Are depression and anxiety even real things with most people? Or are they just attention seeking memes...

>Because there's no fucking way an entire generation (i.e. Millennials) feels exactly the same way, right?
Why not? Do you think everyone is an atomized special snowflake that lives in a vacuum? Do you think that trends and averages and majorities don't exist? What makes the depression and anxiety of you basement-dwelling incel losers any more real than the depression and anxiety of normalshits? You're both miserable because your lives don't live up to some stupid fantastical hyperreal ideal, it's just that you deviant hopeless faggots are, by virtue of your intellectual, social, and financial poverty, less capable of pretending to be at peace with your lot in life than they are.

used to think anxiety was a meme til i saw my friend in action. he's had this gf for over a year and still sweats when they meet. he would freeze and not know what to say. its so weird.
yes there is no way ill ever afford a house. youre born with 2 options
>a shitty country where the only affordable luxury is a phone but shitty internet
or
>a soon to be shit country where finding a job is like finding a woman with personality, and the pay is shit due to oversupply of labor
i used to think people in dubai had it the best. no feminism, developed infrastructure, money everywhere. but then i read that like 60% of the population are indian immigrants. imagine seeing a creepy, greasy poo every time you went outside?

Oh it's not everyone
lot of people just kinda say "lol I'm so depressed, I totally have anxiety XD" in the same way that people a couple of years back would say they were glucose intolerant (or whatever it was)
that being said there is definitely a very large amount of people suffering from depression nowadays due to the reasons listed ITT

anyone has any kind of experience with happy pills?

Anxiety and depression are emotions literally everyone feels. Brainwashed normies conflate these feelings with (perhaps poorly named) clinical conditions to shift the blame when they get a little nervous before a public speaking engagement or feel bad because they're fat and Chad wont fuck them.

People with actual depression dont talk about it and rub it on everyones face.

Yes, they're not happy pills, they're robot pills.
unless you're talking about ecstasy.
Or opioids.

well, I don't like having anxiety, it makes me life much harder than it should be.

xanax does wonders for anxiety, chills you out right away for a few hours, but your body gets physically addicted if you take it for only a week straight, and withdrawals can kill you.

Women are behind all of society's ills. Women objectively destroy civilisation and society and humanity anywhere they set foot.

While you're not wrong that women are behind many bad things, they're merely misguided and easily duped into doing evil. There's someone else pulling the strings.

Consider the lilies of the field. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you--you of little faith!

Being led to turn society to shit doesn't mean they pull the strings. For centuries women were a valuable ressource.

Lilies:
>10/10 born chads
>get to sway in the fields all day
>breath their sustenance
>little suffering
>no hindering conciousness
>smugly watch you drive to work
Me:
>3/10 pitiable pig beast
>sit on my stinky ass or walk on my gross feet
>have to eat through our lubrication holes and poop it out
>99% suffering
>Consciousness, in which hates it's self
>ask grandpa for money for potatoes or work and smell and feel nasty
Just fucking kill me fuck faith

>Are depression and anxiety even real

No, they are not.

Sounds like you haven't actually put prayer through the scientific process.

One quick search result:

Cha et al. found that the women who had been prayed for had nearly twice as high a pregnancy rate as those who had not been prayed for (50 vs. 26%; P

This is what happens when a society is created for mass production but not for human beings.

the only good response

I do not want more pregnancy rates, I want everyone to be sterile.
I do not share gods traditionalist views.

I rebuke thee with hellfire, Satan. Taste the blasting rod for all eternity.

Why cant this world die on our terms? His creations have been corrupted. We are corrupted. Salvation is little more than a band-aid.

literally everything is better, you fucktard. I hate when fags act like the world used to be this amazing, perfect place.

And what terms are those? Submission to demons? Never.

Depression and anxiety are increasingly being appropriated by western women because it's 'trendy'.

It's sad and pathetic and an insult to mentally ill people

I do not submit to demons. I simply want to stop existing.

The giants walk again in the lands. People have made contracts with fallen angels, and Azazel has granted mankind the ability to bear giants once again. They walk in New York, London, Tokyo, Moscow, and all over the world.
As they gain power, mankind will be consumed unless they are cut down.

>oh hey a ready-made doctor-supported unassailable justification for my lack of action or motivation and any current or potential social discourteousness

You've got it backwards. You clearly want to keep existing, otherwise you would have willed yourself dead. Demons are lying to you. Shut them up.

I would rather not have been born. I came to that realization using free will given to me by God.

People are associating a normaly amount of dissatisfaction and sadness with depression because its trendy. Most people who claim to have depression feel sad when something bad happens and equate that to a mental disorder

And now you get the joy of watching yourself grow old, feeble and wrinkly, as your body unmakes itself.

I do not intend to live that long.

The fact that you haven't willed yourself to death already says otherwise.
Leave Jow Forums.

I think we have life way too easy. the happest I've ever been was when I was working 50 hours a week of hard labor. Cause I was using my body how it's intended. Human's are not designed to sit at a desk for 8 hours a day. we are designed to struggle and go through pain.

This man is corrupting you, if you "will" yourself into death you will be reborn, nothingness doesn't exist he's just trying to shut you up.

