>>21386071 (OP)
Moonshine

>>21386078

If I do eat it's going to be slop or worse.

You really don't want it. You also barely lose any weight.

>You also barely lose any weight.
wrong

>>21386079
severe grief can make you lose your appetite. otherwise, these people who get emaciated when depressed are anorexics pretending they’re too sad to eat

>>21386071 (OP)
Coffee
>but anon you make cobee everyday!

Last time I was depressed I boiled some ribs in molasses and Guinness.
It was pretty alright. Didn't help my mood but it was easy and tasted good and kept me standing over the stove for about forty five minutes instead of putting my head in it.

when im depressed i dont cook, i order uber to my door

I have a sleeve of oreos dipped in a cup of instant coffee
then I throw it back up

the fuck is that? how it feels to "feel" depressed?

Every meal is a depression meal for me. But I usually just binge on fast food, then pass out in a insulin spiked coma wishing I dont wake up.

Went there and found that post and couldn't stop laughing. Went to her profile and she's fat, depressed, owns houseplants, has a husband that hits her and screams at her that she's been with for over 3 years, and has some unspecified retardation which she thinks gives her a reason for only eating fattening foods. Reading her posts feel like reading notes in a horror game.

>>21386071 (OP)
I squeeze my boyfriends solid pecs then suck out his man essence straight from the source

>>21386216
So, imagine your entire existence is complete and utter suffering and despair. No matter what you do every moment is pure agony. Even something as simple as breathing, eating, and sleeping is torture. There will never be any respite from this hell. You cannot talk to anyone, therapy and medication do not work, and drugs and alcohol just make everything worse. You would rather be off dead.

She didn't have a panic attack she had an excuse.

>>21386216
You're trapped at the bottom of a well and you don't care.
There might be a ladder out of the well but who gives a shit you'll just end up back at the bottom of the well eventually.
You could kill yourself I guess but honestly why bother.
Maybe if you jerk off or eat a candy bar or buy some stupid bullshit or something you'll forget for a single fleeting moment that you're at the bottom of the well.

Nothing.

you should not destroy yourself when depressed. it should be a time for healing. fasting and meditation, not substance abuse.

>>21386071 (OP)

Stage 1 >>21386149
Stage 2 >>21386261
Stage 3 >>21386253
Stage 4 >>21386262
Stage 5: Pic related.
Don't ever reach stage 5. When adaptation sets in, you open the door for all sorts of other mental issues, gain all the benefits of the previous stages, and can never return to normal. Its your stupid prize for thinking you can just tank it instead of dealing with your problems.

>>21386216
Everyone feels depressed. Only recently has it become something that needs to be fixed, that needs therapy and pills. It's only serious if you can't dig yourself out of the hole that's making you depressed, or your depression comes from a mental illness like bipolar.
If someone says they want to kill themselves and describe their depression as being sad, they're not actually depressed. Ever seen someone cry while killing themselves? There is no emotion with depression. Aching, empty nothingness.

How can people be depressed and want to share pictures of their shitty meals. when Im depressed all I want to do is lie down and do nothing.

>>21386216
Depression is like mowing your lawn. You dont particularly like doing it, but you know you have to in order to keep up appearances. You'd rather be anywhere else or doing something productive, but if you don't mow your lawn, not only does the criticism from others come in, but also your own mind ruminates. Putting this off only makes it harder and worse. So, you have a good day and decide to mow your lawn. However, its not good enough. Everyone around you laughs that your lines aren't straight and there are a few dandelions in your front bed. The best part is the knowledge that you will just have to mow your lawn again in a few days. This will repeat until you die.

I made the best brownies I've ever made and my first apple pie the other day. Lattice with an egg wash. It was an ok pie. Shoulda saved myself the trouble and bought a pie.

"depression" isn't real
you're just oversimulated from dopamine due to an infinite barrage of porn and sugar and salt and fat and games and short videos and when you realize that you can't hit those peaks of dopamine anymore you get "stressed"
you're drug addicts

>>21386405
The fact that you dont know how a comma works is making me pretty depressed.

>>21386405
I do loathe these armchair psychologists. I've never suffered from depression, or any other mental affliction. But these sort of cunts are insufferable. I've no doubt that this one here is a secretly twisted pederast. Refute it or don't, we both know very well that I'm correct about you >>21386405

>>21386071 (OP)
Chili, Stew, and Japanese Curry.

When depression is kicking my ass I know I'm going to be in the suck for a few days so I take what little gumption I have and apply it forward. Big pot of something vaguely souplike that is easy to eat, reheat, lasts a while, hearty, and comforting. Even in summer, though I'll tend to do stuff like toss Udon in the curry or tteokbokki in the chili.

>>21386894
I'm going to kill myself soon

check this out bros - if you're "depressed" there are these things called SSRIs that you can take that will make you feel like a superhero. i'm not even kidding you can keep up your alcoholism, porn addiction, isolation, everything, you don't have to change a thing, just take the magic pill once a day and you'll be crushing it

>>21386563
Uhhhh what?

