10 Ways to Improve Depression and Anxiety without Meds

[Sad Bunny]

I'm gonna keep it all the way real - I am depressed as fukk.

I had a job (washing dishes ), worked it, hated it, so I quit. But the one thing I liked about it is that I was always busy so I really never had time to think about shyt. So I quit the job, because in my mind I figured that it would give me mad time to do a bunch of shyt... but three weeks later I find myself constantly bored, trying to find shyt to do to fill up my day. And now I want a fukking job and can't seem to get hired.

Then I get lonely and shyt because I spend most of the day by myself. So I go out to bars or whatever, but then I get even more depressed when I am there because I don't really actually LIKE people. Or if I have a good night at the bar, I am mad at myself the next morning for spending too much money (that I really can't afford to spend). And despite the fact that I really don't get anything out of going to the bar, and I always end up saddened by it either during my time there or the next morning, I still go EVERY fukking night. And I don't know why.

Add to the fact that while I KNOW a lot of people around my area, I don't actually have any close friends, or people that I could call up to talk to or just hang out with. I just happen to be cool with all of the regulars at the bars, gyms, etc., that I frequent.

Hell, even when I have sex (which is not nearly often enough), after I nut I'm right back to the sadness.

I need to maybe see a therapist but I really can't find one; plus, I don't want to spend money on some shyt that MIGHT work but might not work.

breh, if you cant find peope to hang with, there's a TON of helpful videos on YouTube and stuff ike that. Look at that video I posted above and just look at the other related videos.

The effect can be just as good as talking to people.

not sure if i've seen meditation mentioned once believe it or not, there's a lot of good in doing it. i speak from personal experience. depression for the most part seems to be centered on what you're thinking... about who you are, where you are in life, whatever may have happened, etc. meditation provides a break from all that. for once you're NOT thinking, you're simply being in the moment its something really special in that because, for me at least, you come to gain a better perspective on things. you're emotions aren't tied in and distorting things. i suggest it to any and all that might be dealing with some shyt



but thats not to say its an alternative to therapy for those that really need it

I DONT KNOW IF IT IS MY SUBCONSCIOUS WRESTLING WITH MY CONSCIOUS, OR A MORBID CURIOSITY, BUT SUICIDE INTRIGUES ME

I feel like this applies:​

"Man is condemned to be free." -Jean Paul Sartre
Greetings, welcome to your first existential crisis. It's a lot like looking over a very big cliff and realizing, with horror, that you could jump to your death and there isn't really anything, other than yourself, which is stopping you from doing that.
Then you realize that you could drive to work tomorrow and get into a terrible and unavoidable car crash that kills you. There is absolutely nothing special about you, no reason that some other person should die tomorrow and you shouldn't. Some truck driver is going to go into diabetic shock and wipe your car off the highway and there's nothing you can do about it.
So, then you get really upset and despondent because the net which you thought was going to catch you, be it religion, your parents, the American Dream, whatever, is mostly an illusion and won't catch you. You truly are "condemned to be free."
But then, hopefully, you get the fukk over it and embrace it and realize that you are free to create your own meaning to life and are blessed to experience consciousness. Then you turn thirty and roll your eyes at twenty year olds who are having existential crises.
Good luck!

As terrible as depression can be, anxiety is a muhfugga. Depression feels like it's easier to tackle or at least counteract cuz I already know what I gotta do. I'm assuming fighting anxiety would be similar to depression (or essentially the same thing), but mann, the smallest thing be messing with me and it feels like it takes forever for me to get myself together. I won't look it, but mentally and the feeling lingers for too long.
