I woke up and didn't feel immediate depression and general anhedonia about existing!

Been around 4 months now that I've been battling the demons in my head (suicidal thoughts, crippling anxiety, lethargy, depression, hopelessness...) and I gotta say, today was a good day!!!


How y'all doing BHW?
 
today I learned a new word thanks.

anhedonia
/ˌanhɪˈdəʊnɪə/
noun
PSYCHIATRY
  1. inability to feel pleasure in normally pleasurable activities.

So if you feel anhedonia (nice meeting you), you can try: alcohol, weed, LSD, video games, hookers, dating, martial arts, gym, poker, running, walking in the street, watching a great movie, trolling forums, etc.
 
Great!! I am happy for you! It took me about most of my life to be in the place I am right now but I think I know how you feel from my own experience.

I hope your day continues to be good! I am just about to go to sleep (because I am GMT+9HR). Good night!
 
I am not a doctor but the best way to fight this is either (1) do things or (2) do new things or (3) challenge yourself.
I started eating better (losing weight) and going to bed before 11 PM, seems to be working.

I need at least 10 hours of sleep to be functional
 
Although I don't know you I'm really glad to hear this, a smile popped onto my face. Overcoming the sad part/period of your life it's really hard, some people don't get out of this but you did this like a champion. I'm wishing you long happy days with a lot of surprises.

Who knows maybe it will happen to me one day.
 
I did not sleep yesterday. Awake for almost 40 hrs now (hopefully, I will be sleeping like a rock tonight.. Fingers crossed). Still, I gotta say it was a good day. That's my status... :p

Dude, how are you functioning?!?! I would be so tired if I was awake for so long!!

amazing if this is all it took, but yeah sleep deprivation is never good - or a bad diet - 10 hours sleep I wish I could.
 
I won my 2nd depression with book called " Emotional Wellness (from Osho )
since then the depression phases was shorter and I can get through them without paralyzing for weeks eating shit, masturbating 24/7 :)

Do some exercise, may be some yoga.
It will be hard to start it, but do not motivate yourself.
I repeat don't get motivated. Be disciplined.
Even if you don't wanna do it, just get your ass up there.
I seriously recommend meditation, I practise mediation myself.
It gives you amazing results.
Cheers!

Yeah I kW. It was a holiday for us as it is a Saturday ( we work 5 days a week). So, not much functionality was needed from me. I am insomniac anyway so I sleep like 4 hours. Nothing crazy lol.

To cope with this I had 4 glasses of home made mead, two bottles of strong beer and 2 pegs of scotch till now. I think I will sleep today hahah.

On weekdays, I sometime feel like choking myself (only literally, I am a positive person lol) when it happens.. :(
 
I am very happy for you. Those things, or better said feelings, are the most perfidious enemies a man can meet in his life. Good luck!!
 
Hey OP,

I went through 3-4 years of depression and severe social anxiety. I puke/diarrhea almost every morning from it

Have you considered going for CBT?

Changed my life within a year. (with lifting and all)
 
Each person has a path that can work for them. I'd recommend looking into Zen philosophy and
putting yourself into the gym. Get away from the illusions of the world. Sometimes less is more
and we can only build when we have taken away what already existed.

I know you had a good day and I am glad. Just saying this in general for anyone reading.
