So how do you deal with depression and sadness, Yea Forums?
I always go to bed and wake up at the same time. Before bed I have a half hour of prayer, scripture reading, psalm recitation, and hymns. After I wake up I do a half hour of the same. When I have time, I do another half hour at noon. I used to be depressed and focused on suicide and death, now my soul is sheltered under the wings of the Almighty. Now I dwell on thoughts of life and hope and redemption and divine, everlasting joy. Thanks be to God!
bottle it up inside so it can fester into a mental illness.
Ignore negative feelings, no alcohol, no cigs, no drugs, life's pain is your own and confronting it is the only way to move forward from it.
Or if you can stop masturbating to loli and shota this
Regular diet and sleep patterns. I don't even exercise. Was on the brink of suicide for years, just didn't have the means and too stupid to tie rope. Got broke and couldn't afford good tasting food so I cut all the bullshit sugary foods out and buckled down on a job. Lo and behold, I'm good now.
OP here, I guess the thing is that I actually got out from a very bad phase in my life recently; and in a sort of way I'm still depressed and sad because I realized I actually had to suffer through it. I don't want this shit with me anymore, when will it go away?
When you stop pursuing the desires of the flesh and repent to God. That's the only way you'll be able to restore the alignment between you and restore the covenant. Fortunately, God is very merciful.

>read books, listen to podcasts that increase your knowledge on a subject you are interested in
Consuming entertainment is ok too but not if its the only thing you do
>learn about another [white] culture
>enjoy nature
>realize buying products won't make you happier but using your money to experience more could though
>have genuine relationships with your family and friends, and the opposite sex too
If you have a problem you need to confront it and be honest with yourself about how to deal with it. If you need therapy it doesn't make you weak, it's ok to talk about it
Probably when you become financially stable. I'd say 50000 in savings and investments, a mortgage at least 80% paid off and a job with a pension and good insurance is when you will stop feeling existential dread. The main reason why people are stressed when it looks like they have it all is because they don't, they have it on loan and the knowledge that it can be taken away from them in an instant is what causes the malaise.
Good advice. Priests are also provide free (or very cheap) therapy to anyone who needs it.
