How do people in your country stop being depressed?

How do people in your country stop being depressed?

Buddhism unironically cured my depression. But you have to commit to it, no meme Buddhism like Zen either.

Can you post a short guide or something please. I've tried meditation, and it helps a little, but only a little.

Dancing naked in the streets

I went to the gym and started walking rescue doggos at he local RSPCA.

They use drugs in order to kill their emotions.

Its called stop being a little bitch and start being happy

Post links and shit i have to READ or DO. I have been looking into this from time to time. Also tell me what you eat as well

that's the case everywhere in the west

Does it matter? that's the way things work here too.

What is your buddhist routine like?

It's best to find a local Buddhist center or temple as the bhikkhus there will be able to address your personal issues with meditation. But you need to make sure you are following the five precepts and meditating for atleast an hour each day. Don't worry that you aren't progressing in your meditation or that it isn't working. You just have to do it. Mindfulness will gradually become second nature and you will begin to recognize negative thinking and rely on exercises to prevent it.

Just like go talk to other people and like just bee you'reself you know

Tell me what you eat

My diet is largely unchanged. My portions are smaller on account of being mindful when I eat my meals. Eggs and toast in the mornings. A sandwich and a fruit for lunch followed by a variety of different meals that I will cook for dinner. Probably not different from the typical American diet.

I meditate atleast an hour each day and attend a service at my local center once a week.

okay, what do budhaists usually eat then

>take a hose
>tape one end to your cars exhaust pipe and feed the other through the rear window
>fire up your car, take a comfy position and slumber away

I don't think I have to the willpower

easy steps that changed my life :
1. Stop watching porn and stop jerking off. Let the tension build inside of you.
2. Work out everyday. You gotta do it properly or it wont count.
3.Tinder. At first i thought it wouldnt work but with a bit of patience you'll eventually score tons of goals.
4.Take care of your professional career. Be sure to know what you want to do with your life. Even if you dont just try out/ apply for stuff that interest you.

Food I imagine. Why are you so fixated on this?

I'm not sure. Faith crashed and burned. Moved onto a hobby, but it's stagnating/feels meaningless. Tried changing my exercise routine, and it helps, but only for a few hours. Relationships and friends didn't kill it, either.

I don't think you can be both conscious and happy.

What kind of food

We ignore our feelings and carry on as if everything is fine.

You reach the heart through the stomach

All food. Buddhism has no dietary restrictions for laypeople.

what goes on at the center?

...

They don't. They cope with the miserable life.

They go to work, 40+ years, saying to themselves each evening that they'll change something but the change never comes. They want but cannot.

It's up for debate, but in essence buddhism makes no prescriptions at all about how laypeople should live, as long as Buddhist monasteries exist in your country and receive enough donations to exist perpetually. As long as you can eventually be reincarnated as a practitioner, you are pretty much on the path.

A monk gives a short discussion of a particular aspect of the dharma followed by a guided meditation.

Drug escapism or suicide

working literally, we not have time for it and being a catholic

But how do you do it?

>tfw go to bed and wake up everyday wishing I could sleep forever

Stop taking medicine prescribed by psychiatrist.
Stop fapping keep it at least a week
Stop comparing you and others
Stop buying trashes capitalism offers
Stop eating sweeties or anything unhealthy

There's the five precepts.

Stop being a gay cunt desu

What do people in Mexico think about people who kill themselves?

Which are interpreted pretty much as strictly or loosely as you want. Like you refrain from killing, but still eat meat.

they are people without character that flee the smallest problem

You do it because you have to. You don't feel any better while you're doing it, most people will have no clue what's going on until it's too late. The problems don't go away, they're just ignored. For some people it works their entire life, for some it doesn't. It's worth noting though a lot of Americans in particular seem to think you're supposed to be happy 24/7. Everyone gets sad and depressed. That's okay. That's healthy. That's part of being human. Accept that and try to appreciate the few moments of happiness that come your way.

>people interpret the precepts differently so the precepts are entirely meaningless and don't matter

>Stop buying trashes capitalism offers

It doesn't offer trash, it offers everything. If you pick trash, support trash, and are trash, that's your fault, not capitalism's.

You should realize anything you wanted and bought, in many cases, became instantly unimportant and only a feeling of void left.

That's wrong. I buy what I need. My biggest purchases are tools.

Assumptions are arrogant, my guy. Maybe you should review your spending

heroin

i wish i knew

By killing themselves
Try it, it works

Why are you so mean? ;_;

i watch anime to feet better

Play as anime girl VR.

I build up the courage to talk to pretty girls, make them smile and laugh, but i don't have the courage to ask them out..

but making them smile gives me a couple hours of feeling higher than ever, and then my life goes back to normal.

take pills that break your willy and make you emotionally numb
