Why do you believe that?

There are many people who have gone through periods of diagnosed depression, but don't get periods of depression again.

I am one of them.

The scariest thing every time for me is: depression is spontaneous and even though I seemingly feel 'cured' and on top of the world, it can come back even without a single thought of anticipation. It is a cruel thing.

Sorry to hear that.

Do the periods between bouts of depression get longer and longer?

They typically last 2 weeks to a month, severity fluctuating between lying in bed to 14 hours a day but still not being able to sleep feeling like I am in a stress induced coma, to 'functioning' on a deathly autopilot stupor without any happiness or interest for anything.

Incorrect.

The !Kung people only do about 12 hours of "work" a week. And they have survived in the Kalahari, one of the most brutal environments on Earth, for over 40,000 years.

For men in particular, the "work" is a lot more varied and exciting than the mindless desk-work that occupies most people's lives today - hunting, fishing, preparing for war. All deeply physical and meaningful work.

We work harder than ever, and are more disconnected from our communities than ever.

Remember, during the early days of the United States, thousands of European men defected to the American Indians. Few, if any, American Indians defected to the "civilized peoples". Both the Europeans and Indians knew that at some point Indian society would be destroyed. Yet all the defections were in one direction.

"No European who has tasted Savage Life can afterwards bear to live in our societies." - Benjamin Franklin.

LOL @ thinking that we have it easier than ever, maybe easier than feudal peasants, but certainly not easier than full-blown hunter-gatherers.

Modern civilization requires millions of cuckolds to work harder than ever in the interest of a select few.
When all that says 'it is good' has been debunked, what says 'I want' remains.

I knew him since first grade and he was a brother to me. I don't admit to potential and current gfs that I'm bi polar and I hide my medication. I wear long sleeves or go to Nordstrom and have them put make up on my scars from cutting.

people who claim that they were depressed and that by taking vitamins and lifting = cured. that's terrible advice to the miscer who thinks about oding or hanging himself every night. that cured miscer was just going through some **** and came out on top. depression is a broad term.

I lift and take vitamins. my body is healthy, but I need medication, therapy and fitness to be at ease and calm.

some are sad because they cant get laid, have a job they don't like, went to a ****ty school and got a bad degree, skinny fat but I don't know if that's real depression or just over analyzing their life.

pussy is great, love is even better. but a girl wontcureyou. to be in a relationship you cant expect to bitch about your life. my ex caught me on my bull**** and she was way way younger than me. we didn't break up over that.

if you want a relationship, get your **** together. accept your life and talk to someone. I have a few friends but I'm making more. tinder is a great way to make friends believe it or not.
You're totally right, in the last few weeks I've hit a slump and what you realise is that nothing externally helps. If you brain/perspective is wonky, you are truly ****ed, and I have access to basically everything that most people define as the epitome of a lucky person.

1. Social media has created zombies out of females, completely retarded their ability to conversate, seduce, escalate which lead to..

2. Sexual frustration on a massive scale due to feminism destroying social structures ie. anything masculine is looked down upon heavily which prevents the guy from making the first move WHILE THE CHICK IS WAITING FOR JUST THAT. This is especially true in the workforce where looking at a chick wrong can get you fired for some bs sexual "harassment"
