22 years depression is just about overcome for me. Fuck that feels good to write.

Follow everything the red pill advices. Lift, eat right, meditate, learn about yourself and how the world works. But be aware it can be a painfully slow process.

My journey out of depression started with counseling around 5 years ago. I was a depressed and functional drug addict. Around 3 years ago discovered the trp, I was to cinical to be as blue pulled as a lot of new comers here seem to be. But did effectively need a father like figure or symbol to give me a kick up the ass occasionally. Thanks TRP. Started lifting and meditation 2 years ago and haven't looked back.

My journey out of depression was long. But I still feel like I'm at the start of my (whole life) journey now. I've still got a shit load to improve, but that's a positive to me now.

Good luck and never give up

I haven't conquered depression yet myself, but I can tell you what has helped me: meditation and working on my goals. From what I read, it doesn't sound like you have time for yourself: try to find it and work on your hobby or profession. That is if you know what you want from your future... If you don't, then start working on that. I think TRP is useless without a focus on self-actualization.

Prozac. Hate to say it, but it helped me out of depression. I’m happy as shit when I’m on it. I haven’t been on it for a few years now, don’t need it now but it did help me get out of depression in high school.

I so didn’t want to go to college, but glad I did. I thought it would be like high school II and I couldn’t stand the idea of that. It was nothing like high school. I blossomed in college, as I think many people do. The first semester can be tough because of all the change, but you finally start to become an adult and figure out where you’re going in life. And the judgey Insecure high school crap goes away.

I actually now want to go back to college to do grad school, but probably in another country. A lot of countries offer grad schools in English and are practically free. At first, moving to another country can cause a flareup in depression. I know that because I’ve experienced it, But I still wouldn’t give up the experience of living overseas. I will simply ask my physician there to prescribed Prozac if that happens. No need to go through a bunch of Gyrations at all, just ask a physician. Depression is so common place these days, that they hand them out freely. And you don’t need to be on it forever. It just helps you get through the low times.

Talk to your doctor, and a professional counselor.

Depression is very treatable, but without treatment it inevitably gets worse.

I first tried to kill myself in first grade. I just got better at age 40. I've crossed the earth, digested thousands of books, failed at dozens of relationships and jobs. It took a lot to get better. The pills I tried did not cut it. You have to answer questions within yourself and take a big journey and fail so much until you reach a point you can no longer fail. You must desire maximum fail. I wanted to kill myself so badly all along the way, even when I was living it up in exotic places and had pussy on tap. I am glad I toughed it out. Here I am today, happy about being here after all those lost decades. You've got to do the legwork though because if you do kill yourself, well someone else is going to bang the girls you would have banged had you beaten your curse.

Try to stay busy, focused on something else.
