>>19227173
I'm 38 and I felt that way for a brief period after I was laid off from a job when I was about 29. I wish there was a magic bullet, but I think I spent about 6 months depressed and that was with a supportive wife (gf at the time). If you can identify something that's the driving factor rather than a catch all "everything sucks" you can start to work on it. For me, I got a different job and things went up from there. FWIW - things can change immensely in the time between your age and mine. There's too much focus put on people having to have everything figured out by a certain point in their lives, and I think that's sometimes overwhelming to the point where people just shut down.

Ive always been like this, I became really anxious at the age of 13 and since then I spent more time depressed than not
the driving factor would probably be my adhd and how it affected me, I dont ever finish anything Ive started

Ive found tho that fasting, omega 3, excercise, eating gluten free, keto diet, nootropic stacks like caffeine + l-theanine, microdosing and hero dosing on shrooms help a lot but I still have terrible habits that fuck me up, plus I feel very lost and I have no clue what to do since I honestly have no drive to make an effort on anything unless im high.

I can infer that you probably already know this, but your dependence if not causing the issues is certainly exacerbating them. I've never been down the rabbit hole as far as you seem to be, but if you think hard - is there anything that you do that can hold your interest and doesn't require you to be high? Even if it's something as maligned as vidya, it's a start.

im not addicted to anything tho, during the pandemic I used to drink half a bottle of vodka and I used to smoke a ton but I stopped since then and I dont feel like I need them desu. I do get shitfaced from time to time and desu, I get absolutely no satisfaction from it
I feel like I have very few pleasure neuroreceptors or they are all used up

>but if you think hard - is there anything that you do that can hold your interest and doesn't require you to be high? Even if it's something as maligned as vidya, it's a start.
I am honestly thinking about it and I dont think so. I play league and I get angry everytime even when I win

to be fair tho, im depressed. when it get this bad there is only one thing that has ever gotten me out of this state and its shrooms or DMT. last time I did 3 grams of shrooms I cried for hours, but I came out the other way feeling alive and happy to be alive

Sounds like addition to me, but if that's what gets you to the next day then go for it. Hopefully for you, you realize that the depression you're feeling isn't just going to magically disappear. You need to find an outlet that makes you consistently happy. Easier said than done, yes, but luckily you're 26 and the ship hasn't sailed yet, so you've got time to square things up.

>you realize that the depression you're feeling isn't just going to magically disappear.
It does magically dissappear when I do shrooms, I swear to god. it works faster and better than any of the 15+ meds I have been prescribed (minus one that made me hypomanic)

>enjoy your wife, loving someone with no restrictions is the best thing in the world
Undeniably true. We have a 5 year old daughter too, and it's the same feeling but an order of magnitude deeper.
Do you have a dog? I remember that when I felt like shit, one of the only things that I couldn't be angry while doing was to take my dog for a walk or to the park. To me at least, there's no conceivable downside. You get exercise, you get outside, the dog is happy, you are happy that the dog is happy, the people you meet are happy to see your dog, your dog is happy to see them etc.....It's like a depression spiral but in reverse.

Welp, issue analyzed. Scale down the smoking or take a break from it. Smoking weed too much makes me an agitated asshole while I'm sober and gives me anxiety for even the smallest of bullshit. Get a good hobby or work on yourself somehow, and you'll get more easy-going after a few weeks. If you've got your shit sorted again, you can even allow yourself some weed on special occasions, but remember to take breaks (I'd recommend a few weeks - 1 month) when you're starting to relapse into old patterns again.

[Anonymous No.19227504]

I dont smoke that often, barely twice a week. it got really expensive here lol
I know what you're talking about tho, too much weed fucks you up even after you quit. its actually really addictive if your lifestyle allows it. like if you play vidya all day long. Im done with that, I feel way too guilty to enjoy it

>remember to take breaks (I'd recommend a few weeks - 1 month)
that one joint after a long brake is the fucking best, before the weed turns your brain into mush

>gives me anxiety for even the smallest of bullshit.
this is going to sound very weird but I kinda get high to get anxious, when I smoke a switch turns on in my brain and I absoulutely need to play the piano and I play for hours
If I stop I feel guilt and while im playing I get awful intrusive thoughts that motivate me to play better and faster

It's easy to be like "Fuck you everyone has bad days" but I can honestly say that I have never once seriously considered being an hero, so there's gotta be more to it than that. I'll ask you what I asked the other dude - is there anything at all that makes you happy? He misses cooking and being with an old girlfriend, which is understandable, but no reason to let your life slip away.

