How do you escape depression? Any Sup Forumsros been there?

Never thought it'd happen to me but now I just feel like shit.

I'm not a fat neet by any means, so I'm gonna try go to the gym, start a martial art and hopefully that will help.

Yeah, use karate to fight away the bad feelings.
Then you can break boards with the rest of the five year olds.

Was thinking Jiu Jitsu

...

Quit porn/fapping. Might not be the only cause of depression, but its a major unnecessary drain of dopamine that causes lack of motivation/excitement for things you should enjoy.

I was trying to fight it on my own for about 6 months and i failed. Then I started to take antidepressants and that helped me after next 4 months

Just don't want to be dependent on them and surely they don't solve the root of the problem.

Nice and good point, what's better than nutting?

...

After this 4 months i stopped taking these drugs (escitalopramum and trazodone) and im completely fine

i remind myself daily mama didn't raise no bitch

That's what gets me more depressed because I thought it was just a pussy thing. I could just snap out of it.

I'll look into it. Did you have any lifestyle changes as well?

Honestly fucking a hot chick in the ass can do wonders. Advise you give that a shot.

A depression is usually caused by stagnation in your life.
You either don't progress and feel you don't achieve anything (no passion, hobby or source of new entertainment) or you just live your life the same every day (can be school, job or anything really).
It's not easy to get out of there, but I recommend you to try new small things, like new hobbies or just things you've never ever done before. It can be anything, writing, reading, making music, playing sports etc.
It helped me when I got that problem.

You don't.
You learn to live with it.
You use it to harden yourself.
You use it to cope with the fact that it's a shity life in a shitty world.

great post man. That's it I just feel like my life is the same everyday.

you can try all kinds of things
socialization
cbt
exercise (both resistance training and cardio)
eating micro nutrient rich food and cutting back on sugar/transfat
meditation
SSRIs

talk to your doctor you fucking idiot

I already felt like shit in my life couple of times. The things that helped me was trying new things. I am an IT guy so computers and programming was my whole life, and then I decided I want to try cars. Out of nowhere, I had nothing to lose anyway, as I didn't feel any joy out of life. It really helped me, right now, almost one year after, I played lots of racing games on a wheel, learned a lot of stuff about cars and I am currently passing my driving license test (I didn't want to get it any time soon).
It's still not my main way of living, but it's really nice to try completely new things you'd never try before.
I had a fucking shit feeling couple of months ago again, and that's when I started to play with electronics. There is a lot of great channels on youtube.

Yup, at first it was hard for me but i started to meet my old friends and doctor told me to get outside my house to catch some sunlight. He told me that it is important to be in The light

I also started to play guitar it helped a lot

stay on the internet, look at lots of porn, browse Sup Forums

I have some depression experience I went multiple time laying in bed for weeks doing nothing but watching youtube and films

Please take up boxing. You sound depressed and you don't give a fuck. You want to get hit in the face. That's how you get real good at boxing, by getting your ass kicked a bunch. Since you don't give a fuck who cares right? It's funny how after getting your ass kicked all the noise gets turned down in life. This will lead to you feeling very calm. It worked for me. Now I'm in the best shape of my life, I am not afraid of getting into fights if I need to defend myself. Life is a lot better.

Yeah I do kind of care about brain damage.

I'll take up Jiu Jitsu or something. I do shadow box but never been to a gym

you get used to it

>How do you escape depression? Any Sup Forumsros been there?
I've been thinking about escaping it with a bottle of rum and a .45.

You won't get brain damage. I got fucked up way more worse playing football than I did boxing. The only boxer you hear about is Muhammad Ali but that was more the parkinsons than anything else. Do your homework, and jiu-jitsu is great for self defense but you don't get those thoughts out of your head rolling around on a mat with another dude. Go to a legit boxing gym where they are sending fighters to the local golden gloves not some boxing aerobics bullshit gym.

Serious question. I'm not op but I'm a fat fuck who put on 100 pounds due to depression blablabla. Would a 6 ft 320 pound out of shape fat fuck even belong in the ring or should I cut at least 50 before even trying to join a boxing gym ? Appreciate any advice. I just want to feel better.

you not gona get brain damage you idiot you have to wear headgear, boxing is for men jujitsu is for gays who like touching other men

Just ignore it. How about taekwondo?

don't even think about it, it is the first great step you may take to escape depression.

One needs to watch his thoughts

I smoke alot of weed. Nothing else helps at this point, where i'm at. If i stop i will end my self, i actually want to die. Smoking takes that feeling away, for half the day. only reason i have not ended my self yet is my gf and close family. Everyday everyone just feels a little bit farther away, so soon i will be done with this. My point was, get help before you end up like me. I have seen the doctors and taken all the pills so not like i have not tried. Thanks that is all.

No but I wouldn't want to go to a gym where they throw you into sparring with other inexperienced guys, or guys trying to impress by taking your head off.

It's the most effective martial arts and the most difficult to master. I think it'd give me focus

shut these negatives thoughts and consider yourself as your best friend. It's hard, but it is worth it

Two friends of mine have the same problem. You won't make it without the meds. Sorry user. You will leave them behind, but better start soon...

I'm a daily smoker, all it does for me is escapism. It doesn't solve anything once I'm sober, it just makes me depend on weed more.

You have a GF and close family man. Suicide would ruin their lives. Do you not love your GF? talk to her about it.

you coward

She raised a soldier.

Depression is caused by observable chemical changes in the brain. Look up things that adversely mess with brain chemistry (drinking, excessive fapping, drugs, etc) and focus on things that positively impact brain chemistry (exercise, socializing, etc).

And remember, being depressed doesn't make you a bitch. Can happen to literally anyone.

I identified the past traumas that were causing my depression and used therapy to deal with them one by one.

start now but be careful not to put a dent in the floor when you're skipping rope

>mfw you post a thread on Sup Forums and you get proper discussion

everyone thinks their martial art is the most difficult to master until they get punched in the face

Watch the early UFC's which were to determine which martial arts was the best. You had Rickson Gracie own everyone. Even the K1 fighters who were 6ft 4.

Watch the documentary 'Choke'

it was royce gracie and he comes from family that invented brazilian jujitsu and started training as soon as he started walking so of course he dominated early ufc against bunch of wannabe karate masters and bar fighters

He fought legitimate fighters at the time and the K1 guys could have stomped him and punched him by your logic. They couldn't do a thing. He didn't throw one punch

if you hate everything, change everything. Maybe all at once if you have to. Get a good wake-up call, ya know?

...

No gym throws people that haven't boxed into a ring to get annihilated at first. You don't go all out. Any competent coach eases you into it. You will get hit, you will hit back. Don't be scared OP give it a shot.

Being that big getting your diet in check is probably most important. Boxing is great because it is intense HITT. You'll burn calories very quickly. Before you can realistically even spar competently you gotta be putting in roadwork as well. Once you're at a weight where you can run a few miles then you can really take the sport seriously, but it will give you the workout you need until you get to that weight.
