Having depression sucks! It is a drag to complete tasks. I am afraid to mess with the anti depressants due to the possible sexual side effects and possible long term effects but fuck its been 3 years depressed.
...focus on something other than ourselves....
Depression runs on my mother’s side.
My grandpa and my uncle both killed themselves. I don’t know if I have the gene or not but I guess I get sad sometime the same as everyone else. My moms and my dad lived entirely different lives growing up and got divorced when I was very young.
My moms father (who killed himself) was an attorney, and his family was really well off. His son (my uncle) had 4 kids and killed himself too. They’re my family and I love them but they’re a bunch of whiners.
My dads family is salt of the earth dairy farmers and coal miners. Nobody had time to be sad in their household.
I’ve always identified with my father’s side and never allowed my negative emotions to take a hold of me.
I know it’s not always as simple as that, but for me it was a matter of allowing yourself to be depressed or to realize that someone always has it worse than you. You either man up and improve your situation or you lay down and give up.

Bro I completely understand where your coming from but be careful when referring to people battling depression as whiners. That could be the difference of someone depressed pulling the trigger or not.
Being Sad is not depression and I don’t care how tough a person is or grew up if they are suffering from real depression they just can’t make it go away cause they don’t have time for it. Sorry it just doesn’t work that way.
I don’t consider myself a big pussy too often and when I get into a “funk” it literally can and will put me on my ass for weeks at a time. Sometimes Months if left untreated. Doesn’t matter what I have to do in life, how it’s gonna effect my loved ones, etc. etc. There’s no willing it to go away. Nobody will ever beat depression. The trick is to limit those “funks”. The bottom line is that mental health is real and there’s no cure all for it. Best your gonna do is find a way to deal with it. Just my humble opinion though.
I feel yah dude but I’ve seen too many people in a funk relegating themselves into a dark place by relinquishing control over their own thoughts. My grandpa and my uncle were truly afflicted individuals but the rest of the family is just a bunch of fuckin babies.
I get a little aggressive over it because they tried to paint me with that brush when I was a youngster. My dad was hard nosed as fuck and my mom was always trying to turn me into a little pussy. It was very confusing as a kid. At the end of the day I realized that I do not have my grandpas manic depressive issues and I moved on with my life. The military really helped put things into perspective for me.
People will have a bad run or stop taking care of themselves and instead of trying pull themselves up they just bawl around and take meds when all they need to do is get their shit together. That’s not to take away from people that have legitimate issues but I feel like the vast majority of people who claim depression are just pussies who’ve never really suffered.
Little rich kids who are upset because the whole world doesn’t lie at their feet like their parents told them it would. The antifa/tranny crew if you know what I mean...

Ok bro.
Hey man I’m not trying to be disrespectful towards you at all or anybody else. Shit always comes off wrong when people are typing instead of looking at each other eye to eye having a conversation.
All I’m trying to say is that people conflate sadness with depression these days and a lot of people surrender control over their emotions. Docs capitalize because they want to sell pills and bill hours to insurance plans.
I know first hand that clinical depression is a real thing but I feel like it’s just over-diagnosed these days.

what brand sam-e do you like? i was going to give it a try.
I’ve suffered with depression my whole life. I’ve tried drugs like Prozac, but I don’t like the side effects. Working out has always been my way of dealing with it.
I have dealt with manic depression and social anxiety for years ... have all the prescriptions prescribed including the heavy benzos and psychotropics and while they do work, they'll turn you into an emotionless zombie with little cognitive function. Honestly, white Kratom has been one of the best, but there is a fine line between too much with the physical dependencies and getting no sides. Other nootropics / supps (L-Theanine + Caffeine), microdosing Delta-8 THC, and I've found Modafinil to work really well. I'm now interested in SAM-E, thanks for sharing this!
Its an off-label use of moda for depression, but I can attest that it actually works. I actually just started this not too long ago and can say it makes me very talkative and gives energy (where depression sucks away our energy).
I have three people I know that tried the same drug and said the same thing.

If I didn't have a daughter to raise, I would have packed it in a long time ago. I even researched the best ways to do it and picked my favorite. All my friends are dead and I'm not interested in finding new ones. Don't have any family left. Wife and I don't talk anymore. Can't imagine I'll be around long after my daughter's grown, gone, and on her own. Looking forward to it actually.
