>>101568327>factoriougly outdated gameI don't have the energy to do anything anymore.
It's taken me like 16 years but I've finally found a set of medications that I think are working to help my depression.Alongside that, I'm trying to be healthier and exercise more. All of that combined, there are times where I legitimately feel good. I always have to remind myself how I felt when I didn't have any of those things (major depression, apathy and suicidality)I find it really hard to remember how I felt at certain times for comparison, so a lot of the time I'd not be able to tell if something is working or not. Video game wise, I'd say any game that requires a lot of focus and thinking to help distract you should work, like Factorio or Civilization. Just don't overdo it since video games aren't a solution but a coping mechanism.

>>101568375I’ve been on Zoloft for like a decade and if I miss one day I start to feel lethargic and depressed. So, I’ve decided to slowly ween off it and I feel much better. Wish I had done it sooner.

>>101569886How do those help? Do you not have actual problems or do the drugs just make you stop thinking about your problems?
>>101568263>Technology to defeat depressionNo, you need the opposite. Take all your tech and throw it in the trash. Electronics are evil and keeping you down.

>>101568263Stop consuming stimulants be it eatable and/or informational. Go outside and enjoy learn to enjoy nature
>>101568263Work out 4 days a week + at least 30 min of cardioDon't drink or use drugsGet at least 8 hours of sleep every nightGet a job, preferably one that doesn't make you want to ropeEat a quality diet heavy in meat, dairy, vegetables, and unprocessed whole grains.

>>101568263Get buy several powerful LED bulbs for the room you spend most of your time in during the day, shoot for about 10,000 lumens of 5,000-6,000k color temperature lighting for daytime. Or 1,000 candela per square foot if you don't mind doing the math. LED corn bulbs are your friend.Consider making a diy vitamin d light using uvb fluorescent t5 ho bulbs and using it daily if you don't go outside. Make sure to wear uv blocking sunglasses while using it.Get a 250w ifrared heating bulb, stick it in your bathroom and stand under it for 10-15 minutes during the daytime, preferably around 10 am.

>>101570854Some people have a natural tendency to isolate even though interacting with real life humans helps them. You also get money as a bonus.
>>101570995it's less putting up with the people (thought that does get pretty old) it's more the business about having responsibilities and tasks to complete, on a schedule, every day, that makes me hate working.

>>101568498Do you have sex anon? I still get post nut clarity even after sex. It's actually worse than post-nut clarity after gooning because you have to look at what you just got done fucking and be disappointed with yourself and life. Maybe this a personal issue.
Abandon (or liquidate into precious metals) everything in mid to late spring and wander deep into the woods, preferably 3-5 days from emergency responders and stay innawoods for a year.You will either die or come out a conquering survivor, just look up how to do basic survival shit like making rope, snares, fire and shelter.

>>101568375I'm pretty drugs are also a coping mechanism and not a solution.
>>101572761pretty sure*
vitamins (and an overall balanced diet), exercise, mindfulness, sunlight, exposure to a lot of greenery, and cutting out information overload (like spending too much time on here or watching shit like youtube/twitch all day) would solve 90% of people today's depression, though all the abstract shit like modern culture and politics will still have you somewhat on edge if you can't compartmentalize it properly
>keeps stuff the same>why doesn't anything ever change
>>101571140I had sex but it was a long time ago and i almost forgot what it was like but i remember it feeling much better afterwards than masturbating. Not this miserable feeling of being a fucking loser.

>>101572761everything is coping till death. some coping methods have less downsides overall
Depression doesn't exist in the third world. Curious. It's almost like....
>>101575257Any suggestions? Videogames excluded.
>>101571034Sometimes it's the people you work with that makes you hate work...especially if you're stuck with those same annoying retards 5 days a week for 8 hours straight. Jobs without remote work options shouldn't exist imo.
>>101575334It's almost like they accept that life sucking is the natural way of things. It's also almost like they realize that crying about this to someone who spent enough years in the academy to be called "doctor" is a waste of money. They have less of that to waste than we do.
>>101575334the fuck do you know about the third world, shut your cozy ass up
>>101572580I already have the first three. As much as I think about a relationship I also wonder what that means for my personal hobbies and freedom.

Drugs, TMS, Biofeedback
You probably just lacking vitamin D
I hate myself, and my life is the same. I’m a loser; an embarrassment. I’m ashamed of myself. I will never have a good-paying job that will allow me to live independently. Because of that, I will never have a loving, healthy relationship with anyone. My life is already almost halfway over. Winning the lottery is the only thing that could turn my life around.

how come almost no one suggests books to cure depression, to improve social interactions and so on?
>>101568788Here he is
>>101576664No one here can read
>>101571045heh
>>101568263Is weed technology?
>>101568544I know a guy who always kept his windows closed regardless of the weather.
>>101576664>books to improve social interactionsThose aren't going to work, that is something you should have learned as a child, now you will have to actually go out an socialize and yes you will face your worst fears if you piss someone off. That's the way it is.
>>101576725>go out an socializeI can socialize just fine, but I don't go out that much, and I have trouble talking to women. it's difficult for me to show interest, because I'm shy and insecure, and get nervous af and avoid talking because I don't want to fuck it up.I don't really like talking to people just because though, feels like a waste of time to me. so maybe a book would motivate me to get out of my comfort zone and do random shitmind you, I'm almost 40... might be too late for me to change.
You don't necessarily defeat depression, you learn to manage it. To manage it, you will need to make changes in your life. What those changes are will depend on your circumstances.How is your physical health?How is your emotional health?How is your social life?It would be better if you asked a professional, be that a doctor or a mental health worker. Asking for help is a good start, which is what you've done here.
>>101576775>I have trouble talking to women*to women I like.btw, I'm good looking... but yeah, I suck at talking to women I like.
>>101568263>without changing my lifeOf course the fucking frog poster is incapable of the least bit of effort.
When you talk to women, what do you talk about? How does it make you feel? Do you have any ideas why you feel that way?To get better at it, and more comfortable with it, you'll have to try it more.
>>101576775>I don't really like talking to people just because though, feels like a waste of time to meYou will be talking to them to get sex.

>>101568263>without changing my life?none. if you don't change your life you stay depressed. if you want to change then the most important things are having a clean diet, getting sunlight, exercising and finding a purpose/passion.
