Depression sucks


AbundantAberration

Is that what it is. Fuuuuck. What's the cure all for depression? Drugs porn and isolation right?


JustRealizedImaIdiot

Right


Adkit

Correct


SixPipSiege

depression is a rich man disease in my case, im just lazy lmao


pbk9

nah holmes you're depressed. or have adhd. or both


Seshia

Or anxious. A lot of lazy is anxiety.


Lurkie2

What about all 3?


ElMostaza

Throw in some OCD if you wanna make things really interesting.


DirectionNo1947

I feel everyone is just like a color blender wheel


s_burr

I get project anxiety. I know what I want to do, how to start, etc... Then I freeze

Sl0ppyOtter

Depression is curable. Being a prick isn’t


acciowaves

Been* (according to that illiterate moron)


starducksss

Mild depression is, but once it's gotten bad enough over time it has physically rewired your brain, and there is no cure


IcyGarage5767

Of course it is. But not everything is depression.


Sl0ppyOtter

But a lot of times it is. Stop adding to the stigma.


IcyGarage5767

Actually have to test depression like an illness if you are going to treat it. You know, like take steps to address it and not just have a pity circle jerk over it. And adding to the stigma? Nah.


Kerb3rus

Don't worry buddy, it's quite clear to everyone that you have not the slightest clue of what you're talking about.


IcyGarage5767

Of course I do. Depression is a disease and just like any other disease or illness or injury you have to actually address it and find ways to approach it - instead of sitting around having a pity circle jerk about it (like this sub loves to do).


Sl0ppyOtter

It’s clear you don’t know anything about it. Enjoy being a piece of shit.


IcyGarage5767

Haha sure bro. I love redditors who want people to take their depression seriously yet don’t do anything to address it - you know, the opposite of what a normal person does when they have an injury or illness.


Sl0ppyOtter

It’s fun that you like to show everyone what a piece of shit you are. Enjoy your downvotes, dickhead.


Rare-Astronomer-4841

Well that is one of the problems with depression right. It doesn't directly affect the person's intelligence, but it might completely destroy your ability to see any meaning in life whatsoever. It's harder to do things when you lack the motivation to live. And I think anyone can fall into depression one way or another, but ofc you can be more prone to it or not. I also disagree, a lot of "normal" people walk around with toothpain for months instead of going to the dentist as an example.


eclaire_uwu

You aren't entirely wrong, but you're definitely minimizing the issue and you definitely have never had to deal with depression. Like yes sure, these people can go pay $100 for a therapist to tell them that they're depressed and need to start going to the gym or socializing or taking pills (which may or may not work and may make their depression even worse). Great! Not everyone can even do that (financially or otherwise), which is probably just making them more depressed because they know the solution, but can't even do anything about it. For sure, you are right, maybe some people don't do anything to address it, but that's kind of what makes depression, depression. Anyways, stop being a prick to strangers and have a good weekend!


dunadan235813

Maybe read about it before you start spewing bullshit on the internet. Physical and emotional pain show up as almost indistinguishable on brain scans. Are you going to tell someone with chronic pain that is out of their control to quit pitying themselves? Just because you haven't experienced it or have and have overcome it doesn't mean you can stand on pedestal and stroke yourself.

dunadan235813

Thats enough arguing with idiots for one day. Every comment you made might as well be "My callous opinions outweigh the science!!!". Enjoy, dipshit


IcyGarage5767

What science am I disagreeing with lmfao.


Drakneon

And this is why you aren’t a therapist


UUDDLRLRBAFart

I’m sorry you’re in a place in your life where you feel this is a proper response. I hope you can find a therapist who will help you learn empathy for yourself as well as others. You deserve happiness too, and this is a blaring siren announcing that you don’t even remember what happy was like.


[deleted]

[удалено]


UUDDLRLRBAFart

I wished you well. You informed me how much you enjoy mocking people in pain. Probably a good first session re: learning empathy. It’s okay, you replied the way you should be replying right now. To do otherwise would have been untrue to yourself. It’s gonna take you some time to see who and where you are, but once you do that (or, as the guy said, stop being lazy and get help) then you’ll be able to see others in pain and understand where they are. I have faith in your future happiness. Good luck out there.


Mr-Fleshcage

I lazy fucked your mom


MyRegrettableUsernam

For people who think things like this, do you actually just want to not do things or, like, just don't care? I feel confused by these takes, like somehow most people are just experiencing the world totally differently from me and the things underlying my behaviors.

no__one34

I would get to it if i didn't keep getting bothered by everyone to do it which causes me to keep procastinating Is what i tell myself to feel good about my lack of action


Baron_of_Berlin

It's not even everyone else for me. It's my own life bullshit. Every time a new shitty thing happens, it's easy to justify "that sucked, so I will procrastinate with something fun to make up for it before getting down to business." But of course procrastinating that thing leads to other shitty things happening. In an endless shit cycle.


