Say what you don't think. What what what what what do we know about depression?

[cacarara74874]

You sound like you're depressed yourself?

I agree with your comment about Eilish - but not Robin Williams. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's - and then an autopsy revealed that he had a form of dementia that has an associated risk of suicide.

Fame and money can't always buy you happiness.

I enjoy little things in life like hiking, a good videogame, music, non woke movie/tv shows. I study Camus and Marcus Aurelius so I'm more into stoicism, nihilism and absurdism. I had shitty parents and when my father died I didn't give a flying fuck, I'm just detached from people. I used to do cocaine and whisky almost every weekend but after a friend of mine died from the vaccine I decided to do a 180º, lost 25Kgs with intermittent fasting and long fasts, lifting and calisthenics and became straight edge.
Once you can hike for more than 5 hours without breaking a sweat and being able to fast for 4 days you realize you have it better than many.
I avoid social media because I'm not interested in seeing others perfect lives, but enjoy listening to stories like these girls, they have all the right to be depressed and maybe they are but they suck it up because what can they do?




On the other hand I despise scum like this, the grandson of fucking Elvis Presley who killed himself in his fucking mansion

I love the Buddhist concept of consciousness/awareness, it's ironic that such beautiful philosophy was born in a country filled with such rotten subhumans like india.

^ That's simply not true. It's an actual problem. Don't minimize another's problems just because you don't have this problem.

Of course it's true every person I've ever known who's been depressed is because they are weak, it's always people with addictions or health problems and if they cared to change their lives they would in most cases feel better....

I lived with addiction for over a decade and I was depressed and was on medication for it and I know full well what causes it and you know what I did I got clean from all drugs, got fit and healthy, got new friends and built back friendships I lost years ago and started my own business....

And I stopped taking the bullshit medication they were giving me and within a few weeks I felt ten times better and I've never been depressed again, it's almost always the weak who are depressed

 

[WhatIsLife64]

So because you were able to get better because you're such a manly man, me and everyone else is a weak POS? Congrats on your part, but that's utter and ignorant bullshit.
It is not simply a matter of being strong mentally, but actual measurable chemical imbalances in the brain. You have some real antiquated thinking there.
IMO, I've had depression my entire life. Low level but consistent feelings completely in line with the video. After decades of using drink and drugs to self-medicate, at age 50, i finally started taking the blue pill after an incident that scared even me.
I'm strong mentally, but depression is real. Now i need to go to wrestle a bear that's walking down my driveway.

Depression is oversold, we all have bad days, feel down, make bad decisions, and embarrass ourselves however "TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY"

Depression is not having a bad day. Its "souleating" shit.

Never was an addict, and never will be. Never had health problems. Being doped on meds and being admitted to closed wards have kept me alive. If you really had depression it's weird that you have such a little understanding, for others who have.And for people who is not able of handling stuff the way you did.

 

[Sweet Death]

so your saying your depressed still now a day?

No, I'm not depressed all of the time, but some days are worse than others

 

[Mackerel]

Why does anyone care about whether depression is an actual condition or a made-up, if it only affects weak people or it can affect anyone, if it is a chemical imbalance or an attitude, it is only oneself to blame or the circumstances? The thing is that people with depression are more unhappy, less effective, and easier to beat and control. I will never defend my depression as something to wear with pride. Victims become prey. I am not a victim. This stand on victimhood is nothing more than a mechanism of control. I am a nasty creature that needs to consume life to keep itself alive. I will say that if you are in pain, embrace it and if you have to die, die with stoic honor. Don't allow anything to make you believe that your pain makes you a victim of anything: society, genetics, chemicals, circumstances, personality... If you are a victim, you are a meal, don't be a meal until is the right time to give yourself up as an offering to the altar of life.

People with depression are the most creative suiciders.

Oh what a surprise you also had an addiction and depression 🤷‍♂️ exactly like I said...

And yeah it can be partly to do with a chemical imbalance but it can almost always be conquered simply by changing your life and removing the things that make you depressed from your life....

And it's nothing to do with beinga "manly man" I was sick and tired of been one of lives victims and sick of doctors telling me to take this medicine and it will make me feel better and guess what it never did 🤷‍♂️

What made me feel better was beating my addiction, cutting everyone with an addiction out of my life, getting fit and healthy and changing almost every aspect of my life and within weeks I felt better and I was severely depressed and was as low as you can get....

Change your life and cut all the negative things out of it and I guarantee that you will start feeling better, get down the gym every day, go for a hike or a swim in a lake or the sea, stop drinking, smoking and eating junk food and start looking after yourself and you'll feel much better for it....

II stopped feeling sorry for myself and stopped been a victim and took charge of my life and if I can do it anyone can, I had a raging drug habit

If you are taking medication ever day you have a habit and I understand it perfectly well and I know in most cases it's down to the persons lifestyle and it can be overcome...

Healthy lifestyle = Healthy body = healthy mind its that simple

I'll try my best.