>>21386088
Depends, it manifests in different ways
In the same way a person at that level would drink alcohol, many would just eat food, because good tasting food releases dopamine and gives you a hit, and depending on much carbs/sugars you're eating the metabolization can kind of break the sugar down into alcohols getting you not drunk but feelings of tipsy if on a huge unhealthy binge

Way to let everyone know you don't have a clue what you're talking about
>Alcoholism
Nope, alcohol reduces the effectiveness of SSRIs
>Porn addiction
SSRIs reduce your ability to experience orgasms
>Isolation
SSRIs are only available by prescription, which means you'll have to go to the doctor and the chemist at least to get them
>Everything
The whole reason people are depressed in the first place is usually because they don't have "everything" - conversely, they usually have very little to keep them going on a daily basis
>Just take the magic pill once a day and you'll be crushing it
SSRIs, like most medications, lose their effectiveness over long periods as the body adjusts to their chemistry
It's great how you pseudojocks love to act like you're crusaders of mental health when you obviously know nothing of these struggles, probably because you've lived overly sheltered and privileged lives and you've never had a chance to really experience misfortune or pain in any real capacity

Failed normies have destroyed nerd communities.

How can people eat during panic attacks? I'm glad I don't have them anymore but when i did i lost about 20 pounds every time

>>21387653
I always found the trick to eating during a panic attack is physical exercise
It might be a personal trait but whenever I get back from a jog/walk, I always want to eat
I always assumed it was because of endorphins but I honestly don't have a clue if that's right or not

>>21387663
Exercising was my main way to cope with it. Didn't help with the lack of hunger though.

>>21386473
reddit fag mistook "depressionfoods" for "depressingfoods"

>>21386377
they are depressed for attention, the same type that believe pills and therapy would be a cure (my depression stems from a realistic world view)

>>21387634
Do you include people who say normie instead of normalfag into that?

>>21387671
>my depression stems from a realistic world view
Holy shit, you hit the nail on the head right there
I heard a story a few years back about how they treat depression differently in southeast Asian countries as opposed to the West
In the West, we use pills and medication to alter people's perception of the world around us
But in those countries, they seek to address the main issue that is causing the depression eg. "Are you depressed because you're lonely? We'll buy you a dog for a companion. Are you depressed because you don't have enough money? No problem, the village will all chip in and buy a buffalo so you can harvest more crops and make more cash"
Depression isn't a disease, it's a signal from your brain telling you that you need a change. It shouldn't be disregarded or subdued, it should be heeded and listened to.

>>21387665
Too true. Exercise isn't a cure-all. And it's also a question of physiology too. Not to make any assumptions about your body type but I'm a pretty skinny bastard, even for my age. I think I just have a natural need for calories after exercise because my body has no reserves to work off of.

when you're chronically depressed instead of having a depressive phase, you kinda get used to it and try to do something fun to lift yourself out of it occasionally.

Buy some pants that are 2-6 inches less than your current waistline. Eat healthy until you fit. Keep doing so until they fall off your ass without a belt. Eat some treats until they don't fall off your ass. Repeat with a new pair of pants.

Same. If Im having a panic attack im usually too busy vomiting to eat.

I'm legit autistic but have never eaten dino tendies or happy face fries. Are they really that good?

>>21386078
my depressive episodes give me anorexia or some shit. Feel full constantly so i legit cant swallow food without feeling sick and anything with non-slop/liquid texture is a no go. Takes weeks to go back to normal eating

>>21388386
it's the same as chicken strips, but shaped in dinosaur forms instead of "vague chicken part". Smiley fries do taste somewhat unique. It's structurally the same thing as transformed potato paste fries, but due to the way they're shaped and how they cook, they don't taste exactly like fries. I can't explain it.

It's called romanticization, and while it's certainly a very faggy thing to do, it doesn't disqualify you from being depressed

No it doesn't mean your not depressed. Ill just take you less seriously

>>21386271
Not eating isn't always a great idea long term. For whatever reason I don't get the messages to my brain telling me I'm hungry so if I don't think about it I'll sometimes go days without eating and have some digestive issues because of it.

I had a depressive episode in my early 20s where I went from 210lbs to 140lbs (6'2"). I'd be a fatass if it weren't for depression because I worship food

I have bulimia and it fucking sucks. And people chalk it up to some personal failing when you literally cannot control yourself. They'll tell you:
>lol """""just""""" don't do it """"""just"""""" eat a normal amount lol I don't get it
As if stating the problem is somehow a solution. Normcattle just don't have the theory of mind to understand that the internal experiences of people are not the same.

I don't think you really can "get" it unless you've experienced it.

>>21389058
Can you at least try to explain it?

