Do you ever get over depression? It’s been 4 years now and nothing has changed much, I feel like I’ll inevitably kill myself sooner or later.

Idk man, I've been struggeling with it a lot too. I mean, people say it gets better but that's some bs if u ask me. YOu just get distracted.
Me and my x gf broke up 3-4 months ago and i've been in a dump ever since
yesterday this girl i met 1 month ago told me she didn't have time for me anymore. That shit fucking hurt man.

Depends, do you have sauce? Cause I'd feel a whole lot better

I don't really think so, I have had it for 9 years and it is still going strong, no matter what I change or do differently, I still stay fucked up like this, 2 hospital visits due to my shit choices and still not getting better. I feel like I will kill myself eventually, but I hope you get better user

Life sucks yo, you just suck it up and drive on or off yourself like a pathetic piece of shit.

Struggled with depression for a couple years. Went away on its own. Struggled again with depression for ANOTHER couple years. AGAIN, went away on its own.
Dunno wtf.

maybe you should try changing your life and not "trying" and giving up like a little bitch

Listened to this album at least thrice today, I felt a lot better.

Then the girl I started to love shut me the fuck down.
Now I'm depressed again.

Been dealing with it for about 15 years. Some days it's not so bad, other days, I want to walk in front of a bus. Coupled with the fact that I'm basically forced to be in a relationship that I don't want out of fear that she'll hurt or kill herself if I leave, and it's pretty rough some days.

If you leave, she no longer is part of your core set so it doesn't matter if she khs.
Plus, most who say they will don't.

Yes i had episodes of mania 2 years ago where i would lie in bed all and the at night party, fuck, study, drive fast on mountain roads. I changed by cleaning my room, getting a job, eating healthy and getting fit

A bus? I think of a train.
Or i really dream of filling the car up with gas.
Getting a gallon of vodka.
going in my garage and going to sleep.

But I tell myself it can wait til tomorrow.

FUCK YOU AND FUCK TINA FROM BOBS BURGERS. BEING AN AUTISTIC TRAP IS NOT FUNNY
IT'S FUCKING STUPID AND SO IS YOUR STUPID FUCKING LIFE
NIGGER GUY

Thing is, last time we had a minor argument and I took a few minutes to take a breather on my own, I came home to find her slumped against the cabinets in the kitchen with fresh cuts on her wrist. And let's face it, my dumb ass cares too much to just walk away and let her do it, too.

Learn to face the pain and grow from it. Sup Forums is not the place for a young man such as yourself.

Stream your death cunt

that is true.
Sup Forums loves young men.
young, tight, wet, young men.

my question is , why are there so many depressed people out there?

Social media and the school system.
Mostly the first

everyone is depressed!
they just all hide it because we live in
a world where depression is a curse.

The western culture is under siege from post-modernism and marxism. It is the fundamental problem with our world as it is. It is the reason for all of this. Once you identify it, you are free to grow beyond every normie around you.

4 years is a long fucking time, how is it that you hasnt changed after 4 years??

12 years of depression on and off here, it doesn't go away, but you do learn to manage it a little better as time goes on. It's different for everyone, though. Medication helped me a lot, as well as high intensity CBT

>Do you ever get over depression? It’s been 4 years
Diagnosed with severe clinical depression since 8 yo, 14 years later, still there.
Just kind of gotten used to it at this point.

please stop
I don't need to hear this
Which means I need to hear this
But it's 3am

Then fling yourself out of a window and be done with it. I have very little patience for weak, suicidal young men. Do something with yourself for once.

I'm not suicidal OP, I'm sad NSP man
Just attempting catharsis via internet posts

and it's the worst time of year. every song, every tv show, every movie, will be telling you to spend time with friends and family and get all love and cozy.

if you are sad it's your fault....

but i don't have friends or family. I'll be alone. trying to get away from all the songs and tv shows and movies. (which never helps)

people will invite me over, but why only this time of year? am i a charity? if they help me will they now go to heaven? idk...

it never gets easy. sorry Sup Forumsro. (but remember there are other people going through depression)

Don't worry everything will be fine.

social media? how? all my friends use it , they all eat that shit up

im not depressed...

speak english bro. what are you trying to say? yes we may have a revolution soon, but hopefully peacefully. (jfk)

fuck you

whats your problem dude, you have friends who invite you to shit and your sad? get over yourself

I'm off this bullshit

Just listen to what Jordan B. Peterson is saying and you'll start to understand what's wrong with you. It's a long journey, but at the end, you will achieve everything you currently desire.

