Redpill me on depression. Is GYM really the best remedy for depression?

>>508151620 (OP)
It's one way. For me it's picking an activity that yields measurable progress. If you go to the gym, it might be muscle building/fat loss. Or getting more money. Basically something you can measure progress towards makes the feel-good chemicals come out.

Nah, you need to find sport you actually like, I mean I like swimming for example and it helps

>>508151620 (OP)
No, marijuana is.

>>508151620 (OP)
Physical activity.
Something to keep your mind off depression (games, mental activity).
Eat right.
I forget the other three... sufficient sleep? socializing?

>>508151620 (OP)
Depends on what's causing your depression. The gym is definitely a proven remedy, but if you can address the root cause of the depression that'd be good. Of course, we don't live in a perfect world and we can't always address the root cause of depression. Gym is way better than drug abuse. Gets the endorphins going and leaves you feeling healthier.

The cure to depression is having meaningful goals, collecting useful skills and creating true value. Doing sports regularly is helping to get healthy and gain confidence. It's like a base line.

Do sprints a couple times a week or at least go for a walk, get WAY more sun, get sugar and sneed oil out of your diet, stop masturbating so much, eat more red meat, stop being a faggot (hard for OP, I know).

where do you swim

yeah if you actually go to it.
Many guys are too faggy to even go more than once a week and then lie to themselves and those around them that it doesn't work

>>508151620 (OP)
no read shit like The Power of Now that is much better at managing depression than trying to "work through it"

>>508151620 (OP)
Do not swallow them pills. If you must, swallow the minimum possible pills
You're welcome

Na. lack of purpose and meaning, and for some people working out and getting in shape can provide that.

There are other ways to give your life meaning and purpose.

Probably most of muslims have families what is the biggest motivator to stay alive. Other groups are mostly incels and cat ladies.

Money is always the best cure for everything

I used to be depressed until I gradually just started saying "fuck it" and stopped caring.

>>508151838
I'm surprised you didn't say hiding underground

>>508152757

>>508151620 (OP)
Literally anything. Have hobbies and stay busy. Do things you are interested in and have a variety in case you get bored

running can be fun
