    Cheer up?

    Super easy, barely an inconvenience. Its all in your head, man, just work out a bit Bro, come on dude just drink more water, take some vitamins my guy, try sleeping more/less/on schedule, gender-nonspecific humanoid, JUST BE HAPPY

    It’s TOTALLY easy, which is why so many people struggle daily. Cause it’s EASY.

    Do I even need to put the /s?

    They just need to figure out how to turn it into a massive advertising campaign, lock everyone in their houses and give them an opportunity to shitpost about how horrible their ideological opponents are, and nobody will question anything they tell you to put in your body to solve depression.

      remember: never share anything and never engage with others. keep all of your thoughts and emotions and ideas to yourself at all times. especially on the internet, a platform designed to enhance global communication!

        I was not gonna post this. I scrolled back and did anyway.

        It has been a defence mechanism after meeting too many toxic people. I shut up everywhere, never expressing emotions or opinions. Tired of getting called out for strange ideas or expressions.

        Fuck it all. It destroyed 15 years of my life. Getting out of the cycle is not easy!

          i’m glad you posted about it - it’s something i, and i’m sure many other people who are struggling, tend to think about.

          i think it’s generally a good thing to talk about these sorts of topics, especially ones like depression where it’s easy to get lost in your own thoughts and it can feel like you’re the only one suffering like this. i know for a fact that it helped me realize that i’m not alone and that there are ways out of the pit i found myself in, despite feeling like it would never get better and my suffering was so unique that there was no cure.

          granted, commiserating alone won’t get you back to a happy baseline, but it does broadcast this to others who might not realize it: you are not alone, there are people who care, and it is not impossible to be happy again. i wish you the best.
