Sleep, diet, exercise, and fish oil. Or don't be a puss and take your meds.

>I refuse to accept help from medical professionals
>what do I do?!?!

Let them help you, stupid.

Take the damn meds! They fuckin help you.

Some people, me included, feel like you shouldn't have to be dependent on a substance to live your life. It basically isn't even you, just a drugged up version of you. It's not a life worth living.

Make your own herbal medicine. I suggest buying literally all the apples you can find. All of them.

Then you core them and salvage all the seeds. Put the seeds in a blender with a little water to make a consistent liquid and drink that shit.

Then go out and get some more.

Psychotherapy might be an option. Also, take your meds. They really help.

as a diagnosed bipolar myself, i found that most of the meds prescribed to me were changing me in a way i didnt like at all. they didnt help the insomnia or the depression, just made me less manic. when your mood is always lethargic, it doesnt swing much to either direction. i also do not take meds anymore, but excercise and being outdoors most of my day has helped me a lot

Ignore these meme spouting faggots OP. You're life is worthless. Fucking kill yourself. Just do it already you waste of space. You're a shitstain on society. Buy a gun, put it up against your temple, and pull the trigger.

It depends what the root of the problem is.

What is in the apple seeds that make it effective?

You're not actually depressed. Everyone nowadays think they are but they really aren't

Then shut the fuck up and kill yourself

Fuck taking meds. I'm not altering my brain with bullshit chemicals.
I feel like i will be fake and not my truly destined self if i take anti-depressants.

read buddhist literature.

depression can be helped by meds but the problem ultimately lies in your mind, something that can't be cured by taking meds. you need to work on it yourself.

bye

This

I am unipolar and i have tried 6 different meds until i found one, where I still felt like myself. Sometimes one has to try in order to find the right one. After one year I didn´t need the med anymore. It was milnacipran

Only meds takers tell you to take the meds. Pharma is a business, the meds dont help you, they mask the problem. The solution is inside you. Dont feed the companies which profit on your "depression". Feed yourself and your soul. Feed your creativity and feed your social relationships. Feed your needs, free your mind.

I'm a licensed doctor and I endorse this man.

Life sucks. You either have the tits to trudge through it all or give up and go out on your own terms. But definitely don't come running here with your problems, tits flapping in the wind, and complain about not taking drugs. Drugs are good for you and your soul.

I'm a doctor.

In apple seeds? Cyanide.

wtf is it with depressed people and not wanting to get help

Weed

A form of natural endorphins.

Trust me, I'm a doctor.

Weed can make depression seriously worse.

Self projecting again, user?

please do not listen to this absolute fool, I had horrible crippling depression for years and almost killed myself. I eventually found some meds that work great and I am fine now as long as I take them.

...

...

No, you have it wrong. You take them so you can get to place where you can work your shit out, to get a higher baseline to do so. Then after you are stable you can ween off of them.

Posting from experience. Trust me it's worth it

That's incredibly goddamn stupid.

nope bro

you will become drug dependent

just go out, maybe gym will be ok

Play Mass Effect it helped me, madee feel needed and important

join a gym now.
Buy whey protein and Creatine.

Lift the heaviest weights you can.

This is saving me from alcoholism and depression as we speak

Meds will not make you another person or alter your personality/character. If you find the right one, you will just start to feel better.

>How do i cope?
Stop being such a faggot and take your meds. Your doctor suggested them for a reason.

>as long as i take them

so you're not fine

Odds are, you're not depressed. Just yet another out of shape low t fag that feels the obvious and natural side effects of such a shit lifestyle. Ita called working out friendo. Dont stay up. Fish oil

You could always not be depressed. Works pretty well.

The point isn't to kill him silly

I'll give you a tip. Stop giving a fuck about everything. If you manage to do that you should have no depression.

realize that the world is just pawn of the laws og physics! you have to live to procreate or else you will fail as a human being. try and try and try again until you meet a bitch what will take it then go off yourself myself. fuck existence it sucks! but damn it i want to contribute to society even though life sucks i want to achieve something! anything in between is just a road bumb

Psychotherapy, outdoor activities, healthy nutrition.
And pills, ofc. Don't refuse what you haven't tried.

