Do alpha men experience depression and anxiety?

I recognize that there is something called "anxiety" that other people have, but what I have found is, once you have come to terms with your own mortality, whatever "fear" you have falls away.

"With the end of the fear of death, begins the death of fear."

Of course. In the end we're all humans with problems in real life

Sometimes those problems could overwhelm you

Sometimes you could get health issues

Everyone thinks they're tough until they have health problems

Although I've seen that alpha men experience less depression because of the high testosterone, some argumentative points such as "depression is caused because of low T" are made in the Manosphere, we're humans, and nothing is more human than to feel sad

Noone's life is perfect

Marijuana causes an anxiety reaction in a surprisingly high percentage of the population. True fact.

Yes severe depression runs in my family. The thing thats helped me the most is, 1. Like vas said, remember your going to die, so why fear whats going on in your head. Basically confront it, dont push it away. 2. Learn to enjoy feeling depressed/anxious, I know it sounds weird as fuck but it works, its all in your head.

I used to love smoking weed, then fucking!

I haven't touched weed in two years now, as all the last times (leading up to when I fully stopped) I was copping major anxiety, schizophrenia and ugly thoughts.

You might be onto something, as once you're open/awoke to all the pre programming you used to adhere to.
It can mess with you, when inebriated in those states.

I ain't ever had any anxiety or depression when I'm about to PR a lift. You get anxiety from bud cause you smoked too much. Wrap.

Ofc there are depression / anxiety exist in atleast 10 percent of the population

However there remains a key difference and that is in perspective.

A blue pill will be depressed or anxious/ he will go to Foreveralone subreddit and begin talking about how his life is doomed and nothing is in his control and how everything sucks because hes at a handicap

A red pill would go to a doctor discuss therapies (meds and CBT) identify which combination suits him best, make an honest effort of atleast 9 months to stabilise mood and try their best to do what they can to ensure that any mood disorders are at bay - lifting included
