Hey Sup Forums. Does a depression ever get better?

Or should I just end it all ? Because I'm on my last energy and I don't take how much more I can take.

Nobody give's a fuck, go away.

(sage)

it gets better, also you should try ECT (electro-convulsive therapy). it's kind of fun, and works miracles for severe depression and low energy.
ask your psychiatrist.

I love you too user

I currently see now ending to this darkness that's inside of my head. But I guess it does

>does depression ever get better

You've literally never heard of anyone surviving depression?

There should be seasonal windows. They are getting shorter and shorter from year to year though

Hit the gym brother. It will do wonders. Also try some mild anti-depresants
- Also let some air into the room, it will make you feel better and go out for walks listening to music or some shit.
Just don't lock yourself in, that's when you start losing the fight

I feel like I already lost the fight, I've got 2 suicide attempts that didn't work because my girlfriend found me or stopped me.. I feel like I can do nothing anymore and just watch it all slip away

Dude, fucking don't.

You will probably ruin someone else's life.

fucking dont.

I won't go into the cheese shit like, don't do it.
I've been depressed for most of my life. It never went away for me. But i was diagnosed with a mental disorder.. So it will never go away for me. I am all alone and have no one around.
I started going to the gym, feels better not much but at least i don't think about killing myself.
YOu should see a therapist, i know it's too general, but at least you should try.
And please don't give up on the people around you. One day, when I'll be dead a user somewhere will rent a hooker , fuck her in the ass break open a can of beer and say "This is for all the anons that didn't make it". Just don't get into that category. Find reasons to be alive. You have a woman that stays with you after two fucking suicide atempts, just do it, just keep yourself alive for the sake of all those of us who have it worse.
Please hit the gym. do some sports, you'll feel better.

Why are you such a dire faggot? OP wishes to engage in conversation about a topic affecting millions, and you feel it necessary to add useless drivel. Go suckatrump.

eat some shrooms

I take an SSRI and prescribed meth daily. It only masks it but allows me to get through the work day without just losing the plot, telling everyone to fuck off and, essentially, fucking my entire family over just because someone slightly irritated me. Does it go away? No idea, but it only seems like it can be managed rather than eliminated.

I already go to the gym, doesn't help me much tbh. I go to a therapist twice a week and still can't see the light. I only have my girlfriend that stays withme out of pity. I'm sure she doesn't love me anymore. I have no reasons to keep gping because everytime I smile I get pushed back in

Yea it does get better. I took meds for a while after years of depression and i feel like it reset me. I'm off them now and feeling pretty good.

I also eliminated a lot of stress from my life which did wonders.

Oh, and also weed. Lots and lots of weed. If it's legal where you are, I highly recommend

We might be a rough bunch... But we accept you, you are us and we are you.
And you can fucking do it. Take her out somewhere fuck in an unconventional place for the love of god. Make her love you again like she used to.
Don't go the other path, the one some of us went... Where we are all alone, working our asses off, thinking " I wanna go home" when you are in the fucking house. Just try your best user. If you die, you'll be remembered by some of us. If you live, you wil be a veteran of countless battles with life. And life my friend, is the biggest boss any game can have. You beat her endless waves of pain, you will be among the greatest, for yourself.

If you tell yourself it's shit it'll be shit.

Pretend your not depressed and you just might trick yourself into thinking that things are going to be alright.

Weird.

Some studies were done that showed working out (especially weightlifting) really helps with depression and anxiety. Simple answer is it helps because it causes your brain to release endorphins yada yada yada.

What helped for me is just denying and joking my way out of suicide. Just joke about suicide and depression a ton until you tell yourself the last thing you want to do is become a cliche.

Time makes fools of us all

Agreed. After being depressed for a while your RAS becomes trained to recognize the negatives in life and ignore some positives.

I did all that and I still think she just stays with me out of pity. I work and all my money just goes away to bills and shit. I have nothing to look forward to anymore. I'm really at the point to just quit it all.

It's ok Joni I still love you
-R

It's get better, eventually
Bt you will have to work on it. Go out, do sport, meet people.

