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.

Don't drink or use drugs
Get at least 8 hours of sleep every night
Get a job, preferably one that doesn't make you want to rope
Eat a quality diet heavy in meat, dairy, vegetables, and unprocessed whole grains. Try and purchase high quality meats from local farms and not standard supermarket stuff, but any meat is better than none.

Get 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.

Do 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.

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

It'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.

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.

Those 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 socialize
I 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 shit
mind 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

btw, I'm good looking... but yeah, I suck at talking to women I like.

>without changing my life
Of 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.

>I don't really like talking to people just because though, feels like a waste of time to me
You will be talking to them to get sex.

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.
