Being a pussy is another thing. Having a shitty life doesn't make people depressed. You see guys like Jordan Peterson that actually suffered from chemical imbalances, and they talk about how personal responsibility and purpose is what makes people truly happy. We need to listen to guys like that
Add a complete lack of empathy for anything in a large number of people in society (see comments for examples) As well as a growing number of sociopaths in positions of authority......
@@onespeeddan6803 the reason I say that having a bad life doesn't cause depression is, because suicide rates have gone up, but quality of living has gone up as well. Life has gotten easier for people, so they are trying to find reason to feel sorry about themselves. When you play the victim, you become sadder, not depressed. Suicide rates are lower in 3rd world countries, because they are to busy worrying about eating to stay alive, rather than complaining aboutstudent loan debt
I quit watching the news. It’s such a waste of time and causes so much unnecessary stress. If something is important I will be informed on it. And I set 20 minute time limit on Instagram. I keep Snapchat cause it’s how I communicate with my friends
Doing this too. I feel like there’s almost a withdrawal period. It’s like when you’re surrounded by noise and all the sudden have silence... the peace is almost painful. It’s hard to know what to fill the empty moments with when you no longer brainlessly scroll.
@@StilljustHelenafter doing this for a few weeks it’s not easy. I tend to ignore the time limit and continue to use it. It’s a serious problem I’m working on. I ignore it just to see if I have texts on Instagram and end up scrolling through my feed
@@jake4297 agreed! It’s good to be informed but more than half the time News is just he said she said gossip. It makes you feel like you’re learning but is really just leaving you with questions and anxiety. It’s nice to know I’m not alone out here trying to give up social media. Next up... CZcams! Haha
We’ve created an unfullifing society. We’ve devalued having and raising kids ourselves, we have devalued face-to-face interaction, we’ve devalued relationships, we’ve increased consumerism and celebrity culture and narcissism all of which are unfulfilling
@Boga Destroyer thats a myth i literally smoke it everyday damn near all day whenever im off it personally im fine. your acting like weed is some heavy drug where it makes u feel like shit lol naw thats alcohol or ecstasy weed isnt even physically addictive like that only mentally its very rare that someone has symptoms like that.
I remember growing up as a kid in the early 2000’s and loads of children were out and about playing football, tag, building dens, treehouses etc....In 2022 you hardly see any of that. It’s so sad.
People’s expectations of life are often way too high. So many are convinced they are going to be rich & powerful. When it doesn’t happen their ordinary life isn’t enough.
So many are told to change their life. Become rich and dont work for anyone. Be your own boss. Be like your fav celebrity or CEOs. But the system doesn’t work that way. So people get depressed when they failed to live up to expectations
Amen. I have had so many jobs I hate and I always tell people - wanna know how to live forever? Hate your life and every day will feel like an eternity.
Because so many people struggle to find their passion in life and when they do it's hard to get into as a career. Most people work boring, mundane jobs and sell their souls just to pay bills. Coupled with that most people are in unhappy relationships/marriages.
You nailed it. If you work at soulsucking job, nothing will make you happy. Modern corporate job culture destroys even prevoiusly fun careers, like programming.
@@joesr31 why is that? job can be fulfilling and productive. If employee likes his job, he will do it better. But corporations don't give a shit about employee's feelings
@@ubobcat sure there are, but imo, the quantity of those kinds of jobs are low. Most jobs are shitty, no matter how good things are, it is still a shitty job. For example, garbage disposal, data entry etc, no matter how you sugar coat the jobs, its still shit. The company knows that and that's why they need to pay in order to entice people to work. For fun and interesting jobs, they are often accompanied by a low pay unless there is a sudden change in the demand/supply.
@@joesr31 you right about most of the jobs being shit. But some jobs, like programming, were fun before. Then SCRUM and other corporate bullshit made it as shitty as any other office jobs. They just trying to make every employee on every role miserable, but it doesn't have to be that way
It took a pretty radical step to get me out of years of depression. Literally threw myself in the deep end, moved to the other side of the world and got random jobs to support myself, feel more independent. Made me more confident in myself and abilities and it was just a knock on effect from there. It worked for me but for others I could see it going the other way and make them feel even more isolated.
I’m in a situation where I gotta do some dangerous shit. Just force myself out of my comfort zone and learn how to fly on the way down. Be more independent. I’m tired of staring at the walls in my parents basement. Just have no purpose at the moment. Thanks man
Glad it worked out for you, but since everyone's depression is different, everyone's solution is also going to be tailored to themselves. I also threw myself to the other side of the world, and it helped a little bit but not much. I lift weights, have a job, am in a master's program, and do something social at least once a week, and I'm still depressed as fuck.
We're born, we go to school for a quarter of our life, we work for half of our life, for the last quarter we're old, sick and tired, then we die. That is life for many these days.
has it ever been different for at least 95% of all living people? Without a doubt nowadays the number of folks suffering is as small as it has ever been..
eomerqqq yeah all these people think it’s really hard right now, as if they don’t have more opportunity than almost everyone before them. Social media and the internet mess people up, but they just stay on it and complain instead of moving forward. It’s all backwards thinking
Yess! I think the lives of humans were likely so much simpler and blanced living in tribes and in nature. We’ve disconnected ourselves from everythig natural. In nature humans were surrounded by life, eating real foods, not all the processed crap people eat today with additives and preservatives. Now we’re surrounded by dead everything. :D
I’ve been fighting depression for a while and slowly working my way out. I used to think about how pointless life is and everywhere I went my mind would start looking for easy ways to kill myself, I hated how I felt. I’m still depressed some days but I don’t want to kill myself anymore. A huge factor that’s helping is my diet, I now eat like my body is a literal machine and I need only what’s best. Processed foods are gone. I started lifting weights and training for a 26 mile marathon, and I’m working on building a meditation habit. If you’re depressed, it’s no way to live and you deserve better. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and see how it makes you feel. Also fuck social norms, and fuck social expectations.
Diet, exercise, sleep, mindfulness/meditation/self-help, and staying off drugs and alcohol. Absolutely everyone who follows these rules WILL experience an improvement in their mood, 100% guaranteed
Now explain why people who live in absolute shitholes in Africa aren't depressed : genetics and they have higher testosterone which gives them better mood.. BOOM
@Cody Wilkie hold on. You most certainly can get depressed if you live in the third world. There is a reason why people there try to escape...big dreams, big goals...poor or rich, everyone has them.
True yes! Because the world is so fake now, too many people who care about pleasure mostly and are distracted by material things and have forgotten what is good.
It's a developed world problem. In less fortunate countries, people's purpose is still to find enough food to eat and to produce and raise children. They don't have time to think about what their purpose is... It just is.
You don’t feel depressed. Depression is constant. You might be sad, but if a person is depressed, then they are sad all the fuckin’ time and it feels like nothing will ever make you happy again.
@@eliaskjrbo8142 oh WOW, i didnt know that, depression is constant?!? thank you for saying that, so i just have what the original poster has, wow thank you so much for writing that man
I wrote a college paper on how an addiction to social media, and lack of time spent in actual nature is responsible for the rise of depression in our generation
@@tallon3925 And I oop. Nah but seriously tho, why u being such an ass, the dude just said he did something and u gotta be all negative and shit lmao. I'm just curious is all, I'm not even salty tbh
The main thing that fucks with me mentally is thinking about how fun life was when I was younger. Being the youngest child, all my siblings are now moved out and it’s just me and my parents. Miss those times when we were all togeather under one roof. If only there was a way to know when you’re living in the good times.
Yes you don't realize at the time that those years,I'd say from birth to about 15,are the best your life is ever going to get. You always think "I can't wait to grow up and be an adult". No no no,cherish every moment before responsibilities enter your life
