Without the burden that's in our hearts

This is going to sound stupid but take it from someone that beat a 6-year-long depression with willpower.

It's literally all in your head. You can be in control of your emotions instead of the other way around. I decided one day that being depressed wasn't benefiting me or anyone else that I associated with. So from that day I forced to smile and told myself constantly throughout the day that I'm happy, genuinely worked on convincing my brain. Yeah some days I would slip up or have moments of weakness but I just had to get back on track and force the mindset again. After about a year of doing this I bought my own bullshit and now happy is my default mood. Anyone can do it.

You forget one tiny details. Coping by avoidance only works good, if you dont get stressed too much. A few bad events and all those botteled up emotions will come up tenfold and will fuck up your life.

Great that it worked for you, idk if telling ppl to just bottle up their emotions and push through it is a good idea, and they wont just game end themselves because it makes them even more miserable

Every single person I have given this advice to that has actually tried it it has helped. It's not just me. You're not bottling anything up, you're refusing to let negative emotions control your life.

Depends on your situation

This is true as well. I personally don't recommend this for anyone that has actually been through immense trauma.

Honestly, science agrees with the fake it until you make it process. If you smile and laugh enough, you will eventually start smiling and laughing for real, which will help with depression.

I have tried nothing and am all out of ideas. Maybe stop feeling sorry and wash yourself, pay your bills stop skipping class and put down the transformer aps.

Medication is the ignition true healing can't be done with it alone.

Didn’t try cycling in particular but tried getting fit

Now I’m having panic attacks in the gym and my depression has never been worse

This doesn’t always work unfortunately
