Why?

I wanna heal my depression without seeking help

 

[Vetusomaru]

I had some friends during uni, eventually they stopped talking to me. We were talking one day and then I got ghosted. I was also never been invited to "reunions".

I remember myself being invited to elementary school union. But I never went because why going to a reunion with people that stopped hanging out with me even at the end of elementary school? And why going to a reunion where I would meet classmates that used to bully me back then and years later when I was meeting them by chance at the street and talking to me they never apologized to me for the bullying they were doing to me.

You won't "heal" your depression by ruining your health and make you die before your time. There are countless better and healthier ways to deal with depression. In my case when I was a depressed teen my geek hobbies (anime, video games, comics, movies etc) helped me a lot. No crap like doing drugs, smoking, getting drunk, getting involved with teen gangs etc.

That's a nice start.

Depression doesn't go away, it will be with until you die. The only thing you can do is keep it under control. But you can't cure depression.

And also that I think i'm the most fucking stupid person alive

An actually stupid person would never admit being stupid. Ever heard of the old Greek philosophy saying "I know that I know nothing"?

I know that I know nothing - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Also stupid people never admit their mistakes even when they get proved wrong for the most obvious shit.

I know that feeling. Unfortunately I don't have any meaningful advice for this problem.

I don't want to get TOO personal but I will say some stuff.
I feel completely stuck in a loop of the same old daily routine for over 2 years at this point and it has severely impacted my mental health. It led to a lot of reckless money spending, specifically on food which has led to weight gain and I'm scared of even checking what my current weight is right now because man, I'm probably like at over 260 at this point (I'm not a muscular person at all btw) and before all of this, I was at like 225, something like that. I've been wanting to improve my health but every time I try, something happens that stresses me out and kills my motivation to do anything.

Damn I read this between my set of push ups at this point its routine...

May I ask what job you work in? If it doesn't hurt try walking? You probably did anyway...Ramadan is coming soon why not fast with us? Or cutting food is impractical for you?

I know you didnt ask but i'm not from the islamic religion

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

I mean my guy its obvious well fasting isn't a practice we invented I think also Buddhist monks do strict fasting too not sure about it

 

[Vetusomaru]

Unless you live in shithole area or in a depressing dull city without any proper parks or being close to nature.

Fasting is a thing at Orthodox Christianity too. Dunno about Catholic Christianity.

 

[Antilocal123]

I want real life friends/friends of my age

I tend to hit myself in the head whenever I get angry with myself

---

I wanna smoke/vape

Don't smoke or vape until you’re 18, actually, don't smoke at all and this is coming from someone who does.

Don't do it for aesthetics either because it gets dull fucking quickly, don't hit bongs, don't hit vapes, don't do none of that shit.

Try a hobby, drawing or anything like that, don't smoke weed or any of that shit.

I'm one of few select kids who would never get invitation to reunion and I'm sorta proud about it.
All they do is probably one upping each other how their life is much better, best if we don't go anyway.

You need a park to walk? Kek the streets are good enough for me.

Bad luck if you live in Birmingham (I woke up in a steamy mood yeah)

Oh yeah (and how did you know I am/was catholic?)

Currently work at a warehouse job where I'm one room with a couple of others and rebox various goods. Not a very hard job but I'm forced to work at a schedule I don't like and I feel pretty isolated and depressed just being in one room in almost complete silence and before anyone asks, earbuds and playing music out loud are banned at my job so I can't even do that to calm myself down. Some might be able to handle that type of job just fine, but my general depressed mood makes me absolutely hate it.

I didn't. But you've told me the country you live at where most people are Catholics.

I hope you can find other work with better working arrangements and pay

Lol. Why?

Another reason why I'm not fond of the idea of reunions. I already hate it when at parties and social gatherings others are larping about "how good their life is" just to boost their ego or something.

Why they hell they ban music in a job like that? Your boss sound like douchebag. Why not ignoring the ban? It's not like they'll know that you listen to music when you work alone.

Long story short, me and my group of friends have always been the outcast at school, and most of us don't have a social media (that they know of) to contact us anyway.

I see. Still social media weren't even a thing in the past when people were organizing reunions.

I forgot to mention it earlier but if you want to improve your mental health, the first step is to drastically reduce the time spending at the internet and especially at online communities and social media. My mental health improved drastically the moment I deleted all my social media accounts (except twitter) and reddit (although I was rarely using it and I was mostly using it for real life lewd stuff) and the moment I finally stopped visiting toxic sites like 4chan (that among others is full with spambots and feds).

Well I guess they banned you for this?


Lol you sleep and find out few hours later a member got banned.

@Xdqwerty how are you feeling today?

 

[harrydubois]

been struggling with a sh addiction for years now. ive been really missing it lately and watching house md keeps triggering my wish to do it... the only thing thats keeping me in check is the fact that i love dancing. i do it regularly, courses, social dance nights but i just miss it so much

I was gonna reply to them too. Damn.

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

I don't get how they turn out like that like can we even know what happened that caused the ban? I guess the public aren't allowed to know that by the bourgeois.
