I’m on the verge of crying every Saturday night and Sunday and felt like a dead person throughout. Sunday I’m coding cause looking for a job change and parents about to retire. So I’m looking for some trustworthy friends to help me grow and with whom I can be happy with. Would be grateful if someone help me in improving the quality of life. Thanks in advance

The worst advice you can give anyone with depression is this.

Why so?

I have borderline depression. My mental health has improved considerably since I started working out(develop a hobby), I usually never went out on weekends (only used to go if drinking was involved), started going to places like Cubbon, try to explore places that are nearby. Please reach out to a therapist if you don’t want to go on medication.
And please cry, feels good for once, we as men are told “Mard nahi rote”, shatter that stereotype.

One more thing, if you have friends be 100% sure before discussing your issues with them or even giving them hints, even the best of friends will mock you. Here no one will help. Take professional help, talk to a therapist or a doctor. I am speaking from experience and hope you don’t make the same mistakes as me. @Mouse_singh

Hey buddy,
I can recommend a few things which can help

  1. If you don’t like medications, get a therapist. Talking with them will help. They will also share coping mechanisms.
  2. Vitamin D3 also helps, please get your levels checked

Therapist might or might not work depending on what case u have.

Depression is also caused by low serotonin(harmones) which can be improved by healthy diet, vitamin B12, vitamin D etc.

I went to the doctor and they said I’m borderline depressed, they recommended medication but I wanted to solve it without them, if nothing is found I might have to take those

Loneliness

Hi folks,

I wanted to know how you tackle this feeling of loneliness and being lost in the city. When you have no one to talk with and always being homesick.
