Rage..pure unfiltered rage. Be angry about absolutely everything and everyone. Live and improve yourself daily to spite your real and imaginary enemies. It is not important if they even know you exist. They are the enemy. Find something to hate every single day.

>>512178845 (OP)
Exercise! Seriously. Lack of physical activity is one of the main reasons for depressions. People didn't have this when they were still fighting for survival every day. It's a symptom of our modern decadent lifestyle.

>>512178845 (OP)
Depends on the cause and if it’s depression at all. Depression is a dopamine disorder and it is often confused with shit like cluster B personality disorders.

>>512178845 (OP)
are you getting enough vitamin D? I dont mean dick or anything weird like that i mean actual vitamin D from a lot of sun or vitamins

I took accountability for my actions. My depression was caused by choices. I realized that my decisions have consequences. I focused on what I could control/change/improve for the better and tried not to worry about the rest. I take it one day at a time, and I take small steps. I challenge myself, set small goals and work towards them. You have to be realistic and you must keep it simple. It will not change overnight. It takes a lot of time working hard and consistently. This leads to routine and discipline and I keep evaluating myself and refine the process as I go. Mental, physical, spiritual. I strive to improve all of those and be the best I can be. Find activites that improve these areas and don't be too hard on yourself. Give yourself some grace and become someone you are proud of.

>>512178845 (OP)
I read Hippocrates and De Materia Medica by Dioscorides, and in these ancient texts I learned that depression is caused by a sluggish digestive system. I also learned which herbs to take to cure this issue. I followed their advice and the depression lifted. Also I lost weight and my skin got clearer.
Picrel also works

If you are serious about this, you would do the following. ( You aren't, so you won't )
But jic, I will type it out anyway to try and help anyone reading this who is miserable with depression and suicidal ideation.
Stop eating gluten cold turkey for no less than 4 weeks straight. On the end of the 4th week, gorge yourself on gluten. If you get ill after reintroducing gluten back into your diet, then that means your
" depression " was caused by your gluten filled diet and as long as you never eat any gluten again, you will be cured.

>>512178845 (OP)
Stopped drinking, explored spirituality and philosophy, stopped trying to force myself into being something I'm not.

>>512179332
There's no gluten in cold turkey, silly.

A huge milestone that lets you know you're in a much better place is when that cute blonde girl at the gym shows you her butthole, and the chads at the gym start to respect you.

>>512178845 (OP)
Not something you necessarily "cure" It's not a disease. It's your dissatisfaction with your life, and problems you aren't dealing with, or refuse to deal with. Dig deep and make a decision about what you want to do with your life, and how to kick your issues.

I’m not sure what you expect. “Depression” is usually a symptom of your situation. Nobody is born depressed, they become that way. Your life is obviously in disorder and it’s making you unhappy and causing you stress. This is labelled “depression”, but it’s all bullshit. You should look into going to church, find some meaning to your life. And make sure you aren’t repeating the same mistakes over and over again. I’m sorry but the normie answers are correct - until you actually do something to change your life you will hate your life and be unhappy. Bizarrely, it’s sometimes the stuff we most do not want to do that actually will improve our mental health.

>>512178845 (OP)
Realize nothing matters and enjoy the moment. I could get gunned down tomorrow because I said “Israel is gay”, but who gives a fuck.

>>512179260
That’s debunked. Depression is not a “dopamine disorder” is just an undefined term for prolonged unhappiness. It no longer has a definition in brain chemistry as they found that to be all garbage.

>>512178845 (OP)
Almost assuredly diet related and physical activity related. Do NOT try to fix this with anti depressants.

Magnesium and zinc deficiencies are prevalent. For vitamin D, don't take pills. Instead get natural sunlight. If you live in a colder climate look into a sperti vit d sunlamp.

Look into low vitamin A diet. This will resolve many common health problems.

Get into a sport or go to the gym for exercise. Natural dopamine and a sense of accomplishment. Will lead to greater confidence and the allow you to meet new people.

Look into (Orthodox) Christianity. This will give you a sense of spiritual purpose and again allow you to meet new people.

Trust me you can cure your depression coming from someone who has been there.

>>512179491
>Depression isn't something you cure.


False. Totally false. See>>512179332

I stopped caring about my feelings. I still feel just as bad about everything, but I don't care, so I don't let it effect me.

>>512179330
Good post. I struggled for years with it and tried all the normal lifestyle advice plus various antidepressants. Nothing helped. Took a food allergy panel and turns out my body was rejecting all this supposedly healthy food like whole grains and dairy. Cut all that shit out and within a month I felt better than I had in years. Continued improve over the course of a year or two. Turns out the Greeks were right and gut health is really important for everything. I never even had stomach/gi issues so I was caught totally off guard…

>>512178845 (OP)
Unironically working out releases hormones that make you not depressed, you're just too much of a fat faggot to do it.

Also, realize that there will always be hard times in life. Its not fair, and its not easy. You'll get stronger overtime and it will get easier to deal with it. I recommend you play Dark Souls 3. That game can teach you a lot about these very basic, but necessary skills to deal with life. It'll kick your ass at first, but it can be very rewarding if you stick with it. That's life.

