I'm the anti-boomer.
I don't believe in bootstraps but I believe you can bootstrap yourself out of most depression.
Meanwhile boomers tell me to get a better job while drowning in Prozac.

Go to bed before 11 PM and get out of bed before 9 AM everyday. Go on a daily run thats at least 5-10 minutes, or do some kind of weightlifting. Eat healthily. Meditate. Spend a few hours reading. Go outside and get an hour of sunlight. Have a morning coffee. Accomplish some daily task. Try and stay off the internet. Learn to play an instrument. Listen to more positive and beautiful music like Stan Rogers or classical. Get closer to your family or friends or make new friends by joining a new hobby or club. Get involved in your community in some way. Do something that makes you feel like your life is useful.

If you do all or most of what I said in the above you should be able to cure your modern world depression. A lot of people have depression but its depression from a shitty lifestyle. It can be treated by living a lifestyle humans were meant to live and forcing yourself to getting out of uselessly nihilistic thought cycles.

There is a chance you may be suffering from a much more serious form of depression where there is genuinely something wrong with the chemicals your brain produces and you may need meds, though I would try out fixing your lifestyle for a few months to a few years before resorting to that unless your in a life threatening condition where you are genuinely thinking of killing yourself and either planning to act on it or have already acted on it in the form of self harm.

Yes unironically. I believe metaphysically the most chad and big brain solution in the whole of existence is to understand to the furthest extent the hopelessness and melancholy and pain and nihilism of our universe, and to laugh in its face with a wry smile and hopeful glint in your eye.

It's actually quite difficult to do anything when you're depressed. And you might be able to do it for a day or two, but it's difficult to sustain anything for very long. And maybe you can even muster the energy to do something for a week or two weeks, but then something happens, something quite innocuous, something others would grieve for maybe only an hour, like someone cancels an appointment or you have an argument with a family member or you get an email reminding you of some important deadline which you "forgot" about and then you're back to square one, back to your covers and late night internet binges and McDonald's Big macs with large fries and milkshake via Ubereats.

The brain is like a bunch of marbles running on grooves, and in the depressed brain the marbles get stuck in depressive grooves. The depressive grooves are the deepest for a depressive brain, so that any hit will jostle the marbles back into the groove. Like when you tilt a pinball machine to get the pinball into scoring hole.

The only people I know who have escaped are the ones that have radically changed their environment. That's why rehab works--while you're in it at least, the moment you're back home the brain tilts and it starts all over again.

You must remember the idea that depression is a big problem that should be tackled is very recent and it exists to serve the system we run on today
Try to ask yourselves, what is the worst that has happened to you because of your depression? Why is it bad at all?
Try to focus on why exactly you feel bad about being depressed, as in why you don't that state so profusely

What finally cured my depression after 5 years of trying almost everything was electroshock therapy. I highly recommend it if nothing is working.

incredibly based. I really think that listening to the full suite of bismarck era marching tunes in my formative years gave me my relatively uninterrupted cheerfulness. My favorite is the Parisier Einzugmarsch, you can feel the gloating joy of the army conquering the french as the song builds in intensity.
