What are some /fa/ ways of coping with depression?

fuck off

>>>/r9k/

>> No.9435948

by manning the fuck up, pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and becoming incredible

hit fucking rock bottom
like once you think you can't get any worse
but then find out that it can and will get alot worse

it's either sink or swim at that point

kill yourself or become fucking awesome

ofc this applies to extreme depression and my take on my personal experiences, not an ultimatum

You've clearly never had to deal with depression.

Find a way to monetize your passion. Gain social prowess in a local scene/sub culture and parlay it in to a gf.

to an extent

its cool to look like a reckless badass but if youre spending all of your effay money on heroin youve gone too far

as well as weed is probably the most un-effay thing ever

if you smoke weed you can probably never be effay unless youre black


coke is most effay prob


i dont do drugs tho :)

What, like a momentary rush of adrenaline and a 'don't-give-a-fuck' attitude?

Doesn't really help in the long run. I already don't care, I'm just depressed.

drugs
being alone
rarely mingling with particular people that are on your vibe
seeing a doctor if you have to
getting into a hobby or skill that doesnt require being around people very often

I have and I've found my own way to dig myself out of it

Yeah, momentary rushes of adrenaline that fade after a while leaving you even lower than where you were, yeah yeah I've been there but it's not the same

For me there just came a time where years and years of feeling like shit was enough, certain events just triggered episodes of development in self discipline

For you your way back up might not be the same, it's just how it was for me.

I think realizations like that just happen. I've had those life changing thoughts before but they're fleeting.

>> No.9435994

>>9435979

alot of depression "advice" is pretty generic and yes, it is fleeting, but once you have experiences where you really truly internalize that shit is when things really change imo. the values i live by now sounded so fucking unhelpful when i was depressed, as if coming from someone who had never experienced depression before, but they really are true, just have to really internalize for self actualization and the climb back up to start

cuz in the end nobody fucking gives a shit about you, you're the only person who can help yourself

maybe my streak of improvement is yet another fleeting spark of motivation? perhaps, but who cares, if you feel good in the present then that's all that matters, if you go back down there's more to learn in the long run, for me life's just a roller coaster of feeling like shit and having fun and doing cool shit and being ok with that

just me though take it with a grain of salt

get over it
realize that the thoughts you're holding onto are trapping you in the past, those moments are gone. Stop indulging in the "pleasure" that is holding onto pain and hate/sorrow. Respect yourself, because we all deserve the same amount of it- life is all equal.
Understand that you CAN be happy in this very second, all it would take is the real actual understanding that pain exists, it rises and it ceases. Release it

release =/= annihalate or forget/hide


enjoy yourself

OP mental health problems are serious, and enough people spend years grappling medication and therapy for it to be clear to me that appearing fashionable should not be your priority, getting better by any means necessary should always be #1.

A lot of the day to day life of being depressed is not /fa/, and the things in your life that are /fa/, (like taking care of yourself or looking presentable) take too much effort so you rarely do them.

The most /fa/ way of coping with depression is asking for help from your local doctor, and focusing on getting better.

Feeling sad for no reason all the time. That's what actual clinical depression is.

>> No.9436145

I have been struggling with depression together with automutilation and an ed for some years now and after several years of therapy and different medications and a suicide attempt things still didn't get any better. I am autistic, I cannot get anything out of my head, literally, and it kills me. The only option left for me is to go to a mental institution (again) for a longer period (several months). I am on the waiting list for one. If not I know I will end up killing myself. Telling someone to get yourself together is worthless advice, it that were actually possible nobody would suffer from depressions.