I did 3 grams of dried shrooms, I cried for a while. I never cry, depression makes me extremely apathetic
I had mild visuals of fractals and beautiful patterns, I felt like my brain was talking to itself in a way, after a while I stopped crying and I got up full of energy
I realized that I felt lonely, I hadnt seen or talked to anyone that week. I never ocured me that I was lonely because I didnt even consider meeting people because I was anxious and not fun to be around
the first thing I did was talk to a friend

after 2 months of isolation I started hanging out with people, I felt smarter, more creative, overall happier
it felt like escitalopram but with no side effects and it has this introspective element that sets it apart from medication, its not the same

it helped me process a lot of thoughts that I never confront or didnt even know I had, it helped me a lot

Do you have some insight on how long microplastics have been a problem?

Agreed. I'm a glass half full type, but I've got a pretty fulfilling life, so it's easier for me. That's why I've asked anons in this thread at least 3 or 4 times if they have some hobby they love and can focus on, and why I suggested a dog (which really really helped me when I was down). Unless you adopt an aloof husky, they will simply never get tired of hanging out with you.
>>19227662
I don't know why this make sense to me, but it does...it also made me think to ask if you guys who are sad have any close friends or family that you're on good terms with?

Hey bud
LSD or mushrooms can be quite psychologically painful if you are emotionally unwell. Just a thing to keep in mind if you're going to do them. They are not even close to being an "escape" as you describe.
When things go south just remember that's what's meant to happen, and remind yourself to pay attention.
I would recommend telling someone you trust that you're going to take LSD/shrooms or whatever and calling them if you feel trapped. Just talking to someone can make you feel a lot better. And try putting on some calming music and turning a lamp on.
I would recommend mushrooms (3.5g of them, at least) if you are going to do one of the two. LSD lasts way too long, is very mindfucky, and has a dirty, almost "clammy" feel to it.
Do some writing afterwards, just whatever comes to your mind.

36. Vegas. I've struggled with depression for a lot of my life, but most of it is work. My work is very stressful, I feel trapped, and I hate it. It pays well, but I'm so mentally and emotionally drained from it constantly that I've been ignoring my friends and any kind of dating or romantic relationships. I recently quit, but all I'd do is shut the computer down and start drinking to try to not think about the cascade of constant shit that awaits me tomorrow and the day after that.

But I actually am unemployed right now because I broke my pelvis in an accident in Europe and now I have to have a total hip replacement.

did you go to school? even an associates degree is valuable because it shows you know how to work and learn. doesn't matter what degree you get they want to see you can achieve things.

otherwise just keep scraping the bottom of the barrel with food and retail. You'll probably have to work min wage for a while but get about a years experience with a decent boss and work hard. harder than they deserve for what they're paying you. then you'll have good references when you apply to a better job and a years experience in food or retail. you can get to food or retail management in a few years.

28, US. It's weird that I'm not really actively sad too much, but I am diagnosed major depressive from a young age and have the lack of energy and zero motivation associated with depression but I'm not really sad until I begin overthinking. I had a shitty childhood and in my adult life I can't really maintain relationships because I have bad dependency problems and I end up driving people away. I want to go to therapy and fix my problems but I can't afford it right now. My job is going well and I should have insurance soon so I can hopefully go then. I've felt that nobody has ever loved me including my parents and I can't really convince myself otherwise.

>Everyone's in debt
Man, I've mentioned a few times that I'm generally positive and glass half full, but if there's one thing that grinds my gears it's people complaining about money. I Just bought a house that I never dreamed of being able to afford, and am broker than I've been in a decade, but my friends still do nothing but complain about money issues like half the time. I agree with you on that one. Sadly, it's my experience that at around 30 I lost ties with some friends as well...find a woman (or man) that you can be actual best friends with and it'll sort itself out.