Can I give you the secret now? You ARE living the good life now! Think about it, we live in the richest generation ever in the history of mankind, you are young, you have both parents to support you. You may have problems, of course, but that doesn't change anything. I bet that when you are in your 40s, and 50s you're gonna miss this part of your life. So the best we can do is appreciate it and be happy about it.
Ian Robinson ik I’m still young but when I was in 8th grade I hated it, but now that I’m in high school I absolutely hate it and I miss middle school so much
It’s a human sickness to pine for the past. It’s a psychological kind of self torture and serves no purpose. But it is not your fault it is the human ego and it is the same in everyone. It is neither right or wrong it is just unconscious spiritually speaking. I recommend reading The Power of Now and A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
Childhood trauma is large factor. Not having parents that are positive and supportive. Abusive parents that break their children's spirit. Bad people in the world, loss, loneliness, many factors are present to cause depression.
Agree but not always. Im been depressed half my life and had a great childhood and amazing parents. I am starting to wonder if some people are just genetically prone to have mental issues.
It doesn't even ends there. Recently I had this realization that most bullies or abusive people in general come from unrestrictedly loving homes (contrary to popular belief) It's a mind fuck when you notice Too Much Love creates monsters. Fucked up.
That's how it is for me. I 110% know that depression runs both sides of my family, more my mom side of the family (multiple members have committed suicide), my parents are loving but not emotionally the best when it comes to support and comfort since they where emotionally and physically abused through their childhood, so of course I have bad depression and anxiety, and to top it off I have thyroid problems. It's a lot to carry for almost 27 years of my life and the last couple of days I've been having really REALLY dark thoughts, like questioning my existence kind of thinking. As a whole of society though, I think we're all exhausted in every way shape and form.
@@Jess-Rabbit I'd rebut and say genetics can be a factor, but the time we live in is extremely stressful and extremely competitive, even though you can technically get anything if you work for it. we live in insanely stressful hyper-socially competitive time.
I was a fairly big basketball player in high school...for my area at least. Very muscular and handsome. It was right in the middle of the opioid epidemic, ( that our government, pharma companies, and doctors created), and I go to college and go through a very tough break up. I had smoked some pot and drank some, but had never tried pills. I was very depressed, and the first one I tried took all my sorrow away, and made me feel great. I also never had a hangover the first few months I was on pain pills. I was too young and naive to see down the road, and they were everywhere. 15 years later, and I have struggled with addiction every since...and look nothing like I did 10 years ago. Just thought this could possibly help someone younger who could potentially read this. Stay away from drugs...period!!
Thanks for sharing. It's hard living with what ifs, with regrets but I hope you find your way to realization that sometimes it's enough to be who you are, your own story. There will never ever be anyone like you.
I got into depression at my 15, last March started gradually decreasing the medication for 8 weeks (allowed by my doctor). Started feeling who i actually was. Im 30 now. But tbh im feeling going back to these last 15 years of sadness. Hope this right now is temporary. Hope i too can help someone with my story.
For me things are overwhelming. I am often struggling with having all aspects of my life on point at once. Temptation is also so great these days. Alcohol, drugs, porn, TV, the Internet, long working weeks, grades, video games, smoking, social media, shitty food everywhere. It's so hard to resist all of these at once it always seems like at least a few have got a hold on me at any given time. Simplicity is a concept of the past.
Do you exercise? I swear by it to promote a sense of feeling good with the release of natural endorphins. Not saying you have to run marathons but definitely something to add to a list of positive things that you can do.
herecomesthe crimsonchin you sound like an asshole, honestly. I bet you go around your house muttering, “no, I’m not lonely...I’m not lonely!” all the time while shaking your head vehemently.
Daisy you sound like an asshole. He just lost a bunch of meaningful things and he’s finding a way to manage it. What is he suppose to do? Play the victim and move backwards? He’s moving on. That’s a good thing.
@SK Hey bro seek some help bc at some point most of us have felt that way. Do better for you bc you deserve to lead a happier life no matter what other people say or think about you.
Extroverts will never understand how hard it is to be an introvert! The world doesn't agree with us, we need to break ourselves to be with the flow. Fuck!!
I never considered my self an extrovert or introvert, but a tend to be introvert more.. and if you want to be more extrovert, meaning meet people, just take initiative ask something, make conversation, take it as a challenge and conquer your fears.. is only a person like you, don't take life to seriously and if they are not into just move on.
I agree with Andrew Yang that we created "the most extreme winner-take-all economy in our history." The stress of not losing is constant and debilitating. Like death, it's always in the background in all we do. It doesn't take much to lose everything, and everyone knows they could be next. This constant stress on the body and mind leads to depression
Ever since facebook came live everything went downhill for sure. I remember the days before facebook. We had hyves and other things but life was much more mellow and playfull. Everything suddenly became a huge competition with no room for fun anymore. That’s one thing. And i believe our food get’s more fcked or something. It messes with your brain in some way. And telephones must transmit some frequency that dulls you down. I’m honestly guilty on all three. But i’m still able to remain very conscious which helps.
Because people know they are going to die and spending their precious time working hard asf for just enough money to live with basic necessities is not very fulfilling.
@@KallusGarnet just because things COULD be worse doesn't minimize how the original commenter, myself, and apparently many others feel. Life is shit with glimpses of happiness
I think it’s not so much that it’s hard as it is that it’s isolating. It’s also unnatural. I spent a lot of the day reminding myself to focus because it just doesn’t come naturally working from home
People are very blind clones sadly its the truth. And most will remain in that spot. If everyone learned 1913 then everyone would only hate a few people. It affects dumb people they also understand . They just dont have the mental power to understand that everything in history repeats itself. People are mad because 1913 but are to dumb to understand that. They will kill granny and rob 3 banks before believeing 1913 made them feel that way. Any bad thing in life is cause a rich asshole wanted to make money off war because he Couldn't create it fast enough litterally. Brothers if anyone has smarts they are going to be geneuinly depressed about 1913 and remember it if any bad thing happens.
Biggest cause of depression is expectations, not even high expectations but normal expectations like getting a decent job and being able to afford a life with family/kids. Baby boomers had this handed to them on a silver platter. Our generation is screwed, unaffordable housing, job scarcity/low wages/job insecurity. We’re missing the milestones society expects us to hit. Social media is cancer for the soul and everyone compares themselves to others instead of appreciating what they have. And most of us are so isolated from people and nature, we’re social animals and need a strong connection to both. The increasing political and global tensions arent helping either. We’re lost and confused as a generation
I agree up until socializing the reason people isolate is because of social rejection and the fact people fuck it up because we tend to talk to certain people. You can blame the brain for being so lazy in that department
Your generation isnscrewed because you are entitled. Baby boomers had nothing handed to them in a plate yet you truly believe that this is an injustice. I was born in 83 so am considered a millenial, i work hard, own a house and have £2k disposible income after all tax and bills. Jesus take responsibility for your own life
i live most of my childhood till my 20's in a rural area in the Philippines and I'm happy to say we didn't have this kind of problem maybe because we live a simple life.
YES! Gusto ko Philippines. I'm kano, lived most of my life in Alaska, a very wealthy state but has nearly the highest suicide rate in the world. The Philippines has the lowest. Balik balik Philippines for 30 years and Iove it there. Bayan ko. No longer as happy in Alaska. Pinoys are such nice people. Certainly not perfect but much preferred for me. And no cold winter. 😊
The greatest Jihad is to battle your own desires,to fight against the evil within yourself” -Prophet Muhammad Jihad literally means to struggle, struggle takes you out of depression

I asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I further asked, what is next in goodness?" He replied, "To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause it says to do jihad in a||ah cause not for yourself, its rubbish if u ask me
i personally was miserable in elementary schl i was bullied all the time an didnt know my passions or who i was as a person. for me personally the older i get the happier i get
People are time and money poor. 20 years ago you could sacrifice time for money and achieve things like buying a house now you have to sacrifice time or you wont have money to pay rent. Cost of living has gone up and quality of life has gone down
Yes. Noam Chomsky is useful to get this straight. Public Assets are being channelled into Private Hands...it is in the open ... and we are kept frantic and busy just paying the rent (even if you own your house - it has similar pressure).
Too right Ozzie. once you realise this you can make changes. Some cheap ass places to live in the world. Even in Australia if you head away from the coast. Just need to suss the career that enables this.
This applies to many. Not for me though. I have a chemical imbalance. Wake up with debilitating brain fog- headache, fatigue, fuzzy memory, zero motivation, zero happiness. Then I have panic attacks for no reason at any time of the day. No stressors. Just debilitating headaches, dizziness, flashes, etc. I have everything I could ever ask for in life. Can’t believe how blessed I am, but at the same time these illnesses have hindered me substantially. Be thankful if anything makes you happy.
and then when you get that "thing"...its cool for a while and then back to "now I want THAT"........repeat...repeat...repeat Get over yourselves people.
I remember years ago, a family friend was visiting. He was a psychologist. I asked him his view on depression, as one of our family members was taking Lithium for it at the time. His opinion was that there were 2 types of depression: one caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, that required meds, the other was caused by our thought process. He believed the latter was much easier to cure.
I have no real reason to be depressed. I have a good family, We're low middle class, not poor but not well off either. What makes me so depressed is essentially what life is. Spend all of your childhood in school. Yeah you make friends, But after grade school it's homework+projects+grades+social anxiety+stress. Our life's basically consist of "Get good grades and live a happy life!". But that isn't the case. We spent all this time in school, (Learn almost nothing that we need to. I don't even fucking know how to do my taxes, register a car, or get insurance. But I know the parts of a cell!) Just to either go to more school and get debt, or go work for the rest of our life's. If you're lucky enough to retire at a good age, with good money then you have a few years of enjoying life. We spent almost all of our life's working, and with work you get stress. Constant stress takes a toll on the body and mind.
@Rigid Anchor Despite the USA being materialistic, it is still a better place to live than almost every other country on earth except for maybe a small handful. Just imagine living in an apartment in Hong Kong, or living in Iran... That would be truly awful and very depressing
Rigid Anchor there will always be nice places in every country but there is a reason suicide rates are so incredibly high in over populated areas like HK, Tokyo, Seoul etc
Man it‘s your choice what to do in life. The school system and society kills all individuality in people, and because of this you have to educate yourself in how to live a meaningful life for yourself and not for anybody else. The tough thing in living for yourself is that there are times where you‘ll stand alone and you have to take the full responsibility for your decisions, but you get rewarded for that with a better feeling about yourself and your life
Depression is bad. Lost my homie to Depression in September 2019. He was young 25yrs old. Man I miss him. He took his life and he just turned 25 in August 2019. Sad to see and hurts to be a part of it. Never thought I'd be a guy that lost a loved one to it. Thought depression was fake and people made it up to get they $ from Gov and Pills for them. I know now it ain't bullshit this shit is real. Be sure to check on your loved ones, family, friends etc. Those you care about. Ask them if they ok how there life is. That means alot to those suffering from this disease. Though my homie is gone he wont be forgotten. Wish he spoke he didn't tell nobody. He left his wife and child here. Rip Rey C. 🙏
@JesDaBest Gaming I think part of the issue is that there is shame surrounding the label of being “mentally ill.” People have used the status as attacks on presidential candidates, and courts allow plaintiffs and defendants to be attacked with such labels which can end up swaying rulings. You can even be denied jobs based on the status of having a mental disability. I think people here blaming you for your loss are ignorant. They don’t know the full circumstances surrounding your friend’s troubles, and none of us really know what role or lack thereof you had in his life. What happened is between you and God man. I wish he found a way to keep marching forward, but even the strongest of us aren’t immune to succumbing to grief. It’s a very painful feeling being miserable every minute of your life, and not even knowing what exactly you’re living for; having nothing to look forward to.
What I've experienced from being aware of life since about 1977 (I was born in 1973) is that people have a lot less to do with each other. People don't visit each others houses, they don't get together and make music or sing. (Saying that, Taxi Driver was made in the 1970s, and that was about isolation and loneliness) Men and women are made to feel bad about being attracted to each other. Porn is ridiculous now and absolutely everywhere. Money has very little value compared to what it was - you got paid less, but you got more for it (milk being 5p a bottle etc). Everybody wants much more than they did. For decades it would have been considered ludicrous to want a very good car, if you weren't from that life. Basically, I think we're suffering because we're not being human. We're not connected to the earth or each other. I like what Elon Musk called the landing pad: "of course I still love you" And Of course I still love you
We’re disconnected from supportive communities, we’ve lost spirituality/religion which gives life common meaning and purpose, and we try and live independent lives that make everyone identical instead of tribal communities we evolved in, which valued everyone’s purpose and contributions. Isolation and lack of meaning is a huge huge part of this.
@ayy lmao religion could be a good thing, giving a mythology that explains How you live this way, but the problem is that people dont think they are mythologies, and they dont Focus on what is much more important.
Work 24/7, over-taxed, underpaid, everything's overpriced, high bills across the board. No freedom and having to listen on how to live our lives by a government that's incompetent, arrogant, lazy and corrupt.. makes you pretty depressed.
Jack not only do we exist. We thrive and create the world you see for Bette for worse. If you listened more to liberals maybe should would be better off.
DaBlueDonut no that’s not the point. I’m liberal but I have conservatives ideologies. The only message I wanna staying to convey is throughout American history it has been liberals who are pushing the county forward. Why? They spend more time studying and running trails at universities and other centers of learning. Look to the society found in Star Trek to see what liberal enlightenment will lead to.
Im ILLmatic yet Americans have been more depressed as we have “progressed”. And who freed the slaves? You can’t just say look at a made up universe to see what liberals will do...no that’s not how the world works
Because you can’t be honest and people don’t want to hear the truth. Society shuns people that have the balls to say things that other people are scared to say. Look at Facebook...if you post anything that is unpopular, people will unfriend you or comment that you shouldn’t be “negative”. The new mantra is to isolate people who are honest, and to only interact with people who always have to say the popular thing.
We are slaves to corporate America. I do not have the freedom to sleep in on a Monday morning. I must drive through rush hour traffic. I need to deal with people I do not like in the office. I will then die a few years after I retire. I do the best I can. 🎉
People have too high expectations of life due to social media. When their life doesn't live up to other peoples fake lives on Instagram etc they become depressed instead of enjoying and making the most of the life they live. Shit happens to us all, get over it.
Because we all grew up believing we’d be celebrities, rock and movie stars. We’re not going to be and we’re slowly realizing that fact .. and we’re pissed off.
Actually social media has made less inclined to be "famous". Celebrities have no privacy and their lives are not mysterious anymore. Everything has been cheapened by Instagram. I feel better off not having the spotlight on me.
As a former pill addict I can definitely agree that you don’t realize you have a problem because it starts to become a habit and also it’s prescribed so you don’t feel bad taking it, but with strong will power and better life habits and true friends support, you are able to leave it behind 💪
People are depressed because of: 1. Genetics 2. Trauma, bad childhood, unfortunate sequence of events that unfortunately snowballed 3. Wrong thinking, terrible thought process, unhealthy high amounts of expectations, and ego
1. Genetics don’t guarantee depression 2. Not everyone that experiences trauma in childhood has a terrible life - although the #1 risk factor for substance abuse and addiction is childhood trauma I think one of the most overlooked factors is diet. Eating a meal of shit food makes you feel like shit. Multiply that by 3 meals a day, 365 days a year, by however many years, it’s easy to see how it can add up.
ApeHead Obviously the points I highlighted are not absolute 100% likely going to happen, genetics being a random card game in general, and for childhood trauma, individuals may rise above their predicament, or that their trauma wasn’t “traumatic enough”. They CAN still be the cause of depression however. I agree as well about diet being a factor of depression. Eat like shit, and wonder why one feels like shit, physically and mentally.
Genetics no, it's all vitamin/mineral imbalances and hormones and chemical imbalances in the brain thanks to the things I mentioned above, taking niacin aka vitamin b3 and vitamin c in megadoses cures most brain diseases like bipolar, schizophrenia, adhd/add and more, also vitamin d, B12, b complex, copper and zinc, all diseases begins in the gut and that's what all these things is that all these people suffer from their birth then it just builds up from year and year, diet is everything, if you take a male for an example and run blood tests, it often comes to low testosterone thanks to deficencys in the things I mentioned and you also look at their diet with all depressed people and all depressed people have shitty diets, just a single lemon in water in the morning kills my anxiety and boost my mood to get shit done, just a single damn lemon
@@TheJimmyswe150 Late reply ik, but genetics definitely does play a factor, but it doesn't overall determine the end results of your state of mind. The reason for the hormone and chemical imbalance is a product of your genetic makeup from the time of your birth. This is not to say that your genetics overtime is not determined by outside factors, because it is. I hope to not sound arrogant, but I personally have never experienced any internal physical sickness out of nowhere, and to the great scheme of things, have never taken into consideration of my health. The only illnesses I've received are from my outside environment. 40% of an individuals happiness level is determined by genetics, while the rest is under our control. Life is what we make of it, and happiness is a choice :)
@@williambullen3031 yes genetics plays a huge role also, but that's just the thing, if my mother or my father was deficient or had hormonal imbalance or thyroid disorders, me as a child will get it too, it transfers
For me, "life" is what I'm actually doing and experiencing in this moment right now. If you define yourself by the past you have imprisoned yourself. People need to let go and take a clear look at what they're doing with the present moment.
Ok there Eckhart Tolle.. No one is the same it's way more complicated than that.. You dont know how I feel I dont know how you feel..I dont like the now when I feel like shit..learning to Accept is extremely difficult for a mind that doesnt stop
That's easy. We work to much. No time for friends, no time for family. Have to work weekends, have to work holidays. Pay the bills, live check to check. Sounds like a wonderful life!
Exactly And we ate brought up to just work are life away. That's it. Born to work for the government. Born to pay bills. Then die. That's all life is. It's depressing
I eat Tacos and burritos from a taco truck near my house literally everyday and the food is really good and feel more wholesome than eating fast food and I feel healthier
I'm paralysised since 2002 but I'm happy the way my life is leading because life is so beautiful!! Love and prayers to everyone who is watching this video and reading my comment!!! And don't get depressed guys there's a solutions for every problems!!
Theres a problem where everyone tells you you need this or that and be successful, its hard when theres so many options and you dont know what one is right
No matter how much technology we build or how much we evolve as a species and building different things that make us live outside of nature.....the cells of our body will always be screaming to escape to the place we created to be in...The Nature
You're right. Did you watch the Tyson Fury podcast? He achieves heavyweight champion then slides into self destruction and depression. The only thing to pull him out was the goal of returning to heavyweight champ again. The money that comes with it doesn't hurt either 😀
Life has always been unfair, but before the age of information young men could not watch a wealthy man have fun with hot chix on the other side of the planet.
I deleted my Facebook going on 4 years ago and never looked back, I've never felt better! I was constantly comparing myself to others, but now I genuinely only compare myself to my past self. Add Nofap and practice self discipline and do the things that you dont want to do, you will feel incredible.

