How do you cure depression?

have sex

drugs, unironically

Unironically Pregabalin, Gabapentin or Phenibut

But shits addictive as fuck and only temporarily for a couple of months

Ketamine curing depression is a meme, i had more of an afterglow with DXM than pharmaceutical ketamine

drugs, retard.

if your brain does not produce enough of the necessary chemicals you will be dependent on pills as a supplement your whole life.

but this depends on the kind of depression you have. just go see an expert.

Bumping myself because I'm seeing awful advice here.

If you even consider taking drugs you'd be better off taking this:

examine.com/supplements/modafinil/

Just compare it with all the other trash that gets recommended here. These people are poisoning themselves. This website gives you a proper meta analyses on the effects of any substance

supressing the symptoms doesn't solve the issue. Also, psychedelics like shrooms can cause more harm if you're not balanced mentally. Please neck yourself.

Dont quote me bitch I didnt mention psychedelics at all. Plus in all honesty Id like OP to get better but he won't change. Beat a man enough times and eventually he'll swing back. That's what he needs to do. Swing back at life. Also, have sex you fucking faggot

What method is most optimal?

modafinil isn't even mildly euphoric

This is the truth. Currently my life. Depression is always on my mind, suicide is always on my mind. I never need to work again in my life. A lot of anons on here would love to have that feeling, but it made me empty. I’m going to start travelling the world, but I’ll still be depressed wherever I go. It’s a horrible feeling.

This is the first time I hear and I must this really struck something in me. I think you are right. The times when I don't use my pc and fap every day is the times I am the most balanced and not depressed. Thanks for reminding me

You fuckwit, who ever said that it should be euphoric. He wants to cure depression, depression is cured by being an effective human. Modafinil helps being effective

I stopped fapping, deleted all porn, exercise every other day, eat well.

It's still there.

IM JUST KIDDING user, please dont

are you currently a wagecuck?

>are you currently a wagecuck?

yea

Guys, this is the effects of a modern world. We humans are still animals. Depression can be cured by having purpose. I really like stoicism, and to that and the book by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. This quote strook me:

"At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work — as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for — the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?”

So you were born to feel “nice”? Instead of doing things and experiencing them? Don’t you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders and bees going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order, as best they can? And you’re not willing to do your job as a human being? Why aren’t you running to do what your nature demands?

You don’t love yourself enough. Or you’d love your nature too, and what it demands of you."

It's not too late, it never is. Happiness is all around you, you have to choose to see it

What are you progressing in? Any skill your practicing?

Go do extreme shit. Hand gliding, bungie jumping, skydiving etc. Nothing beats the thrill of possibly dying. Plus, if you do die, God won't count it as a suicide and you might be able to make it to purgatory begore going to heaven

>inb4 muh atheism cucks

God is real user. The real whales here, the jews, all worship demons. Its a logical fallacy here but to me that means there is a God and he loves you, even when you don't love yourself. Git gud kid

You’re absolutely correct, user. You’re very astute. Purpose is the one thing I’m missing. Maybe travelling the world will allow me to find some. That’s my goal. Money isn’t an issue, so what else is out there? I need to find myself, and I’m thankful for Jow Forums for giving me the ability to do such.

Get tested for nutrient deficiencies.

Shit, meant to reply

This

I have lost 30lbs in the last 2.5 months. I also started working out for 1st time in my life really other than doin active stuff when i was younger(snowoarding, wakeboarding...etc). And I am old fuck. But boy I am seeing a huge change in my body and in 6months or so I will be looking pretty damn good. I can already see changes that I thought I would never see. All this while going through depression due to my weekly fuck wanting to take a break. I just hope it is not permanent. She is an amazing fucking woman and fucking for the last few years has made me feel like a fucking god. I want to keep feeling like that and working out is helping me achieve that.

It is well worth it.. If we don't resume, I will have an easier time finding a replacement looking good than not.

Isn't that the CIO that's supposed to be the CIO's wife instead?

do you plan to livestream your suicide?

no worries fren

These are the Honest to God ways to cure depression.

1. If you are able to, INVEST IN YOURSELF. As long as it doesn't negatively affect your body,finances,or family.

2.Have faith, even in yourself. Religious or not, God himself would NOT want you or any good human to die in any way.
We As humans are meant to be Alive, Strong, & have self appreciation & Wisdom.

3. Bond with your family.
If you're not able to, at least your friends/peers.

4.BE VERY CAREFUL WHO OR WHAT YOU LISTEN TO.Sometimes constantly hearing & seeing negative things will soon make YOU think the same.