Common problem from what I hear. I'll admit I'm out of touch with someone that's 22, but maybe you're looking in the wrong spots? My first jobs when I was in highschool and college were at a library and a dry cleaners. Also, I'd bet if you're a burger your local Aldi is hiring - mine always is.

You're like the third person to mention hating work without mentioning what it is that you do, but I suppose that's immaterial if you're that laid up. I'd imagine a broken pelvis makes you pretty immobile which is going to contribute to the depression unless you find some way to mitigate it. You and I are a similar age, so I can relate a bit better - Do you think living in a place like Vegas is contributing? My closest parallel is downtown Chicago, and I can attest that most of my friends from there are pretty severely depressed. City life is bullshit imo.

Everyone has family scars, and pretty much everyone is affected by them more the more they are thought about. I mentioned earlier in this thread that I thought therapy was mostly snake oil for the majority of my life, but the older I get the more I think I'm wrong about this. If your company is mildly progressive, you may be able to contact HR and see if there's a counselor they can set you up now. The literal worst thing that can happen from that discussion is that you're exactly where you are now.

25, US. I've been kind of a downer for most of my teenage/adult life, feels selfish to say I'm actually depressed but I do feel sad pretty often. I spend every other minute berating myself for things I did days, months or even years ago. Never had a lot of long-term friends, usually just acquaintances but afaik that's a lot more normal nowadays. I did my undergrad some time ago but I completely failed to do anything relevant with it, I only felt worse after graduating because it just added to sunken cost, which I often use to keep myself occupied. Sometimes I think about living for myself, but a lot of the things I want seem stupid and pointless. Parents expect me to go back to school, but I'm convinced I'll just end up in the same exact spot with even more debt.

>didn't do anything with your degree
Yet. You're still an infant in today's working world, and shouldn't feel discouraged yet. Parental input is such double edged sword it's unreal. When they think they're being supportive or even offering what they believe to be sage advice, they are many times just making you feel worse and compounding the anxiety. My undergrad was in plant biology with a focus in forestry - what was I doing when I was 25? Slinging booze until 3am. It was about then i got a job with the forestry division of the local power company doing tree valuation....from there I got a job at the state in drinking water (just because they needed someone with a tangential degree), I liked it and had a knack so I went back to grad school when I was 28 and got a master's in hydrological statistics, got a job as a fed (because they needed someone with the exact skillset I had) when I was 31. Sometimes shit just works out....If you force it or compare yourself to others you're never going to break out of it.
>more on parents
I got off track a bit on that - My parents expected a duplicate of my sister (ive league education, phd right off the bat) and couldn't parse me not wanting to be an academic until I died. It drove me bonkers for years, but ya know what? I eventually stopped caring and never looked back. My sister is still an omega brain, but she can't communicate with normal people and comes off as a total bitch, so she's never really become all that successful.

Hard pill to swallow indeed. My best friend of many years moved a thousand miles away and we talk less and less. It's hard to let go of people who share years of profound life experience with you.

Not sad but lazy. Usually when my wife takes the kid to her parents. If its during the day, I'll go outside and do yard work until it gets dark.

I probably have about 16-20 drinks a day every day all day Saturday and Sunday. I don't want to drink water or eat much when I'm drunk. I do take multi-vitamins/B complex 100. I should look into a probiotic. Either way, my lifestyle is fucked. She is a cop so I make food for her on Sunday for all of her shifts during the week. I have a good job and a decent place for cheap so I don't wanna move, but it's becoming an option as I spend so much time and energy commuting. When she has a bad day I usually drive there after work during the week then drive back to my work in the morning. Costs loads in gas and wear and tear on my car but she is worth it.

That's an incredible amount, but you knew that. So it sounds like you're doing just about anything to be with your gf as much as you can but don't want to move to live with her. To me, it's something you should bring up with her and discuss in depth asap. If you think having a companion to live with will help the self destructive behavior, it's worth it to give it a shot. I'll gladly admit that I like living with my wife 98% of the time, and it really helps mental stability to have another person in your house with you that you can speak to about whatever - or just as importantly as a distraction from what's bugging you.

