Depression is pretty much unheard of in hunter gatherer societies. It seems like civilization is the problem and so the solution is that we should all go out and poison the water s of our discontent. With medication.

I'm glad that hunter gatherer societies frequently have professionally trained individuals amongst them able to properly diagnose and report those statistics which sounds 100% accurate without me checking or hearing any of what the millions of qualifications to that statement would surely have to be

I get pretty bad depression in the winter. I cope with it. Often watching reruns to avoid sleeping 14+ hours a day, that only prolongs how many months the depression lasted for me, and also made me stiff and feel like more poo poo. Keeping a proper bed time and forcing myself to stay awake even if it was watching SG-1 yet again. Richard Dean Anderson ask Baal if his name is as in bocce again.  Just find something to pull you out. I've oddly found bottom barrel ad supported phone games where you are more watching ads than playing help. They keep me distracted enough without requiring much input and I can just kinda idle and burn time until I work it out. But this is a seasonal depression if you suffer from the more year round type I'm not sure it will help, but maybe. Don't pay for the lovely phone games, that's a rabbit hole of being bored by them and broke.

If our instincts didn't force us to avoid pain and favour life over death we'd all kill ourselves when we had our first tantrum at like 2 years old.

not currently depressed but I do get pretty loving bad anxiety and just spiral hard sometimes. i usually just watch a bunch of space poo poo and it makes everything I'm worried about seem super insignificant and it turns me around which is the weirdest coping mechanism I've developed

You ever interacted with a 2 year old? It's non stop suicide attempts. They don't even realize it, it's a subconscious drive. That's why we have to watch them all the time to prevent them self terminating until they get smart enough to fear death. That, uh, takes awhile.

There are multiple, accessible fixes to avoid....ALL of this with almost no effort on your part, no lifestyle changes, etc. All of this can go away.

That's not what I'm saying sorry if it read like that. Different things work for different people. I still have months every year where I barely have the motivation to drag myself out of bed. I'm trying to instill that there is hope for everyone to find a way to manage and live with it. Obviously this is not applicable to all depressions.

Here's a really good lecture that helped me understand the actual biological component of depression https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOAgplgTxfc tl;dr if a fat person tells you they're depressed, they're probably not depressed

i was depressed once, until i grabbed onto both my bootstraps and pulled really hard, lifting me up into the sky, whereupon i did a backflip and came back down landing perfectly on my feet. mentally, of course. if i tried to do that physically, i would've broken my back. i would share with you how i did it, but you'd need to become a (figurative) demon slayer and i don't think you're ready, op. also you need to learn how to use nunchaku.

I saw a dope documentary on this recently and it's pretty much all "look at these cool animals we hunt and have a spiritual connection with", "check out this babe with booty for days" and "lol, penis". Not a single sad face emoji in sight.

sad brains cannot be cured. Sad brains is your rational ability to doubt gone overboard. See a professional sure! It didn’t matter for me, because they just thought in the exact same way that onsets depression in the first place. What finally did it was to go through it - to believe in something and stick with it. Life is meaningless, things suck, suffering is the default state of being but doubling down on that and making a decision to overcome, and not just hide, to truly believe in something while doubt wants to tear me down, made life playful and something to look forward to. Good luck homie

I also love the fact that the few friends I do have all choose everything else over me to spend their time on.

Pet peeve: All of the people not suffering from actual clinical depression with their easy-mode wisdom about how to simply get over depression. In my experience, they also tend to get annoyed when the simple things that work for them in order to be happy don't just automatically work for a severely depressed person. With my family, I've received the advice of "just go outside and do something fun!" over and over and over and over for years. I explain that I want to but can't. Can't. CAN'T. They don't understand. To them, if they are bummed and bored, they just stand up and go for a drive and go shopping and hang out with friends and acquaintances. I try to tell them that just the IDEA of walking outside causes enough panic in me to cause me to vomit which means actually going out is absolutely out of the question. But they still insist "just go drive to a park and have a fun picnic!" ......... fuuuuuuuuck. If just reading those words causes me to puke from stress, I CANNOT GO DO IT. Can't! Not avoiding it because I don't want to. CAN'T. Trying to convey mental illness to those unwilling to try to understand is infuriating and pointless.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZatFRUN8D9A I've got a war in the head. Fear our lives won't pass as great events. A better prospect hides up ahead. Do you feel it in the air? We've been crushed beyond oblivion. Farce and death walk hand in hand. Graves and memorial walls hold my family name. Pills and bottles do the same. I hope that freedom's coming our way.
