>really like owning and using guns
>also have major depression
i don't really want to sell or give them away but i don't know sometimes

Depression means losing all enjoyment in life, not feeling anxious or sad sometimes.

>>64086937 (OP)
Can you frame this in the form of a question, or was this your whole blog post?

>>64086937 (OP)
I'm gonna respond like you aren't full of shit so please don't make me look even more dumb than I already do.

#1, don't an-hero at any point. Not worth it, plus we all die some day anyway so just be patient.
#2, especially don't an-hero with a gun. If you do then you'll become an anti-gun statistic to wield against gun owners forever. That's not a good way to be remembered is it?
#3, if you are really feeling overwhelmed and unsure if you are safe around your guns, call a family member or friend who understands what you're experiencing and will hold your guns for you until you are ready to get them back.
#3.5, if you don't have someone like that then consider reaching out to a gun store or gunsmith near you and asking if you can store your firearms with them (sometimes for a fee).

Hold My Guns is a nonprofit that helps with this sort of thing too and I highly suggest reaching out.

Good luck bro

Depression is a natural response to living a shitty life with poor prospects.

It is not "a mental disorder" like you catch depression like the flu and need pills for it. It's like a stubbed toe. Your foot hit an object and now it hurts. Except your very being just saw how fucked the world is and now it hurts.

You may be depressed because you can not start a family anymore. Maybe you have noticed that any marriage you enter has a 50% chance of ending in the woman leaving your for a more attractive, wealthier man and still taking alimony for decades. maybe you have become cognizant of the fact that if you had children, the state would raise them, and attempt to revoke your custody of them if you went against the current "good propaganda". perhaps you just noticed that a median income can not afford a home and two of them struggles to support a family.

Well, I have good news for you friend
All of this is only true in "the west" and if you move to asia all your problems will solve themselves

The part about depression being a reaction to the circumstances of your life is mostly true but don't listen to this yellow-fever retard. Moving to Asia won't solve anything, even if you do get a mail order bride she won't really love you and if you ever make the mistake of bringing her back to the states you'll find out exactly how little they care about you the moment the calendar ticks over to the day she doesn't need to stay with your sorry ass anymore. I don't know how people still fall for it

Throwing away your guns won't keep you from killing yourself. If anything it will only make your life even shittier by removing one of the things you like.

Truth. Only real relationships with solid foundations can really blossom. Otherwise you just bought an oddly pricey whore.

>>64087028
This is awful advice, moving to Asia is way more depressing and there are less options to sort it out. At first you'll be giddy about blade runner world but once the lack of acceptance and subjugation of living hits you'll try to kys. Being depressed it seeing things as they really are and getting over it entails realizing you might as well keep going and see if the color comes back to the world. Simple things like smoking cigars or blasting clay pigeons can go a long way to show you that although the world can be joyless and dull, there are still a lot of things that can get you to make it another day.

Since the China virus the whole world is fucked up and getting worse. Cars are full of electronic bullshit, they're fucking with the internet, and Epstein didn't kill himself. We're in an unnatural world and a decent therapist/drugs are an unnatural solution to an unnatural problem so take them if they help even a little bit. Just don't tell anyone you have guns unless you trust them not to throw you in the looney bin. Don't shoot yourself, you might fuck up and beat case you ruin other people's days cleaning up your brains and dealing with your financial bullshit. If you've exhausted all options go up to Alaska and find a nice spot to leave and become food for the animals so you at least get your atoms recycled. I've learned to live with everything feeling distant but shooting and 40k distract me enough to keep going. Also Prozac and Valium dials down the anxiety pretty well.

Happens pretty frequently with these types, people realize they don't actually like permanently living in a country they can't really speak the language of and have little connection to the culture thereof.
Anyway what OP should really do is start taking Vitamin D at 5000 IU or more a day and going on walks around his neighborhood, a large part of his depression is likely just because he doesn't get enough sun.

>>64087028
It's amazing how confidently wrong you are about everything you said.

>>64087047
>she won't really love you
How is that different from any other woman? The only woman who will love you unconditionally if your mother, and that's not even true all that much anymore.

>>64087260
of course a 'depression isn't real' poster would say some shit like this

>>64086937 (OP)
Depression is really just hormonal imbalance, 50% psychological/50% physiological. It's why some people never an-hero themselves no matter how much their life sucks, while other people an-hero themselves despite not having such a bad life.

The good news is that you can feel depression and not an-hero yourself. Find some purpose in life and persist by committing yourself to that purpose. Examples:
>I can't die, my son or daughter needs me.
>I can't die, my pets need me.
>I can't die, I need to be a pro 2A advocate until the NFA is repealed.
>I can't die, there are too many single mothers out there unbeaten and paying rent that's too low.
>etc.

You already said you like owning and using guns but afraid you may use one in bad way.
You like guns, there's your joy. Use that and go balls deep in it. Buy the one you really want no matter the cost.
Get one like a glock, take it apart, learn everything about. Become an expert on it. Practice and shoot alot, become an expert at that. Try reloading, ballistics is a science you could spend a lifetime learning about it.
Just keep your mind busy, keep out the bad thoughts and keep moving forward.

Unironically stop taking SSRIs and you'll feel better.

Ah yes, nobody in Asia kills themselves.

>>64087028
The West is simply ahead of the curve, phenomenon we encounter as part of modernization is something that has/will reach Asia. Japanese and Koreans aren't having as much sex, their women are as or more materialistic, it's fairytale fantasies people have of being isekai'd to another country and all the problems resolving them. The only way you can really escape the modern platonic cave is if you go somewhere much poorer and more primitive then while you trade problems you won't likely be facing the same ones.

That said there is some feeling that China might start to eclipse us in quality of life but that's more that our quality of life is collapsing while theirs is plateauing.

Idle hands devils plaything should become idle brain the devil's plaything, because whenever I am active with some project I start to feel more fulfilled and happy. When people extoll the virtue of 'work', you need to translate that from arbeit macht frei work into 'producing something' kind of work. An autist doing some 5000 page fanfiction of his waifus and fetish is doing work that will bring him joy. My autistically doing modding that few will enjoy and none I will ever interact with may can seem like a waste of time except producing that work makes me happy. Same way some early scientists in medieval times didn't necessarily get some grand value out of cataloguing plants or birds except

Also >>64087476. What worries me is if I'll have nobody to tether me when I am 70, but if there isn't some major changes socially in the 30-40 years until then I Expect there'll be a lot of elderly deaths. I also just remind myself
>Who said you get to live until you're +70?
Since my dad died at 59.

>>64088748
>What worries me is if I'll have nobody to tether me when I am 70
What's there to worry about at that point? If you get sad and cap yourself in your 70s, that's just a normal time to die. And if life still sucks when you're 70, things weren't going to get any better if you lived to 80.
