lol i just gave it a huge stamp .. depressed method...

well i suffer from chonical depression all my life...

being depressed isn't a bad thing... because you already feel fucked up , you don't have to care about what other people think of you or what they did to you... because you already feel fucked up.

how you feel is 1000x times more important than your career , other people or your bank account... you don't want to have shit.. you just want to feel positive and OK. nobody can make you feel worse .. it's impossible.. actually their shit can distract you from being depressed.. at least you can blame some other people instead of your own feelings.

Being depressed isn't a bad thing... it sounds bad but it isn't.. it just means you are grounded in reality and you don''t like reality. Just accept how you feel because it can only get better.

if you are feeling terrible .. even the smallest things can make you feel happy , if you feel like shit al the time at least you feel 100 times more happier than most people when something positive happens. Sounds true right ? if you feel happy all the time you wouldn't care about being happy - you wouldn't feel it because it has become a natural state.

People can fuck you over.. they can screw with your mind but they cannot make you feel worse than you already are... you are against the wall... no matter how hard people or society pushes you you won't move.. let them push because you are against the fucking wall... you cannot go backwards.

If you see that woman .. or if you go to that job interview.. realise that you are already against the wall , you can take peoples shit because you feel like shit already and this will be your power... a new job doesn't make you happy on long term and it doesn't give you spiritual enlightment..

maybe being depressed is spiritual enlightment.. you are grounded in reality , being constantly aware of how you are feeling - giving you the chance of being happy with the smallest amounts of happiness. the only thing which is a constant factor is you and your emotions.. that means it is the most important thing you have.

you probably admit you are depressed .. semi depressed ..down on some days without having much control over it... do realize that it's a challenge because it's much harder to play sports , get a degree , or picking up chicks when you are feeling down. You deserve twice as much respect... most people like bankers and rich fucks get respect.

i think the credit deserves to the man who has nothing - even he himself feels nothing but somehow he manages to create something out of nothing. The credit belongs to the man in the field who takes courage and challenge no matter what - who strives valiant for his goals and values - basically doing the right thing. Social anxiety caused by being too concious of yourself isn't a bad thing but it's just like being in a firefight - it feels exactly the same.

when you are in a firefight with your emotions... tap yourself on the shoulder because most people just succeed their goals. YOU on the other hand did achieved something while you were in a firefight with yourself and your own thoughts.

at everything in life even in pickup i noticed that guys shoot themselfs in the foot.. i have seen guys shooting themselfs in the foot with handguns , uzi , machineguns and stinger missiles... i mean the woman is already attracted .. the job interviewer is already impressed but somehow you feel the fucking need to impress them , to seek approval because of you insecure awareness and social conditioning...

that shit ends today....

because you are depressed and insecure about it... you listened to your emotions and you judged them because you read some negative article from some frued imitating hotshot who lived with his rich parents for too long... There is nothing wrong with feeling like shit .. even shit has a function in nature - it's a fertilizer.. it means you are fertilizing yourself.. the so called '' negative thoughts '' that come along are just mindweeds... throw that shit on the compost heap.. again fertilizer.

if you are depressed and you are able to accept it and live with it you are the man .. let other people live in their fucking delusional happiness.. their own mental disney land. Being depressed gives you the biggest challenge of all .. accepting yourself.. but once you have done it everything will be lighter...
------

just take a few deep breaths and notice on how you feel .. realise that it only can become better because you are already against the wall - but also notice that the wall is your support...

everything is what it is .. you don't have to change other people or yourself.. you only have to accept yourself.. other people aren't that important .. a whore is a whore there is no need in changing such folks. The world is what it is... take responsiblity for how you feel.

your experience is your responsiblity , how you feel is also your responsibility... go to work on yourself instead of focussing on external things. Nothing will give you more satisfaction long term then learning to become good with yourself.

you just want to be OK - you want to be depressed and OK at the same time. Nobody said you can feel good 100 % of the time .. it's impossible. you focus too much on being depressed that you are forgetting what you already have... start being OK depressed... better depressed.

because you already feel like shit daily you don't have to care about other people... because you realise that their shit is their problem .. you don't need their opinion or approval because it will not change the way you feel anyway. This means you can relax and sit back .. this means you can approach other woman... this means you can trust woman without getting your boundaries crossed... because .. you already feel down , it doesn't matter.

if you wake up tomorrow .. question yourself .. how do i feel ? ... well i feel like shit.. with my back against the wall .. well that means nobody can fuck me up.. im already feeling like shit.. it can only become better. When you feel anxious before meeting a woman.. just realise you are feeling like shit .. it doesn't fucking matter you are already with your back against the wall.. rock bottom... it can only become better , more fun and rewarding.

go after experiences and stand your ground .. you have your back against the wall.. you have support.