Plenty of research on social media and depression/dissatisfaction, but I'm lazy so here's a ted talk
youtu.be/3E7hkPZ-HTk

how can they be friends? how can friends only want to hang out once a year but the rest of the year they are too busy? every time you try to hang they are busy, or cancel or... whatever.

if that's what friends are then I really don't want them.

I'M OP AND I'M SAD BECAUSE I EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM LIFE AND EXPECT IT TO BE GREAT.
Any depressed retard should be slaughtered. Unless your whole family died in a fire you shouldn't be depressed. I have almost died twice and almost been paralyzed, but I don't stay sad because I'm not a retard. Fucking neckbeards man...

NSP
I've been a followed for a while.
Part of my sadness is because I've learned the importance of marriage (even if it only means so much to me), and I've decided that I need to find a new love interest

Depression is a normal, rational reaction to life unless you have no empathy AND you are top-tier privileged. Shake yourself out of it by digging through its sewage to find something to be happy about.

Yeah, it is something that you numb yourself out to it, and it just becomes routine, another part of your life, but there are days where it breaks through and those days are what really test you

I'm depressed too. Not going into detail cause nobody cares anyway. But I guess that's because I live in Belgium, it's a country where they implemented socialism which restrains the indiviual to reach it's highest potential.

they invite you over because this is the time of year you go to people's houses and hang out.

Welcome to adulthood, people don't just "hang out" all the time. It's the reason we have holidays, it's a reason to hang out and get away from the busy commotion of life all at an agreed upon time. Otherwise it's hard to coordinate a time to do so.

It doesn't make you a charity case (though who knows, it might be with you... I don't know you, you might be a god damn fucking bore).

But lots of people are just home bodies and they don't want to be bothered. They get off their long week of work and just want to go home and watch shitty tv and sit on the couch. Recooping for nexts weeks slog.

If you want to do stuff off holiday. Then go out and do so. Have a shindig, a dinner party, go to weekend events.

If you're the type who wants to be social and expects others to be social. Go to social places, meet social people. Lots of towns have public parks and other local places that people frequent. I know of facebook groups that do weekend kickball games, or larping, or jogging/biking/canoeing/etc etc etc.

And this is all over the country... I've lived in all 4 corners of this country, and drove truck through the rest. Most towns have such things. If you're in another country, I can't say for certain... but I'd have to assume most western countries have some sort of social aspect to their culture.

For instance when I'm in New England in any time but the winter, I go hiking in the various state parks. I've met several people through doing it, and we meet up and hike whenever I'm in town.

Florida I do canoeing and bike riding.... many people do the beach, I just don't like the beach.

If you are annoyed nobody wants to be social... take initiative... BE SOCIAL.

well in that case , ya fuck them, where u at u tryin to smoke a bleezy

You're a needy cunt.

Maybe they are fucking busy.

Life is fucking busy.

If you don't want to be friends with them cause they're busy... go get friends that aren't busy. They're all over the place... where do you live, under a fucking rock?

Because you're a fucking retard who has no idea what he's talking about.

wow... i hope this is making OP laugh.
It's making me laugh.
but I have to go to school. l8r.

lel underage faggot

unsure what is so humorous...

I will point out those posts are different people each (I know because I'm one of them).

one part of depression is uncertainty of the future

"I’ll inevitably kill myself sooner or later"

seems like you have a plan at least

>>Do you ever get over depression? It’s been 4 years now and nothing has changed much, I feel like I’ll inevitably kill myself sooner or later.

Do you ever get over depression? Well that depends on the sort of depression you're talking about.

Just being sad? Sure, you get over that. Whenever you get over thing you're sad about. Gf left you, you need to work on getting over that. Sad cause someone said mean shit behind your back, you need to work on getting over it. And I'm not saying that in a "bitch, get over it" way... everybody has ways to "get over" stuff... some people just take longer than others.

Do you mean some sort of minor clinical depression. Like seasonal depression... yeah, most of these usually are temporary and pertain to some outside influence (like the seasons).

Do you mean severe depression... like Manic Depression.

Well... do you have that? How do you know? These are caused by chemical imbalances in the brain and often need psychiatric intervention.

Note though... these sorts of depression can have weird timelines. For instance Manic Depression... which actually has a confusing name since Manic Depression isn't some sort of 'always depressed' type illness. The 'manic' part of the name is because of the extreme manic moments that also come with it.

