Unsolved problem.

All you can really do is try to live as healthy as you can (food, sleep, exercise etc etc) and hope your brain balances itself out. If that doesn't help you can try medications but they don't always work and sometimes you're just left with the side effects and nothing more.

I also think i am depressed now, although its a mixture of being unemployed and jaded because i have about 500 rejections from all applications (i am philosohy MA so every job i apply for is "out" of my scope basically - i mainly apply for marketing/media). My contention is if i had a job i would risk more and crypto and literally made it.

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and got into a depression even attempted suicide but when I was starting to get on antidepressants I was getting angry and felt artificial. I’m not saying antidepressants don’t have their merits but I found another way, eating healthy, staying active, changing outlook on life. If I had just listened to my psychiatrist instead of my family, I’d be taking pills every night to sleep and every morning for depression besides getting a shot for schizophrenia, but now I limited it to just the shot.

You forgot Wellbutrin (buproprion), which is one of the most popular antidrepressants right now. It has fewer side effects and is way more fun. It's a dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.

Watch Jordan Peterson videos, follow your interests or expand them, eliminate toxic influences on your thinking and emotions like porn, excessive 4chan or certain boards, negative news sources that has no impact on your life but to magnetise you negatively to it, excessive junk food, wasteful petty arguments etc.

Move your body 3x a week for 30 mins+, whatever is best balance for you. It's proven to impact your emotional system positively, experiment and see for yourself to what degree it's helpful for you, listen to music / audiobooks you like to make it more enjoyable too

Better your perspectives, mindsets, ways of thinking with books or audiobooks by people who have made it in a relevant area. Be open to evaluating info but put the things you don't resonate with aside and look for the beneficial stuff you do.

Look into the growth mindset and adopt it
Find people on YouTube or whatever you resonate with and listen to them occasionally for renewed perspective

Fight small step by small step out of it and remind yourself it will pass, don't allow hopelessness to win over you and corrupt your perspectives. Use the pain as positive leverage and overcome it one step at a time with patience.

There is nobility in overcoming your suffering bit by bit, and transforming it into a more enjoyed living instead of letting it fuck with you into wasting away and the world missing out on your potential great gifts unmanifested yet that would also be enjoyed by you being active in once grown into. You do not know your potential until on a path, as it unfolds

We make decisions through pain & pleasure expectations (Anthony Robbins). Change what you expect to bring you pain & pleasure by thinking things through for new intel, and you change your decision.

Do that for a good area and you gain momentum, then things flow. Could try meditation for letting heavy states pass faster. Your purpose rn is to discover how you can enjoy life more, approach like a scientist.

Lots of good points actually, many true, who would have thought it /biz/. Ive suffered with depression for 20+ years and I don't think there is a cure, all you can do is try to manage it. I've basically made it, NEET life for 10 years plus now - money makes no difference at the base level, once the distractions it buys are no longer special, you'll just feel as depressed as before. Exercise, diet, no fap, reading regularly, self discipline all help. Ketamine in low doses (15mg and lower), microdosed acid (10-20ug every 3rd day) help too. Getting a gf def helps. Also you could try cbd oil no one mentioned it yet. Most important thing is self discipline, you have to force yourself sometimes. A link stack will also help for sure. God speed op

they might temporarily reduce depressive symptoms since they are serotonin receptor agonists. They definitely don't cure shit though. They can lead to realizations that you have to make changes in your life and be the emotional catalyst you need to start exercising socializing etc. But they don't fix you in and of themselves.

drink a lot of tea from passion fruit leaves or any other anti anxiety kind, listen to some meditation frequencies, any time you want, also, when you lay down just focus on your breath, keep focused on: breathing in, breathing out...
i'm on it and sometimes i even manage to have lucid dreams

Most self help books are absolutely retarded, as a clinically depressed person who's highly medicated with anxiety/neurotic/early onset sktizo I've read dozens
The only good one I've read is "How to be miserable". Fucking 10/10, read it and make effort to change and you're guaranteed to make 300% emotional gains

There are lots of scientific written content and documentaries about primitive tribes. They are not in permanent full bliss, but they are happier than modern societies.
Ok sometimes they get eaten by a crocodile, or they get a bad injury and die. However, look at the average physical and psychological state of the average westerner. Is it better to live like a zombie, or risk your life everyday, but be globally happy? Not to mention that car accidents happen a lot and also have dramatic consequences even today.

This anon gets it. That's why sport is important. It emulates hunting.