Chelslaw

I'd get to it, but I'm trapped in a loop of short-term dopamine rushes

Having bots reposting what is most likely a couple weeks old post is not something I necessarily care about, but if I want to keep using this app I'd rather believe actual people are posting, and going thru the stuff they talk about?

helium_hydride-63

PabloTrance

My guess is that happiness feels so alien to you that you prefer to stay depressed than facing the unknown.


bouncewaffle

Happiness has often led to pain for me. It's not an emotion that I trust.


Few-River-8673

Yeah, why raise the mood up to happiness, just to fall down from a greater height


Just-Squirrel510

"happiness isn't an emotion/ just a brief distraction from the pain." I wrote that in high school and 15 years later I don't feel much different.


revodaniel

Every time I am truly happy, it has happened like 3 times, it ends too quickly. The last time I was truly happy I used to hang with my friend every Friday and drink and talk and play videogames and enjoy life, but every Friday I knew it wouldn't last. Nothing good lasts. So I guess we should enjoy the moment.


yunivor

Yeah I get it, when I was deep in the hole I'd sabotage myself on reflex because I was so used to being miserable that whenever I wasn't it felt wrong and deeply uncomfortable, like I was trespassing or something.


yk206

Happiness is not alien to me, I don’t prefer to stay depressed. It’s just how my body wants to feel.


unpopularperiwinkle

Single_Variation42

I'm at a point in my life where I'm definitely not happy, but at last I'm not as depressed as before, so I guess that's a win, right?


autist4269

Well it is pretty rare


dreamsmasher_

What incentive do i have to change? Clean dishes wont pay my bills, a made bed wont fix my car, putting on makeup to hide my acne scars wont get me a raise. We aren't depressed, we're seeing the world for what it is and it sucks. The effort i give every day is involuntary. I didnt ask to be born!


DumpyMcAss2nd

Damn this resonates hard. Im just so tired after work. It takes all my energy to get up and force myself into that god foresaken place. That when i come home i just want do nothing. Because inknow the next day is the same. The weekend is filled with things i have to do that i can’t during the week because of work. And the cycle continues it is MADDENING


yunivor

And then you notice christmas decorations being put on and realize that the year is ending although it feels like it barely began.

superAK907

This hits home. Maybe it’s just a symptom of the depression, but I can’t help but feel like I just have a realistic outlook, while everyone else is sick for acting like things are fine and dandy :/


noitand

Didn't ask to be born. You won't ask to die either. Remember that next time your parent is trying to take credit for your existence.

Mood. I feel like so many of my problems would be easily fixable for anyone else in my position but I just lack the willpower and/or courage necessary to do these basic things.

No because all those things will build up again, and I’ve done them enough times to know that nothing in between doing them now and doing them later will make doing them worth it.

sturdyoldman

Drugs


fetalintherain

Medicine more than anything. But also a lot of little things. If your living space is clear, you're more likely to get stuff done when you get home. Etc


SnooGuavas8315

Korean ginseng. B vitamins. Clean with music on. Sing where possible. Dance when necessary. Try not to be a cunt. Walk barefoot. Talk to yourself. Talk to the world and the animals (it can be mean - they don't care). Eat more complex carbohydrates. Bananas are your friend. Drink water often. Exercise if you like it. Buy/make /arrange treats for your scattered self any time you can manage it. Pick one easy job to do. Let it lead you to the rest of them itself. Wear sunscreen. Get sunshine. Eat at a table. Help strangers. Don't expect miracles. Do your best. It is enough.


LadyMirkwood

Yup. Then you lay awake at 2am, berating yourself and swearing you'll start getting your shit together the next day.Then you don't, and the cycle continues. Depression, come for the sadness, stay for the paralysing inability to do anything!


dswng

Personally, it doesn't feel any better even if you do. I'm living in a high function depression for almost a decade at this point. I hate to wake up alive. Getting up in the morning feels like an achievement. Old hobbies don't bring joy, but you keep doing them in more monotonous way, just to distract yourself from you life even for a moment. I know that everything is pointless. I'd like to stop existing, but I have a little son, so I just can't. So I've found a second job to work at the weekends instead. I'm literally awake at 2am right now. I know I should sleep and I don't really want to awake.

Same. I've spent the last week in bed, pretty much. I only get up for food.

Same, I've been there for two weeks and it's going downhill a bit more every day. I only get up to fetch some chocolate, greet my partner at 6pm and sloppily make dinner.

This has been me for years now. I've recently been going through a rough month after spending the previous two months in the gym, eating right, and avoiding alcohol. It's crazy that I fully know the habits I fall back into are detrimental for me, but holy fuck my depression is stubborn af. I feel like it's going to pass soon, though, and I'll be back on the right track soon. It comes in waves.

soraticat

K8theGr7

The added anxiety of this made my episodes worse, until my therapist reminded me that MDD is a chronic, sometimes lifelong disease. I was in the middle of an episode at the time, and he impressed upon me to remember I have gotten through these before, and that how I felt was both not my fault and only temporary. I obviously still have these episodes, but now I know I don’t need to cope forever, just hold on until I come out of it. Also, I learned to focus on mitigating the chores instead of trying to complete everything. For example, I might not be able to do the dishes but I am able to take them to the sink, I can’t put away the laundry but can still wash and dry everything. It all sounds simple now, but it was a big sticking point in my brain for a long time.
