Do you have a partner? Men are meant to be depressed if they don't, so try to find one as hard as it is in the modern world.

Other than that, you can totally restart, move somewhere else and do something different. I did when i was 21 and viciously depressed. I realised i hated city life, degenerate city friends, self-hating politics and i moved away from it all.

Finally maybe try short term crutch or ketamine or mdma once or twice, just to remind you what actual happiness feels like. Depression can sneak up so insidiously you don't even know that it's not normal to feel like sleeping all the time, to get no joy from anything and just living to live.

Travelling would be a short term crutch again, as drugs. The idea is to break the cycle and then use the kick to make material changes but yes they make things worse in the long term. Travelling too, it's fun but it disconnects you from the real framework of living that is needed to not be depressed.

You need a family who supports you, you need a partner who supports you. Most of all you need something beyond yourself to live for. You can't easily be depressed if you hold your life as expendable against some higher good. For me personally that was redpilled politics and my gf, now wife. But for you it may be some wildly different.

As for not being able to get a partner whilst depressed, yes it is hard. That's why i advocate a short term crutch to make you enjoy life now, so that you can set up longer term structure.

Finally if all else fails perhaps you suffer clinical, major depression and it's an innate thing, not environmental. In that case seriously don't be adverse to medication. Most of all don't wallow, the low mood and depression isn't you. Don't let you think anything that changes it is altering the genuine you.

I spent years thinking I was the outsider, i was bitter, dark and tormented. It felt central to my personality and confirmed it all the more as i burned bridges. Now a decade on its alien to me, that was all just a poison i had let come over me, rotten and ill never let it come back.

To add to the fact. Having a girlfriend at 13-18 is something completely different than at 25. You couldnt even call them girlfriends at that time. It was just longer periods of flings. Now at my age you have to actually commit to a partner and i dont know how that works and if i want that. I cant even deal with myself.

Happiness comes solely from quality social relationships according to science. It also comes partially from income, but only up to $75,000 a year.

However you are depressed which means that may not be enough. You have a physical disorder in the brain (see image). Your brain is broken in a similar way your leg could be broken. You need to see a certified doctor to see if antidepressants are right for you to treat your physical disorder.

Everyone else in this thread giving anecdotal, nonscientific information is leading this person down empty paths and are doing more harm than good. Fuck all the other information in this thread. And everyone else, don't EVER listen to people like >>15766260 who appear to be making medical prescriptions without a certification.

people don't commit to each other in their 20s. girls had some semblance of not being "liberated" turbosluts in their teens but by now the brainwashing has set in. I've been seeing girls for ages who have dropped me when I mention that I want to make it more serious - it's the number one no-no. you can barely even ask for a date you're just expected to casually hum along and maybe fuck them when they feel like it.

Plenty of women want to commit in their twenties. The harder deal is finding one who will succeed in committing.

For that you need them to have not rode the carousel and that can be hard but the girls are there. The best advice i can give is that girls run in packs of like and like. You could be in a situation where all the girls you see a such soulless sluts that you think there's no alternative or in a different circle where all the girls are decent so you don't get why guys are compliaining. These groups can exist in the same area yet never really touch.

The modest girls are also subdued by the loud, aggressive and coping sluts who vocally parade their sin as virtue and chastise any who retain virtue, backed up with the might of the media. So you have to put work into finding them and if you become bitter about women you'll never succeed, as they won't be vocal and come for you. Also there's confirmation bias with behaviour, if you dislike women they'll sense it and act coldly back, which evermore feeds the cycle.

You need to find a new circle and not the ones your male friends associate with. Take up some community hobby or reach out through friends of friends etc. Then get to know them indirectly through someone first to get an idea of their behaviour. When you're dating they would be able to lie but if you vaguely know a girl first you can see how she acts before going that far.

Psychologists can be wishy washy and politically driven but psychiatry is hard medicine with some of the best cure rates out of any speciality. Also one of the most scrutinized for diagnostic criteria. GPs are the ones who are a bit bad for giving out anti-depressants, adderall etc too easily but psychs will try plenty of lifestyle changes + will use the minimum amount of meds to fix the problem.

Against you, you have the millions who have no real reason to be depressed yet still are. For whom depression uncontrollably looms on normal life if they stop taking the medication.

As for suicidal ideation, almost every drug has a rare possibility of making the system it works on worse. PPIs can make stomach acid problems worse, anti-histamines can cause a sensitization response, just natural variation in the mechanisms of the body when you tweak it. For the overwhelming majority the anti-depressant works predictably.

there is plenty of evidence if you bother doing the research. most depressed anons need to fix their lifestyle and/or work on childhood trauma. masking your symptoms with antideperssants is a losing strategy and any good therapist will actually agree that these heavy duty meds are a TEMPORARY solution only, used to stabilize patients and to get them back into a daily routine.

