>no kids
Gee I wonder he feels like something is missing...

It's real, and it's a side effect of the use of pornography. Quit porn.

This, having children is a human duty

Without children humanity has no future

This is why Western civilisation is collapsing, among other things, whites aren't having children to inherit the West so foreign hordes are doing it for us

what kinda faggot drinks tea?

>have a gf/partner, and job/degree
>still feel memepressed
Choose one (1), you sensitive coddled faggots.

"Depression", the psychological disorder, is real. Emotions and feelings are literally chemical processes, and some people are born with legitimately defective brain chemistry or develop it later due to a head injury, drug abuse, or whatever.

(((Depression))), however, is mostly marketing.

It's easy to spot the difference between the two; something listing symptoms for someone to look at and help convince themselves they have it or to talk to their Dr. after a website said they may be depressed due to a quiz they filled out, it's most likely (((Depression))).

Something missing
No kids
You mean no burden

I was depressed when I was 14 then I grew up

Brittish people

Depression comes when you aren't fulfilling your destiny

Because an education and a few people you get along with sure makes up for not having a sense of identity or purpose. What kind of retarded sheep-person made this?

Thanks doc

yes and no. theres no surpirse why everyone is unsatisifed in the marxist utopia pushed by the left. however, theres two types: chemical imbalance in a brain, where it makes you insufferable; theres no joy in anything and you become weaker and unable to cope with life. then theres depression caused by events, which can be fixed by change of circumstances and becoming more healthy or time itself.

Most people have anxiety, not depression.

It's absolutely real, but instead of fixing the root causes of it, society would rather put a bandaid on the problem with psychotropic drugs. It really is no wonder why we are depressed when you take an honest look at just how odd the typical human life is now compared to even 200 years ago.

Most people aren't receiving adequate nutrition on the day to day.

The Standard American Diet is an abomination to the temple of the body

Hey now he's just like me

psy op by satan

1) SLEEP EARLY
2) EXERCISE DAILY
3) STOP EATING GARBAGE

There I just solved 90% of Americans' "depression", you're welcome

the problem is that he has tea and cookies on his table and not guns and knives. i'd be depressed too if i didnt get to have some warm-funs therapy every now and then.

Humic acid cures depression in about 30 minutes

there's a reason why they pay slavs to push a morose agenda on Jow Forums

Shitheads who confuse having a few bad days with depression turned the latter into a meme.

thanks r9k

I know this is a slide thread but fuck it.

I have all of these.
I graduated and run my own business with 4 other close friends.
We are successfull, and make plenty of money.
Ive been with my partner for 15 years and are in love as much as we were 15 years ago.
I am able to afford nearly every comodity i could ask for.

And yet i want to die every. Single. Day. For the last 10-11 years.

Depression is real, but it is not unexplainable.
Most people are depressed for lack of somthing missing from their lives, or some part of their lives which needs fixing.
For a lot of people this still doesnt work out.

After a lot of time spent talking with close friends and seeing a therapist, i have understand why i feel this way.

Our planet is fucked.
People lack the basic cognitive reasoning to understamd the greater implications of our societies and the impact we have on each generation that follows us.
There are people out there smarter than the average person, and they run our world, our governments, our banks, our food sources etc... at an international level.
I am depressed because every day i see divisiveness created between all of us purely to push profits for those in power.
It saddens me that the vast majority of people arguing on this board would in fact see eye to eye on almost all problems addressing the greater populous, but instead we argue and bicker. Blinded are we by our own preconceptions of what "should be".

Depression is real.
Depression is the unbearable realisation that you cant do anything to stop it.

The worlds population will end up a mixed mongrel breed of sub 80's happily gulping up products put in front of them without thought, and will obey without critical thought.

Our future is fucked.

This is why we are depressed.

I've only got the pet and the tea and cookies.

cookies and pets are chick magnets

Lack of fighting spirit does that to you. We have been domesticated

you think angry thoughts, you create angry chemicals, you are angry.

depression is real because people believe they have no control over their psyche. they've outsourced all their chemical reactions to big pharma or some hippie holistic bullshit.

the whole world got cucked by religion and science.

10-4 good buddy. i told my retarded boomer parents the same thing and they said, why not get prescribed an anti depressant and just forget about all that?
-_____-

This sounds like bullshit to me, there were always self-interested and greedy elites, the only difference is now can actually live an objectively good life, travel, do interesting work instead of being a peasant, meet chicks using your phone (if you're Chad)

99% of your ancestors would kill to have the opportunities and freedoms you have

Stop being lazy and stupid

At least tea and cookies are still tea and cookies.

if someone claims they are depressed and they have all this then they need to be put down, no exceptions. you dont deserve to live if you are still bitching and moaning after having all this

>Ive been with my partner for 15 years
>partner

Faggot detected. Abandon sodomy and follow Christ and you won’t be depressed anymore.