Your choice dude. Do cardio for 150 minutes each week. Take fish oil every day. Eat 3 balanced meals every day. Get 6-8 hours of sleep every night. Go to therapy that focuses specifically on cognitive behavioral therapy. That's about the most you can do without medication

drugs are for the weak

Take meds while you get back into a healthy lifestyle, exercise talking to people after like a month ween yourself off them. 3/4 pill 1/2 pill 1/4.

Get the meds and take em all at once, Im sure some kind of overdose will kill you

I don't care about anything, I've lost all interests and friends. I just lay around all day and if i find the energy i'll play video games.

i tried to kill my self just a few days ago with coal. but i found the light and the light is creating a child that can possibly do good for the world

Every single time lmao.

See Doctors are spineless retards for not just being upfront and prescribing shit rather than enforcing a good lifestyle

>how do I cope?

Exercise, every day.
Eat healthier food, and plenty of it.
Get some sun, every day it's available.
Get at least 8 hours of sleep every night. If you can't sleep that much, be in bed for at least 8 hours with no screens on, no lights.
Spend some time with other people, every day you can, even if it's only 20 minutes.
Take Vitamin D supplements.
Stop watching so much porn. If you can do noporn for a while, that's better.
Spend less time on Sup Forums for a while.

If this doesn't work, you may need to take medication. But really, this is the cure for many people's depression.

same bro :(

So do you literally lay in bed all day doing nothing, just staring at the ceiling for hours , or is your idea of "laying around with muh depression" laying in bed on the computer, phone, etc?

>I refuse to take any fucking meds that my doctor suggests I should take
You're dumb
>Depression is getting to me...
Look at the good deeds you made at your past, do not look ahead. Don't let the ego get you. Better than being a stick in the mud.
>How do i cope?
You need a good diet consist of lots of water, sleep and sunlight. Eat fermented food to feel better and feed your guts. Walk 20 mins a day outside at daylight. Buy small stuff that makes you happy. Stay away from coffee, chocolate and tea.
If you wanna help yourself get multivitamins and anti-depressants.
For a more hollistic approach consume Coconut Oil and take Vitamin D3 and B-complex supplements.

what's bad about that? I'm like always happy when nobody makes me do something because I can do whatever the fuck I want.

...

My life is just passing by and nothing has happened, nothing enjoyable, nothing memorable, nothing good.
I'm just lying here and rotting, whats the fucking point?

People love to whine and wallow in self pity. They also hate being told they're being selfish pompous cunts. Go figure. Youre not depressed. Its called being out of shape and living a shit lifestyle. No meds will fix it. Only exercise and a good diet will. Or yoy know, keep wasting time on the internet then whining about how you're depressed. Im telling you because no doctor will, they would rather prescribe shit.

This idea is stupid and you are unoriginal

TAKE THE MEDS. TRUST.

That's because of the disease dipshit.

What's the point?
So what i'm fucking fit? Does something magical happen? I'm either wasting my life in my bed or wasting my life on a bench press either way its fucking pointless all of it.

Help other people, work in a homeless shelter etc. Helping other people takes your thoughts off yourself and feeds your soul as you are doing something nice for other people

depression is an illusion people have invented when they abandon God. When you have faith in God you don't need meds, you just pray, meditate, connect with God and know that he loves you and is always here. It is impossible to have depression or anxiety when you know God is there.

That's all from the disease. I think you should get some real help.