Bad idea while depressed; fucked me up bad

Don't think like that. She stays with you cuz she still has hope for you. If you still love her do it for her.

My best wishes to you, user. The good thing about a suicidal episode is if you talk yourself out of it, the next one will be easier, until eventually you figure out a way to not let it impact you anymore.

I'm pretty sure it's pity. The way she looks at me says it all.
I wish they were easy to do and not survive. Sometimes I feel like dissapearing to see how many people will notice

They won't. What you're saying hits very close to home. But they don't matter. You matter and you have to do shit for yourself. For them you are just a name.

>I am a self diagnosed depressive piece of useless shit and I blame my self diagnosed depression for everything bad happening to me. Being a failure has nothing to do with my dropout from school/college or being lazy and doing nothing. It's all my depression's fault

kys

ok

everyone saying "hit the gym" is basically correct
i was severely depressed for years. i still get down, but not nearly as much
exercising hard completely changed by consciousness
i know you think that exercising won't help with your depression, but i promise you, it will
start with what you can do, and work at it
when you get yourself physically fit, all that mental bullshit takes care of itself. it just works

I literally don't care who's fault it is. But why do that to a child... Any who's fault is it's a heartless bastard.

Wrong user... Sorry

What helped me was having exactly 8 hours sleep and jumping out of bed when I wake up.

try again sweetheart

maybe it'll make sense this time

I support this post.

I'm there with you, I am dying inside and can't do this shit any more. I have spurs of moments where I get shit done and I'm living my life but it doesn't mean anything any more.

Put that last energy to good use

na
just drink wine kid

Yes it does. But once you have it, it never leaves you. It always lingers in the back of your mind, until the day something bad happens and you just fall back into the endless pit that is self doubt.

I have periods of depression but they go away when I have something to distract myself with like work, learning a musical instrument, being with company, going to gym, going outside etc.

>I'm sure she doesn't love me anymore.

That's the depression talking, bud!

Maybe she does. Maybe she doesn't. I wouldn't be surprised if she actually still does, tho.

It's a constant fight, that's for damn sure. But I just hit 40 back in January and I finally decided I'd had enough of doubting myself, feeling worthless, wanting to die.

I still sometimes keep the whole, "I can always just kill myself if it doesn't work out" thing in the back of my head. But I just decided that, instead of being sad, is enjoy life or if sh spite if nothing else.

I don't know how better to describe it than that. When that little liar in the back of my head pops up and starts telling me how stupid I am, or reminding me of every little failure in life (which everybody has btw, even the Chads and millionaires) I remind myself that it IS a goddamned liar and it needs to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.

I don't know exactly how to enact this and have it work other than to just do it.

On the flip side, if you have some physical brain chemistry thing going on, perhaps some medication will help. As my brilliant, extremely talented, cancer-surviving friend says, "If you can't make your own neurotransmitters, store-bought is fine." But don't just pop random shit hoping it will help. Find a good therapist, one who works well with you, one who can figure out exactly what medication you need, if any.

The short answer is, yes. The depression CAN go away. Don't give up, but don't just sit there and wait either.

First off, know that there are those of us who HAVE survived it, and we want to see you on this side of it with us.

You ARE fucking worth it.

This works with varying degrees of success. It really depends on the individual.

>The way she looks at me says it all.

Are you a master of reading body language? Are you a fucking god of reading facial expressions?

I highly doubt this. Even if you are, your depression itself could be coloring your perceptions.

>Does a depression ever get better?
No. It goes over. And you don't learn anything from it. All the thoughts and reflections you made during your depression will feel completely alien to you afterwards.

Then you probably do have a neurotransmitter deficiency. This can be corrected with medication.

Similar boat, Had the materials at hand and the plan in mind. Spent about 10 hours sitting there thinking about it, remembered why i couldn't. There are other people who would be hurt. Not necessarily because they cant live without you, but because they may blame themselves. Either way, until it is considered a mental illness to want to live, there's no easy way out without hurting everyone around you.

>Hit the gym brother.
Fuck off.

What the actual fuck are you even talking about?

What child? Are you in the wrong thread?

