Are you depressed?

are you depressed?

if so, how many of these apply to your lifestyle habits?

all except smoking, yet I am pretty happy and content

All of these apply.

I used to be depressed, just recently started becoming happy again. Took shitloads of alcohol.

>happy and content
>looking for interaction on Sup Forums

>are you depressed?
Since I was in Junior High

>if so, how many of these apply to your lifestyle habits?
I fap almost every day. Then I won't fap for a LOOOONG time, then I'll get into a groove again.
I haven't smoked weed since by anxiety started getting very bad, and even then it was only when other people were doing it around me.
I haven't worked out regularly since I quit football in High School
I don't eat fast food often
I don't drink often
I don't go out often
I'm often too lethargic to play video games
I'm online most of the time
I haven't taken any kind of anti-depressant for years
I've had a cigarette or two in my life, but never developed a habit
I go to sleep around 6 AM (but to be fair, I work till midnight on a regular basis)

I don't drink or smoke anything.

The image is confusing symptoms with causes though.

nobody cares

A guy asked questions. That means at least one person cares.

Lol just about all of these. Im trying to change these bad habits atm

its a chicken and egg feedback loop thing.

people do all these things to get a rush of dopamine to make themselves feed good, but its not sustainable.

no social interaction
in dark room
lurking, vidya, binge watching/reading and chan posting all day long

none of the others
i just feel numb with no high points or anything to look forward to

only two of these apply to me, lookin pretty guud

i dont smoke weed, eat fast food, have a shitty sleep schedule, smoke cigs, an morbidly obese or take prescription drugs. the rest is true though

Obviously fap is the main cause of depression

>i go to the zoo because i'm actually a monkey, not because i enjoy observing monkeys in their natural habitat

good post edgelord kill yourself and get it over with already

7 applies for me, but i feel fine actually

yes, like two (internet, fapping). this is stupid.

Lifetime major depression, The only one of these that applies to me is that I play video games.

I go for 30 minute walks in the sun every day, I work out for an hour a day, I cook everything I eat, do no drugs, don't drink, don't masturbate, don't smoke, wake up at 0600 and go to bed at 2200 every day.

It only took five years of trying different medications to get one to work right.

I tried all of the meme suggestions like >exercising
>nofap
>eat healthy
>go to sleep early
but the only thing that changed is that I felt worse than before because I couldn't even enjoy the little pleasures of eating shit that I actually like or smoking a cigar. I am in good physical heatlh by the way, but my mental health is a mess.
So now I went back to living as usual, better than the awful "clean" lifestyle. I was never meant to live like that.

Pornhub, booze, occasional burger, not running

I get way too much social interaction and too little internet. Dont feel like myself so i dont feel happy. I drink, no cigs, no pornhub, no vidya, no prescription drugs.

Not depressed and I have my reasons go kill yourself superior asshole

Everything in that pic is a result of depression, you don't want to be around people, you don't want to do shit, you don't even want to get out of bed, so you find comfort in eating shit but rewarding food and masturbating for that little burst of dopamine, and the hunt for porn gives you joy.

I go out everyday, walk in the sun, have to talk to tens of people, don't smoke, drink or do any drugs, get plenty of sleep, on the days where I don't actually work out I still walk a fuckton, I do fap in the morning and maybe before falling to sleep, and eat the occasional shit meal.

Guess fucking what?, still depressed and hateful.

tl;dr: the pic was made by the same faggot that spouts
>lol just b ur self bro.
or
>lol just b happy bro.

What else can we do then?

Tired of hating life and honestley trying daily but nothing seems to help

What u on now?

Depression didn't start with this, but at this point yeah, that's probably what keeps it going.
>9/12

3 massively nearly sucidially depressed sometimes. porn fapping watching tv and video games... i attribute my sadness to mostly realizing that love is a quickly fading lie... i'm a romantic living in an age where romance is dead

tbh i try to just be happy. and my life is probably shittier than even the average b user. but i really try to be happy and force myself to enjoy things.

not that it helps. not always at least.

depressions won't go away. that's why we gotta fight every day. getting outta bed is a real struggle, so is wanting to do things.

but if you give up, you are going to be worse than you have to. just take something as a focus and try to convince yourself.

people with cancer fight the cancer.
depressed people fight themselves.