Do as you please 😁 I didn't want to be one of lives victims anymore so I changed my life, what everyone else does or doesn't do matters very little to me 🤷‍♂️

 

[Sauerkraut]

Been doing ok for about the last 10 years after a rough 20s and 30s. But I know depression is sitting over there in the corner, saying, “I’m still here, fucker!”

Take a walk in my shoes. Live with the flashbacks I live with. Then tell me how "weak" I am.

No, I'm not depressed all of the time, but some days are worse than others

They will never get it. Someone who thinks it's mind over matter has never battled with true depression. At best they've had the "oh woe is me" tiktok attention seeking sadness that too many people call depression.

Calling someone with depression "weak" shows what a lack of understanding they have. Pushing through and still being alive when you've had episodes so bad you literally don't get out of bed for a month and get hospitalized by friends who happen by because you've also barely eaten and are so weak you don't even remember how you got to the hospital. To pull yourself up and keep going even though know full well you can, and probably will, feel that low again, and again, and again throughout your life and it can hit without warning anyplace and anytime. There is nothing stronger than that.

Well said 🤍A lot of people have what I call "poor me syndrome" and it's just a snowflake whining and crying over nonsense to gain attention. I've had some life-threatening incidents throughout my life. I have dealt with that and other serious shit. and I'm still here, helping people who can't help themselves. Fuck that "weakness" bullshit. I've never rolled over and let my hardships win....

No thanks I had plenty to deal with in my own life 🤷‍♂️ what happened to you happens to numerous other people and I know full well what depression is and I suffered from severe depression and was told I had Schizophrenia and was given numerous pills to take...

I was taking mood stabilisers, sleeping tablets and antipsychotic medication and it didn't make me feel any better 🤷‍♂️ depression can be overcome in most cases, if you really want to beat it you can and I don't care what anyone says...

People are just too weak to make changes in their lives, most people suffering from depression are addicts with poor health who have suffered some sort of trauma in their lives that they can't get past,

Instead of sitting on a couch or laying in bed all day popping pills, eating junk food, drinking alcohol, taking drugs, smoking, watching TV and going online they should get out and meet people and do some exercise and eat better and start looking after themselves instead of feeling sorry for themselves....

We didn't have all these depressed people in the 1800s and early 1900s, society has and is creating all these problems

Lol like nobody was ever depressed before the 20th century, where's the evidence for that? I don't do drugs, I work in a group home with older handicapped individuals 40+ hours a week, and I have serious, painful arthritis while I am working, I have health issues, but I go to work every day and do my best...but sometimes have anxiety and depression over things like how much longer can I do my job? I also live in a not so good situation, I have economic problems because I don't make enough money to pay my bills, even with overtime.

So you think I'm weak? I do all this by myself with no help. You think it's so easy to make changes when I work until I can't walk up the stairs to where I live? And I'm still not making enough money? You can fuck right off with your bullshit, you know nothing

Most of those things can be changed 🤦‍♂️ get a different job if you don't like the one you have, move house, get a better paying job...

Only you can change those things 🤷‍♂️ like I said if you change the things that are causing you to be depressed you likely won't feel as depressed, I used to moan that I wasn't earning enough money and couldn't afford to live so I started working for myself...

Change the negative things in your life ffs

Depression, as least as I have had it, isn't something I would wish for anyone. The closest you come to be a living dead.

Its gotten way better on my older days. But it will always be a close "friend" following/stalking me through life. Docs can't help me any further..and I had plenty. They gave up long ago. But at least I can now cope without meds. Without a strong will to die.

If you are taking medication ever day you have a habit and I understand it perfectly well and I know in most cases it's down to the persons lifestyle and it can be overcome...

Healthy lifestyle = Healthy body = healthy mind its that simple

Do as you please 😁 I didn't want to be one of lives victims anymore so I changed my life, what everyone else does or doesn't do matters very little to me 🤷‍♂️

I have been underweight and was depressed.
I have been skinny and was depressed.
I have been fit and was depressed.
Now im very overweight and I'm the least depressed I've ever been.

I have taken no meds and been depressed
I have been admitted and doped and still depressed.

I don't take meds now(well I have my adhd meds... but don't take them regularly either) And havnt for the longest time. I still get depressed from time to time.
When I have been on meds I never had problems with stopping from one day to the other. Never got withdrawal symptoms.

I never liked to drink neither beer, wine or alcohol. Never liked to do any drugs.
I hate the feeling of a super slow mind and not feeling like me.

I really don't fit into your little box.

Depression is not only brain chemistry and faulty transmissions, or the lack of it. It's also a hereditary predisposition, about trauma and environmental factors. Also there is a spectrum. Some have light, mild depression others have very severe depression.

You can't force people into the same box as your self. Everyone is different. What works for you, might not work for others.
What is succes for you might be failure to others.

I have dealt with this for atleast 33years. I'm sure if your statement was the absolute solution, doctors a long the way would have "cured me". Or/and my life style would as well. I'm still depressed.

 

[cacarara74874]

get a different job if you don't like the one you have, move house, get a better paying job...

Most people can't just simply find a better job with better pay, some are lucky to have that one job. Depression can be deal by accepting things that are out of your control, money and jobs are not for most people I know.
