I wonder if I have SITUATIONAL depression

I don’t have a depressive DISORDER. When my life is good, I’m happy and satisfied and all that good. So, fortunately I know it’s just SITUATIONAL, and not an issue with the neurotransmitters. This means that it is possible to cure my depression without Jew pills or therapy or anything of that sort.

But since I dropped out of my freshman year, and didn’t qualify for the army, and quit my job, and a few other things, I think I have depression again.

It wouldn’t be the first time. Not even in recent memory. I had a really bad Halloween in 2025, which led to being depressed for about a month. Then in late December, I had depression for a few months, maybe until early March.

I feel it coming back again. Many days, I get flashbacks to times I was depressed before.

I still have a fairly decent, but small social circle, that I’m grateful of. I’ve lost a few friends and gained a few recently, but that low level change is constant.

I stopped approaching women, and I have stopped caring so much about friends zone girls. I used to watch PUA content and redpill stuff but I do that drastically less now.

I want to improve, but I just find it hard to motivate to do anything.

I also find it hard to enjoy the little things as much, like an empty park, a sunset, or the birds chirping.

Honestly I have even started posting here less. I tend to get in my head about stuff now. I think people are more critical and judgmental than they actually are.

I have even quit a few hobbies I like.

Why am I posting this? Because I know I need to change. I can’t just LDAR and NEET, give up essentially. I still have a life, and I must try to live it to my fullest potential.

There were Two motivational quotes I heard that inspired me: “Life is pain, but you can choose to live with the pain of sacrifice or the pain of regret.” And also “The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more expensive it is to get back home.”

Both of those quotes hit close to home, and pushed me to get up and try.

What can I do? Just try to push myself out of my comfort zone a little bit.

I got a new console, and I’m going to try to learn new games and make friends from online gaming.

I decided to go to the gym again, after a long hiatus. I want to play a sport. Probably basketball or tennis, because I am decent (or even fairly good) at those, but I might learn a new sport. I am going to learn lock picking just because. I will try to make at least one irl friend in the near future. I will play more guitar too. I will write more short stories and poems

I talked to a female today, although she said she had a boyfriend within like 30s. But I will try to have a sustained conversation with an attractive female in the near future.

I will also apply to college for fall 2026, and also look for a job.

I’m sure other things I ought to do will come to me, but this is what’s at the top of my mind now.

While I know my life circumstances are tough, I can choose to drown in my own misery, or try to make the best of life, and live my life the best I can.

And to clarify, I’m not some stupid redpiller saying that going to the gym or taking a shower will fix your or my life completely, I am saying that erring on the side of action is almost always a good idea and rarely is worse than not doing so.

I was in the cub scouts as a kid, and their motto was “do your best” I hope to do that even in my adult life.

If I fail, remain a depressed loser, even if I try, than at least I can’t blame myself, which is at least something.

I wish you all the best of luck in life,

high iq, i remember this being called atypical depression i think, that it can be changed by life circumstances
 
Niggas really need a PhD to tell us that we’re depressed because our needs aren’t being meant in this gay society
 
The worst part for me is I don’t want to do anything so am just neglecting shit

The whole concept of depression is retarded. If your life sucks, you will be unhappy. Real depression is someone who has a great life but still can’t be happy. That is not nor has ever been me. Idk why psychologists make everything so complicated

Yeah nor do I. I don’t feel like pushing myself. I don’t want to leave my comfort zone. But I make myself. It starts with one small step. Say hi to a female passing by. Listen to a new genre of music. Just little things that you wouldn’t normally do in the beginning. That’s how you start.
 
Asked for a gym routine for a guy who had crazy abs today and he told me I should workout with him tomorrow, lifefuel
 
its so over for depressioncels.
 
Honestly it took a lot for me to talk about my mental health, even on this site, where I’m anonymous. Mental health is so stigmatized, especially for men.

If you say anything negative about your mental health people will treat you differently. They will think you’re unwell or crazy.

Thus, I’ve learned just to always say I’m fine, even when I’m truly not. To everyone, even my parents and close friends.

If I say I’m depressed, people will look at me as if there is something wrong with me. That frustrates me because most people in my shoes would also struggle.

Fake it till you make it, I guess
 
We are depressed when we fall behind in life, we need to exercise our willpower into a meaningful way to feel good about ourselves and not be depressed
