i know this feeling why wont someone just hug me, not a hug in a manly way when im drunk but a genuine embrace and a sign of care, why cant i just have that, why cant i just have that one thing. part of it is the desire for the woman to make me whole but i feel like giving in to this desire will poison me slowly

Although I only read the beginning I got The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath when I asked someone else the same question.

A book which I completed is Girl, Interrupted by Susan Kaysen. Girl, Interrupted is more about B. P. D. and going through the system. A big part of the book is she was committed after just 1 therapy session meaning it was unjustified, and she doesn't talk much about depressive thoughts.

>>12034312
I have only been hugged by my mother and occasionally my father. It’s nice when they do it because it’s in a familial-love-kind-of-way but I long for a romantic hug

It's a narcissist. Any effort casted in their direction will be redirected into emotional support with a chance to get the supplier hooked into a codependent/predator relationship.

Fuck "depressed" people.

is anhedonia a form of depression?

I think thomas ligotti has it and me by reading his books got it too now.

>>12035553
yeah, that sounds about right.

>>12035553
Anhedonia is a major symptom for most with a depressive disorder, and invariably leads to depression in those who experience it.

Once you stop feeling pleasure it gets hard to focus on anything other than pain.

>>12035587
>and invariably leads to depression in those who experience it.
That's not true. Anhedonia is very common among schizoids but not all schizoids develop depression.

>>12035612
Yeah, you've got it right anon. Anhedonia is the negation of both pleasure and pain, positive feelings and bad, until life is like an incredibly viscous sludge that refuses to change in any way regardless to the amount of medicine you plug yourself with. It really feels like I live in another world from people now, where the months drop like flies and it's not even something to be upset over. The last time I felt a real emotion was December of 2016. What I feel now is like 1/100th of the strength. It's complete neutrality. Almost like purgatory.

What's interesting is that no matter how many times I try to show people this thing my life has become, they never react. I guess they think I'm being metaphorical, because it appears to me 99.9% of people just cannot comprehend a world that does not bring them feeling. I'm not a schizo - perfectly sane, was normal once - my life just changed and I don't know if I'll ever make it back.

Listened to the audiobook. Didn't cure my depression but it was informative. Started doing the Handbook, hopefully it will do something.

>There are Hypocrisies of several kinds in our Afflictions. In one sort, we pretend to lament the Loss of some Friend exceeding dear to us, and all the while this Lamentation is only for our selves. We are troubled to think our selves less happy, less easie, less considerable, and less valued, than we were before. Thus the Dead carry the Name and the Honour of those Tears, that are shed only upon the Account of the Living. And this I call Hypocrisie of one kind, because in these Afflictions, People impose upon themselves. There is another kind, not so harmless as this, because that imposes upon all the World. And this is the Affliction of a sort of Persons, that pretend to a Decency, and a never dying Concern in their Grief. When Time, the Waster of all Things, hath worn off the Concern they really had, then they will needs be obstinate in their Sorrows, and still carry on their Complaints and their Sighs. They put on all the Characters of Mourning and Sadness, and take a great deal of Pains by all their Actions, to make the World believe, their Melancholy can never have any rest, any cessation, but in the Grave. This dismal, tiresome, and solemn Vanity is most usual among ambitious Women: Their Sex hath shut them out from all the common Ways that lead to Honour, and that makes them attempt to signalize themselves, by all this Pageantry of an Affliction, too deep to admit of any Comfort. There are yet another sort of Tears, that have but shallow Springs, quickly and easily flow, and are as easily dried up again; these are such as weep to gain the Reputation of Tenderness and good Nature; such as cry because they would be pitied; such as cry because they would make other People cry; and, in a Word, such as cry, only because they are ashamed not to cry.

>>12036370
This is a good CBT book but it only helps if your life is already decent.
It will work for most normies on here that feel better after changing their diet or trying meditation for a week i.e. people that get stuck in negative thought loops and patterns and a little bit of self-awareness and change in habits is enough to jump-start their mood.

It's pretty useless if you're actually mentally ill or dealing with a personality disorder or have a shit life in general.

