You need to see this, anon. Bump.

>That no feels when Depersonalization Disorder.

Please kill me it nothings to live.

>that feel when positive outlook on life isn't something that's in your control
That feel is sheer envy.

protip: you dont "have" depression it's not a thing. I have depressed feelings and moods too, but when you let it own you and fall back on a "medical" diagnosis for it, you chose not to accept responsibility for how you feel and why you feel this way. Take responsibility for who you are, and if you aren't happy with that person than fix it.

>>2347352
Why don't you watch the video posted and see why what you said is absolute bullshit.

You should stop watching so much anime, Anon.

It's bad for you.

Apply this to your animeys.

Are you arguing Standford professors with your kitchen psychology and screenwipe bits? Knock yourself out bro, I don't know what you're getting out of this though.

1 hour bump. It's an engaging lecture, please take the time to educate yourself on what is a very common problem in the /r9k/ demography!

>being depressed and watching things that will make you even more depressed
Nigga what you doing?: (
Also stop watching anime, it changed my life for better

>>2348056

if you don't watch anime why are you on 4chan

>>2348056
But you only find it depressing because that's how you find things to be. I hope you now understand what depression is and no matter how much a faggot like >>2347352

If you are prone to depression, see the doctor. Do it for yourself.

Just posting to thank you for posting this lecture. It's just nice to hear a robin williams lookalike insisting that "it's not your fault."

>>2348297
No problem!

Hereditary, genetics based, enviromentally triggered hormone disbalance is a disease, and you can't cure a genetic malfunction, only relieve the symptoms.

>>2348660
> Just kill yourself if you're so depressed

Wahahaha I'm about to do that baka!

I've been diagnosed with depression many times, and have been on anti-depressants many times. I recently stopped taking my medication after watching this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndsB37KUAso&feature=player_embedded

I refuse to believe my brain is at fault; I just have a shitty life, and by taking medication that turns me into a zombie I am ignoring my shitty life and not fixing it.

Fuck 'depression'

>implying taking medication your whole life doesn't work
>implying taking care of your looks doesn't work
>implying facial surgery doesn't work
>implying psychologists aren't just stupid niggers that make money off troubled people because we live in an industrialized world where mental problems are very common due to our deprivation of an environment that our genes have adapted to

>>2348766
If you make it you're one of the lucky ones, or simply not chronically depressed person, I personally relapse to depression in cycles of 2 years.

>>2348790
Why are you depressed? What triggered it? Be honest, asshole.

>>2348790
>cycles of 2 years
Can you plan for that? Do you rush around madly once you're out of your depression (whatever the fuck marks that) doing everything you can? Just curious, man.

>>2348773
If you want to scratch the surface of human behaviour, here's the condensed version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNnIGh9g6fA&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL848F23
68C90DDC3D
I'll see you in a few weeks. It's worth it though, every minute (there's nothing about depression per se in it, just about everything else though). Humans are pretty complex beings.

>>2347217
It sucks. Nothing feels real at all and you can't tell what's happening and what's not. Memories are also a bitch, everything just feels like a huge blur.

>>2348790

Humans haven't always had anti-depressants or therapy. They didn't all sit in the gutter, whither and die. Some of my biggest heroes would probably be labelled as depressed today and fed medication that sucks everything that makes them great from them.

>>2348827
Not the person that you replied to, but I become suicidal every year towards the beginning for winter and I have learned to set up an environment that is completely safe, where I can cope with suicidal thoughts, and think about them, without putting myself in any danger. It's like preparing for a flood, or for mister hyde to come take over your body.

>>2348907
And they all killed themselves or lived as hermits, or indulged in hedonistic behaviours that lead to their early deaths. Depression isn't a gift from the gods to be protected and celebrated, the sufferer is literally unable to feel any kind of happiness, see any kind of hope.

i've felt depressed for the past 7 months and havent picked myself back up at all yet, is that major depression? i want to kill myself but i wont because its too much work honestly, and i wouldnt know how to do it or make it so my family doesnt get in trouble or something. i dont know though, maybe i will

>>2348805
Trivial bullshit, I didn't understand it either, I know people have gone through magnitudes of worse shit.
>>2348827
No, in between the cycles I just feel ok, sort of normal, I enjoy things. Then time tics away and at somepoint I just slowly slide down to that bullshit state of mind no matter what I do or try. It doesn't need a trigger, everything, every single thing just feels more and more overpowering. I hardly eat. I can barely get out of bed. It's the worst feeling in the world. This goes on for few months then I feel better.