>>21388828
Yeah like a normal potato croquette

>>21389061
Basically it's just an overwhelming compulsion to eat. You can resist for a while but you can't live without food and you will break eventually. It's not really about the taste or even about feeling full. It could be ice cream or it could be plain chicken breast and white rice. You go well past the point of pain anyways, until you literally can't eat anymore.
And of course after you just fucked up (again), you feel horrible. That plus the physical pain/discomfort makes you want to throw up to relieve the pain and "undo" the mistake a little bit.
Then, of course, you still feel like shit. And guess what you do when you feel like shit?

Anyways, for me it's mostly caused by stress/depression. So at times it's better and at times it's worse. I've tried a lot of things to stop but I've not been able to. Fasting seems to work OK. You're more likely to binge when you do eat, but you obviously can't binge if you aren't eating at all.

>>21389102

It’s not a power, depression is a lot like being sick. You just don’t want to eat nor do you have the energy/interest to prepare something. When I’m really down I don’t eat for days.

wrong
that is chronic depression
most people who have depression just dont feel anything about anything at all no matter what
and even that is on a spectrum of intensity.

Nothing. This sucks.

never had one
i think chocolate "flavored" things are dogshit
if you want chocolate just eat chocolate
chocolate cake/cookies/ice cream/milk, all that shit is disgusting and doesnt taste like chocolate.
also you can tell im telling the truth because i called it a "chocolate cookie" if i knew what an oreo looked like i would have called it an oreo

This advice is appreciated. It took me a long time to realize that depression hits me for a few days at a time at a minimum.

As for me, years ago I forced myself into a habit of eating healthy, but basic and low-effort stuff while depressed. Lightly dressed salad, baked potatoes, grilled sandwiches, onigiri, etc. Absolutely no alcohol. I figured it was the best thing that I could do for myself during an episode so that I didn't come out the other end worse off.

Anyways. Best wishes to those struggling. We'll make it, probably.

I don't remember the last time I was depressed. Or maybe I'm always depressed and can't tell the difference.

Boomer pseud nonsense
Depression is literal chemical imbalances in the brain. Its not a temporary state of being, its a mental condition

People who say theyre "depressed" but dont have depression diagnosed are likely just feeling sad. But normies dont understand the meanings of words

>>21386078
This. When I'm depressed I eat such small portions.

i've never been able to eat big meals and eating is almost never a joyful occasion

sometimes even fresh, hot, palatable meals end up feeling & looking to me like how they make it look in those scam infomercials halfway through eating it then i have to put it away
finishing it later is also an issue since i also have a huge problem eating leftovers. it just feels like the food is tainted and wrong.

i almost never cook for myself and most days will simply ignore my hunger until it's become beyond a problem. then i will climb into my car and drive somewhere with really low blood sugar and order some slop that is nutritionally never what my body needs.

>>21386216
Like nothing. Suddenly nothing is appealing and you dont feel motivation to do anything. All your hobbies? Dropped. Basic hygiene? Dropped.
Its easy to forget to eat and sometimes you sleep all day for days straight just because. The days I was depressed I dont remember crying even once, I was in this state of complete numbness. I ironically cried a lot after healing and mourning all that time of my life that was stolen by depression and that I will never get back.

>depression is like mowing your lawn
Anon, depression is secondary to some actual mental/philosophical shit you have all crossed up if you can't appreciate mowing your lawn - let alone trying to make it analogous to depression. Lawn cutting is tranquil as fuck, there is no better household chore.

yeah i have heard of the recall, havent bought it in a minute but saw a fb post about it a bit ago
i wouldn't consider myself a suicide risk but i'd be lying if i said my brain didnt bring it up ocassionally. of course, when i think like that i just remember the intrusive thoughts go away after a couple days so i just hang in there and chill

>>21386071 (OP)
Actually depressed? Nothing.

Bad day/week/month?
McDonalds for bad day.
Make myself steak au poivre for bad week.
For a bad month or longer? Go out to the quietest place I can find and eat alone. Ideally some Asian restaurant that's open late and likely being used as a front.

If I want to embrace/accept it and sulk? Packet ramen with at most an egg to go with it.

>>21395903
>>everyone keeps calling you fat
Doesn't happen if you aren't fat. Throw yourself into an oil burner fatty.

>>21395903
People aren't born fat, if it didn't work they didn't do it right

I had no breakfast. Ate two peanut butter sandwiches for lunch to ignore the hunger for another six hours, and now I'm having 2 microwaved sausages with fourth slices of white bread like a bun.

Just end me.

I honestly can't recall the last time I've felt depressed. I've felt sad, I've felt angry, but depressed? It's been a while. Thank God I can honestly say that. I may not have much to my name, but I'm at peace with myself.

I don't cook when I'm depressed. I just waste a bunch of money on fast food and prepackaged goyslop and put on twenty pounds. Cooking is only fun when I'm receptive to fun.
