Anyone else suffer from Mental Illnesses? How do you cope

Download: Way of the Superior Man by David Deida
(find a pdf online free for reading purposes not resale).

It is one of the most important books a man should read especially in 2017, in a time where low testosterone, being a cuck, and dudes are out raising the alpha male's babies while catering to some slag.

You have a purpose in life. Without it, a lot of men of are lost. Combine this with a society that promotes 'equality' as if all things and people are equal. In short, it has caused a lot of shit storms with this gender neutrality rubbish. Its not real life. Men and women have different strengths and weaknesses.

The sky could fall tomorrow; be marching to the beat of your drum. What resonates? If you don't know your purpose, your purpose at the moment is to find out your purpose.


Many guys will be on that grind, pussy comes, and they hand a woman their balls. Its fucking pathetic. These spineless wonders end up getting destroyed living a life of a cuck. Mental health is a real thing but, it doesn't remove the onus and importance of stepping up. If anything, it is even more important because it gives you your true north.

I am doing an absolute disservice to the book. Pick it up. Read it. Live it. As for destroying people, I suppose it could be but, you could do something to monopolize a niche of your choosing. You could travel the world or make some drastic change. If you are JJ you could get back your LHW title or you could go party and run over more women. Every man has a choice bu then has to live with that including the consequences of it.

Sadly, many men piss away the time they have with low testosterone (IE TS wimpering online). Its about as pathetic as women on reddit threads posting about egg freezing after squandering her SMV and best years as a alpha male's meat sock.

In the end, it is a lot of ego, and the identification of mental illness/sickness is one way someone can easily piss away their life in pity part mentality. Find motivation. Change your circle of friends. Motivation is like a shower, you need it daily.

So what are you suggesting?
 
I first provided a wall of text but TS is a cuck and very emo. I blame low testosterone. At a certain point, step the fuck up or roll over, die. The world will keep turning. Fuck not given. Stake claim in this world. Do your best.

good point. we should really go back to allowing people who aren't capable to fall by the wayside. Or maybe put them in asylums and cut chunks of their brains out.

you're so correct in everything.

Purpose! Read the book. It gets you out of your head and you may get some insight into cultivating a great life. Something like daily meditation morning and night. Prayer to begin and end off your day. Create a routine to get you out of 'dur states.' Its human nature that falls into mediocrity and lives a life of complacency.

Or curl in fucking ball and start a pity party. Better yet, become a male feminist and SJW. The world needs more wimps and guys with low test.

I am sure this is a great way for a man to crush vag. wait wut?
 
I really don't understand depression i guess you have to suffer from it to know what it is. Had a friend that was always down and whinging about life on FB I told him to stop being a little bitch and go on holiday and slay some ass to cheer himself up.
The prick necked himself 2 days later he was only 22 what the fuck does a 22 year old have to worry about that he would kill himself.
Not sure what my point was thread just reminded me of him.

There's a lot of truth to that first sentence. Depression is one of those things that, unless you've suffered from it, it is very difficult to describe.

People saying 'grow a pair' or 'man up' is ridiculous and one of the reasons why so many people do not open up, because there is still such a misunderstanding / ignorance about mental illness.

The best book I've read which gave a very accurate description of depression is 'Darkness Visible'. So if if anyone has a loved one or friend sufferering depression or is bipolar, I'd recommend reading this.
 
I think I may be sick too.

For years, I have been dwelling on the past. I cant seem to stop. The thoughts really depress me.

I never suffered anything traumatic though. It is just mostly negative social interations. I keep thinking about smashing the people that disrespected me.
I dwell on the past unhealthily..I was diagnosed with clinical depression and post traumatic stress from childhood..

I have had nightmares every night for the last twenty years about my past.

Brief clip:
Parents were heroin addicts..lots of abuse/torture..getting beat by moms pos men..homeless at 8 ..foster homes,group homes..homeless for a year at age 13(lived in a field that had trees so I made a tree house) ...ran away from every foster home/group home I could .
My mom was especially sadistic..her abuse was past normal beatings but torture..hot knives..coax tv cables..some fucked up shit.
Fought a lot..fought so much that I hate the idea of physical confrontation now..i fought grown ups when I was ten..gang bangers when I was teens,homeless people,sickos,other kids,everyone..I would say a rough estimate is at least 1-2 street fights every week from 8-17 years old..it was my way to take back power (at least that's what I told myself then)..I haven't got into a fight since I was 19(got stabbed and got lucky..learned my lesson)
Was shot once..watched friends murdered.