It's so embarrassing too, there's no reason to act like a fucking bitch, but it can not be helped.

>>2348929

I disagree. Society today doesn't want to face the negative aspects of our lives, but suffering is necessary.

And as for never being happy or having any hope, you make it sound so absolute. You browse 4chan; do you never see a funny photo and smile? You're posting in this thread: aren't you hoping to be supported and vindicated in your opinions? You may not have the life you believe grants you the greatest happiness, but that does not mean you are completely without happiness, however small and trivial it may be.

>>2348600
No, you're retarded. There's definitely a lot of weeaboo faggotry here, but it's no longer the focal point of the site.

>>2348981
I don't think you understand what we mean with depression here. People literally kill themselves to get away from the feeling. Just take a minute to consider that.

>>2348981
Suffering is not necessary when the cure is to hand. Would you tell your ungry friend that their suffering was necessary with bread in your hand? Or tell a cancer patiend coming to the end of his life that the pain he is in is just a negative aspect of life that he has to deal with and stop being such a babby?

As for your second point, it might be difficult for you to imagine, but when I'm in a depressive phase, I can't smile, or have a happy thought, or enjoy a sunset, or make plans for the future. My brain only processes negative emotions and thoughts.

>>2349019

He won't consider it.

His entire thought process is: I've never felt bad, so neither should you!

>>2349019

You're obviously very happy being labelled as depressed; I'm sure you feel very special, and it's nice to feel like you know yourself, and it's even better to have something that you can blame for your shitty life, but these definitions are largely bullshit. I'm not saying that there aren't some cases where depression is so extreme it needs to be controlled with medication, I'm saying that the label has mostly come to envelop people who don't need the medication. I think most people that have accepted their defining characteristic is depression are wrong and have been misled.

>>2349031

Did you even read the fucking thread? I've been on and off anti-depressants for over ten years.

>>2349029
>I can't smile, or have a happy thought
Really? Not at all? Yours must be one seriously deep depression. Or maybe mine is just baby-like. I can still find shit on here amusing and imagine fun fantasy worlds.

>>2349064
Thanks, your post cured me of my depression.

>>2349029

No one should even want to try to eradicate suffering.

>>2349072

You're just doing it for "attention."

Shh. WE know. WE all know.

What made all you guys go in depression?

Puberty?

Here's some sadcore:

itt - whiny bitches

I've dipped into a really depressive phase lately.

I just can't bring myself to care about anything. The only things I find myself enjoying are irony and complete isolation, and that's less about enjoyment and more just about simple comfort.

It gets worse each time, too. I try listening to all these faggots say, "Oh, just shrug it off," etc... I go to the park, invite friends over, work out, etc... but then I'm just depressed at the park, or depressed with friends over, or depressed working out. It only makes that shit worse.

Depression isn't something you just shrug off.

>>2349111
Garden variety 1st world problems.
If you're one of the people who get immensely depressed, there is nothing you can do about it and you'll fret over bullshit. I can't man up from it, it doesn't work that way.

>>2349111
Life. Being transgender doesn't help any.

Depression is more like a black hole that sucks out everything enjoyable in life and the energy to do anything.
There's also the constant feeling of nausea, loss of appetite, inability to love/emotionally attach to others causing you to have no friends or loved ones, lack of genuine emotion, lack of energy to do anything that a normal person could easily do, loss of sex drive, insomnia, realization that you'll never be relevant or important in any way, and your body feeling so heavy from the lack of energy that you cannot move your limbs or sometimes even chew.

Looks like I have minor depression :I

What about if I can't cry, just feeling numb when something sad happens and being unable to cry at any circumstances.

>>2349134
Fuck your shit

It does work that way, you are just too weak: physically and mentally to do anything about it.

>>2349157
The difference is depression is a biological disorder involving the lack of serotonin and endorphins in the brain's neurons. Alcoholism is an addiction. There's a huge difference.

>>2349161
yes. i come here to laugh at people and insult them.

>>2349174

> you are just too weak: physically and mentally to do anything about it.

Yeah, dumbass, they call that depression.

>>2349174
>you are just too weak: physically and mentally to do anything about it.
Is this supposed to be a counter-argument? That's exactly what I'm saying. You are one stupid motherfucker.