I'm taking Citalopram and I've stopped having anxiety attacks. The two weeks I was off them, I had two attacks, both in the presence of other people. One was worse than the other one.

I'm going to be off them again for a week or more while I wait for my psychiatrist appointment and I'm nervous

My therapist put it this way: there is anxiety, and then there is Anxiety. There is depression, and then there is Depression. Society has not been educated on the difference between the two so there's constant confusion. People who experience normal levels of nervousness and anxiety get freaked out and convince themselves that they're mentally ill, and people who are mentally ill spend years not knowing because they don't know what is normal and what isn't, and they get told by people to just "cheer up" so they think it's all their fault

>for my lack of action or motivation and any current or potential social discourteousness
Maybe it's not a mental illness or disorder but I don't think it comes from nowhere. People report these symptoms too often for there to just be a coincidental rise of unmotivated people. There's gotta be some larger or common cause for all of this. Maybe the lack of real, physical groups and communities where the members genuinely care about each other has caused people to become more separated, and apathetic/jaded with their own lives and society at large?

There are studies where things like face-to-face interactions and regular church attendance improve mood and decrease the chance of developing mental disorders/illness. Not trying to shill religion or anything but church is one of the few places anyone can go to every week and be around other people in a structured, meaningful, way.

>the corrupt calling other corrupt
toppest kek
shut up satan

I suffer from """anxiety""" since I was 8, Inever knew what I had until I was 12 when it got worse. I'm now diagnosed with GAD and currently taking meds. And yeah, many people think they have anxiety or depression because these disorders are an spectrum (which happens the same with autism). I fucking hate these people who brag about their anxiety and depression on social medias,I fucking hate being taged as someone who has anxiety because of this, I fucking hate all this "mental awareness" shit (ITS FUCKING CORNY AND EXAGGERATED) and I fucking people who think they have anxiety or depression and uses it as an excuse to be mediocre.
What this user says

You know you have anxiety or depression when you give a month or two dedicated to improving your mood... like getting rid of your phone completely and your computer just for work and you start to do exercise (exercise outside it's better for mental health) and hang out with people and genuinely TRY to have fun doing it...
and during that time you still want to kill yourself and you still get anxiety attacks.

Pretty much everyone is depressed right now, Uncle Ted tried to stop it but we imprisoned him.

These fuckers think of "oh no a couple of things didn't go the way I wanted to in the world and I feel bad about it. Must be depression!" People with depression to go bragging about it on twitter cause they don't give a fuck if others know about it or if they do have it.

Thot apologist

There are massive amounts of people who fake depression and anxiety and don't actually have it I have experienced depression first hand have the antidepressants and doctors note to prove it depressed for these normalfaggots is having no one call or text for an entire day and being stuck in their room for a day with the lights off listening to 2000's r&b

Things are only "good" if you don't care about anything but social approval and domestic comforts (i.e. women, but many effeminate men as well)

If your purpose in life is to collect approval points and shovel pleasure into every hole in your body, yes, life is good.

If you want to live a meaningful life with a real community and a distinct culture that you identify with, if you want somebody to love, if you want financial independence and a family, or, failing that, self-respect and achievement of personal non-status related goals, you are shit out of luck my friend. The world is oriented to reward mediocrity and mass approval. The world is oriented towards the hive, not the individual.

Give an example, tranny faggot

Not everybody is a literal donkey though. I would blow my brains out if I had to work 50 hours a week doing labor towards a pointless project for somebody else who sees me as a piece of farm equipment

If you're a brown or Asian then those rote task jobs are probably fine, but it's not a suitable form of employment for people with independent thoughts and higher goals

Anyone that uses fucking social media doesn't have anxiety

I've been laughing for 5 minutes straight at this tweet

What would a non-empty experience even look like? Most people here sit on the computer all day or go to work and go home, which isn't fulfilling either, but I don't know what the opposite would be.

OP died and is a nigger.

I partially agree with what you're saying, but it's not as simple as 'hard physical labour makes happy life'. What fucks most people up is the feeling that the thing they spend 40+ hours a week doing, every week, is meaningless and produces nothing of value. They're unable to measure their growth or see their impact.

I worked in the insurance industry for a couple of years after I got out of school and it made me want to blow my brains out. Filling out endless tides of paperwork for faceless entities doesn't exactly scream fulfilling.
I fucking lost it one day and quit. Ended up getting a job at a high end tailor shop and I've never looked back. I see the fruits of my work because I handle it everyday, and I actually interact with the people I serve. Makes a world of difference.

A lot of people just pathologise every fucking thing they feel and believe that just because they get sad or nervous sometimes they are somehow special and obviously mentally ill when they're not. It's a mental illness as soon as it impairs your normal life and causes you significant distress. It's a distinction the public is apparently unable to make and it pisses me the fuck off because really, there's nothing interesting about being messed up.
The mentally ill people I've known and seen usually don't brag with that shit and want to be normal. Or, like said, they're so fucked in the head that they don't even know what's going on.
Chances are that if someone has a job, can post on social media, spam their selfies everywhere, have friends (online counts), have a relationship, go outside and do normal shit, etc. they're not actually depressed or have anxiety and are just cunts who want to be special.