5. Write/Draw.
As long as you have paper & a pencil.
You can Visualise & put down anything on paper. It will help Depression Decrease.

5. Meditate your mind to clear everything that troubles you.

6.Exercise
For example: cleaning & organizing your House/Apartment
Also try to stay away from Smoking,Alchohol consumption, & Drugs. It only numbs the pain, not make it go away.

7. Last, but not least, always remember that Depression is only a FEELING OF THE MIND.It's not specifically a part of you. As long as you keep your head up. it WILL PASS. Then, you will feel better_

none of us were born for any reason or with an inherent purpose ya dingus. Nor is loving oneself required of anything as immutable fact, spite is interchangeable with the former in almost every case.

I do agree that over-stimulation is a genuine issue that definitely causes widespread dissatisfaction that oftentimes snowballs into suicide when left unchecked.

>able to make it to purgatory

less than 1% will make it on this board.
>I am 1%

Not that user but man I haven't been able to focus in nearly 7 years. I've gained a lot of weight, too, though I'm trying to finally work that back down. I can wageslave (though I admittedly have been full bum fuckwad for nearly three years now) but it didn't change anything, I was just physically out of the house and returned to do the same shit/sleep.

I've bombed in school because I can't focus on anything but thoughts of death or dying. Going to try what other user said and cut out all junk food/drink and suffer through the junk withdrawals. I've gained like 10 lbs a year for six years and went from healthy weight to obese.

A .50 cal up the butt

That is the great mystery, free will be pre destination. My theory is that you have the free will to follow the corrct path that God had laid out to you...because God does have a plan for everybody. You should see The Adjustment Bureau...Matt Damon movie but the concept is very solid.
>what if you dont follow His plan
He changes it

You’re depressed because you’re alone. You need social interaction, and I mean deep, meaningful connections. Go on hikes with people, join a sport, strike up a conversation with someone you don’t know. It also might help you to research how other people suffer so that you can see how we all, although being from so many different cultures, struggle in similar ways. Usually just the circumstances are different but the core feelings and reactions to life’s challenges are the same. Go back to your roots. Research your genealogy, learn about your own people and culture, their way of life. Dig into your very being. Find purpose in there

Not really, I have no motivation to.

I finished college/uni 10 years ago. Was completely alone all 4 years, didn't make a single friend or gf. Found some meaning in my studies, but that ended as soon as I graduated and began wageslaving. Thought things might improve then, but nothing did and that's when it really started. The few meaningful relationships I had from being a kid (one friend and family members) all deteriorated and gone. Stopped caring about women shortly after, wasn't intrested in most of them and they weren't interested in me. Fast forward to a year ago, meet this foreign girl who was different, instantly was in love like I was a teenager again with a bad case of 'oneitis' Kind of snapped out of my state for awhile, but I ended up blowing that chance as well and sunk even deeper after that.

My life is a cycle of mental torment and failure. I've found ways to distract myself over the years but they don't work anymore. It's all very tiring and thought of dying brings me no anxiety or fear whatsoever anymore. Just comfort.

Live a meaningful life. No one on this board can teach you to do this. No one on this website can teach you to do this. All that's here for you is vermin gnawing on each other until they all rot together.

Nonsense, if you make it to purgatory you have no say in the matter. Think of it as a mini hell that cleanses you...you cant fuck up you're in mini hell. Fucking up is how you got there. God and the Devil both use fire, but Gods fire cleanses you while the devils fire torments you....at least I think so anyway ;)

That doesn't mean that we don't have a biological urge to organize our surroundings? A bee makes a beehive, a dog organizes it's pack and chases a deer. So to do we have, as humans, an innate urge to be productive. The means of which is blurred to the point where we think we don't mean anything and we can just lay back, and it won't have any effect.

Ding ding, it does. We are a lot less in controle than that we think, and this nihilistic approach, while abstractly true, does not mean that we as humans are able to enjoy life thinking like this.

Again, what would a bee do without it's beehive?

i only asked because it sounds like you're in the same position as me

oh wait i still jerk off, eat like shit and dont exercise but my job is a little labour intensive. never mind

Go to church groups, volunteer at soup kitchens, do some charity work, go for exercise events like marathons or whatever. Just get out there and connect with other people. I suspect that you’re more lonely than depressed. I’ve been there and I pulled myself out of it.

My dearest user.. this is the plight of a lot of young man this day and age. The cure mental and physical.