>>2349187
So lack of willpower and being a massive pussy niggerfaggot is depression?

Well la dee da. That is the gayest excuse I've ever seen.

Yeah.

Only the beginning of it, eventually you lose the energy to hate anymore and descend into apathy and exhaustion.

Then clearly you are just as pathetic as you have nothing better to do than lower yourself to the point of making fun of people on an anonymous image board to boost your ego.

>>2349225
Nobody brought that up. I find your thought process puzzling, incoherent; a too jumpy one might a sign of schizophrenia. I suggest, considering your aggressiveness, that you'd go consult a doctor.

Read: >>2349137
It's a physical chore to even get the energy to get out of bed or move or eat like a normal person. Do you honestly think a significant other is the main focus of a depressed person's problems?

>booo hoo im so sad life is so hard. i dont get exactly what i want and other people have it easier than me

you guys need to snap out of bitch mode and become the men you were meant to be.

It's amazing that some people in this thread think depression is a joke. Until it happens to you, then they suddenly care about it. The problem is not getting the help you need, is the fact that there are so many fucking loopholes to get the help you need. You have to pay a certain amount of money, wait-lists, have to go to intake, doctors delaying appointments due to various bullshit.

The naysayers think that depression can go away by pretending that you are not suffering, or by doing drugs or alcohol. The real problem is that the naysayers don't care about you, and these same naysayers will be the same ones that will mock you once you die, as a matter of fact they rather see you commit suicide than you getting help.

Another issue with depression is that you need actual support, not threapy and meds. You need actual support to actually live a basic live.

>>2349713
don't you fucking have anything better to do?

oh wait your life is just as empty and pathetic as ours, but instead of being nice you act like an idiot

second... cycle?

i cant remember a time where i ever stopped being depressed, its like i was born depressed or my memory started too late

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_major_depressive_disorder

When you get through the difficult times your dealing with.. nothing will be able to stop you.

>>2349786
Yes cycles. Dysthymia for about a year than it goes to full major depression for a long time. This probably means I will have this for life (medically speaking thats what depressive cycles mean) , however long that turns out to be... so you might be luckier than you think.

>>2349804

Not sure if this list is serious. How could someone decide that sir Isaac Newton suffered from it?

Speculative diagnosis sounds as unreal as the self-diagnosis for Aspiness on /rk9/.

>>2349769
life on easy mode too much eh? i bet it must be great, getting sex whenever you want and having friends, basically getting a succesful social life served to you in a silver plate, wish i could have experienced it.
what motivates you to make sad people more sad? honestly asking here, it makes you a terrible person, do you do it in real life too? as in, you see someone criying and you go insult and denigrate them?

>>2349769
Still didn't respond to what makes you so great though, did you? Inb4 "hurr durr i hav moneyz and muslcezz fuk u beta"

>>2349769
Who are you calling bitch, little child. When hell breaks its way into your life your legs will buckle at its presence and all will fall apart. Meanwhile, those in this thread who have made it have dealt with the the worst pain they can feel relative to them, such is the nature of depression. They will spit in the face of death while you crumble under the pressure of human suffering.

>mfw when I'm legitimately diagnosed with major depression and I hear other people talk about how they're depressed all the time

I'm sure I'd be angry if it wasn't all so numb.

>>2349883

omg lol haha SRSLY GROW SOME BALLS

>>2349875
Obviously not everything on the list is reputable, this is simply the nature of the internet, but alot of those people, especially those who lived from about 1900 to present day all most certainly had depression. Motherfucking Winston Churchill had it.

>>2349921

Yes, your sadness is much worse than everybody else's sadness. You are so special. Kudos to you for being special!

these threads are easy trollbait but you guys just respond all seriously to the trolls anyway

does depression also make you gullible?

> your sadness is much worse than everybody else's sadness.

Depression is not sadness.
I've known someone who suffered from it; she didn't complain when she got cancer and learned she was going to die from it.
That's more "manning up" in my book that all the proclaimed alphas greentexts on this board, yet she suffered from depression for several years in her life, when things were going correctly.
Real depression is a weird shit.

Hey, other depressed bros, say you depression/trauma has fucked up your memory really, really badly, is there anything you can do/take to make it better?
Or am I completely fucked for the rest of my life and doomed to constant black-outs?

>>2350117

The answer is a resounding No. This nigger has never been depressed and has propably never met an institutionalized depressed person if he thinks there is anything positive at all in depression.
