how to overcome depression and anxiety?

Given this will be discussed, I've moved this thread from The Lounge to Serious Discussion.

It's going. Kind of in a strange spot in life right now. Kind of sucks but I try not to think about it. Honestly I take meds for my anxiety and depression, so might look into that. Distracting yourself with games or whatever it is you like to do is a good way to keep your mind off of it. Then there's also places like this, where you can get stuff off your chest and mind. There's hope, you just gotta do a little work to get there it won't just happen out of no where sadly.

Very well written, and solid simple advice. G

Do something , even simple things like make your bed when u get up.. walk or exercise......eat better.....sleep....try and get a routine down.

I overcame depression by simply no longer believing in it.  It sounds stupid and I don't know how I can fully explain it but I guess you could say I kind of self hypnotised myself?

I was doing very well for myself I started going to the gym got very strong was smashing PR after PR

Made new friends who taught me some Portuguese and Russian. But it seems like it all came crashing down. I got injured very badly to the point where I can't train. I couldn't even walk at one point some friends left some stayed and now here I am slowly recovering. I think once I'm back at 100% I'll never take anything for granted ever again and I'll truly appreciate the little things.

Tldr


In short I don't know where this puts me. Kinda good kinda bad.  But I guess I'm now just taking life one step at a time.
I'm going to give my all and see where life takes me.

Not stupid sounding at all. The times I just snapped out of it and just self corrected, lost count on those. This is life , we get going and going, then a derail, and you sound very solid mentally and physically, you will bounce back and learn from this. It's life, the Rollercoaster we ride and playing the hand we are dealt. Just finish the game!

Good stuff and good times! G

I'd recommend keeping yourself occupied, doing what you enjoy. If you don't enjoy what you're doing, try something new. It's important to know the difference between depression and sadness. Life has its ups and downs and you're going to deal with them differently, sometimes better or worse. Family dying, losing a job, stuff like that hurts for everyone. Depression is different in the fact that your baseline will be much lower overall and there's no shame in seeking help.

Keep yourself engaged bud and talk with a close friend about your mental state and your situation

Good in many ways and bad in others. I am still single at an age where I could have adult children almost. I'm almost done with my bachelor degree and have a grad plan. I'm getting a promotion at work soon. I have a side business with good income alone plus my new job.

I'm very busy but can travel/see the sights/enjoy nightlife with by business. I work every day.

I am not from my current city and lost my social group a long time ago. I don't date but occasionally find an easy chick to screw or tip for release. I am definitely not ugly but the BS from women is so off-putting that I don't want to deal with most. Business arrangements are honestly preferable and I'm considering just becoming a donor or breeding and fleeing to reproduce.

I'm in an inescapable hole of debt and essentially homeless, I've aged 10 years in the past 2, and have next to no relationships in my life