>>12035998
I have had it. Then I realized I was operating under the assumption life wasn't about misery. It absolutely is. You either get comfortable with it, and develop some genuine, self-love, in the process, or you make yourself and others hurt.

Darkness Visible

oer

We need a /self-help/ sticky. The volume of self-help or /r9k/ tier threads is ridiculous.

I don't know how this oprah winfrey style literature=self-help bullshit has seeped onto /lit/ but its is strange how it correlates with the influx of /pol/ and T_d refugees

>>12036827
There is one already in /adv/, where it belongs.

Reminder not to talk to psychiatrists and never take their medications. All antidepressants INCREASE the risk of suicide, carry significant withdrawal symptoms, and ironically only help a small minority of users.

The only things that have been proven to improve happiness:

1. Close relationships. Most people have at least one person (mom) they can talk to. If you have abusive parents and no friends, you might not. In this case, you may need to start with a therapist. If you have close friends, visit your friends. The happiest cultures, like traditional Italy and traditional Japan, place a lot of emphasis on spending time with family and eating together

2. Exercise. The evidence for exercise improving happiness is overwhelming, and far more convincing than the evidence for any so called “antidepressant.”

3. Pro-social or charitable activity. Giving things to people in a sincere spirit of generosity raises happiness levels. If you have money and friends, and easy way to do this would be to go out with them and buy them food and drink. But since a lot of us here don’t have friends and money, the alternative is to volunteer your time to a charity.

4. Spirituality. People that go to church, pray, and meditate are happier than people who don’t.

5. If you try to do these things and really can’t, consult a therapist. Do NOT consult a psychiatrist. They will make you dependent on neurotoxic chemicals that could make you suicidal, homocidal, give you akathisia, erectile dysfunction, and might be impossible to stop.

Finally, I would argue that it is not helpful for you to characterize yourself as, “having depression.” This implies that there is some sort of virus inside of you.

Was hugged for the first time recently by a coworker that is leaving. It surprised me and I recoiled from her slightly. The look of pity and confusion in her face killed me.

>>12036879
Well, depends on the severity. Like I said, CBT is pretty good for mild or less serious depression.
Depending on your life situation, it might be very difficult to stabilize your mood or set goals when you have dysfunction in every part of your life.
At the end of the day, it's just a tool. And maybe you could use an axe to dig a tunnel through a mountain, but I still wouldn't recommend it.

Sounds like you're projecting your own experience with the disease onto other people.

imo depression is almost completely biological and all the explanations and causes we come up with are just our pattern recognition striving to find some reason behind it. I don't buy that it's from chemical inbalances either, but I believe that the basis is biological and all the other feelings and conceptions spring from that. I could be wrong.

>>12037577

>>12037610
There's a lot more connections to depression than just the chemical imbalances. For example, they're finding correlations between the gut microbiome and various mental illnesses, including depression. There's been studies on the benefits of exercise as well. Depression is a multifactorial illness, and I think the wild varience in effectiveness of antidepressants between people proves this.

>>12037630
for fucks sake, those are just statistical connections, a chemical imbalance sounds like a buzzword, but honestly you have no idea how medicine works if you think it's not the only way actual working drugs are made
you have this meaningless noise of various things with some tenuous connection to depression, but in the end you want to arrive at a simple statement, for example that the immune system impacts the brain via inflammation markers and cytokines (i.e. chemicals duh) stimulating sickness behavior, but no you have to give it this flowery language of a multifactorial non-linear incomprehensibly complex illness because you're a fucking pseud

>>12037704
desu we agree on more than you realize. When I say "chemical imbalances," I was referring to the conception most laymen have of depression: "you're just low on serotonin bruh." If I were talking to someone completely clueless on depression, inflammation is one of the things I would mention. Inflammation can be treated with more than drugs but I digress.
Also, you're using a lot more "flowery" language than I did. For example, I didn't imply anywhere that it was "incomphrensibly complex." I just mentioned there's other factors besides muh serotonin.

Yozo isnt depressed, hes a fucking mentally ill sociopath who goes around treating those niceist to him like trash, calls them parasites, ugly etc and cant even go to the shop without having a meltdown, oh and he had plenty of women throw themselves at him, yeah such a hard fucking life.

