Because I want to feel happy and have the energy to go and do something with my life instead of go to work and then go back home into bed and contemplate suicide in a viscous cycle.

So being happy and having more energy matters after all.
Adjust your lifestyle, eat more healthy, do some exercise, find a clear goal and monitor your progress. No one can do that shit for you, man, you're in total control and picked passivity.

What if I was born under the star of the beta? How can I overcome this torturous paradox? To act is the solution, but the problem is the inability to act? What does a man do when a invisible, indescribable, monstrous weight is put on his shoulders? There is no light or dark to be vilified or praised, there is only pure and raw cold existence, where I perceive no hope or beauty.

Well, the obvious thing to do is check if the depression can be cured simply. Sometimes depression can be cured slowly by simply doing new things, drabness can lead to depression, or accomplishing new things: set small tasks that you can accomplish and gradually increase their difficulty.

Have any of you even been depressed at all before. It's not like im some normie thats just been dumped by his GF. How can you fix anything when you don't even have the energy or mental strength to get out of bed? It feels like my fingers are rotting as im typing this. It's so much more than emotional or mental, I can feel depression in my gut, in my arms, my fingers, my eyes, its like im rapidly aging, it feels like I have no bloodflow.

Good, you have reached the ultimate and absolute threshold of reality.

You had enough strength and energy to make thus thread (instead of just googling) and presumingly enough to read replies and type your owns. Shit, you even had the mental strength to find a meme image, download it, waiting for the upload and waste enough time online to internalise shit like "tfw" and "normie". And of course there is work, so don't bother with shitty excuses. If you want to whine, be open about it and do it without the pretence of looking for a solution, venting is good after all and a bit hugboxing doesn't hurt.

Focusing on the suffering for too long is a waste of time, at best you'll get bored of self pity; or you can be proactive and adjust your lifestyle, that shit would turn everyone depressed.

Eat veggies, fruit, eggs from a farm cut out grain and dairy. Lift and do something that benefits you and/or others. Learn a practical skill. Don't read or listen to anything depressing. If all that fails, do DMT and have a convo with some good spirits. Be careful around the bad ones tho. Good luck.

>Feeling Good by David Burns

Read this.

It's based on a great deal of clinical experience aimed at developing a method of treating depression that doesn't take months or years. That works quickly -- very quickly.

You can get the gist of it by reading the first 30 pages or so.

It will help pull you out of your hole.

After it helps you, pass the word along to others when you see a thread like this.

Don't worry if you can't do it all immediately. Take things in little steps and gradually you'll have more energy and feel better.

Get yourself some sweet, sweet Zoloft. You'll take it and be amazed at how well it works. Then when you're ready to not be on meds for the rest of your life and you taper off of it, exactly as your doctor says, your brain will zap itself and you will feel dizzy and awful and you will realize that this miracle drug was actually some kind of sick poison.

Anyway, get a dog or something. Then you'll be forced to take it for walks and take care of it and stuff. Take it to a park and girls will talk to you.

When i got depressed i somehow menaged to get my life on track in just 1 month. The more depressed i got the more i pushed back, joined a gym, started studying hard, learning japanese, reading books, running and visiting my friends. I think it was the most productive period of my life now that i think about it. I still go to the gym after 3 years and everytime i look at the mirror i can't believe i actually look like that, it's like putting the head of a nerd in a ripped body, it's pretty funny.

Try psychedelics, seriously. Depression fucks with how your body uses the neurotransmitter serotonin, and psychedelics like LSD and ecstasy drastically alter your serotonin reception. I was severely depressed for about 2 years and nothing was helping, not medication, therapy, exercise, etc. My friend convinced me to try LSD with him and it was life changing. I was able to be happy in a way I hadn't been since I was a child. There is a lot of research going on right now into how psychs can help people with mental illness because the results are truly unbelievable. That said, using drugs is inherently dangerous and you need to do your research first to make sure you're safe. But if depression is really affecting your life so negatively, you need to do what it takes to get better.
