What can one do to boost his mental health and battle with depression?

t. guy who never tried it

stop trying to keep others at your level if you are a lazy fuck, others are capable of more in life

this

Eat some veggies and fruits that you grow with your own hands

Seriously, just live like a caveman. Eat as clean you can, lift shit, sleep at night instead of biz, and fuck women. Stick to a routine or schedule which is the hardest thing to do initially, but once your life has more order or routine, it's already a tad more purposeful. Go travel somewhere by yourself, and stop comparing yourself to others if that's an issue for you too. Hobbies other than biz are good too.

>live like a caveman
Redpilled.

yes enormously, as will the following:
>seeing friends regularly
>spend at least 1 hour outside daily
>healthy food and water
>tidy environment
>regular sleep patterns

I sometimes fall off, but getting into mostly healthy patterns of behaviour will do wonders for your mental health

Lift regularly. As a bonus try to go outside regularly, maybe for a jog but even just a walk in a park/nature etc will do just to get fresh air and sunlight.

You don't need to eat healthy or go on a diet. Just keep it balanced. Eat everything but in moderation. Also big breakfast gives you lots of energy for the day. Try not to eat a lot directly before going to sleep.

Sleep 7 to 9 hours every night. Try to wake up at the same time every day. Takes around 2 weeks to internalize the rhythm/schedule.

Use your time wisely. Not saying you need to wagecuck, but do something other than just satisfying your immediate needs. Learn a new skill or study something, try to become better at it every day. Point is to have long term goals and a meaning for what you're doing, otherwise you might as well KYS.

Another thing that helped me a lot was to completely quit weed. It just made me lazy and indifferent.

Inb4 reddit spacing.

excersise will help. diet will help. doing something you feel is meaningful will help. but most of all cultivating your social life and making good quality (close) social connections is most likely the most important

Fuck the gym. Boring as fuck. I always thought I was just a non-athletic person until I found that it's just the gym itself that is terrible.
Find a pursuit that you can improve at that gets you fit while you actually learn a skill. I like BJJ and bouldering. With bouldering you can actually go out to nature and do epic shit, so much more fun than the gym and with articulate goals to actually work towards like "I want to climb that course". BJJ is fun af too.

gym is an even more awful routine. stop giving stupid solutions to real problems.

Yes.

Small, accruing steps, which repeat. SMALL. Otherwise you will get demotivated and even more deppresed.

It won’t help and anyone here telling you otherwise is lying. However, that’s not an excuse not to lift. People will respect you more and grills will admire you. Your confidence will increase as you feel at home in a new and stronger body. Bodybuilding and weightlifting has been comparable to a psychedelic experience for me, transitioning from a history of marathon running. Weightlifting is better.

You can not physically destroy a demon haunting you when that demon is not physical in nature. Depression is a spiritual battle, it is an angry spirit that haunts you when you are not living up to your potential. Make absolutely no mistake about this, depression is a condition of the spirit. Being stronger may help on the road to conquering whatever battle you’re fighting which has laid you with this curse, but it will not do it alone.

Still, lift. But seek help in this matter from people that love you, from spiritual people, from wise people, and from people that understand bodily health.

Good luck user I love you.

Grow some balls and be grateful they aren’t infected or crushed or dead

It is somewhat true, it won't solve the problems, but it helps. Let me tell you this from my own experience, I am 34 now and managed to transform severe depression to being a relaxed, healthy and most importantly happy human being. It takes time, it takes work and is not comfortable at all, and you will have many setbacks.

Everything about life is balance. If you play vidya 24/7 it is as retarded as going to gym 24/7 when you don't make millions from it. Assuming you don't, fitness and a healthy body is quite essential in being/staying happy and fighting depression. Be active and move, but don't limit yourself to eating and training as much as possible, since it won't change the bad habits you've accumulated. If you are anti-social, you will stay anti-social until you step out of your self-limitations and actually try to be around people, interacting with them CONTINUOUSLY until you become comfortable to do so. This is literally the only long-lasting way to be a somewhat happy individual. If you avoid it, you will stay depressed.

Here is the most crucial part: The feedback also becomes nicer, especially when you are well-groomed, healthy/fit, gathered some sense for adult fashion and have a decent haircut. But that's it. If you still behave like a dick you can be buffed as much as you want. Nobody will like you if you are still an asshole. How do I know it? 5 years of experience in being a tall buffed guy but without girlfriend until figuring out that in order that people are nice to you, you have to be nice as well. You can't just take all the time without giving. It will not work. Contribute to peoples happiness in a nice meaningful way and they will give it back to you. THIS is then the way to achieve own happiness. Don't think about your own "problems" but focus on other people and they are just challenges to overcome. It may sound cliche, but it works. If you focus on yourself, you will only face obstacles.

