Why do you think you're depressed?

Do you think it's mere chemical imbalance in the brain or caused by cerfain life circumstances? With me, I believe my depression was caused by perpetual loneliness

Drugs effectively prove that it's chemical. You aren't going to be depressed despite the right chemical intervention. That being said a change in life circumstance can allieviate great mental burdens not having cortisol pump through you all the time.

Idk, I've done it all, the whole book. Workout, hobbies, socialise, etc. Last option were meds, got them, only thing they did was kill my libido for a month, and stopped.
My biggest fear was running out of options, thinking that when it happened, it would be truly over. But it gave me a weird sense of relief. And also around the time (don't know if related to running out of options desu) I stopped hating myself, and concluded that I'm fine and that normies are in the wrong. Now I know how this sounds, but my source of self loathing has always been being self conscious about shit I shouldn't be conscious about.

So now I would say my head is "sorted out" I guess (maybe I have my shit together?). Still wanna an hero most days, and feel creeping loneliness, but I'm getting by just fine and I've accepted that I'll probably feel like shit for the rest of my life, that it is simply how I am (intrinsic property of the self). That some people have the property of feeling like shit, and some don't.

Depression is a sane reaction a percentage of the population displays to our insane world.

The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

So what's the logical thing a human would do if every time they ever tried their hardest in their life they still failed? Stop trying. Stop even having the mental capabilities to try.

im at the bitter end right now myself. 31, I developed MS and its been getting worse rapidly. Lost my job and had to get a work from home job only to realize the job is rigged against white people (i know sounds insane) but in order to pass the transition you have to get a really low handle time that can only be achieved if you get hung up on every other call which is only possible if you have a hard to understand accent so im gonna lose that job and basically become homeless in a few weeks which is a death sentence with MS. Ever since I got MS everyone has really kept their distance from me except my mother who checks in on me once a month. Currently planning to drive an old motorcycle that I have deep into the woods like 10 miles from anything and do bag over head connected to bike exhaust before Im completely unable to walk. sometimes life just works against us in every way possible.

no sex and no money

yea if you have sex and money out of the gate because you had a supportive family you can live your life like a pig in shit.

This. The most effective treatment for depression is physical activity. If you just get your heart rate up you will most likely cure your depression.

One month break from social media will bring you back to a sane world. I like going out with my friends to bars and concerts.

I am tired of living life that was forced onto me and i have never asked for.

Yeah fuck it I'll give it a try. You think listening to music in headphones is allright? I usually listen to podcasts for 8 hours a day while I'm at work and I think that is bad too.

I believe I am in a rigged game designed to only ever give me the illusion of salvation or success

talk podcasts are alright lol. as long as the host is down to earth.

I'm mildly depressed, but I'm not clinically depressed.
Having been both, there is a big difference between the two.
I thought I knew agony before I experienced a severe depressive episode.

well, you set out to get the things you want, they go horribly wrong for no reason, so anything that starts hinting that it's gonna implode, causes me to withdraw completely, it's only rational

>loneliness
>no future

Because my life has been fucked up since birth and it's only going to get worse. I'm powerless to stop it. All I can do is wait until things get bad enough for suicide to feel like a necessity

>then some kinda pure-o-ocd episode that made me nearly kill myself + guilt for intrusive thoughts
>2022 im stuck with some kinda fucking chronophobia, ocd-fag behaviour, insecurity over my body, social anxiety, paranoia, trust issues, fucked up time perception (last 6 months feel like 2 months to me), suicidal thoughts, 24/7 fear over living like this forever

A dash of guilt is all it took to trigger a snowball effect of debilitating self-hate and severe mental illness. My initial guilt wasn't even concerning something that severe at all, it was frivolous interpersonal drama. What started as a sentiment of "Hey, maybe I hurt someone even though I didn't intend to" became "I'm a horrible person and I should kill myself." My only real friends were cold and cynical, which made things even worse as small insults would accumulate into this feeling of dehumanization I currently feel. This isn't normal. I didn't rape someone or push a person to suicide or anything horrible. I just felt somewhat guilty over a falling out and now I'm a neurotic mess incapable of self-love.
