Unrelenting depression: IRL edition

The type that you're fully aware that you're depressed but can't pull yourself out of it
And it's been that way so long that it's become your normal
Any hope of happiness or connectivity with people is a forgone impossibility
The best you can do is reminisce and be nostalgic about the past when you were happy
Things like when you were a kid and your parents took you to the amusement park
Going on a rollercoaster ride with your parents and you were all laughing and having fun the entire ride
Remembering how they were young and were happy that you were happy
Even when you're happy remembering it you also realize that era is long gone and never returning
Now every ride is alone, every meal is alone, everything is alone
The closest I can explain it metaphorically is like being down by 10 touchdowns in the last quarter with zero offense
The only thing keeping you there is your defense and they're exhausted being on the field all the time
You've already resigned yourself to the loss and are just running out the clock in a game you don't want to play anymore

What's bothering you?

Stop loading your brain with constant noise. Products are designed to make you addicted. Overstimulation of the brain leads to feeling less pleasure of other things in life

Go see a naturopath and get off the computer and vidya.

Jokes on you anons, I'm the normie therapists wet dream. 99% above everyone physique wise, 8h sleep a day, 98% healthy diet, 6 days a week exercise, good education, barely use social media, read every single day, "ahead of the curve" in normie language, yet I'm miserable and always will be.

I tried everything in the books. It doesn't matter, nothing does. All that matters is what's going on between your ears. I've tried it endless times, I do everything that's suggested to fix mental health yet here I'm, after 8 years of "it will get better next year", "it will get better once you reached X and got Y". It's over. I've pulled my last cope card and I'm still at the same dark place as I've been when it all started. Everything seems grey and hopeless. I can't even imagine a future in which I'm happy, it has come this far.

I hope you don't understand and can't relate user, I really do.

>Unrelenting depression
Well of course this Wojak is depressed he doesn't have a bong on the table nor a bottle of beer.
Amateur hour desu

that's another one, I don't abuse any substances whatsoever. The worst is may be caffeine but that tops out at 500mg a day too at the highest with 3 pour over coffees

>hurrr durrr
>depressed
>turns to biz
>doesn’t “abuse” substances
>beta as fuck
>blue pilled

Anyone who uses the word “abuses” when it comes to using substances at a responsible rate is a huge faggot
Your depressed because you’re a huge faggot, no other reason

I used big pharma. 3-4 years of chronic depression. California rocket fuel snapped me out of that shit. I am loving life now. Once you break the cycle shit gets better.

I’m sorry you feel this way user. If it’s any help we are similar and I feel in the same position.

Do you have any hobbies? I recently purchased a motorcycle and picked up programming and this keeps me focused and engaged on working towards something.

I use abuse because I know a lot of people end up at that place if they can relate. You obviously can't. Good for you.

A lot, but I'm just going through the motions. It's not like it once was, not even close.

Only weak minded faggots actually abuse drugs
I hope anyone who actually abuses drugs Unironically ODs and dies, this planet will be better off if so

Find a Church and breed with a virgin qt. Once you have kids, you’re entire life will have purpose.

yeah I'm pretty much in the same state
I've come to peace with it set myself an expiration date

I do not want to be the reason for another living to endure the same suffering I do.

I’m in the same boat as you, OP.
Depression is the only thing I can find comfort in.
Reality wasn’t meant for life. I’ve came to accept that.

Have sex volcel

Take test alongside hcg,nothing to lose really.

OP, look on the bright side — you have freed yourself from tragic optimism. You will keep playing defense, and you will play it well if that is what you are meant to do.

"You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end — which you can never afford to lose — with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be."

Vice Admiral James Stockdale philosophized this while a POW during the Vietnam War. He was the highest ranking American POW during the conflict and he constantly defied his captors, up to the point of disfiguring his face by bashing it against a stool to avoid being paraded around as propaganda. But the paradox lies with his stoic perspective. You must maintain the facts while keeping faith, be rooted in reality yet strive against it.

Im not depressed but im ALWAYS in a bad mood. Do you think its the constant wagecucking? Im always angry and have a frown on my face wherever I go I realize its bad but i cant help it. Im like a grumpy boomer. Is this depression?

To continue your metaphor, what you need of course is an offense.
A reason to be, to live, to act, to work, to fight.

Some of us aren't any good at living for living's sake. That's just how it is.
We need a purpose.
There's no substitute for that.

Here's hoping we find ours soon.

What's got you down? What's the source of your pain? Do you just feel like it's all for nothing?

You sound similar to me. Do you have any meaningful relationships?

Based and dogpilled

Yeah bro maybe you should like abuse some lsd and marijuana in that order within a brief time frame and like realize that you are the man, man(female).