No, any good therapist will follow the hugely researched and tested guidelines which do not advocate anti-depressants as some secondary and temporary therapy. Again you just have a way you wish it would be and evoke some no true scotsman fallacy to confirm it. You are the one peddling anecdotal theorizing and unscientific reasoning. Most depression does not come from childhood trauma, that is much more implicated in the anxiety/ DID/ PTSD family. Anti-depressants don't mask symptoms, they remove them and better regulate the underlying chemistry. It's like accusing a surgeon of masking your leg fracture as you want it to heal naturally.

Not all depression requires the medication and psychiatrists will try many things, but you are an ideologue with pernicious advice.

it literally does, pretty much everybody suffers from varying degrees of childhood trauma which leads to distorted thinkikng and causes depression alongside with a host of other problems, its a subconscious and very subtle process and trauma has literally been shown to cause brain damage (the chemical imbalance you like to peddle). neuroscience has shown that these pathways can be repaired.

Maybe because the pathophysiology of clinical depression isn't "a chemical imbalance", it's a receptor issue. Got to know basic things about the theory you're trying to condemn. As for the success rate, anti-depressants are one of the best class of medications across all medical specialities. They have a better evidence base than paracetemol.

you can throw big words around all day but the fact is there are a whole bunch of different and sometimes contradicting theories on what causes depression. at the end of the day you can boil it all down to lifestyle and/or distorted thinking which is often times caused by childhood trauma or just upbringing. most therapists who are not just sales reps for big pharma will agree anti depressants are overprescribed and should be a last resort to temprarily stabilize patients. and lets not even get into the whole thing that the entire western model of medicine is flawed to begin with. are you sure youre not sponsored by big pharma? you seem pretty angry for someone who shouldnt have any skin in the pill game.

Things should be fun to you, you should be excited with life and don't waste another day not enjoying it. Your time is just all too short for that. Even if it means antidepressants. Nothing will shrivel and kill your life more than surrendering it to depression.

- Religion-agonistic spirituality: business and spirituality have no conflicts.

I’ve been depressed since I was five years old. Here is what helped me finally shake it (Most of it. I still get down but only for several days at a time.):

1. A good therapist who focuses on my behavior and life balance.

2. Antidepressants (Effexor)

3. I got a dog that wakes me up every day at dawn. We go to the park first thing every morning so she can play with other dogs. I made some friends there.

4. Cutting off any friends or relatives that use guilt to make me do what they want.

5. Keto diet.

6. Limiting alcohol. It blocks the antidepressants.

7. Learning about mindfulness. Limiting screen time and living in the moment.

Loneliness reduces oxytocin. In a health body oxytocin increases but remains unsustainable without social / love aspect. And then it dips lower than earlier. One tip: don't exercise regularly. Balance HIIT/SIT with a gentle yoga session in between. Regular HIIT would generate much oxytocin which you are unable to sustain without social/love aspect.

OP, there's actually a lot of good advice in this thread overall even if they're arguing about which methods will be most effective. Over time you can pull yourself out of depression without drugs, but this takes an almost Gurren Lagann-level of blind obliviousness and ambition and could in theory work to get you where you want to be in a period of time. If you're physically not able to function you should take the advice of the anons recommending you try antidepressants even if it's only for a short period of time. Supposedly supplements such as inositol in large doses could help as well if you're leery of the pharmaceutical jew. Nothing will be an instantaneous fix and even if you fix this for a period of time you'll run the risk of falling into a rut again which will be amplified by personal failure a thousand times over. However, you need to make the decision to love yourself regardless because this is your one and only life. If you envy your chads friends success with women, don't fall into that trap. Fucking women will NOT make you happy longterm. The confidence from pulling yourself out of this self-induced grave compiled with successes of your own accord will give you a confidence that won't be easily broken even if only for a period of time. Stop looking at where you think you should be, and start doing what you could be doing right now. If you physically aren't able to force yourself then take antidepressants, but these are only a means to an end in most cases. Shitty diet, lack of sunlight, minimal social interaction all have a hand and putting you into a state of darkness. Write down the advice given to you by the kind anons in this board, and come up with a plan for yourself using the information provided in this thread. Find someone or something to look up to, and ask "what would they do?" Until you can successfully ask what YOU could do in those situations.

we're all gonna make it.

The only thing that ever cured my depression was becoming NEET
Best year of my life, i was 25

Now i am a wagie again, i think about it every day. I can't imagine being happy and employed at the same time. It makes no sense.
