You may also be actually having a crisis, but there's no point in having a crisis AND a headache. 2: The obvious signs of depression are as follows: Difficulty concentrating, remembering details, and making decisions Fatigue and decreased energy Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, and/or helplessness Feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism Insomnia, early-morning wakefulness, or excessive sleeping Irritability, restlessness Loss of interest in activities or hobbies once pleasurable, including sex Overeating or appetite loss Persistent aches pains, headaches, cramps, digestive problems with treatment Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" feelings Thoughts of suicide, suicide attempts In particular, if you're suffering from three or more of these, including "thinking you're depressed", for more than a week, you're suffering clinical depression. 3: There's no one reason for depression, but several things have been known to cause it. A common one is being stuck in a situation that appears hopeless and not being able to do anything about it. It may also be a chemical imbalance in your brain. 4: Simple solutions involve making your own life less shitty. One reason for feeling shitty? Low self-esteem, chronic pain, health or body image issues. Lifting may get you bulked, make you feel good about yourself, and really does help because it generally helps you get healthier. It's an achievable goal that can make you feel that you're doing something positive, even if nothing else is going right. 5: Working out the cause of the problem may also assist. Getting to the core of the issue may allow you to face it, do something about it, or allow that to be less stressful. Got a girl who's getting you down? Can't stand up to your parents? Work out what you can do, and do it. If necessary therapy may assist to identify the problem.

>> [_] Anon 3263857 Depression is more like systematic entropy. A true depressed person wouldn't be going to parties or getting others' opinions on their feelings because they wouldn't be sharing them. A real depressed person wouldn't share or do much of anything at all. Most people are just depressed in a meme sort of way, have some busy moments where they function pretty well and keep their minds off of it at times, while others are actually disabled and prone to these feelings 100%.
>> [_] Anon 3263865 >># >A true depressed person wouldn't No, that's someone with crippling depression. There are ranges of depression. Someone can function while depressed. It's still important to get that sort of person less depressed because people who are depressed tend to fuck up more because their mind isn't on the job.

I'd do it if I had weights in my home but I do not. wage-slave living paycheck to paycheck. Too exhausted from social interaction and work to do the gym. Though desu, I do hate how the whole outlook on depression lately has been so enabling. Dumb amount of people will just say "herp derp I'm depressed" and use it as an excuse to be lazy and bitch about nothing. I'm hella depressed every day but if I stop working and stop finding ways to cope with it, I'll get deported and just be a depressed hobo in the US. I swear to glob, letting depression and laziness be synonymous with one another is only a luxury of the privileged.... but then again if I had the luxury to not work and just stew in my depression, I probably wouldn't be accomplishing any of my personal goals and I would probably not be finding ways to cope with my issues. So I guess being a poor outsourced American worker with no family has its perks?

Since all your negative thoughts and behaviors feed off of each other in an infinite sadness loop where your life won't improve, the only way to break out of it is to kick depression's ass You have to say fuck it, I am going to do happy shit like go for a bike ride or see friends because if you don't you are good and truly fucked. Your happiness isn't something that will just come naturally or fall from the sky, you have to get your ass out there and make it yourself. If that doesn't seem helpful then fuck you "you should be happy," >thanks asshole "no really, that's the secret, just be happy in yourself," >No I think I'd rather be depressed forever "ok then your loss," Buddha said do not seek happiness outside of yourself. I think he meant material things don't make you happy but more than that, you could be an astronaut out in space completely isolated without anything to do, see or hear and you could choose to be happy. Or not. you are the master of your own destiny, good or bad

After doing that for some time, got myself a nice car, was a Peugeot 308 - second hand but it looked pretty sweet. Eventually I looked ripped, had a nice car, picked up chicks often. Eventually found a nice girl, had a decent relationship for like a year but that all went sour after a while when she started looking elsewhere for "more attention". After all of that ordeal I just couldn't be bothered with it, figured out none of that really made me happy - if anything I felt as though I had lived some fake bullshit life. Crashed that nice car, got what insurance money I could out of it. Went binge drinking a lot, stopped working or even going to gym. Went back to what I used to do back in my childhood teen years which was playing video games. Found 4chan a few years ago, done nothing but play games - never been happier. Moral of the story - everyone is different and won't find happiness from something just because it worked for someone else. People have to experience it all for themselves and figure out what is best for them.

