Im so depressed I cant function

Talk to ber.

If you are healthy enough to do it, regular exercise is the fastest way to improve your depression. Otherwise I would recommend diet change, try going keto for a few months. The first two weeks will suck, but you'll feel so much better after that.

Yes, get out. Go for a walk.

Call upon the Name of The Lord

I’ve suffered from severe depression all my life, and I’m sorry you are as well. I started taking Kratom a few years back, and haven’t suffered since. The drug companies want to make this stuff illegal because it works very well. It may already be illegal in your state. Just a thought.

As others have stated, diet, exercise, and meaningful communication(maybe with the wife maybe not) can really help. Maybe the the wife is the problem….maybe it’s time to move on?

Anyway…I hope you find relief

THey're going to try to take your guns anyway. Might as well go get some help.

I dose nature regularly or i get bummed out. If I'm feeling sorry for myself though, i listen to hardcore history series on the trenches of ww1. By the end if you still feel sorry for yourself, god bless you and i hope to god i never experience what you are.

Remember
Women don’t care about about your current problems, they wait at the end lines and get picked up by winners.

You got to man up and let your woman depend on you, not the other way. Being sisi PTSD excuse is extremely unattractive to women. I mean OP are you attracted to extremely masculine personality women? To women sisi men who’s trying to depend on them are extremely unattractive.

Drop all your excuses and man up. Restart from the beginning… Yes it’s not easy when you’re depressed. But it’s the only way.

Get some 'shrooms. Just 2 grams will set you straight. God gave them to us to help with mental issues.

Get off this site and on hiking trails

Healthier diet is good, keto is bad for kidneys

3 types of people around me are chronically depressed

First the drug addicts. I know several and all of them are some form of miserable.. no matter how "functioning" they say they are. Alcohol is the worst

Second are boomers. I love em but they watch too much TV and angrily indulge the left/right paradigm nonsense. They don't take care of themselves, they take too many RX drugs and they've lost the care to be role models... Many of them reverse mortgaged family homes so they can buy ridiculous vehicles and gamble in Vegas.. and they're still unhappy

Third are the people who are hypnotized by the abyss. A friend and a cousin both came out of covid lockdown full on conspiracy alarmists (snake venom and 5g bleh!) and neither are doing what they should to move forward in life because they think the world is about to end.. they've lost who they were and aren't fun anymore

This is the most important thing you could do

This.

Suffered from Major Depressive Disorder for 20 years. Years and years of praying, God healed me of it.

1) Pray and ask for the Lord to give you strength
2) Take one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow
3) GO OUTSIDE. If you can't walk, then sit in the yard.
4) Take it all in. The birds, the squirrels, then smells of fresh cut grass - all of it

Let me know how you are doing tomorrow.

If such thoughts and feelings persist for more than 2 weeks then it is clinical depression
You can talk to counselors anonymously
Antidepressants do help. They have saved my life. That's the most important thing.
You can get better and feel better again

And depression will not keep you from being able to buy guns
It takes a lot to get a mental band from guns. Mainly threats of hurting yourself or others and major psychotic episodes which you are not having.
Just don't talk about suicide, murdering anyone, death, or guns. I've been doing counseling for over 35 years and those are the only topics that raise red flags

Take responsibility. Get counseling and get on meds if you need to. Stop with the pity party.

How do you get PTSD from a job.?

What you need is to, FEEL the all encompassing GOD that is in you and everything.

Turn in your guns, they are burdening you. Repent. Ask Jesus Christ into your life. Turn your life over to him.

You must unplug from the internet and stop watching main stream Media for awhile (at least a week) and you will start to get back to normal. Limit your intake of all the negative news overloading your system, it can make you very ill and cause cancer to get a foot hold.

And then pour his heart out to God.

Facts.

We need carbs for our brain as well as fats. So yup a well rounded diet. No extremes.

Im proud of all of you... Some great advice here...


This is the best youre gonna get, homie. Take it to heart and run with it.

Godspeed

Maslows Hierarchy helped me, and fixing amygdala response.

So identifying the positive things in life that brought joy vs the people and environment surrounding me that bring me down and keep me suspended. If there is unbalance it will make me tip.

Amygdala has alot to do with PTSD as it's a conditioned response. And we keep choosing the same response because we think we can conquer it, and we can't. We have to recognize it and make a DIFFERENT choice. (same thing that happened to Amber Heard, trying to reason with a drunk over and over, make the choice to leave. Not that same situation but the RESPONSE Habit).

It takes a few months of positivity to snap out of depression, so give yourself time and space and work the plan. Make goals and objectives and room for failure and set backs, but the end result will be success.

OP,
First and foremost, God bless you and your wife. Remember Paul’s encouragement to fight the good fight and finish the race.

Secondly, have your iron levels checked. Many Americans, myself included, are anemic. This causes so many chronic problems including: depression, brain fog, lethargy, low blood oxygen, etc.

Hang in there brother and find a bible study or prayer group. “No man is an island”.