Well, I'm glad that in high school I spent a lot of time outside walking home from school or in the backyard looking at trees and birds and getting lots of sunlight.
Because we only reward tough guys. and it's kryptonite to be nice (socially), so how are we going to be so nice to each other to bring each other out of depression, when that's another path to depression for the sole individual?
We’re all forced into a system that isn’t even designed to appeal to us as individuals. You literally get forced into having to “make something of ourselves” and half the time we’re out here doing things day-to-day that we honestly hate doing.
We are depressed because we are so isolated and have no idea why we are conscious beings. It is so incredibly weird that we are conscious instead of nothing.
I don’t really care if I wake up or not for the most part. Don’t get me wrong I’m not going to jump in front of a train or anything. I just don’t really care if I wake up or not. Don’t enjoy life and haven’t for a very long time. I also don’t use social media at all.
Might aswell make the most of it while your here. We'll all die soon anyway so do something that makes you happy. If you dont know what makes you happy search for it

@ajholcombe being unconscious is much more pleasant than being sentient. The darkness that came before birth and the darkness when you sleep without dreams just seems inherently blissful. Much better than life
Its all about how we decide to live as a society , i think things have gotten MUCH better than in the past where there WAS literally slavery . I thank my fellow humans that died to create the existence we all get to not appreciate today. I thank all those men and women who struggled to raise children in times of war to allow that child a decent life.
Yup. The default state is suffering, misery and rumination. The fact people tell you in response to this to find a purpose etc is testament to that, they are essentially saying find a compelling distraction from the default state. We come into this world kicking and screaming against our will, we already know.
Dude, slavery still exists. You can choose to be happy. I give zero fucks if you're in a career you don't like. It's allowing you to sustain your life so you can afford to move forward. I give zero fucks if you're in a bad relationship. BTDT, have the physical and psychological scars. Gtfo of it, move on. Americans live in the most free (for now) country in the world, a country teeming with resources and people willing to help others. People just don't want to put in work themselves, instead wanting nothing but instant gratification and coddling.
Depression has become more common because of comparing our life's with others life,be more thankful to what we have and work on ourselves , understanding this is simple but accepting is not .
ricardo diaz “others live their dreams” they appear to live their dreams on social media, behind the scenes it’s entirely different. People only show what is good in their lives on social media.
I used to be happy I had a good job friends I lived by the ocean and got lots of sun, then I got married and my wife wanted me to move to the uk. Now I’m depressed England is a dump
Bro there’s nothing to look forward to in life and reality, if you think about the most anticipated things are movies games, tv shows breakthroughs in virtual reality and everything that takes you out of this world. Even music. Hell the ps5 is nearly impossible to get because people just want to escape
So what you’re basically saying is that digital entertainments are the only things that make you look forward in life? Quite miserable way to live your life honestly. You got no friends? Family? Wife/girlfriend? Career?
Things are messed and we are so little that we cant do anything. This is the main reason why I can't get out of depression even if I am successful in a lot of spheres in my life. Life isnt hard for me, its just boring as shit. I no longer enjoy things I used to love. Like, memes back in the days made me laugh a lot, now the most I can do is giggle. I don't know, I am a point where everyone fears I kill myself but I don't really care because it would have been a well thought decisions. I have been thinking about it for years. I no longer care, when I talk about it I can even laugh because I no longer care. Cant be happy enough to enjoy life cant be unhappy enough to choose to kill myself in the near future. When I think at those things I am not even sad or have any emotions. There's nothing to do except just thinking about ourselves but I dont think it will work for me.
Alexandre Parent just leave it to god my friend. These things will change and how the world is today doesn’t mean it’s how it’s gonna be tomorrow or even a minute later. Be with god and god will make you happy, and all your dreams come true. I pray you’re forever happy, and all your dreams come true.
@@Happys_Art Yeah, if god even exists. I mean i would follow the "rules" if I knew at 100% I would. The problem with religions is that everyone think it holds the truth but only 1 will prevail or none. I do my best to make this world a better place without hurting people and I just hope someday I could be happy and go to heaven if it was well deserved. We will see, but I dont think that god exists but I hope it exists, I would love to be forever happy in heaven but I think its too beautiful to even be true. We'll see.
Alexandre Parent I'm truly sorry you feel that way, but I disagree with your statement. The world is of itself, it is own level, it can be compared to as being bad or good. There's good and bad in the world. There have always been terrible moments that happened in the world, either from having your candy being stolen in the playground, or from losing a loved one. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice.
I came here because I feel depressed It made me more depressed The fact that I secretly hoped for an easy solution from joe rogan made me even more depressed This is depressing