That last guy was the closest to correct of all of them because exercise works about as well as medication for dealing with any depression north of severe. It's just that cardio works better than gainz. Because depression is a result of your genes AND your environment, usually mostly your lifestyle and how you think.

Just like if you park a car in a garage for 20 years with no upkeep and then try and fire it up, things are going to go wrong. Psychologists legally can't prescribe drugs, that's what psychiatrists do. Big pharma isn't going anywhere because they spend the most on lobbying of anybody by a billion dollars.

Life is not a fucking happy great thing, life is pain, suffering, and struggle to survive. All this is compounded by the shitty culture we live in. Psychologists, psychiatrists and all that crap are symptoms of the times we live in. Just a bunch of frauds peddling easy answers and letting everyone assign blame to something external and socially acceptable, a disease. But the truth is very few of those who call themselves, or are called depressed actually are so.

>> [_] Anon 2730088 As someone who grew up with a psychologist for a mother, The reason that suicides are so common with anti depressants is because sometimes depression is a fog that clouds your real problems, when that fog lifts, you are left to see how truly shitty your life is and your (medical) depression falls by the wayside and the bleakness of you life sets in. If you are depressed the only person who can cure it is YOU, even with pills (which you should definitely take) YOU have to be read to improve your life, your therapist can only guide you along.

>> [_] Anon 2487081 >># Give yourself some time alone and think. "What do I want?" It could be money, a partner, some sort of a career. But write down some goals and keep the list. Start making little steps to get some of the smaller goals, I'd suggest not drinking to try and fix anything. But you know as well as I do that drinking is a depressant. A temporary fix that will make you feel worse in the long run. People always say working out will make you feel happy because for a lot of people, it will. It gives you the sense of progression, self worth and pride, gives you confidence and alleviates anger. If none of that works for you, go see a doctor.

There ARE possibilities for everyone. But it happens when you set goals for yourself and achieve them. I know the output of the video was pretty negative to the advice given but there is a solid point in there. Positive thoughts will generally make you more happier, working out will give you confidence and make you learn to love yourself, taking a step back and realizing what you have will teach you that sometimes things aren't that complicated unless you make them.

A natural fear, but fear nonetheless. Or you go with "muh faith" and suicide is burn in Hell for all eternity which is real great for a loving God to give to someone after making them suffer in life as well.

Sunlight, socializing (barring any other social disorder shit), sex and shitloads of other things help it, but they sound about as appealing as listening to someone bitch about their perfect life.

