Anybody have real depression here ?

[Deleted member 9989]

This site has been a blessing for me because I got to let it all out and always found support and useful advice without platitudes from people who think alike.

I'm still on my way to be better but there's no comparison with the emotional mess I used to be 1 year ago.

I can relate mate. We are all in the same boat here and on the good direction. It’s the best place I can found tbh. Looks are everything and we have the luck to know this now

I think I was depressed in middle school and high school. For five years I was so desperate and resigned that I thought the rest of my life would be like this. I was often full of anger and bitterness towards the world and felt like I was fighting everyone. I felt forced out of the system and seen as an unwanted intruder. I felt that I didn't belong anywhere. I had no friends and no companions. Everything changed when I got this interesting thought. This thought had occurred to me from time to time only to be cast down as absurd and unreasonable, but suddenly it became stronger until finally I could no longer deny it. "I will wait for my life to change and only then will my attitude change," had been my previous thought. But I had tried for years and failed. I asked myself, "what if I try to reverse my way of thinking, and see if my life changes?"

A mix of research and common sense improved my understanding of what exactly depression was. I believe that some of the research I've read about how neurons shape pathways in the brain cleared the whole thing for me. I read that your brain cells form information pathways in your brain. We know the more rats take a certain path through a maze, the clearer that path becomes and the more likely that future rats will follow the same path. The more your mind will follow a certain path, the more connections neurons will strengthen, execute, and form on that path. It will be easier for your mind to tread this new path in the future. So I concluded that negative, depressive, and fatalistic thought patterns are nothing more than a pattern in your brain that is deeply embedded due to overuse.

It only becomes a standard pattern of your mind because the path of least resistance is the most-followed path and for the depressed and the depraved theirs are the path of destruction and fatalism. Once you understand this, you will know what to do. You have to change your mindset. I had to start taking control of my conscious thought process. At the time, I felt that my time was running out and I realized that there was no man other than me who would save my own life.

With this theory, I decided to make the necessary changes in my life. And I think these changes helped me overcame my depression.

The simple one: every time I have negative thoughts such as "the world is against me," I break that pattern. After all, the brain is tied to patterns and routines. It's hard to break the belief system and change it, but that makes a lot of sense. I realized that these negative thoughts made my stomach ache. I started paying attention to them and found that I got plenty of them. I sit there all day obsessed with all the terrible things that I don't like. "Is this my time?" I realized, "Just sitting here and indulging in negative things won't improve my life." It's a matter of attitude. So I did the only thing I could think about: I started looking at my own thoughts, and now every time I realize I have a negative thought pattern, I just reply in my head, "Stop!" All of the negative thoughts will calm down. If they come back I will do it again. I do this as often as necessary to end them. When negative thoughts enter your mind, you need to be aware of them. This is the key step. If you have a negative thought, destroy it with the cruelty of a wild crocodile biting its prey. You can use this technique to get rid of any negative thinking pattern.

And to build on what I wrote above, whether you're lifting weights, studying for your exam, or talking to a woman, it's very hard to think and feel bad about yourself when you're in action. When you're sitting still with nothing to do and just waiting for something to happen, all the bad thoughts can sneak in and take over. If you want fewer bad thoughts, it's a good idea to spend more time in action instead of sitting idle, doing nothing.

This is important and TRUE. It's all about the MINDSET. No matter how fucked your situation may be, wallowing in negative thoughts isn't gonna change ANYTHING except for the worse. We all know this, but that's the thing, repeat it to remind yourself. Have a strong mindset and force yourself to do(and think) things that are good for you. Eventually you won't have to force yourself all the time. You have one life, are you gonna be a bitch to some negatively loaded neurons? Fuck that

I'm misanthropic because I hate a lot of callous and evil modern human nature and I think this world is full of garbage. I'm still optimistic though and I love this world too and people have a lot of good in them
