how do you cope with depression
>>675034095
suicide
Vigorous masturbation.
>>675034095
Mostly self harm and reminding myself that I will eventually be manic again
> pic related, from one of my shitty times
I fucking love mania, if only I didn't spend all my money and max my credit during the current episode shit would be golden
>>675034677
This helps, but only in the short term.
>>675034095
Id start with not being on 4Chan.
This place is a breeding ground of depression and other mental illnesses
>>675034400
Hajhahahhahahhahahahhahahahah holy shit i lost so hard. Dear god you dark motherfucker. And op thats for you to figure out i prefer alcohol
medication helps more than you would think
>>675034095
Genocide.
>>675034677
most of the time masturbating just makes me want to kill myself more than before
In all seriousness maybe try nofap. I know some hate it but I tried it a few months back and I've gotten better since for some reason.
>>675034095
Get an addiction

These dank memes

I cat fish girls online. Use my photoshop skills to make myself a 10/10 handsome alpha with a huge cock. I've become really good at it, learned tricks and stuff. I lure girls in and get them to really like me, promise them a future together and use them to cull my loneliness for a while as we have an online LDR. Sometimes I use voice chat with them, they always say I have a sexy voice (shame about being an ugly manlet IRL)
It's nice, but it never lasts for more than a few months because they want to meet or to see a webcam. So I try to dump them in meanest way possible because it makes me feel a little better about myself if I hurt them when I leave.
It's hard sometimes because I have to try not to get attached to them.
It gets me by. Whenever I'm feeling super down and lonely I'll go hunting for a girl.
>>675036683
i was thinking how shitty this is, before realizing that they'll get over it, you won't
>>675034095
I focus on my goals, hobbies, maintaining social ties and going on new adventures. You gotta fake it 'til you make it, as the saying goes. I never could deal with meds, hated how they made me feel like a zombie. Figured fuck it, might as well try living life to the fullest for a while before I anhero. It worked; I'm actually happy a decent amount of the time now.
>>675034095
Work damned hard at a dead-end job five days a week for a 40-hour check regardless of late the days run, sleep away the weekend staying up late Sunday wondering why I'm still so tired when I've done next to nothing for myself but rest, eventually get four'ish hours sleep Monday morning before waking back up and doing it all over again.
Occasionally I go fishing.
420 blaze it nigga
Bury it deep inside of you, Ignore everything your shrink says, and give up on stuff before you can get hurt
>>675038066
i don't have a good response for that one
Marijuana, alcohol, music, and from time to time more illegal shit
Booze
Weed
Acid
Opiates
Amphetamines
>>675034677
This, once when I wake up so I can get the willpower to get out of bed.
Also, nice dubs
I used to bang heroin. Now I just cry myself to sleep. Heroin was better.
Strict sleep regimen. Good diet. Regular exercise. Saw a therapist for a year and continue to follow mindfulness. Never goes away but it is manageable now. 11 years depressed.
>>675034095
You put up with it until it goes away. Works easiest if you're hungry. As in find food or starve hungry. Nothing kills depression better than starvation.
>>675035304
newfag. lurk more before being that cringey.
>>675040677
Mindfulness is pretty good for maintenance but I get really pissed off at the people who think it is all you need, as if you can continue to think rationally when you're in an acutely fucked up state.
>>675042221
Absolutely. Which is why getting a book on mindfulness will do jackshit. My mindfulness worked because it was mixed with good acts elsewhere in my life and work with a therapist.
>>675034095
find something to be angry about
>>675034095
I compare the pros and cons of killing myself every day. The day the pros outweigh the cons I'll get it over with
>>675042639
IDK why Germans have such a high reputation. Been losing wars since the Teutonic knights gave the Russians their a foundational legend. Kind of like the French really.
>>675042531
When I was talking to a psychiatrist about how I cope she said I basically practice CBT and mindfulness therapy on myself. Still fucked up and suicidal even when I'm not depressed. Just medicate me already so I can live a normal life instead of visiting this locked hospital wing as an outpatient.
>>675043287
Sounds like a pretty shitty therapist.
>>675043100
I do this too. I can't kill myself currently because
1. It would negatively impact my family
2. There's still plenty of hope for me
3. If I kill myself, I will never know how Game of Thrones ends
I have Bob's Burgers to thank for that last one
>>675034095
As a faget, I watch cartoons to lose myself in it's stupid jokes and story, even if it's only 20mins at a time. It helps to indulge yourself to something so you don't have to constantly think of all the times in the past you fucked up, or how things could've been different. I've already accepted I'm a useless nobody that works a meager job just to waste away in from of a computer screen. As long as you don't have a legit reason to an hero, either make something of yourself or quietly die as a background character like the rest of us.

Before the french and germans lost wars they were badass, the french fought off the english in the Hundred Years War and conquered the Saxons long before that, and france currently has one of the best funded militaries per capita in the world
Unless you're an axis power or are really good with a longbow don't fuck with the french
As for germany the accomplishments of Nazi Germany were nothing short of amazing, learn your history
>>675034095
Be.
>>675043287
This is what happens when you don't mention you are suicidal and nobody asks the right questions to bring it up. Just some bullshit lip service until room opens up in a therapy group with a bunch of depressed autistics.
I have gone to this place with cuts that were still bloody and they didn't even hint at doing anything. And of course my shitty government insurance only covers psychiatric care through a hospital, so I don't really have many options.

And yet again, I link the wrong fucking post. Why haven't I just slit my wrists already?

you could be doing it wrong
>>675044475
> As for germany the accomplishments of Nazi Germany
... they lost WW2 leading to Germany getting split? I mean sure, it was pretty cool developing an army after the WW1 disaster, but god damn, a war against Russia before conquering the Brits? Why even start the whole mess!
>>675044475
> axis power
except italy. italy should never wage war. it's like watching a retard try to do math
Went through a really bad episode like a year ago, had some trouble with xanax and painkillers. Pretty much spent my entire fall/winter blacked out and numb. Didn't bother to go outside or speak to friends. Eventually I was fed up with how much I'd let everything go and OD'd on codeine and xanax. I was in rehab for like 3 weeks but it felt like a lifetime In a place like that, you learn to appreciate the little things, even things like a window with a decent view. Since then I've just been trying to get outside more and sink myself into my hobbies no matter how reluctant I feel about it. It doesn't solve everything but it's a start.
Sleeping
Anime
Video Games
Masturbation
So, basically, escapism.

>what are Romans?
modern Italians though, yeah
