Prepare your mind, body and soul for the better days. Jobs/Business opportunities are out there, Women are out there. But will you be in your best form when you encounter them?

Felt that.....
When those feelings of dread suddenly appear, best advice OP is to NOT run or shield yourself from those feelings, even w/the onslaught of the anxiety feeling overwhelming.
Feel it, experience it, and let it course ur veins like a dug, and will dissipate as soon as it came. Problems arise when we try to ignore, cover up, or mask depression w/other vices..and suppressing those feelings only make them worse!
Eod, you will still be alive, and ur body's flight reflex will lesson over time.

@ThaRealness are you happy with your career/education or purpose in life?

I find when men are unhappy, they are unfulfilled in either their career/education, relationship with women, health, watching porn etc
Im not happy with any aspect of my life :heh:

I just want to apply my mind to some form of business/economics and make music

And I want to fukk dimes.

Will you look and come off as someone dwelling in depression for half a decade or will you present yourself as someone who's been locked away fine tuning everything about themselves.

Always work through it. Nothing else you can do breh. Men are meant to feel incomplete until we master ourselves and accomplish our purpose.

Don't dwell. Dwelling fuels depression. When you catch yourself dwelling, hit a workout, read a book, work on your business, read some positive material.

When you do have to meditate, recognize and embrace the pain...accept it and then direct your thoughts towards what you can DO to change it.

Alot of depressed people are procrastinators living below their potential. And we deserve to be tormented when we are wasting life. Fight back

they are actually coldly rational about everything...

a positive of dealing with depression is that in a crisis i maintain my baselevel deadpan look and just deal with the problem at hand.

having a deadened emotional response is actually beneficial in some situations.

dealing with panic attacks/anxiety has helped as well oddly enough... when a shyt thing happens people that don't experience anxiety, that might be the first time their body is physically acting like that. but when you've been talking yourself down from panic attacks for years, when an actual stressful situation happens i've found that it's very easy to deal with.

almost as if my body is saying "oh THERE'S the danger we've been scanning the environment for constantly... " and some relief is felt.

op, i hope you feel better and i hope you can find some blessings in what you're dealing with. if anything it will give you a better understanding of yourself as you have to question your mind in ways that most people never have to. the weight people with mental illnesses have to carry strengthens us... when we go to the gym, we seek the heaviest weights to make our bodies stronger. these weights tear apart our muscles so they can heal and be better than they were before. mental illness is a weight on our brains, tearing our minds apart at times but if we push back against that weight we can becoming mentally stronger than we ever dreamed.

Yes, it's horrible. What's worse if you're in an environment that makes it worse where it's a fight just to do basic shyt. At home, it thrives. It's the norm for me to just not do shyt but sleep all day. It's horrible. This has been some routine for 20 years now. :picard: that shyt took away years from me and the potential to do a lot of good things. It sucks.