Mental aspect:
If you are living in any country with food water and electricity, you are living in literal heaven. Buy an apple and think of traveling back in time to show it to your great great great grandma. She will lthink you have travelled to heaven, that is how juicy our fruit is. The same can be said for meat, travelling and communication. We are living in heaven but choose not to see it. Remember every morning how wonderful it is to be able to express your thoughts and eat and drink whatever you want

Physically:
Make sure your body is well fed to remain mentally strong an well exercised to remain energetic. We are humans, care for your body as you would care for an animal that you are fond of. No excess of sugar. Healthy fats. Nuts and vegetables.

Life is worth living user, you just have to wake up

Stoicism is what has helped me best so far. Not saying my stuff is solved, but very calm for a long time.
I personally read pic related, because i really like the guy as a magician.

It's easy to find a Stoic. Their emotional intelligence trumps anyone by a large margin this day and age. Even if you are barely beginning you are already miles ahead, by trying to accept it.

I am currently reading Seneca

Useless normie advice

But isn't it all relative? I watched a documentary the other day about people living in literal landfills and a few of them genuinely seemed content and happy.

I've honestly tried 'going outside' and doing things and nothing has ever come form them.

what age what gender? wrong board

put stuff in your but

Exactly! You should be content with having what you have. The relation between desire bad happiness is asymmetrical. If you can be happy with what you have you are satisfied.

This is good insight. I was merely giving you an example of the paradoxical nature of our depression, it seems a life filled with comfort creates depression, yet a life striving towards living a comfortable live makes happy. Think about this:

Are you currently progressing to something? If not, what is important to you?

You gotta work on it chief, every day.
Make a list of things in your life that you're not happy with. Make another list with how you would like your life to be, simple things are the best. Now you have some goals, next try to figure out how to reach those goals with as small steps as possible. Read your lists often to remind yourself of what it is you want and don't want.
Make a spreadsheet with three columns: what was good today, what was bad, how can tomorrow be better. Update daily. No victory is too small to add. Did you make your bed for the first time in forever? Put it in the good column etc.
This all might sound silly but I really felt that writing it all down in this way helped me a lot.

Now I can't tell you how you should live your life, but things that I can guarantee will make you feel better are: Exercise, a healthy diet, going to sleep at a reasonable hour (before midnight) and getting up early.

None of them were alone either. They had a wife, kids.

I get what you’re saying and I do appreciate that I have access to resources to make survival easier. But it’s just that - surviving. I don’t find anything fulfilling in that. It just feels like a burden.

Lots of meth and heroin my man

>I never need to work again in my life.

Please explain how I can be like this.

A great advice is to not chase happienes.
But you will be much happier, if you cut things out of your life that makes you unhappy.

I have piles of notebooks from over the years. A couple times of week I would write down my problems, things to do, goals and attempt to try and solve them. There are many repeating pages needless to say.

I eat healthy and go to the gym despite it being incredibly difficult to find the energy, I’m incredibly fit. Hasn’t helped at all. Can’t do anything about my sleep because of my job

good point user

Start taking action.

I’m an oldfag, thanks to Jow Forums. I’m able to spot gems on here, and I go all in. I turned thousands into millions off of this cesspool. It really becomes a matter of discerning the bullshit from the gems. I guess I have that ability. Take my advice if you want or not: Fantom is going to change lives. You have to do your research and have iron hands. Once your research is done, if you have the ability, you know where it’ll go. That’s the best advice I can give.

I'm a 25 year old who lost my job a few months ago. Should I do this for a living?

No, I was wagecucking even after I made my first million. This shit is a gamble, I like security and structure. It came to a point where I no longer needed to wagecuck. And that’s where I am now. Once you make a certain amount, it’s pretty obvious whether you need to show up at 7 am or not (or whatever your shift is).

So is the problem that you don't follow through with your plans?
What are your goals and how do you figure you're going to reach them?

depression is a very individual thing so just spouting meme advice isnt really all that helpful. could be one of many factors that make you depressed
>bad lifestyle habits. those are probably easiest to fix
>childhood trauma
>dysfunctional thought/behaviour patterns
the anons going "hurr durr just exercise and eat healthy" dont understand that it can go a lot deeper. your best bet is to see a GOOD therapist. good luck finding one, most are shit. you can also edumucate yourself about psychology as there is some good helpful stuff in there

dont fall for this shill's lies retard this is how you ruin your life. Fantom or whatever new shitcoin comes up on the block isn't going to make you a millionaire

Believe what you want, keep an eye on the price during the next 12 months. That’s why only some of us make it.

