I've said it a few times on here, but I battled depression and won. No meds, no doctors. I found the happiness i needed within myself. I changed how I viewed the world, myself and everything else followed.
Think I'm mentally depressed....

@FreshFromATL No Michael Sam but how is your body looking? Ive been a gym rat/avid jogger for the past 7-8 years and it really helps with my overall mental health. Exercise and feeling good about your outward appearance goes a long way. Exercise is hard tho. You have to be in a certain mindstate to go hard. You have to be motivated to do it or you'll quit

Hey real talk I was in the same boat, I was doing the same thing stuck in the same rut go to work and go home and repeat it all over again. I'm in the Air Force good job great position NCOIC of my shop and I felt depressed and bored with everything...It took me going to medical and getting checked out and long story cut short turns out I had a vitamin E and D deficiency. I know it sounds dumb But turns out that if your missing these two vitamins your body can't produce the necessary endorphins that your body needs. It happens to about 9 out of 10 people, the symptoms are severe depression, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, restlessness and in some extreme cases suicidal thoughts. So you might want to look into that.

Real talk though, keep your overhead low, don't handcuff yourself to a high priced lifestyle. This will give you freedom in life to change careers, travel, or just one day tell your boss to go fukk himself.Real thread. No bragging, just stating facts because I can't really understand why I'm not enjoying the fukk out of life.
shyt is crazy. I got what people would consider a great job, make almost 6 figures, got a nice car, stay in a nice place, got the latest of a lot of stuff, no kids, etc...
But I'm never really happy. Every day its like I'm just going through the motions. Get up in the morning, go to a place I don't really like (I'm the lone black dude in the department, the one sister is on some c00n shyt and the other blacks at the company are old), eventually come home, and just rinse, wash, and repeat. It's to the point where most of my happiness come from watching the Hawks win (please don't laugh).
Like I've literally been thinking to myself trying to figure this shyt out but I just don't understand it. Guess I'm trying to ask y'all how are y'all finding happiness in this world?
I've been thinking about getting back into the church maybe...

I hate to be rude but shut the fukk up. I'm depressed from real problems such as not making enough money. Worried about if I'll have enough food to last me the whole month or not. And I have to eat shytty food. Most of the time my menu consists of mixed vegetables and turkey hamburger patty and fukking water. I'm at a point in my life I don't know what the fukk I'm going to do if I don't get more money.

Stay strong. Just put one foot in front of the other. Small progress is still progress.
I had the same thing happen to me when I was a teenager. Was going to my dream school and doing great academically, playing college football, partying more than I ever had...and still depressed.
For me, it was a relationship with God that made the difference. That didn't end my depression forever - it came back a few years later, and I had to work a few things out between myself and God before the depression left for good 11 years ago.
For other people, there are different things.
Married people on average are happier than single people, but it has to be a serious, committed marriage.
People who go to church are happier than those who don't go to church, but it helps for the church community to e a loving, supportive one.
People who has a job or hobby that they feel is meaningful are happier than those who don't.
People who have close friends who they can confide in and who they will trust absolutely are happier than those who don't trust anyone.
Once you get out of poverty, more money doesn't have any real relationship with more happiness, so I'm not suprised that you're balling in the workplace and still depressed.

Feel ya breh except I'm working a shytty grocery job finally making 14 an hr after working here for 5 yrs. I give 500 a month to my grandmother to help her out since I live with her and money to my mom because she's been out of a job for nearly a year and is on food stamps. I don't drive or have a car so that cuts on expenses but I still pay for Uber, the train, bus etc. So it adds up. My grandmother is ill though and I don't she'll be able to care for herself so the house is probably gone and I will have to find somewhere to live with 8 grand in the bank in the Bay Area. I have no friends and my family are spending their money to take care of my gma plus their own shyt so I don't ask for anything.
When it comes to women I gave up because I failed the genetic lottery. 5'5", 190, not attractive, small dikk etc. I feel like a monster trapped in someone else's body. Idk brehs, like breh said I only get enjoyment from Falcons/Hawks winning and The Flash/Arrow TV shows but since all those are done I really don't do anything else but jack off, play ps4 or surf the web and go on here. I don't wanna go back to ATL because everyone I knew is gone or don't fukk with me no more so I'm basically a stranger in my own stomping grounds. shyts fukked

Keep your head up breh. The best things in life are free. Don't think for a second anyone is problem free. Everybody has their own challenges.
