Depressed?

Depression is purely perspective, I conquered it (any depressed person will give me shit for saying something like that. But fuck anyone trying to step on my self-esteem.)

Had it for 15+ years, I know damn well I had depression, multiple suicide attempts and I did used to take medication.

I'm no longer on medication, I have no therapist or anything I don't talk about my problems to anyone anymore. Coping is not a solution, and by putting yourself under the perspective that it's inescapable just makes it worse.

Have you ever heard of the placebo effect? Think of the opposite of that, and that's depression. You warp your brain into convincing yourself of all this negativity, which places an effect on your brain to help support your negative beliefs.

If you can convince someone they're not sick, then you can convince someone that they're miserable just from them feeling miserable.

Depression is perspective, and I doubt anyone can conquer it by being on meds & taking therapy.

TRP likely saved many people from suicide by changing their perspective, but another thing you need to do is change your environment.

That means drop everything that could even remotely contribute to your depression.

I abandoned every friend I had, my family, job, hobbies to get over depression. Changed my entire lifestyle. I was miserable the first year of doing this, but everything started kicking in and I slowly changed.

Your body realizes it's pointless to keep sending you these negative signals and will learn to adapt to the new lifestyle, it doesn't benefit you to feel down, when you are going to get up and go to work regardless of how you feel, as your body realizes you'll act based on what needs to be done and not how you feel then it'll "give up" pretty much.

It's not something I can explain in a comment, but all I can say is the treatment out there is BULLSHIT.

IF you been depressed for 15 years like I had, doing the right things won't immediately give you positive results, you can't replace 15 years of negativity with 1 month of positivity, sometimes not even 1 year. There is a solution to depression, it's just its affect takes time & willpower.

You're medical system won't do shit for you.

Unless you're Manic, only you can control your depression.

My medicine is composed of whisky and escorts.

I have been depressed, gone to therapy but refused to take anti-depressants. I'm not a doctor and this answer might have too much "bro-science" but try getting testosterone replacement therapy. Essentially it will produce the shit that makes you a man.

this should be in ask TRP. Anyways lots of us I would assume. I've been depressed for most of my adult life, I think. It's not diagnosed, but I've always thought about killing myself, and I'm sure other people enjoy things more than I do. Anyways I don't take medication because I'm not really for it, but maybe for some people it's a good idea.

What does this have to do with anything even remotely RP? You don't say anything about a solution to your problem (Do you lift?), you're not adding anything of value to any discussion here.

This seems like more of a "come join my club so I'm not alone anymore" thread.
