with this thread's existence and what people have talked about please know that there's a difference of being depressed and having depression. Be wary of the weight of the words you use

Generics for SSRIs are pretty cheap.
If you're looking for meds then yeah you gotta go to a doctor...but if you dont want meds or dont want to pay the $ try this mane:
Eat extremely healthy - I'm talking fruits, veggies, only whole grains, no cheese, lean meats, no fried food, no fast food...
Drink a ton of water throughout the day
Meditate
It's shown to reduce depression and anxiety. You dont have to be a monk to start meditating. seriously
Exercise - cardio and lifting both.
In addition to those 3, do some hobby and work on it. You like playing bball? go the gym and ball for a looong time. play 5's, shoot around... Whatever interests you just do that.
Id suggest reading the ultra mind solution its a book on nutrition. You dont have to follow it verbatim but itll give you an idea of how important nutrition is to our mental and physical health. Good luck

Comparison Ford
I basically was your roommate. I'd keep trying, hopefully he can snap out of it before he gets even deeper in it. Just try to get his *** out of his room for a while or just sit in his room with him and shoot the ****. He knows he's ******* up, eventually he will cave and hear you. Did something happen to him recently or something?

If you'd like to see a psychologist try calling #211 and ask for information on those local to you. I'm not sure about where you live but several mental health services local to me provide service on a sliding scale(the cost is income based). Some will even do it for free if you qualify. As someone mentioned, several ssri's(the most commonly prescribed antidepressants) are inexpensive.

Imma bounce back though

Why can't you workout? Injury?
Also, how did you start your own online biz? I've seeking tips on how to do this for the longest. You can PM me so we don't detract from the thread.

The single thing that's helped me out the most thus far is weightlifting.

Nothing happened to him recently. He was dating a girl from 2007 to 2012 and she upped and left him for another dude (mostly due to his drinking).
It's been 3 years and he's still not over it. Alcohol has done nothing good for him. He's ruined 2 other friendships from being an obnoxious drunk since the breakup. At this point he has no close friends other than myself, but at this point I'm done with the kid. He's doing the same thing to me that he did to them. He gets drunk, gets obnoxious, says stupid/disrespectful things, and alienates himself even further. I don't even like bringing him out with me anymore. Every person that meets him thinks he's a **** because he has no clue how to talk to people. He hasn't even gone on a single date since the breakup. He's not over her, and he dwells on the fact that he lost friends but he'll never acknowledge anything he might have done to push people away.
I've tried to get this kid help over and over only to get nowhere. I don't know what else I can do, and at this point in time it's hard for me to care. We're not speaking and I'm not apologizing or initiating conversation because I did nothing wrong. He can come to me when he's ready to get his life together.

Yeah dude needs to stop drinking already. I didn't know he was being a douche to the whole world. Keeping to yourself and being depressed is one thing. Taking your anger out on everyone else is another. I feel you and I'd ditch him too. Sounds like you tried your best man. You can only have so much patience with someone.

Psychedelics are cool until you have a bad trip. I really wouldn't recommend them to anyone that has underlying anxiety issues. I fall into this category and had a terrible experience. Honestly set me back a few years trying to recoup.
This is gonna sound stupid, but listening to old clips of Adam Carolla on Loveline helped me the most with situational depression. His message is simple: you're the only person that can control your situation, stop feeling sorry for yourself, stop viewing yourself as a victim, and start actively trying to change your life for the better because no one else is gonna do it for you:

Maybe it's because I'm not a usual smoker but I've tried DMT TWICE with no trip. I felt a rush coming but that's it.

Yeah I wouldn't tell anyone to do psychs. I do them a lot and know how to keep my mind in the right place no matter what I'm going through but it can get draining keeping yourself on track through your trip. Then the next day you just feel wiped out.
Idk it's just one of those things that takes practice. Do them if you want but start very small you have to learn how to navigate that trip.

Yeah you can't fall asleep after them very easily. Your mind is racing too fast.

I agree, set and setting are the most important things when taking a psychedelic. There's a big difference between throwing mushrooms on a pizza at a party and taking mushrooms in nature and doing yoga or meditating.
If done correctly, psychedelics can heal wounds you never thought were there.
And auyahuasca and DMT are different animals entirely.
You may have burnt the crystals. How many times did you hit the bong or pipe?
