Depression and Social Anxiety — Help!?
How do i cure this? i don’t have any healthcare.
things i’ve tried
*Eating right and exercising – made me feel mildly better, but i used it as a stress vent and ended up being anorexic. I stopped caring about my weight a while ago, and reverted back to normal eating and exercising patterns. Failure.
*Drugs – i’m currently drinking bud lite, and smoking newports. they make me feel a bit better, but i’m destroying my body. I can quit them — but i need some sort’ve new vise in order to do so. I also tried Xanax (anti-anxiety pill) and felt good and floaty, but i stopped due to the illegality of bumming it, and the fact that it’s damaging me as bad as alcohol. I don’t want to hurt my body to help my mind….
*Religion – i was born a christian, but i’m currently a Nihilist Atheist…so this option is worthless now.
*Complaining (online) – this has gotten me nowhere, but i still seek help.
*Thinking of suicide – this would end my feelings of sadness, but it wouldn’t give me any feelings of happiness, so it’s a worthless option.
I’m 24 male, and i live in America.

24, male and living in America?! See your local drug dealer about CRYSTAL METH.
Try Prozac, do not take it with drugs or alcohol.
get out of the house & be in the sun for a little while during the day. chat up old friends & make plans
LAUGH
find something new & get good at it, find out who has similar interests as you
FOCUS ON THE PRESENT, not ‘way back when’ or ‘one of these days’
go to the petstore and pick out something small (preferably something fluffy)
and once youv had it for a couple days, you will realise that this little creature, whatever you shal choose, depends on you. it cares for you as long as you care for it. it waits for your attention, and it truly needs you for survival. this will make you realise that you are loved and needed. even if it is by a chinchilla or a turtle or anything. just watching it run around and seeing how the simplest things makes it happy, will make you happy. i promise you
If you want to be happy first of all you have to learn to accept yourself as you are and not compare yourself with other people because there will always be greater and lesser people than yourself. Learn to be your own best friend and believe in yourself. Tell yourself that you are a good person and that you deserve to be happy. For anxiety do deep breathing exercises and only think of the word, ‘relax’ everytime you breathe.
Going to detox would be a good idea if you want to feel good about yourself. Get a dietitian to prepare a healthy diet for you. Look online for a healthy diet. Make sure that you are getting the correct nutrition as a poor diet can make you moods low. Get into health foods and brown rice. Brown rice and vegetables are cheap and nutritious. Maybe think of growing your own garden. You can grow vegetables in window boxes or in a small lawn space. Instead of doing drugs do a course on how to cook nutritious meals. (You might even meet some hot chicks as well!) Carrots are easy to grow from a packet and you get enough crops to feed an army. I planted pumpkin seeds from the ones I cut out of the pumpkin I bought at the supermarket.
Actually, if you look up alternative therapies and treatments that are natural and drug free, you won’t get so depressed or anxious. Here are some websites with options for you:

Try drinking a better brand beer.
Try smoking Marlboro (Reds, 27′s, or Virginia Blends)
I’m also Nihilistic-Atheist, maybe try Buddhism though.
Maybe you should talk to a therapist.
Plus you’re an adult, and can get good anti-depressants.
Sucks being a minor >:/
Even though you don’t have healthcare, you can go to your closest university and get reduced cost psychological counseling. You don’t have to be a student either

The best bet is seeing a psychiatrist for a proper diagnostic and treatment. If for some reason that’s not an option or if you cannot afford therapy, read http://natural-depression.blogspot.com/
In many cases depression will respond quickly to the use of this treatments (within a few weeks), but if this still doesn’t work, see a psychiatrist; psychiatric treatment for depression involves antidepressants and usually but not always, therapy.