>> [_] Anon 2281259 The last guy's actual advice is terrible for many with depression, especially chronic depression, but it can be comforting sometimes to hear "Don't worry about it, it's gonna be alright." Also, the sister's advice wasn't even advice.
>> [_] Anon 2281261 >># I think that's the point
>> [_] Anon 2281263 >># Do you even lift?
>> [_] Anon 2281265 The one about working out is actually the best, right next to the "it's gonna be alright". Working out releases dopamine. Dopamine = goodfeels. It's also addictive. I've suffered from depression for three years. Working out lifts me up every time. I'm obese and still have a horrible overall condition but lifting some weights and doing crunches and pushups eventually got me into jogging. The depression has slowly began to disappear slowly but steady. So, if you think you are nothing. A waste of space worth nothing and all you could was to kill yourself, at least do some pushups before grabbing that gun. You realize that the easy task of pulling the trigger seems such a meaningless and worthless and stupid thing compared to using your whole body to punish yourself for being a meaningless, worthless and stupid piece of meat.
>> [_] Anon 2281266 >># Maybe the shallow consumerism and sex, but definitely not exercise, he was bang on about that. This can be particularly good, as exercise releases endorphins into your bloodstream, having the affect of making you feel good, as it is actually a type of morphine your body naturally produces. Regular exercise can permanently boost your endorphins level, making you generally happier as a result. Furthermore, become fitter and doing things with that fitness (sport, marathons) can give people a great sense of accomplishment, which in turn fights depression. And obviously, if obesity is the root cause or a factor in depression exercise is the best remedy. So, for depression, one can actually walk it off. (Note to Ameriboos, people who say exercise does nothing to combat depression are just trying to sell you anti-depressants that actually don't do much.)
>> [_] Anon 2281269 >># Alternatively, just take morphine.
>> [_] Anon 2281272 >># that couldn't end badly
>> [_] Anon 2281276 Yeah, exercise can help in overcoming depression, just as having lots of sex can, or making a conscious effort to focus more on positive things, but any one thing on it's own is rarely enough. Depression also comes with a whole bunch of shitty side-effects, which depending on how ingrained they are, can effectively limit what a sufferer will feel able to do. If they've got a good support network or good enough friends / whatever, then it's possible to help pull them towards a better routine, but on their own a depression sufferer would find anxiety and lethergy running directly against the idea of exercise. Similarly, even if you get into it, it's not a cure, but it's a painkiller. The positive effects that exercise can have on your chemistry won't cure depression, but it can help take the edge off it (provided anxiety, lethergy and self-opinion problems don't make exercise a net loss in mood).
>> [_] Anon 2281278 It's a complex issue. What's great for one sufferer can actually have detrimental effects to another. The kind of support network, the kinds of side-effects already underway, and how long the depression has been going for all play a big factor.
>> [_] Anon 2281304 Depressed people are such faggots. Get over it. You're not some special snowflake.
>> [_] Anon 2281308 >># Exercise only causes mood change over a long time. If you have the drive for that, you aren't depressed. The fact that well-off, successful people often kill themselves is also a strong indicator that "winning" is not a good way to stave off depression.
>> [_] Anon 2281345 Depression, so troubling and complex! No one can understand my situation im not just like everyone else I have a serious issue. Yeah no, with that mentality they should just go commit suicide because it most likely follow them their whole life even if "cured". >but you dont understand what its like because you never had it or mine is different. Diagnosed at 18. Its true people have different states but it all depends on their willpower. Everyone goes through the same swings and struggles its just how they handle it. As for me, Depression in a way is the only true form of any enlightenment in life. It helped me counter balance emotions and come to an acceptance of the bleak output we all face in the end, but at the same time cured itself by providing motivation by removing any fears of death ive had. In fact, i would probably be some burn out college student living his way paycheck by paycheck if it werent for it.

If you ever actually suffered from clinical depression, or even ever known anyone with any sort of mental illness, you'd know that it's not something that can simply be willed away.

One is a fluctuation in a normal, healthy individual. The other is literally a neurological imbalance of the physical kind, or the result of other root causes.
>> [_] Anon 2281413 >># >Fell into depression That's not Depression. Depression is a chronic chemical imbalance in the brain that causes a specific set of symptoms to manifest. It isn't something you fall into or out of. It isn't something that you can contract or cure. Someone with Depression has a PERMANENT mental illness. They were born with an abnormality in the structure and function of their brain, and will experience the symptoms continuously for their entire life, until they die. You are so full of shit.

>> [_] Anon 2215296 What lifts you from depression might not work for others. Depressed people are bothersome to others, some put up, some push you away, some try to change you. Depression is hereditary (both genetic and due to similar upbringing.) Discussing your depression in a simple matter of fact way usually doesn't help depression go away, but it might help you to understand workarounds or figure out why you want to be active in spite of depression. I think the dude from high school actually has the best advice. Not just to look sexy, being healthy feels better than being weak. Tho I think something interesting like trail running or dancing is much better than something boring and slightly painful like weights. But that's just my opinion, maaaaan. I've been a little depressed in the past, but everybody's different. I apologize if this isn't the place to blather about stuff like this.

He equates depression with external factors only and makes the assumption that looking good on the outside will always make you feel better on the inside.