That's just scratching the surface^^^

But as a 40 year old, I live a good life..suburban upper middle class..great wife/daughter and carry on pretty well on outside but in my brain it's a fight...happens in spurts..goes for a couple days then goes away for a couple days..extreme high extreme low..no middle..I don't take meds but I learn to keep my self stupid busy during low spells..hobbies/work/music..whatever I can to stay positive.

The only thing I can't seem to control is the night mares and night terrors. That's shit sucks..it's like a time warp..it's like I'm 11 again and I have to relive things my conscious mind has forgot about.

I'm honestly considering hypnotherapy but after seeing get out I'm shook lol.

-dwelling on the past is a curse,it will eat at you slowly and it will change you for the worse obviously so when the memories start flooding..I literally tell myself to shut the fuck up and meditate a little...I reset my brain if that makes any sense
 
Nice pseudoscience

Now back to the discussion
As some one with extreme depression his methods actually worked for me at least...I didn't like the zombie feel of the drugs and I essentially have done what he described for 20 years...it saved my life and my mind.

After reading everything you posted ..although callus ..you type the truth .

I've done what you've said for half my life..and it's what I attribute to my success..

I don't want to sound like an alpha douche to anyone suffering (please read my post above,to see what depression and trauma I've experienced) but it's time to take back control of your life...

Fuck depression..attack it and own it.. grab your life and mind by the balls and fight for your happiness..it won't just come to you..and no one and no drug/thing will magically make it all better.

It may sound cliche but my motto was sink or swim...I didn't have the option of failure because failure meant death/prison or homelessness.. so I swam,I'm still swimming and I own everyday like it's my last..I have compassion for people who've known real struggle and heartache..but we all have to make a decisive mental choice at some point on which we are going to do...sink or swim.

hate used to be my motivation..now my motivation is life/love and peace within.

I'm also not saying it's bad to go the dr/drug route but I did it and I never got anywhere..it wasn't until I truly..genuinely changed my outlook and forced myself to be a shark not a minnow,did I ever start to see some bright days..

Just keep fighting..

You manstruate about other people's issues as if they hinder your efforts and such yet I'm the one that needs a pity party. Haha! Come on hymen, put your big girl pants on already.

Being the sort of male that urinates from the seated position is a one way ticket to failure/life of mediocrity/amateur hour/ &&& all that is bush league.

I am so done with this PC culture, to low testosterone &&& no consciousness.

People need to keep it real.

Good on you noticing brah.

I've done what you've said for half my life..and it's what I attribute to my success..

There is no original idea. We are constantly learning from one another either directly or indirectly. It starts from birth. Monkey see. Monkey do. We are mirroring our parents and our peers. It is unconscious but a part of social conditioning.

This goes back to being tribal at our very nature. This is where seeking approval and validation originates from. Failure to fit in leads to ostracism.

Example: women calling a man rapey = genetic ostracism.

Gandolf - YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

For all the talk or patriarchy and female victimhood, much of human nature is governed by female choice; who women breed with.

I don't want to sound like an alpha douche to anyone suffering (please read my post above,to see what depression and trauma I've experienced) but it's time to take back control of your life...

Check my first post to TS. Wall of text followed by his cuck low test emo response. Fuck it. MAN UP TS! Quit being a little bitch otherwise, your genes are weeded out of existence.

Women do not want a sissy.

This here is like the woman venting on social media + reddit in 'egg freezing threads' after squandering her youth as a booty call.

Grow a pair. Man up. Stake your fucking claim in the free market &&& STFU till then.

Go get laid. Go get girls. Stop being a fucking sissy.

Lose the skinny jeans. go lift a weight. Clean up your diet. Smash some skanks. Quit being a punk. Nobody gives a fuck about it if you roll over and become road kill. My life will go on just fine.

I will just keep stunting on you. The world doesn't care. Move on. Or continue collecting social assitance/IE single mom money.
 
I've had clinical depression and GAD since I was 16. It's been tough to deal with at times. Really an up and down battle. There's been times when I've wanted to end it all. The anti-depressants worked in the beginning, but my tolerance is so high I'm numb to them. Talking to a shrink sometimes helps, but so does talking to any random stranger... Whether or not they're interesting and have something to say is what counts.

I've found over the last few years that pot helps a lot. Is it escapism? Am I trying to ignore my condition/s? I don't really know. For now the weed does the trick. However I can feel my body accommodating to the stimulus. Won't be long before it no longer does it for me.. I'll have to find something new then. I heard Kratom is good.

Anyone else suffer from similar conditions? How did you find out about your condition. When were you diagnosed. How do you cope?

I don't know if I am a man or a woman and I cope by making people call me Zer.
