Killing yourself would be a good start

you can't, you just find a way to live with it.

you dont cure, you put it in remission. you will always be at risk. a healthy lifestyle is key. it sounds bullshit but this is it.
sports, diet, sun, rest, not excesses (as in dopamine spikes)

for acute symptomatic treatment, many options are available, depending on symptoms

but that kind of lifestyle seems boring as fuck. I would get burned out in one week

diet and exercise

pretty much what this dude said lifestyle is all it is

I think it's not that easy. I've tried to exercise and eat healthy but it had nearly no positive effects

by being reborn into a more fitting vessel and surrounds
suicide is, according to Pali canon, one of the fastest and surest ways to be reborn

nice. If I have to kill myself, first I will do something big.

it is boring
because you're a loser not enjoying your life
if you don't enjoy your life, then no matter what you do you won't enjoy it
focus on that
be a dick if its the only way to shed of the bullshit enclosing you into this life you don't appreciate

What kind of depression? What do you feel? Just don't care about anything, or anxiety as well, did you have a trauma? It depends on a lot of things. Me not an expert, also have depression, but more or less learned how to handle it.

yeah pretty much. I only enjoy partying and playing videogames lmfao. I dont see a future in that.

then you should know that depressions that last more than a couple of months, become chronic

what said

Checked.
>for me I grab my favourite cat ears, trusty ball of yarn and go in search of a mythical unicorn ;).

I feel really anxious a lot of the time and overall really in a bad mood. I had a very big academic opportunity last year and failed miserably. Had one last chance this year and I'm also failing. Probably will get kicked out. Also only 1 or 2 friends, no gf...

if that solves it for you, I'm happy user.

As someone who has overcome depression to a great degree, heed my advice:

1. Avoid hospitals, and don't talk about killing yourself except to a therapist who knows you're just talking about feelings of despair and not actually planning on killing yourself. Hospitals will turn your depression into PTSD fast.

2. Do seek therapy, insofar as you can afford it. The most successful therapy for me has been a form of therapy called ETT or Emotional Transformation Therapy, but I've also benefitted from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to a lesser extent.

3. Don't rely on therapy to fix everything. Therapy will help you cope with lingering trauma so that you have the emotional energy to do what helps the most with depression.

4. When you have the energy and aren't constantly depressed (see step 3), take care of yourself. Feed yourself. Take responsibility for things in your life, and seek some form of meaning. Don't read too much into the 'meaning' of your existence, just make things meaningful to you. For most people, a little bit of responsibility gives them meaning. (e.g. Take care of a plant. Water it every day, and look at the result of your work as fostering life and beauty.)

Practice steps 3 and 4, and conduct yourself with the posture of a competent person. You will find that enjoying life becomes easier.

Side note: I also highly recommend the psychological advice of Jordan Peterson, available for free all over YouTube. Good luck, user.

Anxiety is often a symptom of an introverted personality. Try to extend your comfort zone slowly. Might be hard at first, but it works. And do your stuff step by step, if you decide to try sg. don't expect much results soon. Eg. someone told me, that I should put a candy next to my bed each day. For about a month I have a reason to start the day like everyone else, because waking up is not pointless. But I suspect you're smart enough to solve the problems, you just need to identify them correctly.

I got divorced then depression hit me for about 3 days straight...felt like I was nothing, I have nothing, I didn't want to do anything...Something clicked in me on the third day where I said...shower. get ready cause you need to love yourself today....after that I hooked up with a random person, fucked and told myself I can do better...I am better, I love myself every morning...Look at yourself in the mirror and say I Love myself, I appreciate myself and I need to take care of myself...You have to love yourself always..But this is what my experience was at that time...

Thank you so much. I will try to follow this advice and look at Jordan Peterson videos. Thanks once again user.

I think I already kinda identified them but I'm not sure that I have enough time to solve them. Also the candy next to bed thing is a pretty cool idea.

Do stuff you like desu

Idk how the fuck to love a complete failure.

I meant the problems that are might be the reason of the anxiety, that are not always the same that you told. For example I've noticed that I fuck up the things around myself, because I couldn't forgive myself.. well sg.

what does sg mean?

you mean what was the "something"?

according to my psych, a large cocktail of meds taken throughout the day, daily, for the rest of your life.

yeah