Bet your life is real fulfilling

Everything telling you to lock everyone out and lock yourself in is a delusion. by rule of thumb. 99.999% sure

It's a lot of work but definitely possible. Just remember that medication and therapy are the only things we have to curing clinical depression. go to therapy and be honest.

user please kill yourself. It would make me very very happy.

It gets better if you take your meds you half witted piece of shit

The only thing I regret from my depression is that I never took advantage of the situation. Try to do something you grow from, maybe just listen to a lot of interesting music or whatever. Avoid browsing the web. If you manage to go outside, find some park and just lay in the grass all day. Don't try to become less depressed, or even happy, because it doesn't work. Try to do meaningful things that you can do even if you are depressed.

Sooner or later, maybe in a couple of years, you will get better, and the only regret you will have is how you spent your time.

set your sights on money and never stop.

browsing the web is like an unavoidable drug. It'll ruin a lot of people until studies are published to show its negative effects. this is the trajectory of contemporary society, it's like a slow moving trainwreck, it moves slowly towards its doom but you cant stop it, only sit and watch

Good old Booze helps drown the sorrows at least for me it does..

But how would you know if he did?

Why not kill yourself, Mr edgelord?

DownTheRoadXAcrossTheStreet

>the web

It's like the entire world. There's good shit and bad shit. Wholesale "don't browse the web" doesn't make sense.

Nah. I mean, maybe it's okay for some ppl.
One of my worst depressive episodes happened when I drank. Most likely it'll make you feel worse.

an hero and lifestream it OP it's the only useful thing you can do at this point, kill yourself for entertainment

fuck all you faggots in this thread trying to help him

fuck up cunt

Hello, user.

Here's a thought that has helped me:
When I've reached the brink of willingness to be alive, I go to my suicide spot and survey the area as if it would to be my last sight. It may take an hour, or a couple of hours before returning home. I open up my notebook and submit the time and date of death.

The next three days I take as they come, rating the experiences and noting my emotional pattern. Everything that is in the book from the date onwards would have been everything I'd have missed should I have killed myself at that moment in time.

It's a reflective exercise to ultimately reassure that although time on Earth can be unbearable, that there are still experiences that are worth having.

Try having a long walk in those three days, phone a friend for a talk or meet-up, see a relative etc. It is when you're aware that co-existing with others that make you feel safe, or engaging in an activity that makes you feel (semi) alive that it seems to make sense to carry on. Even for just a bit longer.

Godspeed, user.

The internet acts as a concentrated dose of all that is shit in this world, What you'd see in your suburb does not reflect what happens in the real world.

news outlets and shit will target people by catering to fear and hatred, that's what attracts people

It does get better, but not immediately, and not if you don't do anything. Try to make little changes in your life that you know you should be doing and keep at them. Your determination will make you feel better about yourself and allow you to do more. There's no surefire way of getting out of it.. Talking with people, therapy, maybe meds if specialists suggest it, but above all - a lot of work.

New research and treatment is being done to better understand depression, it is now thought to be a physical illness not just psychological. They now think it had a lot to do with your immune system and will start to provide anti inflammatory medication. Also, maybe this is why depressed people drink, alcohol is a natural anti inflammatory

>Your suburb

Cute. You've made an assumption about me and allowed it to color your perception of me, thereby allowing you to dismiss my point.

How mainstream of you.

I contend that any social or societal interaction has the potential to play into the mental feedback loop of the person in question. Doing it via the web may expedite the process vs face to face interaction with other humans.

You act as if news outlets, Facebook, and Sup Forums are the only things on the internet.

It's all a matter of perspective dude. What the other anons are saying is true and stuff, the gym and weed help, but in the end it's you that has to make the decision to escape depression. Try and restart your life, maybe. Just try and remember that you'll have plenty of time in the void of death, there's no point in going early. Do something, anything, that will distract you from your thoughts until it goes away. I dunno, try living in the woods for a year. Take a vacation to somewhere beautiful. Just know that there are ways of seeing the light, you just need to not give up hope of finding them.

my therapist claims it won't get better for me at my stage without medicin. serotonin being blocked or some shit.