>>12033404
I'm in the same boat as you, OP. I've been depressed since the age of 7 (I'm 20 now), and suicidal for the first seven years of that range. The most painful thing for me is looking back and realizing that the causes of my depression became manifest. I thought I was disfigured and ugly, and that eventually became true. I thought I had a horrible personality and that no one liked me, and that became true too. I thought I was socially hopeless, and I am still socially hopeless today. But when my depression began, none of these things were true. So I feel like depression robbed me not only of my childhood, but also my future.

As I am now, I am utterly irredeemable. I stopped growing at the age of 12, and I have to wonder if the depression wasn't somehow related. My face used to be nice and symetrical, but now I look like I had a stroke. I don't know how to make friends anymore or relate to people meaningfully, and I've made a habit out of avoiding social interaction. I started working out to boost my self esteem, but I realized that my left arm and left leg are shorter than the right ones. So I can't squat properly, can't deadlift properly, and can't bench properly. The more I work out, the more pronounced the imbalance becomes.

The worst part is that I keep getting worse. I look more and more disfigured and my social skills atrophy with each passing day. If I were in somebody else's shoes and saw myself, I would hate myself. Everything I do comes off as rude, I speak in short blurbs because I don't know what to say. If I didn't know better, I would say that I'm mentally handicapped, but I was normal for a good portion of my childhood.

>>12042808
cont.
I feel like I'm unique, though, in that I'm not bitter about my afflictions anymore. The "incel" crowd blames the world for rejecting them, but I've accepted that I rejected myself. My issues are internal, and I accept that I am responsible for the way I respond to them. I love people, and I wish that someday I could be more like them.

I've tried to develop a personality again and "exist" as a person, but I don't think I'll ever succeed. At this point, I've kinda resigned myself to this sad shadow of a life, as every attempt I've made to escape reinforces my negative self-image. All I can say at this point is this: get treatment for your depression before it takes over your life. Given enough time, it will project those negative thoughts into your reality, and you will be irreversibly changed. It feels like the depression killed who I was, and is walking around wearing my skin like a suit. Still, I love life, if only for being able to see how normal people choose to live it.

My ex was a drug addict and she's a happy and good person now. Everyone has flaws. Some carry more weight than others though. I didn't understand at the time. There's a book rec at the end of this video

She looks a lot like my ex. If her features were a little smoother, breasts a little smaller, and she had a dragon tattoo on her arm they'd be like twins. Ex was a depressed BPD and likely a nymphomaniac.

She looks so soft. I want to hurt her.

It's pretty good. The author has an open pro-pharmacological bias but it's mostly balanced and understandable considering that's what saved his life (If you don't already know the author was left nearly catatonic and had to be hospitalized, so it wasn't just meme depression).

>>12033404
In my experience, books about depression only serve to reinforce the delusion of the depressed mind, so don't go overboard with it. With that said, I understand the desire to find some sympathy in books. No Long Human by Dazai Osamu is one such book. No happy ending, so don't expect that.

One pretty good theory about depression is that it's a behavioral shutdown in terms of behaivoral investment theory, and this thus can happen across the various principles of the theory. (When the costs are more than the gains there there is no point in the exertion of effort, after all entropy will keep increasing, and even though the system is open is not receiving resources to keep itself, and so depression occurs, Sure sometimes it happens as an evolutionary adaptation, someitmes it happens as part of the developmental process, sometimes it's part of the learning of the animal, but it's always related to a behavioral shutdown

As someone who suffered from serious psycotic depression, reading doesn't get rid of your condition. A lot of people who are simply sad for x amount of environmental factors think they have depression but don't. If you are seriously depressed the only way to change this is experimenting with drugs.

If nothing helps then realize you have the ability to be miserable as anyone else can in life. In which case I would suggest looking at religion or some form of asceticism to make peace with yourself.
>Inb4 muh nietzchean will to power
Nietzche failed to change anything about himself. He was always a bitter intellectual distancing himself from his problems through near infinite intellectualization of his scenario. In the end he changed nothing about himself.
