Got girfliend with a type of depression. She's ok right now.
Patience. Therapy. A psychiatrist and time with him/her would work. Good luck nigga

Yeah, I got a cousin that killed himself.
Poor guy had a sad life.

Thanks
I know we joke about an hero, but when some one you love suffers from that, it just kills you inside

Glad to get help

In my fourth year of uni and a five year program. Serious depression developed in my first year.

It comes and goes. I think about dying almost every day but keeping busy seems to be a half-cure and the only thing that never fails to work.

Meds aren't great, especially if you like to do drugs from time to time. Feels bad man.

Nothing helps if you got it good.

>Was never clinically diagnosed as depressed, but I spent most of the last 14-16 years hating myself and wishing I was dead.
>Took some acid for a while while I rethought some things.
>Most of my depression is gone now.
>Even when I am down, it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be and doesn't last long.

Hope you get better soon
Your family loves you, trust me I keep my brother from getting too depressed constantly

must bumb

Great, glad to hear

Thanks. The best part, at least as far as I'm concerned is the way in which it helps. Where it seems to me that antidepressants only treat the symptoms of depression and therefore need to be taken regularly; acid worked on me by helping me change my perspective on different things, so it's already done its thing and I don't need to do any more.

Yeah, acid also helps with PTSD
the chemical was isolated to not have psycodelic affects but treatment is still banned

>What helps?
Drugs and alcohol.
>What makes it worse? etc etc
Drugs and alcohol.

Double edged sword my friend. You want to fix it, find a good, reputable licensed therapist and work with them to fix it. You want to cover it up? Drink a lot and smoke some weed, when that stops working, I dunno, kill yourself. At least that's pretty much the next step for me.

My buddy use to smoke weed to numb the pain, I think it only delayed the problem

Yeah, see the second half of my plan.

If anything I think it's starting to make it worse. I used to get high and watch funny shit once in a while to relax. Now I'm getting high every other night or even more, and all it really does it make me zone out and think about my failures as a human.

Only way to fix a problem is to fix it

Work hard, and work constantly and hopefully it will help

Stay busy, don't let your depression stop you

You CAN do it
Shit, human ingenuity is a powerful thing

I'm trying, dude. Nothing helps. Nothing feels good. Nothing gives me fulfillment or happiness anymore. Shit just sucks all around.

I know the right answer. See a therapist, talk about my problems, get on a regiment of medication to alleviate the symptom so I can work on the underlying issue and then slowly taper off the medication so it's not a crutch for my life. But fuck if I want to work that hard at it.

Sorry, not trying to shit on what you're saying, you're absolutely right and I appreciate the advice. Just in a shitty mood, as usual. Thanks for the kind words, user.

Anytime
A few kind words go a long way

Well yeah, big pharma already has way too much money invested in making you buy their drugs instead. They're not going to let goverments just legalise alternative methods.

Hope you feel better some day

Antidepressants are an obvious answer. I've been taking them for 3 weeks and they have helped. However, I find I'm sometimes unable to even be sad when I should. Connecting with people who suffer from the same issues as yourself is really helpful. Whether it be online or in person doesn't matter. It's a tough fight but keep fighting. If you kill yourself you're a pussy in my opinion. (Coming from someone who has suicidal thoughts and has depression)

Autism help me bump

Anti-depresents are weird, artificial dopamine doesn't help

Meth is a artificial dopamine

DON'T BE A JEW

Thanks for the tip

I BET YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS A JEW AND YOU'RE A NIGGER

acid is a life saver i tell you. i was also in your case, clinically depressed and about to kill myself. id thought if i got some acid atleast i would be happy doing it. i tried it and it jumped over most things that anti depressants would do in over a long period of time. i still have anxiety tho.

Emotional blunting is a side effect of most antidepressant I have Borderline personality disorder and finding something that worked well took a while that part is honestly not bad to some of the nausea i would get

ALL HAIL THE HIPNO ACID!!!!

Only works part of the way

Bumb it and fuck it

and im still a sleepy CUNT. like bad sleepy.

HAHA yes. dude dmt also works a charm. such a cool experience.

FUCK THOSE NAZI HATING JEWS

I have it. Progressing helps for me because I know I'm doing something or helping others as well.

What makes it worse? When others think you're a pussy for being depressed. They think you're making excuses and that you're just too bitchy. I need people to be understanding and my own parents aren't because of that. My boyfriend of 3 months understands this better than them and I became bi for him because of that deep understanding he has for me. And on the side note, bad grades.

Acid is best dragsssss

There has been a lot of research that shows that vitamin b-6 helps. Also zinc if you experience anxiety or fast changing moods. I have borderline personality disorder with a lot of depressed moods. It's helped a lot. ALSO take vitamin D. Everyone runs low on it and people with depression normally ALWAYS need Vitamin D. I highly recommend taking supplements.

Great tips, thanks

Wow
that's a lot to unpackage

There's a biochemist who's found out a lot about this. I would go look up his stuff.

walshinstitute.org/
It'll help you find out what's going on and what could help you.

This.
Drugs and alcohol are like a temporary relief from everything and are fantastic until things go downhill. Than they make you feel worse than you ever have before and think more irrational than you usually would.

For me, personally, i am never more calm and relaxed than when im fishing and try to do a lot of it.

That's pretty cool. I feel like people should open themselves up to nature instead of just being stuck in a room Ifor they can.