That frustration you are feeling with woman or with anything else .. that's just you being unhappy because you aren't expressing it. why aren't you expressing it.. who cares what others think.. do you want to feel like shit all your life because you aren't expressing how you really feel/think ?

One ability of a mature man is to accept his frustrations and to express them in a productive way .. by being depressed you have already achieved 50 % of this trait. congratulations....

I think this is an overkill. call it the sad method, or whatever it is exactly youre even talking about here.
I have had 2 friends commit suicide over it. Im doubting you even have it. if you actually do and you don't think its a bad thing, then youre extremely fortunate!
get fucked. for some people it doesnt get better and they take their lives.
That doesnt sound true one bit.

Im sure anyone with depression would choose have inner happiness and then tackle these everyday tasks
You dont have depression do you
I would rather be the man with nothing than actually have serious depression. You even said above "the only thing which is a constant factor is you and your emotions.. that means it is the most important thing you have" a man with nothing still has all his emotions in check. With depression you dont.
ah man I stopped reading here.

if someone actually has depression, they can not overcome it/ or deal with it better by someone telling you: that shit ends today. Sure try and be as motivational as you like to others, ok, but as far as doctors classify it, its a disease. Seek proper help for it.

Honestly I think your whole perspective is fairly damaging to read for anyone who is battling depression or who is easily influenced. I can honestly completely understand your point of view though, as I've been there, I WAS there for years and years. Things kept happening and I kept saying, "this is just how my life is, I'm a realist, my life is shitty."

Here's the thing though; life is all about perspective and perspective is what makes anything good or bad. I can take anything anyone says, or what has happened, or will happen...ever, and I can make that thing either positive or negative based on the perspective I portray it with.

Don't believe me? I'll use the example I usually do. During World War 2 millions of Jewish people of all ages were killed by the Nazis and they believed they were doing a good thing because of their perspective, whereas basically everyone else considered it a bad thing because of their perspective and their beliefs. These days, when people talk about the experiments that they did on the Jews, they typically label them as "horrendous, acts of inhuman cruelty", which is true.

What is also true, is that those same experiments are where the medical procedures for skin-grafting were developed, as well as the space suits astronauts used during the first missions to outer space, and many other things that people would say are "good things" if you were to ask them what they think of those things.

So here the really difficult thing for people to consider; were those experiments "good" or "bad"? The answer is, they were both.

EVERYTHING is both "good" and "bad". In reality, there is no such thing as either, at least when you are looking at it from a truly realistic and objective point of view. It's a very hard thing to admit to ourselves, yet in reality, everything is just the way it is and the way it happens; if something were to happen some other way, well then that would be the way it happens and that wouldn't be good or bad either. Human beings have consciousness and that consciousness is what gives you conscience, which is what gives you perspective, which is what gives you "good" or "bad".

Life is an amazing thing to experience and it is precisely what you make of it. If you believe that it is a depressing, shitty experience, where everything just ends up being the same and it always sucks for you...then it is. If however, you believe that it is a wonderous, joyous, exciting, realm of infinite possibilities, where no matter what happens, you always have a fantastic time and you end up learning new things and coming out on top...then that is what it is!

It all comes down to one thing. Choice. Remember The Matrix:Reloaded and that moment where "The Architect" says, "The problem is choice"? It always gives me pins and needles right then, cause it's so utterly true. That's the whole reason for problems, because of the choice people make to believe that things are problems, when they could simply choose that those things are really amazing possibilities.

So CHOOSE. Decide exactly what you imagine life would be for you if it is the VERY BEST possible life you could imagine. Then simply CHOOSE to live it that way and I promise you that if you truly believe it deep down and don't hang on to that skepticism and just believe and start acting the way that you would if you were the person you imagine yourself being, before you know it life will be exactly as you imagined it.

I made "the choice" on October 31st 2011 and in less than 3 weeks, things that I've always dreamed of, yet never really believed were possible for me, all began happening. I told people that in 1 month, my life would be so radically different, that they would even recognize me as who they'd always seen me as and its beginning to be true. I keep telling people that even though I've been earning under 20k for the last few years and I've never earned over 40k a year before, by November 1st 2012 I'll have earned 100k and I promise you that is true as well.

Make a choice. Are you depressed? I'm not. I never was, I just believed I was. That was a silly choice.