I grew up in a house of manic depressives... I too 'probably' have it, but never been diagnosed, and thusly wouldn't say I actually do. But the management of this requires hard work and determination... or drugs. My mother requires drugs to deal with hers, and with them she's a semi-functional human being... with out them she's a crazy batshit insane woman that scares the children in her neighbourhood.

>chemical imbalance
Shlomo's lie

Here's the thing you say you may kill yourself in due time.

But why? Measure that one out some.

Keep in mind... it's VERY normal to contemplate suicide on occasion. You're human, we all have thought about it at some point. People I've met who say they haven't are usually lying/sociopaths/mormon.

When you're down, you may consider such things. Fuck it... what's the point... so on and so forth. In these types of situations you just some help finding a goal in life to redirect you. A hobby, travel, something to get you over whatever has got you in a rut.

Where as if it's compulsory thoughts... well that again needs psychiatric intervention.

For example... my family is all manic depressives, schizophrenics, and the sort. The ones in my family who are suicidal often are compulsory in the notion.

What do I mean by compulsory you might be asking...

Well, consider the idea of not owning knives not because you're afraid you'll kill yourself with them if the mood strikes. But because there is an actual twitch in your brain that will attempt to kill yourself while you're using them for normal daily use. Like a demon controlling your arm or something...

Of course, this is an extreme notion of compulsory suicidal tendencies.

But the general theme is there. The idea of suicide is not something you so much desire, but rather something that yerns in you.... like hunger, or exhaustion.

Like you ever not get enough potassium, or iron, or something in your diet. And you just have this strong sinking desire in your gut eat a specific food to fill that NEED.

That's the feeling... and that needs psychiatric intervention.

So...

What sort of suicide are you talking about?

Are you implying that severe mental disorder is a conspiracy brought on by the Jewish people?

Have you never met the severely insane?

I might agree that media has gone a long way to convince people who are just feeling down that they have severe depression when they don't (I guess you can call them the 'jews')... but just because middle class Sally has the dumps because her feel feels were and thusly takes some xanax or paxel or what not because her doctor is lazy and is fine taxing her insurance for useless medication...

Does not mean that people suffering from several Manic Depression and other psychological disorders are the same way.

Cause I assure you... this is not the way it is.

cont'd

This is why I'm actually asking OP to what degree they're feeling.

Cause if they're just regular old "I feel sad cause things in my life aren't so happy right now... friends are busy, I miss my ex, so on so forth".

Well... I want them to understand that it's normal human thing, and they just need to find something that makes them happy.

But if they're compulsory, and clinically fucked up.... well, that's a whole other game.

The severity of the distinguishing the two is very important.

Bipolar here. About 7 years now that i know of. Constantly on meds. Watch your doses. Talk with doc/shrink every month or two. Keep close eye on your moods and take care of yourself both physically and mentally. Try to Fix sleeping schedule and you'll live all right. Also lose behind shit job in place of something thatll feel more comfortable.

All that said I know if I fuck up i still might end myself sooner or later. It weights on me... There's some nihilism to it since i got very very close once. Take care mate and do your best till.you care at least slightly. Cheers.

Only a few.

Move and change your life completely.
When i went to japan on exchange my lifelong depression literally vanished. I had a cry in the hotel about missing my old life
Next days it felt like i was born again
I could be myself and meet new people, i was happy for a solid 4 months before i left and lost all my friends. Now im worse than ever.
Working on going back soon

youtu.be/hbxNCpG1NBY this vid helped me.

Therapist always told me when a depressive episode lasts for more than one year it's chronic and you need two years of treatment for one year of depression. From personal experience I can tell it never goes away and you will have dedepressive episodes for the rest of your life probably.. if you wanna talk I'm here for you

Depends.
Have you tried all the "advice" . Like go out, sleep 8 hrs, meet people try hobbies, drink/use narcs less, exercise more , try to enjoy life stuff ?
If you haven't start with that. 90% of the people who are depressed are plain stuck in a rut / bored /sad.

Otherwise, talk with a doctor, don't jump to pills. Try therapy.

After all that, if it's still there, take the meds, see if there is any improvements.

For me, I'm still depressed as fuck. Meds just help me care less about not being able to enjoy anything. Although, I'm just at 2 months into treatment, after 10 years trying to convince myself to man up and just get over it.