This is the only fucking retarded way that will never make you any happier and only contribute to your problems. It literally just takes out impressions from your happiness box. Drugs will never ever in any fucking universe make you happier in a lasting way without

Only advisable if you are curious, but the underlying problems only become worse. Only retards give this advice.

Ok same answers that I already know. What about when it's depression + addiction?

You get rid of your addiction if it is so severe that you can't handle your life properly. If you like playing vidya 2hours after working 10hours it is not addiction. If you skip work and lose your job because of it, it is addiction and needs to be eradicated.

Buy chainlink.

A clueless faggot types on the internet.

user is right. Psychedelics alone cannot fix you. But they help you to decontextualise your "suffering" and have been proven in lab testing to recalibrate synapses and the release of chemicals I to the mind.

Exercise, a good diet, and sleep are the holy trinity of good mental health. Medication (and mushrooms are just unprocessed medications) can nudge you in the right direction if you have a lot of big changes to make in getting healthy.

Ride a bike in the morning, works pretty gud

Depressed going to the gym here.
It can make it better for a shot while, but it'll come back, it always does.
But et least you'll be fit, so silver lining I guess

Poop

If you get fit you'll live longer which will mean you have to be depressed for longer.
I would suggest starting a fried chicken and opioids diet.

sadly this.

Only clueless retard is you, coping for the fact that you are addicted if your reaction is so feisty. I still have to laugh at all your bullshit. There is nothing to "contextualize" or gain that you can't get without. Your research is your dreams, drugboy. I know so many of your kind, among my friends and good people who committed suicide after some years when they couldn't handle it.

Tell me how can intoxicating and numbing your awareness EVER make you any happier or fix ANY of your problems and NOT endanger you to get subsequently more prone to being addicted, especially since you are already not mentally the strongest individual when you have depression? Protip: you can't. Everything you need is in your toolset you already have, you don't need any artificial chemical bullshit, otherwise everybody would need it.

Get friends and play team sports with them. That's the only way to cure depression - not being alone and isolated.

Yes. Isolation and social inability is in 99% the cause of depression. Also the reason why drugs won't benefit you here.

Marijuana truly works wonders but you don’t need it I guess .. I started smoking when I was 14 and stayed smoking a lot until about 19 and took 9 months of sober time then 6 more months sober off everything at 20.. now I just smoke weed occasional alcohol sometimes mix a little tobacco in there .. trying to quit tobacco though .. marijuana really is amazing though . It helps your endocannabanoid system by giving it lots of cannabanoids and what the endocannabanoid system does is break down toxins.. with all the exhaust in the air and fluoride in the water and processed food.. I think weed is the perfect medicine/remedy/vice for

Umm... Idk how to tell you retard.. but you cant get addicted to shrooms or lsd or most psychedelics for that matter. Not only that you dont even know how psychedelic change your mind and you talk big here instead of making yourself a little less stupid and researching the topic before talking

>go out and see the world
>look people in the eye
>just lift and eat healthy bro
>help others
>basically just be yourself
>sips
>yeeep, things will eventually fall into place just trust me

I have taken many shroom and acid trips and probably will do more shrooms in my life maybe acid if I get a good trusted person for it.. psychedelics really do open the mind but do not go tripping off shrooms or acid after a high stress time... take a week to mentally prepare and don’t do it uncomfortably.. be comfortable and in a good mindset .. those drugs can’t kill you but if u start thinking negative u will feel dead.. ur mind controls the trip keep that in mind and u can have the best trip of ur life everytime.. never do it more than once or a couple times a month

Depression is a fatal condition, even without suicide the quality of life is just as bad. You need to fight it every day user. You need to set a routine:

Meditation
Mindfulness
Starting Strength (Mark Rippetoe)
Eat well (1g protein per lb, 135g carbs, 50g fat, alter the carbs until your weight moves the way you want; down 2 lbs per week or up 2 pounds per month)
Sleep 8 hours, wake up at the same time every day
Drink water
Focus on your hygiene
Read Ayn Rand
Stop jerking off and watching porn

Fuck these faggots user, they're just subhuman trash that thinks they belong here but they've never understood this place. I believe in you, you can do this. Keep faith that this process will make your life better. The modern man needs Faith, it doesn't have to be from religion. One day at a time user. Use habit building apps.

>while it is possible to get addicted to pretty much EVERYTHING, for sure I cant get addicted to psychedelics

probably the most stupid thing I've heard in a while, and I browse Jow Forums A LOT.

Also as an addendum, psychedelics as others have said are a fantastic tool. But do not use them unprepared or you will do more damage. Read Timothy learys book based on the Tibetan book of the dead, I forget the title but Google it

I may have saved a life bringing up the true power of psycadelics and the mind strength and preparation necessary for a successful and eye opening , worth while trip

Lifting is good for developing discipline, definetely do that.

This user gets it. Pretty much also my routine.