In my life I have moments where I just forget about the true nature of reality, the truth that we know nothing and will never know anything. The truth of the true fucking absurdity of everything. In those moments I feel happy. But when the dust settles and I am with myself, I have no more distractions left to prevent the reality of the situation from coming to light.

Is this what life is? Keeping myself distracted? Trying to forget the truth of our situation?

Might as well remove "iz" from this board. There's just too many random off topic faggotry threads

Fuck regularly. Srsly
You dont need a 10/10 to fuck. You'll be surprised to know that beaty had nothing to do with sex quality. Find yourself a 5/10 and fuck her public, cum in her mouth, fuck her raw, throatfuck her, make her bleed, whip and tie her. It is really great. At some point you will discover that any woman is beautiful in her moment of ecstasy.
Some of them can be timid at first, but it takes bo more than 10 fucks to turn a timid girl into a slut hungry for ur cum

kill yourself

big pharma. extra high dose California rocket fuel (google it faggot). give it a year or two and you will have snapped out of it. guaranteed. buy link

A benzo called alprazolam, which you americans are more familiar with when it's branded xanax. It has the magical power to actually lift the depression, angst, and sadness. On its own, taking it means you'll feel better. Taking it while working through the things that made you depressed in the first place is one of the most effective cures for depression and other mental suffering.

Doctors don't like prescribing it, because there's little money in curing, as opposed to maintaining.

>California rocket fuel
I've been prescribed mirtazapine before and it turned me into a drooling zombie incapable of a single creative thought. Does the venlafaxine counteract this or is my biology completely fucking me here?

what a load of horseshit

you're just going to replace depression with a temporizing measure that's going to get you addicted psychologically/physically

enjoy your seizure withdrawals down the track

CBT gold standard lads (+/- fish oil)

Unironically if you start drinking your urine utilizing urine therapy it will draw every toxin out of your body and you will feel amazing.

Urine is your own personal medicine that heals every fucking thing

Read my post above about drinking your urine. Drinking urine brings you into balance

Yes, get him on lyrica. That'll cure his depression real good, doctor.

Start running daily. No alcohol or drugs & eat healthy.

>any woman is beautiful in her moment of ecstasy.

Get a qt gf
Get a job you are not completely ashamed of
Lift weights / combat sports 4-5 days a week. Session should be 1.5 hour average. You should be doing barbelll compounds, pull ups and dips 8x5sets

Work on hobbies e.g music, drawing

Don't eat crisps and chocolate these are really bad for depression

Takeaways burgers pizza Chinese etc is fine. Once every other day optimum. Never twice a day

Drink water and tea. And juice

Don't drink coffee thats for fags

Drink alcohol (beer or vodka) twice a week MAX and don't get wasted. All other alcohol is for gays and hipsters

Have sex

Give it more time, or try SSRIs.

Can't wait until you get a fat ugly who're pregnant kek

Oh and.. NOFAP will literally turn your life around. I was a skinny NEET incel... then I did nofap, got a good job, perfect gf, can bench 100kg for reps

Don't believe me if you don't want to. It's the truth though. I do miss porn but I've gained so much more

Lmao

I got prescribed Zoloft and it temporarily worked but made me a zombie. Unironically what cured it for me was reading about deism. I am not religious but do believe there is an architect/creator. This combined with forming my own moral principals led me out of depression.

Fedora will start tipping but the stats show that religious people don't get depression. They may be deluded but being deluded is sometimes better than killing yourself or living a miserable life. Look into deism and philosophy of ethics if you want to avoid all the ritual shit of normie organised religion.

When I was really devoted to being Christian I was really happy

sport, sex, gay sex

I found hard work and excersise cured my depression.

Get really angry.

Yeah had a Catholic childhood, went through edgy athiest phase and came to the deism redpill in my late 20s. It's good because I believe that a creator likely exists but do not infer any characteristics on them or think they expect any prescribed moral behaviours from me.

Can't speak for anyone else, but my depression came from the expectation society had of me, and feeling less than whole for not being able to meet them. I was stuck around people who always told me I was worthless, useless, etc. After I realized chasing validation and constant fear of failure and ostracization was a fools errand. I felt much better, like taking off a heavy blanket.

I still feel down sometimes, but now it'll only last for an afternoon, as opposed to weeks at a time before.

I still masturbate to porn and play videogames and I feel better than ever. That explanation always felt so boomercore to me. I do eat healthier and exercise, so maybe that offsets it.
