Only religion can user

Pills cure depression like painkillers cure a broken bone.

No, but it helps you not to neck yourself even with depression.

too true

No
It works as a way of escapism for some minutes but doesn't cure it

yes

It can surely make it bearable to live with it.

It does the opposite.

Anime drove me further into depression

There's only one manga who can cure it: Dragon Ball. Everyone who watch this show is inevitably going to gym, where he becomes a fit MAN, with bros and bitches.
That being said, DBCHADs never go into depression to begin with.

If it could, how would Yea Forums still exist?

There's no need for snacks.
The rest is spot on, though.

No but it can help you ignore it.

That's either a lot of projection, or a lot of denial you've got going on there bruv.

Watching anime on pills does.

It haven't cured mine.

A rock hard dick does a better job, especially for a sad goddess just wanting to feel special inside.

Stay depressed!

yes,
I cure my depression with cgdct,
However I realized that I become addicted to Yea Forums shit posting and spend like 10 hours per day for Yea Forums boards.

If it did I wouldn't still be here

This sound totally like me except that i'm still depressed

Anime got me into drawing and writing somehow, and that helped getting out of subhuman-ness, having a goal and something creative to do. I'd encourage anyone to pick up a pen to do whatever.

I swear watching EoE exacerbated my depression for a while. No idea why

If anything, it exacerbates it.

This, anime will only make your depression worse. From my experience at least.

You see all of these shows with people living their lives to their fullest, having fun, making love, being beautiful.

It's really hard sometimes.

How come? And how exactly did the healing process work?

post some faggot

>not channeling the feels Eva gives you into bittersweet melancholy

depends on the anime. some shows make me sadder than i already am, others make me happy. if i get into a series i really like that gives me something to be happy about at least.

I am not depressed
I am angry as fuck
Grow some you pussy

have sex

You can only keep the real world away for so long.

Felt like shit after 10 hours of repetitive work yesterday, then played 4 hours of games that went fucking no where,the only thing that saved me was watching 3 episodes of new season anime. I'd say yes it helps.

I only have the "existential/religious ambiguity" part which is negligible as i can just ignore it but i still feel sustained sadness, what gives?

Depression or "depression"?

This

I'm pretty sure it increases it

No it makes it worse.

Yes it can and it's great.

If you're the kind of person who needs anime to distract yourself from your depression you're already fucked forever. You will get distracted from time to time, you may even get temporarily inspired by some anime to improve yourself but you will give up and come back here again and again, there is no escape.

Considering how I watch way more anime when I feel like shit as opposed to when I feel a little less shitty, no.

ARGGGHHHH

opm s1 helped me snap out of one.

luckily im not depressed today, s2 would make me sudoku

No, only you can.

No, when you're depressed you're probably lacking the energy to even pick up shows in the first place.

Yea Forums isn't that fun for me anymore. When I was 18 I could sit here all day shitposting and getting in arguments, reading funny posts and having a blast. But I'm in my mid 20s now and over the past year or two it feels like I'm never finding what I'm 'looking for' here, whatever that is. Its just a numb feeling, and very rarely do I find a post that makes me laugh.

Depression isn't real

Nor is anime.

sounds like me

it won't cure it but distractions help. one of the worst things about depression is that you always know it's going to be back. but you just gotta live with it.

get off Yea Forums then? pick up a new hobby

>the majority of the anime community is comprised of socially awkward shut-ins that seek escapism in an industry that churns out softcore porn every couple of months that panders to shallow and unfulfilling tastes
Idk you tell me

idk i'm generally pretty indifferent. but i felt pretty good while lying on my bed, hugging my stuffed waifu of 8+ years and listening to songs like "heaven cascada radio edit" earlier today...

If anime could cure depression this board would look very different. If you're referring to depression as an illness (AKA clinical depression) then it's not something you can just get over. If you have that problem seek professional help. If you refer to depression as a state of mind, then anime is no more helpful than any other thing that you can reflect on to get better.

Watching K-On! for the first time helped me with mine.

Yes, but in moderation. You need to do other stuff as well, especially stuff involving human interaction (once in a while). Also sleep well, eat well, drink water, and go to the gym.

I've been trying but nothing really clicks. I look forward to going to sleep because its an escape from being bored

>go to the gym
yikes, stopped reading there

Senko-san anime made depression even worse

Idol anime are the only known cure for depression.
