Every man needs a purpose. If you aren't doing much then identify what it is you enjoy and pursue it to no end.

I appreciate all you guys, I run a small zoo so I can't keep up with the responsibility, but thank you so much

It’s tough because some people’s brains are just genetically wired differently. I used to struggle with anxiety for no reason. I still do once every month or 2. Like sitting alone watching TV in a completely fine mood and bam, my body would go to fight or flight and cause uncomfortable symptoms for no reason. And I dont have social anxiety personally, just episodes of anxiety when i was usually alone. I Had little bouts of depression because of this. Started realizing alcohol was causing a lot of these issues. It would just mess with my brain for a day or 2 after drinking. And when you drink a lot, it can and will keep you anxious and depressed. I drink 2-3 times a month now for social occasions and sports though compared to the most nights per week I did for several years.

I started setting goals which I never did much growing up through high school and college. Exercise 5-6 days a week. Eat healthy 6 days a week. Lost a good bit of weight. I just feel better 95% of the time vs feeling good only about 30% of the time. If you go through anxiety/depression, from what I know, it wont ever fully go away, but you learn to deal with it A LOT better and life just becomes easier. If im having a bad day with anxiety, I go for a jog. Instantly feel better. Beats the hell out of drinking several drinks, feeling like shite the next day, and then feeling too bad to do much.

Lifestyle changes! They are tough at first, but once you get over that hump and start helping your body out, youll thank yourself for it.

This. I don’t think people realize how much our physical health affects our mental health. Not saying this is the 100% cure but it’s ALWAYS one of the first steps in the process.

Accept that no one, no thing can undo what you think/feel as that belongs to you and only you

Examine your priorities and the whys behind them

Learn how to be joyful for others and enjoy your blessings for just because

Consider an antidepressant

Groom your heart, mind and body so that it works in a coordinated manner

Allow one, maybe two, people to keep you accountable

The biggest thing that helped me was cutting out toxic, negative and unnecessary people and things from my life.

I don’t care if you have depression or not, do this ASAP.

You’ll look back later and realize what a drag they were on your outlook (not the PC program) and attitude.

Talk to your doctor about supplementing with zinc. Studies have shown that zinc can really help people with depression. I never understood what depression was until I developed is zinc deficiency and then it was obvious to me. You don't wanna take too much zinc try 25 mg of zinc sulfate every other day and see what happens.
