Why am I sad for no reason anons? It can start from the moment I wake up or I will be feeling happy/neutral one moment then I suddenly get a wave of sadness and lose motivation to do anything for anywhere from a few hours to the rest of the day. It can be triggered by an unpleasant thought or just appear for no reason.
>Inb4 go outside loser faggot
I exercise outside regularly but it doesn't help me feel better either in the moment or later on in the day. When I spend time with friends I feel better but start feeling this way again only a couple of hours after. I thought it might be depression but that lasts for like 2 weeks on end but this lasts for 2 days at most.
You have a chemical imbalance and need medication to adjust it. Waves of depression for no reason is that chemical imbalance kicking in.

Stop masturbating and quit porn

This and then supp zinc, lecithin, magnesium, chromium and stop eating within 3 hours of going to bed.

Okay, hun. OP don't listen to this ItWorks/whateverMLM scheme faganon. Go to a dr. Your problem, like the first user said, is just a chemical imbalance that can probably be fixed with a low dose of a harmless medication. Be sure to do research and be completely honest with the dr. Don't be afraid to tell his if you think the dose is wrong, that a certain medication isn't working, or anything you worry about. You don't have to feel this way and it can definitely get better for you Yea Forumsro.

Thanks for the advice and support anons. I'm currently seeing a therapist and she said that she doesn't think I'm suffering from clinical depression, but that was before I started telling her how I've actually been feeling the things I said in this thread instead of just saying I feel fine so that may change. I am on the waiting list to see a psychiatrist for other mental health issues, but I'll bring up the things I said in this thread so maybe I'll get medication for that too.
I agree I should watch less porn, but everything else you said is bullshit
Only in the short term
Daniel Moore
Good for you user. Don't be afraid to be 100% honest with the therapist. Your general practitioner can supply you with anti depressants also though trying to get into a psychiatrist is a great idea. With what you are describing just a low dose mood stabilizer is probably all you need. And remember that we all need a little help sometimes and there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for it.
James Smith
Chemical imbalance theory of depression is outdated.
Nicholas Hall
Maybe you are just sad user?
Why medicalise it?
Justin Rodriguez
This user is pretty much right, it is just not used as an explanation anymore. It used to be used because it was a super simple way of explaining a complex issue to uneducated patients. It is now out of fashion to explain it in this way because it is incredibly over simplified and leads to an incorrect understanding of the issue.

Why be sad?
Angel Peterson
I don't really want to ask my GP since she is kind of a dick to me and I don't think she'll understand or she'll think I'm making a fuss over nothing. It may also end up being more serious that it appears so I think I'll wait until I see my psychiatrist. Thanks for the encouragement, it can be hard to tell the truth but I'll do my best.
When you feel sad you usually know why (injury, someone said something that made you feel bad etc.), but this doesn't really have a cause besides thinking of a negative memory, and sometimes it's for no reason at all.
Well I guess I'll just have to keep speaking to professionals to get to get a good understanding of what's causing this.

>Well I guess I'll just have to keep speaking to professionals to get to get a good understanding of what's causing this. youre on the right path user. it is a pain in the ass getting into psychs nowadays (at least where I am there is a huge shortage of them) but hang in there! remember there are a lot of resources for people who need help so even if you feel alone remember that there are people who care. Even among Yea Forumstards like us.

Sometimes people are sad due to the environment surrounding them, the things they do or don't do, and the people in their lives too. But they are unwilling to see that or make the difficult decision to change those things. It's easier to just say they are sad for no reason.
If it's triggered by specific memories, then it is usually trauma related, which means it is usually either a personality issue or complex trauma. And the only way to help in those cases is to learn to deal with the problems and memories.

You are sad because the earth is dying and you are a part of the earth.

pillars of support enable you to enjoy life. diet, exercise, relationships, sleep.
if you don't feel good, see if you are neglecting one of these four things.
a multivitamin is incredibly cheap for the utility it provides. i certainly don't eat a perfectly balanced diet, and i definitely don't get all the vitamins i need in a day. even if i piss out the majority of them, it costs literally pennies a day to make sure i'm covered.
Carter Barnes
Its because you spend all your time doing normie things you heard would help you think/feel better i.e. innanet/frens/fit and you spend all the rest of your time sitting at home/school/work and you dont experience anything new or even try to get outside the box at all Youre bored, stupid
Asher Russell
By certain memories, I mainly mean by remembering mistakes I made or opportunities I wasted, not really trauma related stuff
I have been getting quite depressed reading about everything that's happening, but I've been feeling this way long before I was completely aware of the state of the world

My diet is ok. Not great, but ok. Everything else is pretty shit but getting better. I hope that I feel better if I fix it, but I have a feeling that the problem goes a bit deeper than that.
I'll try those to see if they help
I've tried multiple hobbies and they worked for 2 weeks max before I stopped enjoyed them completely, and I still felt sad while doing them.

-fix your sleep cycle. go to bed and wake up at the same hour. find out how many hours do you need. don't oversleep.
-fix your diet. less sugar. more healthy fats. eat less.
-exercise; wich you have covered apparently
-have meaningful social interactions. call an old friend. visit family. get closer with positive people around you. but don't bring your dark cloud. nobody likes a negative person.
-chose a goal that benefits not only you but someone else. work every day towards it.
-fix your personal appearance. shower often. dress better than you are dressing right now. take yourself seriously.
-have sex often if you can. if not, stop watching too much porn. is fucking up your brain.
-get richer than you are. being poor is a heavy burden. I am not saying get rich. if you want to, that's fine; just don't be poor.
-you have to let go of the things you love and that you know are holding you back. that thing you like the most, and that you know is not good for you. you need to sacrifice that.
-do things now. thinking is not doing. talking about it is not doing. planning is not doing. analyze things for sure, but pass to action asap.
-nobody is going to help you. you have to do it for yourself. good luck.
Hobbies dont make your life happier user Neither does any of that other shit i listed Surely you have some crazy dreams youd just love to do right? Well, time to start shooting for the stars dude I mean, unless what you really like is being unhappy and unfulfilled. Then just get on the happy pills like everyone else and continue being plain
