TheWanderingStarsGuys, this idea that working out and setting a “healthy” routine will eventually solve your depression…it’s bullshit. If you needed that to heal, you probably weren’t depressed, you were just tired and unmotivated.
Depression is an existential void. You need to confront this void in order to identify what’s wrong with your life. The thing that is wrong with your life is often induced by your (socioeconomic) environment, whether it’s your current environment or your past environment. Being aware of the elements which have an influence on you is crucial to gain some control over your life. It goes beyond the “self help” bullshit telling you to lift weights and to wake at 6 AM. I go to the gym every day, it’s agreeable and useful but it doesn’t help. Trust me.
The only helpful thing to do is to seek beauty. There is true beauty beyond the ugliness of the modern world. It’s ephemeral so you better seek it actively. It’s within the smile of a child, the eyes of a woman, the soul of an artist who communicates with you through space and time. God is reflected through beauty. But you don’t have to believe in Him, even atheists and agnostics are able to find beauty. That’s also the beauty of it.
Wow this hit me

got over it
i think when applied correctly its ultimately good advice. some stuff you can accomplish if you set out to do that, thats dialectics. getting to the pure motivation for that is its own thing, but i think a lot of getting over the situation is getting over yourself in that situation first. its probably too immaterial for how i normally like it but this approach demonstrably yielded results for me

Sep 13, 2025i started taking anti-depressants and they helped a lot. the lows aren't so drastic and i'm able to actually tackle life. it always felt weird having depression since i was 5, and constantly being told it wasn't real (sometimes i wish i grew up in a white household, that way they would've taken it more seriously, i could've gotten an actual diagnosis, went to a psychiatrist and therapist earlier, etc.)