>just become another zombie

Yeah, this just added to my case when my therapist told me the same thing.
It made me realise that there are almost certainly others who feel like me, but have been zombified into inaction.

It hurts brother.

Its real, but don't get accustomed to your anti depressant tho

what do you know about fighting, muhammad?
we'll consult you on rape technic

Depression is a myth but betas will say it's real

I told my parents I'd take the pills when they prove my worldview wrong. Still waiting.

What a dumb reason to be depressed. I think about suicide every 15 minutes and this unironically cracked me up, thanks fags

>99% of your ancestors would kill to have the opportunities and freedoms you have

And thats supposed to make it ok is it?
Its ok that consumer culture will destroy our planet with no hope for recourse, just because my great great grandfather never owned his own car or a playstation?

Get fucked you pathetic insect-like piece of shit.

Shes a woman, i say partner because we arent married.

Yes, it's real and Yes, it's used as an excuse way too often.

Friends probably loathe hanging with him.

Diploma is some useless social science shit.

Wife is cheating on him with Tyrone.

Cookies and tea are laced with poisonous byproducts.

And the dog just wants to be fed.

No offense but you sound like a hippy loser

Yes, it's real. There's genuine issues with brain chemistry that can cause it.
The OP image doesn't get that genuine depression is something that happens DESPITE having all those other nice things around you, not because you're not appreciating them.

That said, genuine depression is also a lot more serious than "feeling a bit sad sometimes". So I think there are plenty of people who do just make themselves miserable by not getting out enough.

I vote psyop.
If I ever get "depressed" I go do something fun. LOL

No friends, lover, pets, diploma, or major accomplishments...I want to die.

Look, I don't know if depression is real or not but what I do know is that it's possible to get to a dark place where things exponentially spiral out of control in a negative way and you feel like you cannot reverse the direction. This is possible without being a drug addict as well.

I speak for White America that it depresses me seeing I can't even escape spics on Jow Forums.

I think it’s like picking a lock. You won’t move on anything until all the right ideas are in place.

And you post under a meme flag for a meme ideology. Do it.

The trouble with the depression meme is its incorrect application: yes, if you have a fulfilling life and can't get any motivation, you probably have a hormonal and neurotransmitter imbalance. However, most people with depression have perfectly good reasons for it. It's also important to remember it's not always about appearances.

Let me be a jackass and give you my life story, OP. Growing up, from about 3-9, my old man used to dress in women's clothes and alternate between beating the shit out of me and making me touch him sexually when on visitation. I didn't tell anyone because he said he'd kill my mom and my sister, who was a baby at the time. I was a rough kid so bruises were easily explained. As I got older, I thought about going to the police, but desu I have no proof and besides, that revenge is MINE should I choose to take it, not the rat fucking states. I had friends, but I was never able to truly connect to someone on a deep level. Even now, I find it impossible to accept that my friends - many of whom have done amazing things for me - are doing anything but putting up with me. These are relationships over 15 years old that I cannot accept as real.

Now, as you might imagine, my sexuality is...weird. I literally cannot get hard for anything but tickling women (and them doing it to me), and the transfer to sex actually turns me off. I've brought girls home, gotten rock hard during foreplay, only to deflate the instant it becomes about sex. It's not homosexuality, just some strange averse-obsession with intercourse. Growing up, I was always viewed as a weirdo by girls (doesn't help my face is ugly), and the depression stems not from their treatment, but how right they are to view me as a creep. So I can't find a fulfilling relationship even though in reality, I used to be in very good shape and some women did really like me.

So on the personal side, it matters not how many women I attract or friends I make, it all feels like a shade [cont]

>all mexicans are brown
Westphalia made things so goddamn difficult.

You dont understand what true depressionbis because you're a materialistic loser. Its a chemical imbalance in the brain.

Their right you know

Depression is real. The only cure is lifting. Get to the gym and pull that deadlift faggot.

>prove me wrong and then MAYBE I’ll help myself
>still waiting.

