How you cope with depression

RPthrowaway123 · 2014-09-26T00:04:19+00:00

Take it one day at a time. Read a book. Work out. Do things YOU love - for me it was working on the car.

You can make it though this. Depression drags you down, makes you fell helpless. Useless. * PUSH THROUGH IT*! There's so much more to life than women. Go for a hike, climb a mountain, look at all the beauty out there and drink it in!

I believe in you. Many of us started where you are now - I sure did. Now get back in the game, ignore the bullshit, and live an awesome life. The pussy will come on its own!

PM me if you need anything.

Focus on improving yourself. Take a look at everything that will improve your SMV, pick one of them and start working on it.

If you pick being interesting, then learn an instrument, or travel abroad. Do other things. Do something you will enjoy.

You need to begin your journey to becoming a top 20% man and this heartbreak you're going to should motivate you to get your ass up, hit the gym, get social, learn game, etc.

Edging, and lifting all the fucking weights. Build yourself up man. Women aren't the end all be all. Focus on your shit and the rest will fall into place.

Thanks guys. I have just finished Uni, I'm already working in pretty good corporate job. Kinda hoped I'll feel better. Anyway right now I'm running as only excersize. I'm planning to add lifting and/or some martial arts. To improve my mind I'm starting to learn again third language and was thinking about dancing lessons and hobby modeling. Basicly I have some free time, good money to spend and drinking with guys is starting to get boring as hell.

Finding out what caused it to happen -- my depression is cyclical/event triggered. Taking action hasn't fixed it but it is making it less impacting as the years go on. Vitamin D, zinc, and magnesium have done wonders. Your issue may very well be a nutritional one. Psychedlics have done wonders, but it will only help someone that will surrender to whatever they have to show. Exercise is great -- it has to be a daily habit, though. Dont fall out, ever. Depressives have the curse and gift of momentum. Use it or be used.

Some resources that have helped:

RSDTyler on youtube

Elliot Hulse on youtube

Alan Watts: Out of your mind

Way of the Superior Man

Mastery (George Leonard)

-- helped me see where my depression is stemming from

Fire in the Belly

Warrior, King, Magician, Lover

The Way of Men

--Gave me a framework to build a masculine way to see the world and to better understand my mental framework. Something as simple as not actively pursuibg something to master (lack of value-》low self opinion-》subconscious sabotage making me send out the vibe that I'm aberrant-》others "outcast" me-》downward spiral that will build momentum)

Go to a doctor, eliminate all possible physical causes such as low T or thyroid problems.

If you have the energy, lift. However I know well that when you're too depressed it's impossible to do anything. But if you have the energy to do one thing, lift. Better than any other form of exercise for depression, but that's just me.

Some antidepressants can be helpful, but beware of the side effects.

You can also go to /r/nootropics to find some shit that could work for you. 5-HTP, omega-3, vit. D are supplements that can help. Vit D deficiency can be seen on a standard blood screening, and most Europeans have way too little.

Tianeptine (Stablon/Coaxil) is all the rage in /r/nootropics right now, none of the side effects of SSRIs, appears quite safe, can be ordered from the US or obtained from a local pharmacy if your doctor writes you a script.

Maybe you can get some Semax drops from Russia and it works for you.

I've been where you are, but it's TRP that helped me with that too. There's actually a subconscious choice involved in getting into self-pity or depression, and it's possible to make it conscious and choose otherwise, whatever the circumstance. We don't usually do this because we've been taught that we're allowed to be weak, and continue holding hope that being in a weak victim state will trigger others to help us.

When I truly embraced TRP, I realized that as an adult male there would be no help forthcoming to me when I'm in that state. Even those who tell you "men are allowed to be weak" have an automatic aversion to a male who does that, and so there's no use at all in us choosing to accept self-pity into ourselves.

After having this realization, I've every time been able to shrug off these negative emotions, simply by reminding myself that it has utterly no use, it's "be a man or die" time. As with all things TRP though, reading these words won't help you; instead, follow this train of logic in your own mind, and if you understand it, internalize it as part of yourself.

Good luck.
