I agree with most people giving you positive directions and find yourself.

Stay active doing something.

Join a group on something you might that meets a lot and has people that are positive.

If you are shy or introvert join toastmasters. It a great way to meet positive people and speak in public.

You like building stuff maybe woodworking or ceramics club?

Garden club if you like outdoors and planting stuff?

Like to work on cars maybe a car club?

Like music they got those clubs or bands?

There clubs for almost everything and people active in these clubs.

Stay away from negativity or negative people.
Turn off the news and don’t ready negative post or articles.

Dating app or just dating, you might want to back off of that until you feel positive about yourself and who you are. Dating, don’t jump into anything until you know who you are
and what you want.

Hobbies, exercise and church are what help keep me going. Wildlife photography and cycling (motor and pedal) are a healthy combination. Hibernating is a really bad habit. Get some sun to avoid SAD (seasonal affective disorder) and find some way to keep the blood circulating. I also meet other outdoor people by joining groups and engaging with interesting people.
I have long enjoyed my church groups and this helps me stay involved and focused. Following up on these discussions by reading the Bible keeps focus on the Word later.

Start lifting weights like it’s a prescription. That’ll help. Get outside as much as possible as well.

This is the classic catch-22 of depression. Loneliness makes depression way worse, and depression makes forming relationships way harder, keeping you trapped in a cycle. Being depressed makes you significantly less attractive to women, and coming off a breakup can absolutely destroy your confidence.

At the same time, nothing helps one get over a breakup and restore confidence faster than some consistent casual sex. It’s not a permanent fix, but it can give you a valuable shot in the arm to boost your confidence and will power to help you make the changes you need to make to really move on.

However, if you put yourself out there and fail to score, it’s only going to make things way worse.

Since this is the 5th thread (by my count) you've started on this board about being depressed about something going on in your life, like your divorce, does it help? Have you gotten any advice from posters that you've tried and it made you less depressed afterwards? Or, is it just by conversing with other people, it gives you some relief?


A little of both. Most of what’s said is what I would say to someone else going through the same issues. Find a hobby, seek the Lord, go to a gym, etc. I find the motivation lacking to do those things, but the conversations on here are helpful. For the most part, there’s good people on this board. Just reading supportive posts helps me. Last night was the first night I stayed up later. Today was the first day I rolled out of bed with a purpose in quite some time. I did get to the gym. I did eat a healthier meal. I slept a decent amount of time and didn’t overdo it. Many small victories in this day.

Find a church and go weekly. Go to the gym daily and clean up your diet. You won’t need that testosterone booster shite.