Grow up

Yes, it is a mental illnesses. People can be born with clinical depression. It could be from an outside factor (like the loss of a loved one) but not always.
t. Ambulance ape

I was lifting in the lead-up to becoming depressed. It didn't prevent it.
Of course there are plenty of other reasons to lift, and you should be doing it. It just didn't cure depression for me.

this plus vidya

>tfw don't have any of those things

Depression is not about wanting to die, but being afraid you'll wake up to live another day.
There is a slight nuance.

Tl;Dr tho.

Also, deadlift is a push, not a pull.

Then go get them fag

Get fucked

If something happens to someone you deeply care about, yes. If you have an average first-world life with no real problems, no.

Yes depression is real, it's not a psyop you fucking brainlet. It occurs due to issues with your brain chemistry and is often completely unrelated to your life and environment.

For me personally, I think it is real. My life was pretty great, lots of friends, working good job, smokin hot gf, ate my veggies and didn't eat shit, my thoughts were positive, I had a lot of belief in myself, but the only thing was that I felt really shitty, couldn't feel happiness, and it was a lot of effort to move around. It was like this for years and I went from antidepressant to antidepressant. Eventually I came across bupropion and I felt well, was very motivated and was very happy. Before that drug and after there was no change in my life, no change in what I did or what I thought but now I was well.

I think lots of people are depressed because they think negatively, or don't eat right, or simply choose to be a shitter. But I would also say that there are people who do everything right and still would be considered depressed

>you have someone that loves you in your life
Fake and gay. If that person did have someone that loved him then he wouldn't be depressed.

That is part of the problem. Delayed adolescence and all. I'm not stuck in bed though. Graduated with a degree. Work a decent enough job. My struggle is reconciling my faith, philosophy, and politics. As far as I can boil it down to its:

"Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher,
vanity of vanities! All is vanity.
What does man gain by all the toil
at which he toils under the sun?
generation goes, and a generation comes,
but the earth remains forever.

>pet who is happy to see you
>stockholm syndrome
it's another shoa, when you think about it

Another general measure of depression is how well you succeed in school and work. Again, a bunch of bullshit. I had straight A's all through high school, but my family issues came roaring back in college and my grades suffered immensely. My undergrad gpa is so bad I may as well not have a degree in anything. I started getting high every single day and getting wasted every weekend.

I got a bunch of dead end jobs, but I got LOR from my bosses for which I will be forever grateful.

Right now, I am killing it at a quality law school. I am only here because I did well on a test, which makes me feel a little guilty. I made a group of friends, but still, all I do is smoke pot. I cannot go a day without getting high and contemplating suicide yet still, from the outside, it sure looks like I am succeeding. From the outside, people think I am just a carefree fun guy, but really, it's because I have not given a shit about anything for what feels like a very, very long time.

So how could you tell I was depressed? You wouldn't be able to. People who whinge all day about how they just want to lie around are assholes who do not know what depression feels like. Depression is expecting all the negatives that come, while coming up with excuses and lucky reasons as to why you would ever succeed at anything.

do you hold this belief only because you have a kid?

>wahhh
>*messages 9 friends*
>whats wrong with meeeeee

Is this a reddit post?

I see no kids, I see no meaningful vacation time with your S/O. I see no being highly involved in the community of your church.

Like every other faggot poor or rich, consumerism has ruined us all. You are concerned what everyone else is consuming. Whether its out of envy or some sort of moralistic point of view.

People need to focus on the connections that they have in front of them. Not focus on some abstract view of what is fair distribution.

>Work out constantly
>Eat amazingly, vegetables and meat with very few grains and all my sugar coming from fruit
>Drink heaps of water
>Pursue several creative and constructive hobbies
>Still wake up either angry or exhausted every single day, feel despondent and hopeless all the time

What do?

>make cookies
>make friends
>earn diploma
>buy dog
>find ho

Why do incels make this seem so difficult?

Not a psyop, it is real. It's hard for someone who never had it to believe it's real. I didn't believe it was real until it hit me pretty hard. It's deceptive to those who never had it because it doesn't cause any change in your appearance.

Drinking chamomile tea at this moment. Too bad you're hooked on Mountain Dew, Miguel. Real men appreciate tea but your taste buds are already too fucked up for that.

>you're not depressed
i sure do love people who don't understand that depression is a literal chemical imbalance and can happen to anybody regardless of their lives

Yes it is real. It is a problem in which the solution is kept away by drugs. An existent problem with a misleading solution.

I believe most depression comes from a deep existential crisis. However, there is something to be said about the feeling itself. But what do I know, I just keep ruining my life over and over.

Yeah, I suffer from it as well as agoraphobia and social anxiety. Bit of a silly question.