>>512179682
Punishing yourself with some strict diet will cause more depression. Just eat sensibly. It’s absolute nonsense that “depression” comes about because you ate the wrong foods. Depression is a spiritual condition where you are feeling very small and pathetic. It’s just a state of mind it has very little to do with diet.

>>512178845 (OP)

TRT and lifting is more effective than every antidepressant I have tried. I have tried all of them, including ketamine, mushrooms, and electroshock. Only exercise and TRT helps.

Mushrooms, around 5-8g eaten e dry 3-10 weeks.
Antidepressants only gave me side effects, or, total numbness. Waste of my time. I find periodic dosing of natural psychedelics to be my best and most effective option - I’ll gladly take my current 3-5 days of depression per season, compared to my old average 30-60+ days per season.
There are great natural fixes out there. Just be ready to possibly puke in your front lawn as I did this past weekend, kek

Dark Souls 3 was my first souls game, so it was the most impactful for me. Any of them will suffice.

You do not know what you are talking about. You are just spouting illogical nonsense opinions based on nothing. Maybe based on how what you're saying makes you feel like, or something. Your opinion on this subject is trash.

humans are like plants
you need water
sunlight
and soil

dig a small hole
and water, mix up some mud
stick your feet in the mud
while you get sunlight for 30-60 minutes

70% of your body's energy does not come from food, it comes from the sun, earth, and water.

try it. it will change your life

I skipped the exercise and just drastically changed my diet. Stopped eating processed shit. I eat 3 meals per day, 500-600 calories per meal and lots of veggies and protein, all homemade from scratch and I only cook with olive and avocado oil. It’s amazing what good nutrition does for your mental health.

>>512178845 (OP)
depression is physiological. get more sun, more exercise, proper nutrients, less toxin exposure (mainly stop eating anything toxic), drink more water, everything else that is "good" for you and it goes away unless your chronically ill. if you are chronically ill and can't heal the illness you will always be depressed because its physiological. really hard for a peak healthy person to be depressed.

Getting away from non-whites cures depression. White communities are much more wholesome, and there is actual human connection. Non-whites are selfish and soulless. I'm actually proud of being around a bunch of good white people.

No wonder you guys are all depressed

Keep track of depression in a notebook, maybe a score out of 10, every day, plus any thoughts about life.
After a while you might find the score goes up and down- notice what makes the score go down.

>>512180207
If you belong to a church you do not belong to God. Jesus said all churches are corrupt, you don't nee a priest, pray in your closet, pray directly to the father and he will respond to you directly

especially do not go near any church that performs satanic rituals every week, drinking Jesus' blood, and eating Jesus' flesh, or worshiping the cross that the romans used to kill Jesus... he really doesn't like those sick pedophiles.

The only thing that helped me was randomly finding a Filipina girlfriend that lives in Japan on Reddit. We've been together for about a year now. Before that, I experienced a level of depression that I hope nobody else has to experience. I was a severe hikikomori (hermit/recluse) for 22 freaking years from the age of 17 to 39. I legit only left my house a handful of times during that entire time. I even avoided interacting with people anonymously online because I was so self-conscious about my appearance, my voice, and my hellish and nightmarish life in general. Both my heart and my mind felt like black holes that were constantly oozing pain and suffering. All I could think about was dying for 2+ decades. I have no idea how I survived that, besides being a coward that was afraid of death. I never thought I'd experience mere contentment again, let alone actual happiness. I was abandoned by everyone. And then she came into my life like a real life angel and saved me from the abyss.

>OP is just a weak bitch
do you know that is a sin?

Matthew 5:22 KJV
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

"Raca" is a term of contempt or derision, derived from Aramaic, meaning "worthless" "empty-headed" or "foolish"

>How did you guys cure depression?
Stop lying to yourself or believing the lies of others and doing things you hate. It distorts your reality and makes you think you are losing and can not win a game you did not know you were even suppose to play. I will give you the key, because I have the key, I have the secret. I have the key to a better way: The most important thing in your life will be your relationship to the immaterial. Don't know what that means? Good, go figure it out and trust me that you will have wished you started sooner. There have been many wise people who have tried to overcome the world, one claimed to have done it at the greatest expense and that serves as good guidepost. He also said that if the world hates you, it hated Him too. So if you feel like you are fucked, well, you are in good company. Try to find joy through truth and goodness instead of searching through the garbage of lies and parasitic actions.

Jesus never called Simon "Peter"
you might want to rethink your position
catholics are liars.

When Jesus met Simon he said "Thou art Cephas"

The romans who killed Jesus didn't speak Aramaic like Jesus did, and they are obsesses with dicks, so they changed the name to Peter.
What Jesus really said while standing on a rock, on the mount of olives was "On this rock I will build my temple"
Never once did Jesus tell anyone to go and kill, and enslave, and build a million churches to collect taxes for him. All of that is roman cult. Jesus' ministry was on foot.


I hope this information helps you.

>>512181705
I'm not Catholic. I am Orthodox. Who are we killing and enslaving?

The name is an irrelevant point here. Not sure where you are getting temple from. Translations I've seen refer to church or assembly. I suspect you're just ass pulling here based on your own interpretation.

Also didn't address anything I asked, as expected.