>be a mobile fag

If they can*

Yeah I got depression. I deal with it by telling people when I'm depressed or having suicidal thoughts, getting on the right meds, having friends and family that are supportive. I have a chronic disease without a cure so that adds. The only thing that really helps tho? Getting really high on painkillers for a few days. Don't over do it or else the withdrawls WILL make you kill yourself. Just enough that I have a few good days where things feel right.

Feels threads really fuck me up somtimes

When I get in a dark place it snowballs. Running and just taking 30 minutes a day outside will do absolute wonders

FUCKING NIGGER

This guy gets it.
You really should. It's the fucking best.

I have depression. Acid helps, finding friends to buy from and trip with is the hard part. Usually it'll be through work that I find it. Just be careful with it. You'll get the message, but make sure you can hang up the phone.
And eat watermelon. Have you ever eaten watermelon on acid? Cause you should

how you know if you are depressed?

I've got a few friends that I've taken acid with. Unfortunately only one of them and myself are the only members of the group who can handle their drugs.

Past few days my depression was pretty bad I'm not sure at this point if something in my cannbis triggered my depression or if my current medicine isn't working anymore but was feeling really bad suicidal thoughts few times I almost had to get myself Baker acted but I just don't wanna be drugged up like I was when I was a kid.

I just deal with it and drink on days off. No lie.

I have been depressed for most of my life. I dip in and out every 6 months. What really helps, surprisingly, is not having friends. Whenever I just do what I want to do and ignore everyone else then I feel a lot better, even though it's still there. Alcohol makes me feel worse alone, but better when I'm with friends. Weed does not help. It's good temporarily but it makes you feel worse after. My secret, even though it's probably unhealthy, is ignoring texts, and doing random shit. I'll just take a drive out to a random fucking place and look around. I often sit in my room and do anything that comes to mind, and no one can tell me to do otherwise. Besides that though, it's been hell. I could talk about that too if you want

Depressed fag here. Don't know much that helps, guess i just survive between bits of being sad. I've been so introverted, i don't think i even know how to make friends anymore, thats been my hope that friends would make it better.

Go find help from a psychologist or something. Almost noone gets out of a depression by themselves.

I suffer from depression for about 10 years now. Nothing made me happy, everything just seemed grey and boring.
Weed helped me because boring things suddenly became fun but after a while it dragged me down more and more.

I talked to a doctor and he prescriped me "Sertralin".
Taking 150mg every day and after about a month everything became better.
Now after a year on sertralin I have no panik attacks, I enjoy life more and I am happy.
Of course not jumping-and-singing-rainbow-unicorn-happy but I feel like a normal person. Sertralin helps me a fucking lot

Been seeing a psychologist for a few months, she declared me "moderately depressed", am waiting on a an appointment with my pcp next week to try some meds. What meds are good nowadays for depression/anxiety?

My depression started in my last year of high school, and I've had social anxiety for as long as I can remember. I've had few friends throughout my life, and each have drifted away from me in one way or another. In my second year of high school I (somehow) got a girlfriend, but she turned out to be manipulative and abusive, both psychologically and physically. When she left, it was rough. Despite the shit she did to me, she was the only person I've hung out with in years. So then it just kind of sunk in that I'm gonna be this way forever, and I got really sad. Now, a few years later, I drink alone almost every night. I hate this. I hate my social anxiety that prevents me from doing even the most mundane interactions with people without having a fucking nervous breakdown.

You can't escape depression from your own. It is a chemical disorder in your brain. Your body does not produce enough serotonin.
See my post above. Sertralin (that's what it's called in Germany) helped me and my best friend, too.

Holy shit.
Fuckin same.

But heres the cool part for me, I just recently quit drinking after dealing with 5 years of daily drinking heavily. I feel better than ever. Im on my third week clean.
Seriously.
It has severely decreased my depression/anxiety issues. Dealing with the cold sweats, irritability, and other symptoms of withdraw sucked, but its worth it.
I have goals. It is best to start with goals. First goal was to sliw the alcohol doan to one or two beers a day, then one a week, until I didnt feel like it was necessary to have any at all.
You just have to realize you are going to feel nervous. You will feel anxious at times. You are mentally strong enough to overcome this, after all, its all in your head.
I dont sleep all day anymore. Im excited to get up and do something.
Taking my dog for walks, exlporing, weed, and coffee have been my saviors.

Pills are for the weak minded. They make you worse overtime and you have to take them your whole life.
Just accepting life and working toward change is best.

anti depressants have changed rapidly in the last years. New meds like sertralin have almost no side effects and you don't have to take them your whole life

Ill have to look into it. Interesting

thanks for giving me a place where i don't feel so alone, Sup Forums. Been coming here for over a decade mostly for porn but these threads shut me the fuck up and reminds me someone understands.

I've become a severe alcoholic and it temporarily helps. I go through bouts of sobriety and taking 200mg of 5-HTP daily G R E A T L Y increases my mood. It takes 3-4 days to really kick in and it will cause you to dream big time. Why do I continue to go back to boozing though?? I'm a fucking idiot.

Go to tradeschool and learn a trade. Apprentice in something. Look up local unions and start applying.

I used to have SEVERE panic attacks and started taking a generic version of Lexapro obtained through an online overseas pharmacy. This truly saved my life. After 2 years on this, I slowly weaned myself off of it. (Never stop an SSRI cold turkey)

user it honestly depends- theres two types of depression. either depression caused by a event or depression caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. so basically everyone will have a different way of dealing with it

I wish life had an off switch. Or a little x I could click to make it all go away. I'm so tired.
