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.

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.

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.)

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).
>> [_] Anonymous 02/06/14(Thu)18:52 No.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.

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.

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.

I would say having help through it is nice and supportive but does not let the person learn
anything and they are most likely prone to falling into it again later in life or worse, relying
on support.
But to each their own. Ive survived it what about you?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was misdiagnosis. 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.
Or that depression is some path to enlightenment. It's like saying a broken collar bone makes you
see the meaning of life. It's utter nonsense.

I dont plan on trying to prove it to anyone as i know it is all opinion and experience based.
Ive lived with a cave dwelling schizo and a suicidal girlfriend (which is most likely why i fell
into depression)

Physical damage compared to a mental illness. Considering one can be fixed in a month while the
other can last a lifetime.

Do you expect everyone thats supporting you to be diagnosed with depression and going through the
same thing as you? You dont go to an art class to learn math.

You're confusing the common emotion of depression (as in, severe melancholy) with the actual
medically certified condition of depression, as in MDD, neurochemical imbalance or other
layered/assorted emotional neurosis and conditions.
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.

>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.

Suddenly, psychologists everywhere. It will never end, even if you think that you've beaten it,
it will only come back later even stronger. Maybe not today or tomorrow or even in 5 years, but
it will be back There is only one way out and even that won't offer you relief.

You don't get it. Depressed people are not just sad, they are INCAPABLE OF FEELING HAPPY despite
how well things may be going for them. The teacher's advice is actually the worst of all, because
a lot of depressed people actually feel a lot of shame about the fact that they are sad despite
having a good life. Pointing it out to them doesn't help anything.

Tough shit. Then get it together and take some pills. If you can't do that, then kill yourself.
Life where ever OP's vid guy is probably fantastic, same goes for most normal idiots with
depression.
I'm so sorry telling you, you've got nothing to be butt mangled about is going to shame you about

Either do something about it or shut up. Because if you're not trying to get over it, you're
