Being a Man With Depression Is fukking Tough

[ThaRealness]

I swear I hate this this shyt


Its fukked up because being depressed, its a moment where all your resilience, your mental strength, the positive strides you've taken, don't mean a damn thing.

In that moment, you have no power over the situation

Ive experienced 2-3 such moments in the last month. Every time its like a tsunami hits, and it don't matter if this time my house sitting on a couple stilts.

Failure feels cumulative, like its part of an overriding narrative

Anyone know what Im describing?

How do you cope with those moments of anxiety, fear, hopelessness and even vulnerability?

How do you face it in the moment? And how do you recover afterwards?

You have to confront what is making you feel this way.

The pain is telling you that whatever you are doing, isn't working and something has to change.

atleast depressed chicks have a bunch of thirsty simps to make them feel better

Used to think it was just about women. But I aint tripping over any girls right now, and I hooked up with a chick recently, so I understand its deeper.

But I don't really know, it feels very general. I guess right now Im tripping cause I feel like I can't devise and execute realistic plans

Good advise though

see if you can reach out and talk with someone that’s not a friend about it.

that sounds weird

but they’re not gonna have any biases or try to brush it off if you catch my drift

I hope it works out for you breh. it’s a battle to not become compromised by your own anguish.

love

Being a man is one of the loneliness experiences in the world...

I've learned to embrace death and that whatever triumphs and failures I will experience are temporary...eventually I'ma wither away and end up in the ground...back to nothing...and that's comforting for me...

So I just have fun and enjoy the moment while I am here...this shyt to me is like a party and I just happened to crash it...

I don't think of things as failing or succeeding anymore...I just think of it...as my life...and however the shyt turns out is how it turns out...

Taking this shyt super seriously is just gonna make you disappointed and depressed....

The way I structured my life...I am only responsible for myself...so when shyt fukks up...it's just me...I don't have a lot of angst like I used to because my time is just spent doing the things I am interested in and as long as I do that...I am good...

When I concerned myself with other motherfukkers and their hopes and ambitions and their expectations...I didn't enjoy my time very much...

Which reminds me to the dilemma the Buddha kinda put forth...

You know how this shyt is gonna end...you gonna eventually lose everything...so why be attached to the things of this world...

You gotta be able to engage this world without becoming attached to it...if you attach yourself to this world...you gonna be very disappointed and succumb to the constant striving and ambitions of the human condition...

Humans are a flawed lifeform...we have desires and expectations outside of just fukking, eating and avoiding death...

Living in your hometown when all ya friends moved away = automatic depression.

i got a soft spot for sad boys....i want to heal them . my best pick up line is "i cant help but notice your pain, it runs deep...share it with me"



but that shyt is dangerous though.

Am i wrong for not understanding what depression is? I dont get it

Manifests in different ways but basically extreme negative emotions
Could be sad, feel empty, feel worthless, angry for no reason, no energy motivation care, feel numb etc

 

[Mr. Negative]

yeah, cause nobody cares.

We're supposed to be emotionless robots that look trendy, fukk bytches and get money.
