How To Win

Raygar21 · 2019-09-18T19:51:38+00:00

I suffered debilitating depression twice in life. Deep suicidal can't do anything for days, dark clouds following me everywhere kind of depression. Both times to do with situation involving women. I relied on junk food, alcohol, drugs to self medicate. Even did the SSRI's and therapy. I've found through hard experience that junk food, alcohol, drugs legal and otherwise, can screw with your mood until you see no way out. For me, life looked completely different when I changed these bad coping habits. And then of course got out of the shit situations.

Btw I like that the cartoon dummy looks like he's stuffed with fries.

You’re doing a giant disservice to everybody that reads this.

Telling a person with depression that they “just need to stop being sad!” is at best incredibly naive, and at worst is a gigantic asshole move that will do nothing but harm people with a crippling medical condition.

I see a bit of where you’re coming from - just like somebody with a broken leg needs to contribute and do physical therapy to get healthy, a depressed person has to work to get better. But, based on your comments and responses, I suspect that you’re a fairly emotionally immature person and that nothing anybody says will change your mind.

This is not for OP, he’s likely lost, but for anybody reading this. Your depression isn’t self-induced by a desire to stay in bed and eat junk food. Anybody that tells you that is a snake oil salesman or malicious. You have a medical problem, and one of (but not exclusively) the steps you need to get better is to seek professional help.

Love this shit. Too many people sit inside all day eating shitty food getting fatter wondering why they're unhappy. It's cause they're fucking fat. If you step on a Lego barefoot your body sends a signal to the brain indicating pain. If you're fat as most Americans are these days and depressed it's a signal from your body to your brain saying this sucks fix it. Too many people in here getting mad because they're still on the bluepill about depression. The same people telling you to work a shitty 9-5 to support a fat wife calling your racist all day are the same people telling you to take a pill for your depression. They also tell you not to be angry. You know why they do that? Because angry men fight back

Man I thought MGTOW had more maturity than that. One guy has a unpopular view and people attack him. Just like how those cucks attack you when you say something unpopular on their r/immacuck.

Woke but not woke enough to handle a opposing viewpoints without getting mad.

That's not depression. That's being sad about your dog dying or something. Genuine depression is an actual medical condition with biological causes, not just "feeling down" or something that can be "gotten over" by "Manning up" "Having a better attitude" or whatever other fucking stupid platitudes people that want to conflate legitimate mental illness with life's normal ups and downs would like to tell you.

Stupid cartoon, stupid cartoonist and stupid poster.

I had three years of my life where i didnt feel like doing nothing, i just stopped in time and even though i wanted to get out of that shit situation i couldnt because i had no motivation to do anything, imagine a 20 years guy doing nothing day after day and being maintained by his parents.

I know that situation is so hard to get through but in the end i learned that mindset plays a big role in getting over it. Every fucking day, no matter how sad i was or in disbelief in myself in the end i knew i was gonna get over it.

I have never seen someone say this but i developed a mentality that helped me get over depression, i started to voluntary do things that would make me suffer the most, if i could not be happy in life so i just wanted to feel the hell.

Day after day i started to look for things that were way out of my comfort zone to be put in shit situations just for the sake of it. Slowly i started to develop goals, discipline and dreams that i never had.

I learnt that instead of looking for the end goals, we should learn to enjoy the process and the bad things that come with it and then we can enjoy life much better.

If i just kept that mentality of wanting to get over it, or if i had given up i would probably still be miserable. Make your life a hell, do any other shit but NEVER play the victim dont matter how hard the situation is, this victim mindset of "theres nothing i can do, its over" is so self destructive and will snowball things out of control.

Also attaching myself to the philosophy of MGTOW helped me insanely.

I have no idea if it was clinical depression or not because i never sought for help, but it taught me that mindset plays a very important factor in everything we do (It might sound obvious but many people just think about it when they are facing extreme situations)

Some of the ignorance being spouted on this thread is utterly infuriating. I'd probably get banned if I typed what I want to right now.

All these people self proclaiming they were "depressed" but thought positive and won through in the end. I'm all for positive thinking and improving yourself but let's be honest, for 95% of people posting here, you did not have clinical depression. Just because you got dumped, lost your job, or you were a problem teenager or young 20 something who sat in their mum's basement feeling like shit with no motivation, and eating shit, playing video games, does not mean you have depression. Depression isn't grief, sadness or lack of motivation. You can absolutely get stuck in a horrible and destructive cycle with your life going seemingly nowhere. It still doesn't mean you have depression.
