How is it that I am in the best physical shape of my life but still horrifically depressed? I eat well, I get a decent amount of sun, I cycle and swim every so often, I lift most days of the week, I read books that interest me, and yet I can't do anything about this gnawing hole inside of me. It simply hurts to exist

you're a whining homosexual
No gf huh?
had a gf for a few months recently and when i ended things with her i was borderline suicidal for the next 2-3 months, so I don't really feel like doing that again
>Few months
Why didn it work out?
Have you tried reading self helping books?
12 Rules for life really did it for me
have you tried having sex?
I don't know. Struggle with it myself sometimes. I concentrate on spending time with my parents (they're super old) and planning long motorcycle trips to try and capture a feeling.
>and planning long motorcycle trips to try and capture a feeling.
where do you go? and do you succeed?
i ended things after we spent an entire summers day laying in the grass and she said she didn't want anything long-term, it felt like a gutshot, even typing this i can feel that same sensation. Once they start saying things like that its already over
How do you connect to God if you never really felt his presence?
Go to your local church (or other religious institution), and give it a go.
I was raised religous, but I never felt connected to any of it. I really don't think there is a point to anything
Trust me bro, just watch One Piece. That thing got me out of a dark place.
>watch my chinese homosexual cartoons bro
i got to ep 700 or smt, but when i saw zoro get fricking shat on by a giraffe cube i knew it was time to turn off the anime
>I suppose you want somerhing long term?
I did. now I dont know if I even want to attempt going after female companionship, why bother if its doomed to fail
Try reading the bible. Proverbs is really cool. I would suggest you read through it and note some you like in particularly. Psalms is also really nice. Especially psalm 51 gives you the feeling that god cares for you.
Also before you read, try praying. Even if it sounds dumb just try it. Just tell god whats on your heart and be concrete what you need from him and how you want him to help you.
Dang that sucks man. I'm sorry. I suppose you want somerhing long term? i guess youre young so this will not be the last girl. Maybe try not to get too soon into relationships. Not before you and your prtner know where this is heading.
>where do you go? and do you succeed?
National forests and parks are good. Just me, my bike, and beautiful, lonely roads for days on end. I like mountains mostly because there are none where I live. There's a kind of mental and physical exhaustion that quiets the mind and settles the soul, and that's what I chase. Short trips give me a taste. Proper vacations with day after day on the road puts me there
>It simply hurts to exist
Symptom of our late-stage civilization. This guy has the best idea. Find a way to stop thinking about this abrasive modernity - through physical exhaustion.
>How do you connect to God if you never really felt his presence?
Pray the rosary. I kid you not. You can find how to do so online. It’s life changing.
Are you me?
>I am 27, dad is 68 and mom is 65.

Unironically you need God.
Second this.
Getting closer to god really helps. Gives life purpose and hope.
God, family, community, purpose. Without these you will forever be depressed and lack true happiness and contentment
true freedom is having the ability to express yourself without caring about potential consequences
I just did this in a dream i had and it felt incredible
Watch One Piece. Helped me understand things
Do you have friends, anon? Do you spend time with people who you can talk to about your hobbies and interests? About the ups and downs in your life? I'm in a similar boat to you, and that's what I think the root of my problem is.
yeah Im lucky in that regard, I have 4-5 people who I would call close friends, but the end result is the same, they cant help me with the problems inside my head
Have you talked to them about it or are you just assuming?
One in particular I went to high school with shares a similar sentiment, we both got really badly depressed and needed counseling even into the early college years but that sickness seems to have persisted until now (age 22), to varying degrees over the years but its always been there and always will be I think
its just your pussy ass genetics telling you not to pass on your genes cuz youre such a whiny little b***h
I wish I could give you more than empty platitudes, but you have to keep putting yourself out there. Go outside, join clubs, meet people, etc. You've still got a lot of time ahead of you, but it only gets harder to meet new people the older and more jaded you get. Don't waste your 20s wallowing in your depression like I did.
honestly I feel like i've got nothing to lose, might as well see if a random encounter with a stranger could change things
You are lacking love, anon.
There's no lifting away
>tfw no gf
Im in the worst shape of my life yet I smile. Suck it
It's because of the industrial revolution and its consequences.
go see a professional dude, happiness is a fricking chemical and if you don't believe me take pingas
you don't fix brain tumors by feeling fulfilled
all psychologists are quacks, they simply medicate and repeat the same drivel over and over until your mental sedatives kick in and you have no choice but to obey
unironically though
psychologist != psychiatrists, they can't prescribe just rely on talking and cognitive therapy
you'd know if you weren't a massive poof

You need to focus on spiritual gains. Seek wisdom.
Welcome to existential dread anon! It's ok, you'll get through it. Life will be very difficult to navigate, but existential philoshopy could work for you. It emphasies that you, the individual, are solely responsible creating meaning in your life. Best of luck in finding that meaning.