I am absolutely willing to shoulder the blame of this situation for my former politics - I would have passed over me, too. Just came in from mowing a lawn that was out of control because I have been deathly ill the past week and now I'm eating oatmeal because at least it won't hurt my chest when I have my inevitable bout of acid reflux caused by years of self-destructive alcoholism. My best years are behind me; I have no future in front of me. Everyone who truly loved me as a child is either dead or dying. The country is deadset on destroying itself through insane and unsustainable green policies that won't even matter when you consider how India and China do a hundred times the pollution each and will never stop. But, hey, at least we're closer to nuclear war than I ever have been in my life.

Unfortunately there is no outreach program that I'm aware of, they put out some press release during covid about mental health awareness but all they did was give employees free access to some app to help you meditate. Fortunately the insurance does cover therapy visits and I should have that within the month. In the meantime I have been working through a self-help book for cognitive behavioral therapy and it feels good to just write my thoughts down. I actually was considering getting a dog when I move into a bigger place hopefully later this year. I love animals and haven't had a dog in so long.

Having responsibility for something like that is such a strange thing. Like if you have any truly self-destructive thoughts the thought of your dog being alone makes you physically wince no matter what dark, horrible thought you had.
>this dumb animal will probably be sad if I finish this bottle of norcos, so I won't.
This same train of thought is applied to having a kid, but obviously magnified.
>Have a shitty day and be in a bad mood
>Kid gets off the bus
>"welp, cant take it out on her ignore it"
>Talk with kid for 10 minutes
>Realize what I was worrying or mad about is immaterial
>Anger/sadness/worry goes away.
I can't explain it, but there it is man.

>because they instantly go for comfort when it gets hard

yep
that's the core of all my life's problems and I don't know what I can do about it because any kind of advice involves effort and thus discomfort

[Anonymous No.19236344]

>>19235491
Really the only way to do it is to force yourself to be uncomfortable in a controlled environment. All of the advice is that because it's effective. It sucks and I know it's hard to do when your whole body is telling you not to but it's really the only way.

You're what's called new depressed. We're old depressed. You have no idea how to live without happiness.

Waste of time and money for what I studied but I will never ever forgive the cultural revolutionaries for what they've done. IT wasn't Maoist bad but that is purely from lack of capabilities rather than lack of intent. I know 2014 is now nearly 10 years ago so it's like the difference of 1990 versus 2000 but god it doesn't feel like that.

A "Controlled environment" is where air pressure, temperature, and humidity are monitored for quality control.

Is being sad weird? I thought it was normal. Noble truth #1 being “life is suffering” and all.

nta but i studied mathematics then, and there seemed to be a lot less wokeness in our dept than others, and a hell of a lot less than now-you could openly talk about how womens sports should be supported by women for example
although i remember getting dirty looks for implying the relatively poor area i came from had a higher rate of petty crime(it did and still does) even though it is less urban than where the uni was
classism was in the public eye in my childhood and now that seems to have faded to some warped oppression grabbing competition

Fishbröchten, like my depressed German Oma used to eat.

>Rye bread
>A tin of mackerel or sardines
>Dressing made from lemon juice, light Greek yogurt, black pepper, parsley or dill
>Thin sliced cucumber and/or onion

Eating some good quality seafood full of omega 3s and vitamin D really helps cut through the brain fog and always makes me feel better :)

>sad
>can't cook

I can do things when I'm "sad". you are probably actually depressed. I'm not usually lazy, but if I am lazy I will:
pan fry some beef with salt and garlic from my meat freezer
get a bolillo roll, microwave it, and spread goober (peanut butter with jelly in a jar) on it
ramen
just not eat because I'm on a calorie deficit diet anyway
frozen vegetables with a little melted butter and salt
air fry box of pierogies with a tbsp of butter and salt + pepper

or the real answer

Cooking is my way out of sadness and depression. So I cook a huge feast usually consisting of things I never cooked before.

Potatoes combine well with almost any other vegetable. Roughly mashed potatoes and broccoli, carrots, leek, turnip, celeriac, water cress, sorrel, spinach, (Jerusalem) artichoke... all work. One that doesn't work is beetroot, simply because it turns your dish into an unappetizing hue of pale burgundy.

Serve with a simple sausage, veal escalopes or lamb chops (in season) on top and pour your deglazed pan (water will do, beer or wine are obviously more tasty) on top as a sauce.
