/dep/ - Depression

This thread is word-for-word what someone would write if they were an anti-male troll who takes pleasure in keeping potentially happy men down in the dumps forever.

Potentially happy man are not on the spiral and should by all means get the fuck out of this thread, just like feminists like you (hopefully you're not thought).

How can people speak about happiness is beyond me. What is this, even? What the hell is your happiness?

I'm going to assume that you're ESL and don't actually know what 'feminist' means.

>>306377
Why though?

well i think i tried every piece of advice out there and nothing works, so yeah maybe that's just that.

The only thing that improved my mental health is improving my physical health.
It wasn't a magic bullet, but it's a night and day difference.
Action really should be above all. Thoughts aren't all that important.

>it's only downwards from that point on.
If you are fit with no physical ailments that can be fixed then true. Otherwise fix your body, lose weight, get your teeth fixed, make sure no inflammation is present in your body.
Eat well, no sugar, vitamin D, fresh air and sunlight.

These are such normie memes, but literally the only things that helped.
I couldn't think away toothache or herniated discs or heart issues or a fatty liver. All you do is think think think think. Pointless.
I fucking hate myself for being a mid-wit retard wish I was like 95IQ or something instead.

This

Happiness is not of this world, it doesn't exist in any shape under the sun, we're in constant need may it be hunger or shelter from elements our body is never satisfied our mind is never at peace not even during sleep and whatever you do death will take you

psychiatric medication will ruin your life
people like to kick those who already are down

To be fair, the people saying this are usually just young. I used to be one of these optimistic dudes that saw mental health as like a self-improvement puzzle. Like, if you just figured out how it all works and connects, then you gain control over it and you get to be a normal adult, perhaps even happy. Well, after reading the entire psychotherapeutic canon, I realized it was all bullshit and that mental illness can only get worse. I even went beyond the field into ancient traditions, woo-woo mysticism, all that esoteric crap, thinking that they might have the answer. Nope!

Now at 28, I stand defeated. I realized that suicide is truly the only answer. When you get dealt a bad hand, you should just quit and minimize your suffering. Honestly, I regret not going for the rope sooner, but when you're young, you don't know what you don't know, you have stupid amounts of hope, you can believe it gets better but at some point, the truth is undeniable. Like, you just collect so much evidence that you can't even create some power fantasy where it all works out somehow. Yes, in the end, dying seems like the only choice, all paths lead to roping. Further life can only bring more humiliations, new and unique pains that you've yet to experience.

Yeah metal health is basically outside conscious control. What really scares me is the intellect. When doing something, I often notice some mistakes post factum. It makes me so fucking scared, because I never notice them while working. This means that no matter how much you're rationalizing something, most likely it's all a delusion and you are incapable of knowing it in the moment. You can only potentially know your mistake in future, and that's not a guarantee either. How the fuck am I supposed to be "accountable" for my own happiness, as normies put it, when I have so little control over my psyche? When I have nothing in my head that I could consider reliable? What the fuck am I, even? I feel like a pattern recognition pattern reproduction machine. It's so fucking unfair that normies are allowed to feel ok and I'm not.

>you can believe it gets better
"Someday" for sure. Unfortunately that someday has come and my situation is worse than it was.
What a life…
