I've been depressed for 16 of my 24 years alive. I semi-recently started trying stuff to get better. 7 different medications and a therapist that literally told me they couldnt help me later nothing has changed. What else is there for me to do to get better or can i not be helped?

There's Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, which is nearly 100% effective.
But temporary.
Lots of people are depressed, in different ways and for different reasons. Some people come out of it over time, even after a *long* time, without cause. Some people never do. William Cowper, for instance, made multiple attempts to kill himself, and went to his deathbed still tortured by his depression.
What I do is read about other people who have been depressed. Lincoln, Cowper, etc. Helps me know I'm not alone.
And it helps to be busy. Less time to think is less time to feel the depression. Marriage, kids, etc, will help, at least with symptoms.

Start doing a bunch of drugs and then start selling drugs and then reach the top of the drug game

Have you tried ECT?
Lincoln Cooper
why do you think you are depressed
Lincoln Cooper
No i havent tried that yet. I've just been doing what the therapist/doctors tell me to do and that hasnt come up yet
I know im not alone and it makes me feel worse. Why do i deserve to feel bad at all when so many other people have things worse. My entire support group is online friends, theres no one irl who really cares that i even exist
Henry Rogers
idk why i just stopped being happy when i was 8. Since then i got bullied throughout school, had my mother who told me she was embarrassed to be seen with me because of how i looked, and my dad who actively encouraged me to give up on things and seems to care more about money than anything else. Now im 24, no irl friends, no goals or dreams, hate how i look, constantly give up to the point that i dont even try things because no point to try just to give up and feel worse after. Think that about covers it

24 is a hard age for young men, you feel weird and out of place and aimless, you generally have no fucking clue what you wanna do with your life, yeah it's tough. All I can tell you is a) it gets easier. user you will realize as you get older that everybody is faking it to some degree, even the most based person in your head, even the one you think has the best life if you could only be him, user we are all fucked up, no one knows what the fuck we are doing here. Try to complete small tasks everyday, seriously it doesn't matter how small. Make it a point to shower every morning, or wash a few dishes or fold the laundry. Start small, just find something small and complete it. You will find a lot of self worth in just completing something. Around 27-28 for men, it gets much easier, and you won't be as hard on yourself and it won't matter what you are doing for money or what your situation is because hey, it's you're life, enjoy it. And please please just remember, we are all just faking it, it's gonna be alright man, just enjoy it.

I only ask because I have personally seen a lot of people experience benefits from it. I work in a hospital and the changes that happen are very impressive. I don't know how bad your depression is but for people that are suicidal and/or self harming it seems to have a benefit.

I'm in a similar situation. I'm 25 years old and i have been depressed since i was 7. This depression has cost me everything. I'm physically unable of carrying a normal life.
Justin Sanchez
You can do nothing about it, you have to wait a year or two, it will go away without you even realizing.

>My entire support group is online friends, theres no one irl who really cares that i even exist
For what it's worth, a lot of people don't really have friends besides online. Ben Shapiro says he really only has a couple of friends, despite knowing and interacting with plenty of people. Matt Christiansen (YouTuber) says quarantine doesn't impact him because he just sits at home and interacts with people online anyway. And on and on.
If you really want to feel better, TMS is probably your surest bet. But it's temporary.
Have you read Ecclesiastes?
>I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and striving after wind.
>3 I say that a stillborn child is better off than he. 4 For he comes in futility and he goes in darkness, and his name is shrouded in darkness. 5 Though a stillborn child does not see the sun and is not conscious, it has more rest than he. 6 And if he lives a thousand years twice, but does not experience happiness, do not both go to the same place?
Or Job?
>If I say, "My bed will comfort me,
>My couch will ease my complaint,"
>Then you frighten me with dreams
>And terrify me by visions;
>So that my soul would choose suffocation,
>Death rather than my pains.
God spoke explicitly and inerrantly about depression. It isn't foreign to even the most godly men. But seek God, find meaning in Him, and rejoice that this affliction is not all there is.
Nathan Morris
Yeah i know it can help a lot but idk how you get to that point. Maybe the doctors dont want to do that to me because while i have suicidal ideations i always tell them i dont want to do anything to myself deep down.
Not fat im just barely not underweight. Ugly? i think so because i hate myself and i've never been in a relationship so that kinda points to that right?
With the current medication not helping the doctor said that the next thing would be more intense medications so that might be next
David Long
What are your passions user? Maybe its because of stagnation, a little bit of variety can go a long way. Even something small.
Jaxson Gonzalez
even the online friends i feel that i dont belong. If it is just me and one other person we will sit in silence because i dont function socially at all. And im not religious in any way sorry
ive been waiting 16 years and all its done is get worse over time
im sorry to hear man. I really wish you the best of luck. I dont want anyone else to feel similar to how i feel, and for it to happen for so long it makes you feel like you cant be helped and just are a broken person. I'm still trying thats why i posted here, you gotta keep trying too man
Anthony Johnson
Also some benzos here and there should help ease some pain. But use with moderation.
Brody Diaz
I have never had any passion for anything, never had either. its part of why i just feel like im a broken person, because the only thing i want anymore is to just be happy
Christopher Morgan
Maybe thats the problem then. You should make it a point to do one thing out of your comfort zone a week. Maybe if you had something you enjoy doing you'd have an easier time. Its worth a shot.
Jose Young
If you're depressed tonight, folks, I recommend a simple remedy:
Dominos has 8 dollar large 3 topping pizzas if you pick up, or 2 2-topping mediums for 6 bucks each. Get yourself some pizza, and a creme soda or whatever you like.
Sit down with a movie you've been wanting to watch for a while. Netflix or primewire dot li if you don't have something locally stored.
Eat and be merry, if just for an hour or two. Enjoy your food and your movie, enjoy the distraction. Go to bed full and for one night forget your problems.
Tomorrow has enough worry of its own.
Joseph Diaz
Acid or shrooms friend? Either one will help you to feel better and might rewire your brain
Christopher Reyes
dont suicide user, it just brings you to a new hell
the only think that could drive a man to survive in this world is passion. find one user.
Logan Morales
I know that it is part of the problem, but idk what i can actually do. I live in a small commuter town where the only thing people do for fun is stay in and get high/drunk. Im not into that stuff and theres nothing nearby to do at all. i just set myself up in such a bad situation that now that i dont function anymore im just broken
Ian Rivera
His thing was banging women in menapause
Christopher Flores
Never done any recreational drugs. I'm literally on drugs to attempt to feel normal, why would i take drugs that would accomplish the opposite?
Asher James
What do you mean when you say you're depressed? Are you sad for a reason? Are you sad at all?
Luis Reyes
Just an option to consider, I hope it doesn't come to that though.
I am going to ask some questions that might explain why you are depressed depending on your answers.
Physical health status?
Do you have "normal" sexual interests?
Did you suffer childhood trauma/abuse?
Do you have any hobbies?
Have you ever done regular team based activities?
Do you have goals?
Financial status?
Living arrangements?
Relationship with parents?
How often do you masturbate?
Do you have anybody you would consider a close friend?
Amount of screentime per day?
How many hours do you sleep on average?
Your answers to these questions will give you a base to work from in therapy and in your personal life. Good luck user.