Being a pussy is another thing. Having a shitty life doesn't make people depressed. You see guys like Jordan Peterson that actually suffered from chemical imbalances, and they talk about how personal responsibility and purpose is what makes people truly happy. We need to listen to guys like that
Add a complete lack of empathy for anything in a large number of people in society (see comments for examples) As well as a growing number of sociopaths in positions of authority......
@@onespeeddan6803 the reason I say that having a bad life doesn't cause depression is, because suicide rates have gone up, but quality of living has gone up as well. Life has gotten easier for people, so they are trying to find reason to feel sorry about themselves. When you play the victim, you become sadder, not depressed. Suicide rates are lower in 3rd world countries, because they are to busy worrying about eating to stay alive, rather than complaining aboutstudent loan debt
Getting rid of most social medias, working out more, and refraining from watching the news has helped a lot for me personally.
I quit watching the news. It’s such a waste of time and causes so much unnecessary stress. If something is important I will be informed on it. And I set 20 minute time limit on Instagram. I keep Snapchat cause it’s how I communicate with my friends
Doing this too. I feel like there’s almost a withdrawal period. It’s like when you’re surrounded by noise and all the sudden have silence... the peace is almost painful. It’s hard to know what to fill the empty moments with when you no longer brainlessly scroll.
@@StilljustHelenafter doing this for a few weeks it’s not easy. I tend to ignore the time limit and continue to use it. It’s a serious problem I’m working on. I ignore it just to see if I have texts on Instagram and end up scrolling through my feed
@@StilljustHelen but stop watching the news helps a lot. I recommend it for everyone. We would all be a much happier and more peaceful society