Pretty much all throughout middle school and high school I had it because of shitty grades. Been able to hide it well enough for all this time, but now I'm just not giving a shit about anything. Now I'm in my first semester of college and already I'm 90% sure I'm going to fail at least 3/4 classes. Whats even worse is I haven't even been accepted into my major. The 1 class I need to pass to get in can't be salvaged at this point. Even have an exam in a couple hours for it, but I can't even bothered to show up because I've gotten practically zeroes on all the past ones, so there's no fucking point really in trying. Really want to an hero right about now because I just don't have any motivation or skill to do anything worthwhile.

Been in your shoes. If she actually threatened to kill herself, then it's just emotional blackmail. Wouldn't recommend it, but if you tell her to just do it, chances are, she'll find another method to manipulate you. If you want safe out, contact her parents, get her out of your responsibility, then walk away.

If you just believe she'll kill herself without her saying anything you are just having illusions of grandeur and your narcissism us half the reason of your depression.

13 years

3 years ago I stopped leaving the house. Most of the days I just mindlessly scroll down tumblr and sleep. On a rare occasion I'll do all the chores that have been piling up over the weeks or try making some art.
It's pretty shitty but as cliche as it sounds, I still cling to the hope that someday I'll find someone who will rekindle the flame inside my heart

Visible cutting is just attention seeking behaviour. She is manipulating you. Could be malicious or just out of fear of being alone.
I'd still suggest to move on. If she ever gets better, she'll leave you behind just like her old problems. If she doesn't, you are in for a lifetime to look ahead on her dependant behaviour.

Being alone sucks at start, after 2 months you realize being alone feels much better than being someone else's dependency.

Care?? You're being guilted man! You are being fucking manipulated!
Get her sectioned PRONTO
>call 911/her doctor
>tell them she keeps trying to kill herself
>give them examples of all the times she's done it
>tell them she's eyeing up the knives in the kitchen and rants crazy shit all day
>wave goodbye as the men in white coats help her into the van and drive away.

If you can't do that, stay with a friend for a month or so and cut all communication with her.

She's a literal parasite, stop letting her get away with it. She's stunting your growth as a person and really limiting your options in life
NOT TO FUCKING MENTION screwing with your mental health. Get rid of her!

To be fair. If people are only inviting you during Xmas and shit, then chances are their reasons is actually charity.

Look at us, inviting this sad loser, if it wasn't for us, he'd be alone now.

Fuck that, friends make time. If you ever tried to reach out, follow through and nothing came in return, they are not your friends.

>I get it fucking hard
>I'm married to a beautiful wife and I have an amazing son. Everyone at work loves me.
>I am super talented
>but I'm also too stressed out all the time to reach my potential. I get all these crazy thoughts and it tires me out and puts my productivity level at about 10%
(My 10% is the same as most people's 90%)
>when I'm great I'm unstoppable but when I'm down it's like I'm a monster.

So I drink....drink makes it all better

There is friends and then "friends".

One of those groups are not found everywhere and believe it or not, some of us feel better when alone, compared to spending time with the other.

Sooooo this

Medication
>antidepressants
>mood stabilisers

Had depression for 10+ years
Mood stabilisers are helping

Good advice, good to hear you're trying to get serious help. Hope everything works out for you

lol I live in Japan....it's great for a short stay but this play is crazy man. If you can work with other foreigners you'll be ok tho

Don't we all mate. Sounds like you're in a real rut.
try joining a group, or doing some volunteering ?
It should help

you, sir, are a true imbecile.
here, suck my dick.

SSRIs and staying busy. If that doesn't work fall back plan is old fashioned poly drug abuse

It doesn't get better. You just get stronger. Stop making excuses and think of some stuff you want to do before you die, don't stop until you achieve it.

Nah, you just live with it. Have fun.

Hope so too. If it doesn't, I'm going with the world is your oyster copypasta. My plan of suicide is joining one of the terrorist groups I despise and offing as many of them in their sleep before they stop me.

This, OP. Start being more independent, move to somewhere else, meet new people.

Sounds like the adventure of a lifetime mate, usually guys will set out on an adventure like that and end up getting married an shit.
Good luck, whatever you do

That sounds like a great idea. It'd be a good mockumentary.

Not really. You just learn to deal with it better. I was diagnosed about 15 years ago. Been on and off meds / therapy since then. Sometimes better, sometimes worse.