Beneficial habits may sound "boring" and conservative, but in reality they just improve your life quality and cure you of depression. It is hard to build them however. You need to want it. Just have to build them up and not do it 2 days. Do it 90 days and it will also protect you more from falling back to shitty habits.

Nofap also works wonders in terms of getting girls because you are so much more dominant, fearless and craving for that pussy that you go the extra length, until you so desperate, that you just TAKE the women and in most cases she will like it, because this is truly attractive.

If you're willing to try a team sport, definitely go for Rugby.
1. You'll make friends, real friends. Not beta friends that ditch you at the first sight of trouble. Rugby players are mostly alphas and value loyalty and camaraderie very highly. A lot of them are true gentlemen off the field as well. Doesn't mean that they will accept you immediately, in fact for most teams I joined people were quite hostile at first. It's a close circle and they test you before letting you in.
2. Anyone can play. Short, tall, fat, skinny, slow, fast. Doesn't matter, there will be a position that suits your physique. Being slow and fat is not an excuse, just means you'll be playing at prop and scrumming/cleaning rucks.
3. You will most likely shit your pants the first time you walk on for a match, especially if you're a manlet. I almost did. But I can't describe to you how good I felt after my first match. It feels like going to war and making it out the other end. Teaches you to overcome your fears. Also there is no pain involved, adrenaline will sort that out.
4. It will also basically implicitly teach you everything you will need to sort your life out and succeed

>in great shape and eat extremely well (low carb diet; mostly meats and greens)
>6’2
>catch girls regularly looking at me
>have plenty of self confidence
>not depressed, anxious, or anything of that crap

However, I just find normie activities incredibly boring. Anyone else like this? I don’t enjoy drinking, watching sports, playing video games, or any of that crap.

I’ve tried multiple times to go to bars with people but the conversations people have are so unbelievably boring — I’d much rather just be at home watching something interesting or browsing Jow Forums.

Anyone else have this problem?

Yes I feel U I’m antisocial but a lot of people out there doing normie things are too. I spent most of High School isolated and smoking weed ..find some friends that like what u like then get to know people and have relationships .. and or like for me I’ve become
More comfortable being alone cuz nobody can truly understand ur mind and what’s going on in your life besides you

Clearly from all the incoherent babbling here the drugs seem to have affected your brain. You are the best example to actually prove my point.

This, also, eat a large breakfast, as much as you can stuff in there, don't be "But I'm not hungry", eat breakfast -> mostly proteins/fats/fruit n chill on the carbs and sugar

Have a good looking face body and cock and have a 9/10 gf which you can bareback daily

i was in the subway today and this very good looking dude entered (he was short btw).
he sat and after a while two girls sat next to him (one was in front of him) and when she noticed how hot he was she sort of started communicating with gestures for the other one to check him out. girl was wet just from looking at it.
i found the whole thing very funny but after a while that made me feel like shit cause nobody will ever look at me like that.

lifting won't change that. you will still be ugly

Everyone ages and will look like shit eventually. Looks are totally meaningless unless you are a degenerate loser who enjoys meeting and having sex with total sluts.

Trust me user, it’s a sad life and isn’t enjoyable once you realize the women you’re hooking up with only value you for your looks, and vice-versa.

Having a nice, attractive, intelligent, conservative, and level-headed gf who will wake up in the morning and cook you breakfast is so much better it’s not even comparable.

Unironically good advices.
Thank you.

Video games??Addiction to drugs & buying chainlink. Life is unbearable sober, I keep trying to live clean but end up being even more depressed. Then the link addiction just destabilises me even more, the continual occilation between uphoria & despair is starting to take its toll. Please help

This user is correct, shrooms do actually rewire the brain, just look it up, it is being heavily resewrched now, unless big pharma kills it of course.

Also I have been battling with it in my 20's best cure is CBD oil and 5-HTP combined, these really have helpes me ib the past year and I can function mostly okay in daily life.

If u get back on your feet do regular exercise, I prefer group exercise like martial art or crossfit to gym.

Start with martial arts and eating clean, I advise martial arts over gym, because if you are unmotivated lazy fuck, then you won't really push yourself at the gym. Therefore, go into boxing, kickboxing, BJJ, MMA, wrestling or whatever, where the trainer will bring out of you 120% no matter what mood you come to the training. You will also compete mentally with others or have some qt on your side, which will make you work no matter how exhaustes you are.

Eat like caveman + up to 200g carbs per day and sleep well.

fasting for between 48 and 72 hours will fix youre depression fasting for 10-15 days would probably cure you for life apparently a bunch of russian institutionalised schizophrenics under went fasting for 20 days and had a 70% cure rate

Gym or martial arts. Eat well. Go the FUCK outside and enjoy nature for a bit.

get sunlight

>Fuck the gym. Boring as fuck.

remember not to fall for the multiple reps meme. you should be in and out in 30 minutes or less having worked every muscle group.