Because so many people struggle to find their passion in life and when they do it's hard to get into as a career. Most people work boring, mundane jobs and sell their souls just to pay bills. Coupled with that most people are in unhappy relationships/marriages.
You nailed it. If you work at soulsucking job, nothing will make you happy. Modern corporate job culture destroys even prevoiusly fun careers, like programming.
True...but at the same time, if jobs weren’t soul sucking, companies would not have to pay people to be there
@@joesr31 why is that? job can be fulfilling and productive. If employee likes his job, he will do it better. But corporations don't give a shit about employee's feelings
@@ubobcat sure there are, but imo, the quantity of those kinds of jobs are low. Most jobs are shitty, no matter how good things are, it is still a shitty job. For example, garbage disposal, data entry etc, no matter how you sugar coat the jobs, its still shit. The company knows that and that's why they need to pay in order to entice people to work. For fun and interesting jobs, they are often accompanied by a low pay unless there is a sudden change in the demand/supply.
@@joesr31 you right about most of the jobs being shit. But some jobs, like programming, were fun before. Then SCRUM and other corporate bullshit made it as shitty as any other office jobs. They just trying to make every employee on every role miserable, but it doesn't have to be that way
It took a pretty radical step to get me out of years of depression. Literally threw myself in the deep end, moved to the other side of the world and got random jobs to support myself, feel more independent. Made me more confident in myself and abilities and it was just a knock on effect from there. It worked for me but for others I could see it going the other way and make them feel even more isolated.
I’m in a situation where I gotta do some dangerous shit. Just force myself out of my comfort zone and learn how to fly on the way down. Be more independent. I’m tired of staring at the walls in my parents basement. Just have no purpose at the moment. Thanks man

@@nealkhosla118 I get it, hope all is well.
Glad it worked out for you, but since everyone's depression is different, everyone's solution is also going to be tailored to themselves. I also threw myself to the other side of the world, and it helped a little bit but not much. I lift weights, have a job, am in a master's program, and do something social at least once a week, and I'm still depressed as fuck.

Yess! I think the lives of humans were likely so much simpler and blanced living in tribes and in nature. We’ve disconnected ourselves from everythig natural. In nature humans were surrounded by life, eating real foods, not all the processed crap people eat today with additives and preservatives. Now we’re surrounded by dead everything. :D

The sad, depressing irony of it all, huh?
I’ve been fighting depression for a while and slowly working my way out. I used to think about how pointless life is and everywhere I went my mind would start looking for easy ways to kill myself, I hated how I felt. I’m still depressed some days but I don’t want to kill myself anymore. A huge factor that’s helping is my diet, I now eat like my body is a literal machine and I need only what’s best. Processed foods are gone. I started lifting weights and training for a 26 mile marathon, and I’m working on building a meditation habit. If you’re depressed, it’s no way to live and you deserve better. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and see how it makes you feel. Also fuck social norms, and fuck social expectations.
Diet, exercise, sleep, mindfulness/meditation/self-help, and staying off drugs and alcohol. Absolutely everyone who follows these rules WILL experience an improvement in their mood, 100% guaranteed

Lack of Community. I trace everything to lack of community and support from friends.
The main thing that fucks with me mentally is thinking about how fun life was when I was younger. Being the youngest child, all my siblings are now moved out and it’s just me and my parents. Miss those times when we were all togeather under one roof. If only there was a way to know when you’re living in the good times.
Yes you don't realize at the time that those years,I'd say from birth to about 15,are the best your life is ever going to get. You always think "I can't wait to grow up and be an adult". No no no,cherish every moment before responsibilities enter your life
Can I give you the secret now? You ARE living the good life now! Think about it, we live in the richest generation ever in the history of mankind, you are young, you have both parents to support you. You may have problems, of course, but that doesn't change anything. I bet that when you are in your 40s, and 50s you're gonna miss this part of your life. So the best we can do is appreciate it and be happy about it.

It’s a human sickness to pine for the past. It’s a psychological kind of self torture and serves no purpose. But it is not your fault it is the human ego and it is the same in everyone. It is neither right or wrong it is just unconscious spiritually speaking. I recommend reading The Power of Now and A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
Childhood trauma is large factor. Not having parents that are positive and supportive. Abusive parents that break their children's spirit. Bad people in the world, loss, loneliness, many factors are present to cause depression.
Agree but not always. Im been depressed half my life and had a great childhood and amazing parents. I am starting to wonder if some people are just genetically prone to have mental issues.
And what happens to a child of a depressed parent
It doesn't even ends there. Recently I had this realization that most bullies or abusive people in general come from unrestrictedly loving homes (contrary to popular belief) It's a mind fuck when you notice Too Much Love creates monsters. Fucked up.
That's how it is for me. I 110% know that depression runs both sides of my family, more my mom side of the family (multiple members have committed suicide), my parents are loving but not emotionally the best when it comes to support and comfort since they where emotionally and physically abused through their childhood, so of course I have bad depression and anxiety, and to top it off I have thyroid problems. It's a lot to carry for almost 27 years of my life and the last couple of days I've been having really REALLY dark thoughts, like questioning my existence kind of thinking. As a whole of society though, I think we're all exhausted in every way shape and form.
@@Jess-Rabbit I'd rebut and say genetics can be a factor, but the time we live in is extremely stressful and extremely competitive, even though you can technically get anything if you work for it. we live in insanely stressful hyper-socially competitive time.
I was a fairly big basketball player in high school...for my area at least. Very muscular and handsome. It was right in the middle of the opioid epidemic, ( that our government, pharma companies, and doctors created), and I go to college and go through a very tough break up. I had smoked some pot and drank some, but had never tried pills. I was very depressed, and the first one I tried took all my sorrow away, and made me feel great. I also never had a hangover the first few months I was on pain pills. I was too young and naive to see down the road, and they were everywhere. 15 years later, and I have struggled with addiction every since...and look nothing like I did 10 years ago. Just thought this could possibly help someone younger who could potentially read this. Stay away from drugs...period!!

Like death, it's always in the background in all we do. It doesn't take much to lose everything, and everyone knows they could be next. This constant stress on the body and mind leads to depression
It is only stressing when you accept the lie that those who take are meritorious.

