JFL What even is “depression” exactly?

[Celasius]

I don’t get it. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder years ago and even I have yet to understand the JUST depressed people. According to the psychology that goes behind it, it’s not supposed to be a consistent thing and you only get to sort of re-enter it as a phase every now and then. Now, apparently, I have all the signs and symptoms (contemplate suicide, zero motivation to live, no energy to do anything ever) and all in all, I fit under every category of what makes a “depressed” individual so by that logic, am I supposed to be ALWAYS depressed?

Anyone in my shoes, going through the same miserable life experiences (relentless bullying, constant rejections in every department, loss of family members, etc.) would just be invariably depressed if that’s the case and don’t even get me started on the therapy. What good is therapy for those of us with actual real life problems who’re not pretending to be miserable for the sake of our lives stepping out of boredom?

Gets me thinking, is it all just really a normie thing? If signifying severe passing sadness and pessimism supposed to be synonymous with a mental health issue that could potentially pose a real risk of harm (i.e., depression) then is it just another one of those female oriented things that merely exist for women to deliberately seek out more attention? No wonder why they brag about it so much then. Since it’s expensive and the media they consume 24/7 on fucking Netflix for example glorifies and romanticizes it ceaselessly, it’s almost become some kind of luxurious commodity for them to have mental health issues and so naturally, they bring it up pretty much everywhere. Almost like they have no other problems in their lives so their totally chemically balanced brain HAS to come up with something to compensate with and what better way than to self-diagnose yourself with the most “common” illness of our time?

To me, acting depressed is like another way for normies to have their nonexistent problems validated. No uwu I’m depressed for those of us who literally want to fucking die.

[cvury]

not reading all that but I have bi polar too, affected me my whole life. Just had an episode in the car a few days ago because of work stress. I just keep on trekking tho until we die.

 

[Celasius]

Lack of dopamine

Then what would you call it if someone is consistently lacking dopamine? Depression is supposed to be a phase according to psychiatrists.

 

[ERaser]

It's just a natural reaction to a real problem in the incel version of depression

Clinical depression

 

[Mike]

Depression is either some medical brain fuckup where a normal person with a stable life gets sad for no obvious outside reason, but it is also called depression when someone with a fucked up life is aware of how shit everything is and loses hope and interest in dealing with it.

 

[shishiowasright]

Normie "depression" always just seems like childish attention seeking to me. In reality expressing any sort of vulnerability as a man gets you nowhere, at best you'll be gaslit to hell and back or be told to go to thERapy.

Never understand why psychiatrists treat depression with jew pills instead of addressing the root cause of the problem, especially in those of us that are extremely socially isolated

Yeah they pretend it just came magically and we are the problem instead of offering sex therapy

 

[der_komische]

there is regular depression (someone with a normal life just feeling like shit) and then there is permadepression (someone with a shitty life realizing he is doomed)

 

[Sinbad Gehenna]

It's a real disorder. But normies change it in such a way that it becomes goofy and pathetic. Like they are trying to make some aesthetic out of it. Fucking infuriating.

Yes, with the money the state spends trying to cure some incels’ depression, they’d be way better off just paying for escorts for these people.

Normies changed the word sad to depressed

Yes, and that’s why I think it’s definitively not for me. I’ve never been sad for no reason due to my neurotransmitters fucking up on their own out of nowhere. For me, it stems from a cause and I think most of this community can relate to that too hence we never seek out therapy cause it’s literally just NOT for us.

Yup. Our lives aren’t shit cause we’re depressed, it’s vice versa.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but they ruined depression.

 

[Mortis]

There's depression that's caused by a genuine chemical imbalance in your brain and there is depression caused by hardship in your material reality.

 

[HeinrichHimmler]

If you own nothing and are not happy about it, (((they))) diagnose you with depression and sell you medication designed to numb your senses.

Is isolation the root cause? I think isolation is a symptom of inability to socialize due to autism/anxiety. There are people readily available most places, but I never feel as lonely as when I'm among them and can't relate to their lives and interests or think of anything to say to them. Almost everyone else I ever met seem to operate on a different level and get along much better with each other than when I try to interact with them.

Yes, you’re right brocel. I feel this too.

 

[Maladjusted Jerk]

Even if you do address the root cause and fix it won't the brain still be fucked by all the hardship? After that what can you even do? The brain only has one chance to develop and I feel like there is no mending it after that.

[Swagpilled]

depression describes a state of being.
it's not a cause, but rather a description of how something currently is

Social separation distress is the root issue, which results in opioidergic problems and then a dopaminergic deficiency if chronic

Read my threads about the opioid pill

 

[zangano1]

I dont believe in depression

 

[LeFrenchCel]

Being sad
Feeling empty inside

 

[Creep]

It's not real for most people that claim to have it.

Depression is like fever.It is a a symptom of some underlying problem not The problem itself.Jews have weaponised the word into some meaningless mumbo jumbo

 

[Indari]

lack of motivation, hopelessness. life circumstances can absolutely cause it.

 

[DarkLight]

Depression is realizing the truth of this cruel reality. That nothing and no one matters and no one truly cares.

 

[Izayacel]

depression for men = low status, not enough pussy, power and money

give a man territory , money and SEX . and you see him become content and almost happy in no time .

 

[yung loner]

The ones who have it naturally have a chemical imbalance, it can be a genetic thing

 

[Fifita]

Zero hope
