To all the younger ones struggling with depression and stuff you should know you have the power to control your life and make things better. Even if it means scraping by on your finger nails you have to push yourself out of your circumstances and seize your mind.
I was reguarly raped as a child, I was sexually abused several times after that by different people, I was also bullied at school, then when I was 14 I was homeless and at times I ate out of bins to survive. When I was 16 I got my first girlfriend. In the space of 2 years my mother had killed herself and my girlfriend died in a car crash. I developed several conditions, physical, and mental, and still didn't even have a place to live. I spent many years of my life incredibly cold and hungry with nobody there. The amount of times I felt despair, like I couldn't go on anymore, was unimaginable to most people and the trauma never fully goes away.
But I didn't coddle myself and get complacent. I didn't give excuses to myself, or get soft, I got harder. I clawed my way out of the gutter. If you are a man then you need gym and career every single day. If you are not doing something to push your health and career forward every day then you're not looking after yourself and your future.
Even today I don't have family, I keep to myself, never go out, no friends, no social life. I'm still here, nobody can defeat me. I am richer than any other member of my entire family history now built from nothing. Working crappy jobs, grinding every single day like it is the Shawshank Redemption digging my tunnel and crawling through a mile of shit till I get to my dreams. Don't let anything stop you, especially yourself, don't get weak, fight back against life with everything you have.
I never needed any therapy, I don't take meds, I eat right, I work out, I focus on the greater purpose of my life and work on myself to my own standards. Therapy, meds, thats all a scam. Your depression is mostly in your head. If I can overcome schizophrenia and PTSD without all the pills and the babification then you can do that with depression as well. Depression is nothing. Seriously. You must become warriors, like samurai. Nobodies coming to get you. There is no easy way out in life it is do or die. So train and work hard. Don't fall into this BS of you don't have any friends and so have become useless in life from self-pity.