Biggest cause of depression is expectations, not even high expectations but normal expectations like getting a decent job and being able to afford a life with family/kids. Baby boomers had this handed to them on a silver platter. Our generation is screwed, unaffordable housing, job scarcity/low wages/job insecurity. We’re missing the milestones society expects us to hit. Social media is cancer for the soul and everyone compares themselves to others instead of appreciating what they have. And most of us are so isolated from people and nature, we’re social animals and need a strong connection to both. The increasing political and global tensions arent helping either. We’re lost and confused as a generation
Yes you hit the nail on the head. Separation from others and nature is a big part of it.
the increasing political and global tensions are a result of the other factors you listed...
I agree up until socializing the reason people isolate is because of social rejection and the fact people fuck it up because we tend to talk to certain people. You can blame the brain for being so lazy in that department
Your generation isnscrewed because you are entitled. Baby boomers had nothing handed to them in a plate yet you truly believe that this is an injustice. I was born in 83 so am considered a millenial, i work hard, own a house and have £2k disposible income after all tax and bills. Jesus take responsibility for your own life
Yeah.
i live most of my childhood till my 20's in a rural area in the Philippines and I'm happy to say we didn't have this kind of problem maybe because we live a simple life.
YES! Gusto ko Philippines. I'm kano, lived most of my life in Alaska, a very wealthy state but has nearly the highest suicide rate in the world. The Philippines has the lowest. Balik balik Philippines for 30 years and Iove it there. Bayan ko. No longer as happy in Alaska. Pinoys are such nice people. Certainly not perfect but much preferred for me. And no cold winter. 😊
Did nobody have that problem, or did they just not talk about it?

High school was like that for me to, at least compared to how life is now, a lot more shit to deal with nowadays.

Yup
People are time and money poor. 20 years ago you could sacrifice time for money and achieve things like buying a house now you have to sacrifice time or you wont have money to pay rent. Cost of living has gone up and quality of life has gone down
This is my life in a nutshell. I work 12 hour days and barely get by.
But we’re got cool phones!
Yes. Noam Chomsky is useful to get this straight. Public Assets are being channelled into Private Hands...it is in the open ... and we are kept frantic and busy just paying the rent (even if you own your house - it has similar pressure).
ozzie bloke lol you can still do that now. Work hard and save money you can buy a house jackass
Too right Ozzie. once you realise this you can make changes. Some cheap ass places to live in the world. Even in Australia if you head away from the coast. Just need to suss the career that enables this.
This applies to many. Not for me though. I have a chemical imbalance. Wake up with debilitating brain fog- headache, fatigue, fuzzy memory, zero motivation, zero happiness. Then I have panic attacks for no reason at any time of the day. No stressors. Just debilitating headaches, dizziness, flashes, etc.
I have everything I could ever ask for in life. Can’t believe how blessed I am, but at the same time these illnesses have hindered me substantially. Be thankful if anything makes you happy.

and then when you get that "thing"...its cool for a while and then back to "now I want THAT"........repeat...repeat...repeat Get over yourselves people.
I remember years ago, a family friend was visiting. He was a psychologist. I asked him his view on depression, as one of our family members was taking Lithium for it at the time. His opinion was that there were 2 types of depression: one caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, that required meds, the other was caused by our thought process. He believed the latter was much easier to cure.
I have no real reason to be depressed. I have a good family, We're low middle class, not poor but not well off either.
What makes me so depressed is essentially what life is.
Spend all of your childhood in school. Yeah you make friends, But after grade school it's homework+projects+grades+social anxiety+stress. Our life's basically consist of "Get good grades and live a happy life!".
But that isn't the case. We spent all this time in school, (Learn almost nothing that we need to. I don't even fucking know how to do my taxes, register a car, or get insurance. But I know the parts of a cell!) Just to either go to more school and get debt, or go work for the rest of our life's. If you're lucky enough to retire at a good age, with good money then you have a few years of enjoying life.
We spent almost all of our life's working, and with work you get stress. Constant stress takes a toll on the body and mind.
Rigid Anchor and the sad thing is America is the one of the best places to live on earth and its still shitty...
@Rigid Anchor Despite the USA being materialistic, it is still a better place to live than almost every other country on earth except for maybe a small handful. Just imagine living in an apartment in Hong Kong, or living in Iran... That would be truly awful and very depressing
Rigid Anchor there will always be nice places in every country but there is a reason suicide rates are so incredibly high in over populated areas like HK, Tokyo, Seoul etc
Wade Wright facts man
Man it‘s your choice what to do in life. The school system and society kills all individuality in people, and because of this you have to educate yourself in how to live a meaningful life for yourself and not for anybody else. The tough thing in living for yourself is that there are times where you‘ll stand alone and you have to take the full responsibility for your decisions, but you get rewarded for that with a better feeling about yourself and your life
Depression is bad. Lost my homie to Depression in September 2019. He was young 25yrs old. Man I miss him. He took his life and he just turned 25 in August 2019. Sad to see and hurts to be a part of it. Never thought I'd be a guy that lost a loved one to it. Thought depression was fake and people made it up to get they $ from Gov and Pills for them. I know now it ain't bullshit this shit is real. Be sure to check on your loved ones, family, friends etc. Those you care about. Ask them if they ok how there life is. That means alot to those suffering from this disease. Though my homie is gone he wont be forgotten. Wish he spoke he didn't tell nobody. He left his wife and child here. Rip Rey C. 🙏

@JesDaBest Gaming
I think part of the issue is that there is shame surrounding the label of being “mentally ill.” People have used the status as attacks on presidential candidates, and courts allow plaintiffs and defendants to be attacked with such labels which can end up swaying rulings. You can even be denied jobs based on the status of having a mental disability.
I think people here blaming you for your loss are ignorant. They don’t know the full circumstances surrounding your friend’s troubles, and none of us really know what role or lack thereof you had in his life.
What happened is between you and God man. I wish he found a way to keep marching forward, but even the strongest of us aren’t immune to succumbing to grief. It’s a very painful feeling being miserable every minute of your life, and not even knowing what exactly you’re living for; having nothing to look forward to.
@@UndertakerU2ber
I agree, except for the "God" part
Fucking dumbass imagine thinking that depression is fake how dumb do you have to be?
What I've experienced from being aware of life since about 1977 (I was born in 1973) is that people have a lot less to do with each other.
People don't visit each others houses, they don't get together and make music or sing.
(Saying that, Taxi Driver was made in the 1970s, and that was about isolation and loneliness)
Men and women are made to feel bad about being attracted to each other.
Porn is ridiculous now and absolutely everywhere.
Money has very little value compared to what it was - you got paid less, but you got more for it (milk being 5p a bottle etc).
Everybody wants much more than they did.
For decades it would have been considered ludicrous to want a very good car, if you weren't from that life.
Basically, I think we're suffering because we're not being human.
We're not connected to the earth or each other.
I like what Elon Musk called the landing pad: "of course I still love you"
And
Of course
I still love you

Great answer
We’re disconnected from supportive communities, we’ve lost spirituality/religion which gives life common meaning and purpose, and we try and live independent lives that make everyone identical instead of tribal communities we evolved in, which valued everyone’s purpose and contributions. Isolation and lack of meaning is a huge huge part of this.
@ayy lmao religion could be a good thing, giving a mythology that explains How you live this way, but the problem is that people dont think they are mythologies, and they dont Focus on what is much more important.
Loss of religion is it. No guidance whatsoever.
Because we've forgot how to be grateful for the little things in life