God is also a med.

repeat after me
I feel much better having give up all hope

Yeah, because spouting that style of rhetoric is helping our cause.

triggered

Lmao. I'm yet to meet someone who claims to be depressed that is a actually truly so. Depressed yet can whine, and wallow in self pity , and post Sup Forums memes. Irs called being a lazy retard with a shir lifestyle.

rhetoric? are you misusing that word on purpose

I am as the granule of sand causing irrigation in the clam's own mouth. Out of me will be a pearl some day.

so far i've taken clonidine then depakote, they're great but when i hit inconsistencies my body breaks out

i got hives from clono but it was the best one, made me sleep early and energetic the next

depakote made me manic but that's because i kept jacking off before going to bed

anyone else have similar stories to share?

That's amazing

Sup Forums is not the place to look imo
I agree with not taking your meds however, it's not a permanent solution
In the long run it's really hard to judge what will help you cope honestly; it's best to find people who support you and make you feel comfortable to be around.

Or honestly, do weed. I've heard it does wonders for my friends. I won't ever do weed myself but shit I've heard it's great

The point is that you can do whatever the fuck you want, just go out and get wasted and black the fuck out if you want something to happen or whatever. If you do nothing of course nothing happens and you get bored and depressed.

>Implying the moment you get depression you turn into a vegetable that cannot communicate.

Jesus, become a junky like everyone else. The dope won't help, but talking to your dealer and the other dopers will help you resocialize.

In this life we are born with nothing.
just crying, naked, hungry. Nothing belongs to us. There is no such thing as ownership. When we die, we leave with nothing. It is all dust. The only thing that we have, the only thing we own is our choices, our ability to choose good, bad, God or Satan. That is all we own.

When you feel depressed, realize it is in your own power to choose to be happy.

my dad used to refuse his antipsychotics. on them he was perfectly normal and off them he went batshit crazy and nearly killed me.

you have a chemical imbalance. take your fucking meds, dumbass. and if you fail to do that, check yourself into a nuthouse. there's no shame in taking a break from society.

I don't have faith in god nor depression. I think this 'faith' will only be causing wars and shit like that like it already is.

Chemical imbalances are man made, literally no one has a chemical imbalance until they start taking meds, that's what causes the imbalance.

truth

Depression isn't a choice, douchebag. You think you are being inspiring, but all you are doing is blaming the victim. Might as well tell an amputee to "choose to grow back another limb."

1. Take drugs
2. Stop being a pussy

T. Happiest man alive

Faith in God doesn't cause wars, faith in religion does. Religions are bullshit. God is the creator of beauty, of love, of life and death. God is the creator of duality, pain, pleasure, hate, light and dark. If you resonate with the love then you will feel love, and be happy. If you choose to resonate with depression, you will feel that.

OP, do you have a job? Or anything where you get regular hours out of the house?

Just do what I do and focus on building your body. I started to take it more seriously as of late. I hope you find a hobby or something to focus on instead of killing yourself.

Just do as Rick says and, Don't think about it.

It is a choice, I have had depression, I have been to therapists and taken their ativan and beta blockers for anxiety depression. In the end, when you choose to not be depressed, that's what cures it. When you choose to be happy, you will be.

also there is no victim in depression there is only your choice to be depressed. You are the one with the power to change, as long as you give up your personal power and make excuses you will continue to be depressed. The mind is a powerful thing.

Oh god it's me in a few years. Thanks, I needed to hear my own philosophies to revise how dumb they sound.

I work at a grocery store only on Sunday's because i fucking hate working so i cut hours.
I'm also going back to high school really soon (failed last year because I missed too many classes sleeping in).

Have you considered volunteering? Or picking up a hobby? Carpentry or whatnot?

OP Depression is a shit and madication makes one feel that everything its a lie, but the truth is that depression won't let you see the all the
possibilities, depression only makes you think that all its wrong or empty, do exerice, make sex and if you kill your self do not hurt someone else, and .... do it on a live stream for some fun here in Sup Forums

have you considered becoming a trap?

If i do get interested in a hobby it only lasts temporarily and i lose motivation to even think about it.
I took wood working in High school and really liked it so i bought a miter-saw so i could make some shit even sell it. It's been laying in the garage for 2 months still in the box.