300mg Seroquel and 25mg Deplin.
It took a long time to figure out the Deplin was the key to making the Seroquel work right.

wtf is depression? i just don't really know.

Thanks OP. It's threads like this that make m realize I'm not depressed. Just bored.

Not that user, but several worthwhile reads and advice later taught me life is generally just shite, it doesn't get any easier, in fact it keeps getting worse, even if you want for nothing, you're still human and will inevitably get sick or have something horrible happen to your body, which in of itself is suffering, and you will have to watch the people you care about around you suffer the same fate.

That and the fact that you do get more grumpy and cynical as you grow older, you lose that childish sense of discovery and bewilderment, you've see much, too much, and it takes it's toll on your head, you grow harder to please or surprise.

Granted, some people are simple minded or don't think too much and have it easier, but we're all in the same boat, their brains just perceive reality a little differently than we do.

user once rephrased a Nietzsche quote, To live is to suffer, you just have to find meaning in the suffering.

tl;dr: Work towards something, set goals and move towards completing them, you need a purpose to live.

>the live till 35 deluxe pack


Wew lad, you're on your way

>thinking cause and effect is entirely one sided

depression is when you want to kill yourself just for the fuck of it because life sucks.
depression is when you are very sad all the time
depression is when you isolate yourself from everyone because it hurts too much to be around others
depression is getting high or drunk all the time to try to deal with your problems
depression is your wife cheating on you leaving with the kids forcing you to pay child support while she runs around with 5 times more money than you do and you are fat, bald, old, ugly, unfuckable, and unloved
depression is eating dinner alone out of a tuna can while in bed and crying yourself to sleep

What a coincidence

Then I guess I'm not depressed.
But I do all these things, but weed, drugs and smoking.

That would be really bad, considering I'm 27 and I have no plans to live past 30 (at the most).

I see. Thank you user. Will keep plugging away i guess.

I think i need a hobby

>depression is when you isolate yourself from others because it hurts too much to be around people
Defined my life.


Depression is hiding your empty eyes with a smile because you don't want to face your problems when explaining them to others.


All of them except for the weed, cigarettes, junk food and no gym.

Also, depression is never knowing wether you're happy or sad, since you've only known one of the two for such a long time that you cant tell the difference between them anymore.

I see. Well grats user. I'm kinda on the fence on rather i should change meds or just go off them

Define depressed

I'm not sure suicidal thoughts always accompany depression

>masturbating for that little burst of dopamine

The only dopamine we'll ever taste in our morbid, dull lives.

It doesn't make me happy, or turn me into a zombie, it just gave me a changed my range of emotions from "very depressed to depressed" to "depressed to not as depressed".

Doesn't sound like much, but it was a real life changer.

I see. Intetesting read user. Thank you

These are me except I exercise everyday and don't drink. I'm a lonely fuck.

cool story male or female?

>are you depressed?
Not particularly. Broke as fuck, but not depressed.

>junk food
>weed, but only on vacation cause im too much of a junkie to enjoy it responsibly
>fap, but who doesn't fap
>drinking to sleep, but not as heavy as pic related, more like 2 pints of lager
>no social interactions

gf lives in another city, my only friend also lives in another city and my sister in another country.

i care and read through that whole comment

Used to be depressed, had all of them except I was skinny and I had social interactions but I was a fucking autist

Started working out, quit smoking, quit smoking weed, quit drinking excessively, stopped doing cocaine and shit just went smooth from there.

Glad to not be a beta autist anymore. There is a chance for everybody tbh

Everything except Prozac and cigs

I care

While this does match a lot of my habits, I tend to blame Sup Forums for my depression. One of these days I'll leave for good.

who tf are you people? when has Sup Forums ever cared?

you had any trigger to start? because i am looking for one, desperately

can you stop being edgy and stfu?

you just start. It sucks for 7 days.

"hit the gym, working out helps fighting depression" - every single person in my social circle ever
>mental retardation

just basically overnight?

lmao
10/10

I used to masturbate a lot but some days you just don't feel up to it, y'know.
Sitting too much, and going on the internet a lot are the only of those that are super accurate. Videogames too I guess but it's like jerking off and I just don't feel up to give it a shot for a few days or weeks sometimes.

Everything except marijuana, that's for retarded.