Work 24/7, over-taxed, underpaid, everything's overpriced, high bills across the board. No freedom and having to listen on how to live our lives by a government that's incompetent, arrogant, lazy and corrupt.. makes you pretty depressed.
Jack not only do we exist. We thrive and create the world you see for Bette for worse. If you listened more to liberals maybe should would be better off.
Im ILLmatic so "think what i think or go die" that sounds nice...
DaBlueDonut no that’s not the point. I’m liberal but I have conservatives ideologies. The only message I wanna staying to convey is throughout American history it has been liberals who are pushing the county forward. Why? They spend more time studying and running trails at universities and other centers of learning.
Look to the society found in Star Trek to see what liberal enlightenment will lead to.
The more the fuck ass government give the more they take
Im ILLmatic yet Americans have been more depressed as we have “progressed”. And who freed the slaves? You can’t just say look at a made up universe to see what liberals will do...no that’s not how the world works
Because you can’t be honest and people don’t want to hear the truth. Society shuns people that have the balls to say things that other people are scared to say. Look at Facebook...if you post anything that is unpopular, people will unfriend you or comment that you shouldn’t be “negative”. The new mantra is to isolate people who are honest, and to only interact with people who always have to say the popular thing.
We are slaves to corporate America. I do not have the freedom to sleep in on a Monday morning. I must drive through rush hour traffic. I need to deal with people I do not like in the office. I will then die a few years after I retire. I do the best I can. 🎉
People have too high expectations of life due to social media. When their life doesn't live up to other peoples fake lives on Instagram etc they become depressed instead of enjoying and making the most of the life they live. Shit happens to us all, get over it.

Fake food, fake friends, fake reality (social media) horrible job, horrible choices.
As a former pill addict I can definitely agree that you don’t realize you have a problem because it starts to become a habit and also it’s prescribed so you don’t feel bad taking it, but with strong will power and better life habits and true friends support, you are able to leave it behind 💪
People are depressed because of:
1. Genetics
2. Trauma, bad childhood, unfortunate sequence of events that unfortunately snowballed
3. Wrong thinking, terrible thought process, unhealthy high amounts of expectations, and ego
1. Genetics don’t guarantee depression
2. Not everyone that experiences trauma in childhood has a terrible life - although the #1 risk factor for substance abuse and addiction is childhood trauma
I think one of the most overlooked factors is diet. Eating a meal of shit food makes you feel like shit. Multiply that by 3 meals a day, 365 days a year, by however many years, it’s easy to see how it can add up.
ApeHead Obviously the points I highlighted are not absolute 100% likely going to happen, genetics being a random card game in general, and for childhood trauma, individuals may rise above their predicament, or that their trauma wasn’t “traumatic enough”. They CAN still be the cause of depression however.
I agree as well about diet being a factor of depression. Eat like shit, and wonder why one feels like shit, physically and mentally.
Genetics no, it's all vitamin/mineral imbalances and hormones and chemical imbalances in the brain thanks to the things I mentioned above, taking niacin aka vitamin b3 and vitamin c in megadoses cures most brain diseases like bipolar, schizophrenia, adhd/add and more, also vitamin d, B12, b complex, copper and zinc, all diseases begins in the gut and that's what all these things is that all these people suffer from their birth then it just builds up from year and year, diet is everything, if you take a male for an example and run blood tests, it often comes to low testosterone thanks to deficencys in the things I mentioned and you also look at their diet with all depressed people and all depressed people have shitty diets, just a single lemon in water in the morning kills my anxiety and boost my mood to get shit done, just a single damn lemon
@@TheJimmyswe150 Late reply ik, but genetics definitely does play a factor, but it doesn't overall determine the end results of your state of mind. The reason for the hormone and chemical imbalance is a product of your genetic makeup from the time of your birth. This is not to say that your genetics overtime is not determined by outside factors, because it is. I hope to not sound arrogant, but I personally have never experienced any internal physical sickness out of nowhere, and to the great scheme of things, have never taken into consideration of my health. The only illnesses I've received are from my outside environment. 40% of an individuals happiness level is determined by genetics, while the rest is under our control. Life is what we make of it, and happiness is a choice :)
@@williambullen3031 yes genetics plays a huge role also, but that's just the thing, if my mother or my father was deficient or had hormonal imbalance or thyroid disorders, me as a child will get it too, it transfers
For me, "life" is what I'm actually doing and experiencing in this moment right now. If you define yourself by the past you have imprisoned yourself. People need to let go and take a clear look at what they're doing with the present moment.

Well, I'm glad that in high school I spent a lot of time outside walking home from school or in the backyard looking at trees and birds and getting lots of sunlight.
Because we only reward tough guys. and it's kryptonite to be nice (socially), so how are we going to be so nice to each other to bring each other out of depression, when that's another path to depression for the sole individual?
We’re all forced into a system that isn’t even designed to appeal to us as individuals. You literally get forced into having to “make something of ourselves” and half the time we’re out here doing things day-to-day that we honestly hate doing.

Its all about how we decide to live as a society , i think things have gotten MUCH better than in the past where there WAS literally slavery . I thank my fellow humans that died to create the existence we all get to not appreciate today. I thank all those men and women who struggled to raise children in times of war to allow that child a decent life.
That's depression talking. Life can and should be fulfilling, and to blame our problems on existence itself is a disservice to ourselves
Yup. The default state is suffering, misery and rumination. The fact people tell you in response to this to find a purpose etc is testament to that, they are essentially saying find a compelling distraction from the default state. We come into this world kicking and screaming against our will, we already know.
Dude, slavery still exists. You can choose to be happy. I give zero fucks if you're in a career you don't like. It's allowing you to sustain your life so you can afford to move forward. I give zero fucks if you're in a bad relationship. BTDT, have the physical and psychological scars. Gtfo of it, move on. Americans live in the most free (for now) country in the world, a country teeming with resources and people willing to help others. People just don't want to put in work themselves, instead wanting nothing but instant gratification and coddling.
The reality of Life. And realizing ever minute that goes by you will cease to exsist

Things are messed and we are so little that we cant do anything. This is the main reason why I can't get out of depression even if I am successful in a lot of spheres in my life. Life isnt hard for me, its just boring as shit. I no longer enjoy things I used to love. Like, memes back in the days made me laugh a lot, now the most I can do is giggle. I don't know, I am a point where everyone fears I kill myself but I don't really care because it would have been a well thought decisions. I have been thinking about it for years. I no longer care, when I talk about it I can even laugh because I no longer care. Cant be happy enough to enjoy life cant be unhappy enough to choose to kill myself in the near future. When I think at those things I am not even sad or have any emotions. There's nothing to do except just thinking about ourselves but I dont think it will work for me.
