OP as you've discovered, peace doesn't come from your bank account, or what other people tell you. It comes from within. It's you who's a bit broken & you need to fix yourself.

Keep lifting, and look into mindfulness meditation. Fully Present is a good book on the subject, written from a secular viewpoint by a UCLA neurology professor and a meditation teacher. Highly recommend it.

Tiny stop posting without your trip.

>>7216126 Seeing a psychologist can be a pretty responsible move OP. Admitting you have a problem and doing what you need to do to take care of it is pretty admirable IMO.

>>7216126 >wouldn't it be just admitting failure See that right there is a cognitive distortion. You are acknowledging you have a problem, but instead of stopping there you are labeling it as a failure. Having an issue to deal with != failure.

Ironically i found marijuana to be a great help to me. Never took drugs or really drank alcohol. Started smoking weed when i was 21 and heavily depressed, started to think alot deeper and have been "getting better" steadily for afew years. Found it to be a great help when meditating too.

its probably your bodys way of telling you something is not right. The way your living your life is not what you are ment to be doing, find what makes you happy and persue it. working 9-5, having a good job or going through "education" is not where happyness comes from. We're herded into believing this shit is what we're ment to do here but really no one fucking knows. If your genuinely concernd go see a doctor. They dont really understand how it all works but they'll put you on medication which can help. It certainly got me to a stage where i could start to change things for myself. The meds are hit or miss i wont lie to you, the first 3 i tried did nothing but make me sick, but it was worth it for the 4th one which helped alot. Your brain is deficient in certain chemicals that are making you feel the way you are, or through thinking negatively for so long you get stuck on that pathway and its hard to shake off. You need to force yourself to think diffirently but this might not be possible till your brain is functioning as it should. There should be more tests available for this to see exactly what is going on, but alas there isnt. Its trial and error i'm afraid till they get it right.

OP i've got depression too. you need to deal with what makes you miserable. think about all the uncomfortable things you'd rather not think about, all the miserable and frustrating times of your life. after a short while you'll become extremely sad/angry. and after like an hour, the emotions will just leave. after that, you'll feel like your depression is completely gone. and just do that every week or so, its what i do and afterwards i feel like im not deperessed

My grandfather was 15 years old When he killed his first man. 15 years old when the Nazi's rolled into his village. 15 years old when a man from his village gave him a gun and told him to fight to the death. I don't know how many Nazi's he killed, but I know it's over 10. By 19 he was married and had his first kid coming soon. He spent 4 years in a war, then immediately jumped into raising a family. My other grandfather was imprisoned for 15 years for not divorcing his wife, because her family was anti communist. He was a military Colonel so they weren't going to take her unless he divorced her. He refused. Was stripped of his command and tortured for 15 fucking years. Every time I get depressed, I just think about how they pushed through. They were men. And so I have to be one too.
