Key steps for fighting depression

Depression in men is an epidemic, its a silent killer, either through living a life of quiet desperation or
through outright suicide. With the ruling class imposing cultural marxism on western society, this
includes war on spirituality, nationalism, the nuclear family and traditional masculinity leaving a lot of
men without a feeling of purpose in their lives. Many men now suffer from a lack of positive male role
models and no longer have the traditional training, practical skills, guidance and mental toughness to
handle life’s challenges that they would have learned from their fathers. Combine that with cultural
atheism, nihilistic materialism, urban anonymity, lack of community, wage slavery and debt, its no
wonder that many men slip into depression and look to escape into drugs, alcohol or video games. The
majority of these men suffer in silence, not wanting to show weakness or burden others with their
problems. If you’re reading this I want to tell you that you’re not alone, there is hope and I’m going to
show you exactly how to fight depression, but first we have to understand exactly what depression is.
Depression is unhappiness plus fatigue, you can’t be depressed when you have energy, this is very
important to understand in terms of controlling your energy levels. Anger is what results when you’re
unhappy and have energy, anger is unpleasant but can be useful as motivation and is nowhere as
crippling as depression. Depression is also different from sadness, because with sadness there is at least
a release when you cry, sadness is much easier to control, with depression there is no release, with
depression you lose even the will to fight the feeling because fighting feels pointless. Depression as a
whole is a string of consistent negative thoughts that link to negative feelings in your physiology or vice
versa, negative feelings in your physiology that manifest in thoughts. Thoughts like I’m a failure, life is
pointless, I have nothing to look forward to and I’m going to experience even more pain in the future are
the most consistent ones. Out of all negative states, depression is the worst, the feelings of
hopelessness, nausea, self hatred and suicidal ideation are nightmarish.
The number 1 rule in fighting depression is don’t let yourself slip into depression, its so much more
difficult to pull yourself out of a depressive state then to stop yourself falling into it one. The second
step in fighting depression, once you’ve recognized your major triggers is to not let yourself dip into
negative/depressive states BEFORE you get in them because its much more difficult to fight your way
out than to block depression at the source. The mental health community has done a good job of raising
awareness for depression, but has created many misconceptions of what depression actually is.
Depression is NOT an illness, by thinking depression is an illness it creates a victim mentality and a
rationale for making excuses and blaming your depression. Depression is a state, a state is determined
by a combination of your physiology and your mentality. Its true depression has a genetic component,
and you might be more predisposed to enter that state than others due to lower levels of key
neurotransmitters but you can raise these neurotransmitters naturally and chemically. Depression is
within your control. Your state is your mood, your state is your reality, your entire life is just a series of
state shifts, we link external events to our state but in reality it is completely internal, YOU HAVE
COMPLETE CONTROL OVER YOUR STATE. Now that you understand what depression really is and that
you have control over it, I’ve outlined the most common triggers and the three lines of defense in your
battle, your lifestyle, state boosters and how to fight your way out of a depressive state, these all come
from personal experience in my own fight against depression.

Triggers
Self-Hatred
This means not liking or accepting yourself and the consistent barrage of negative thoughts you tell
yourself, giving up because you’re worthless anyway, or because you cant accomplish x you might as
well give up on life.
Illness/Physical pain
Being sick sends hundreds of negative anchors/triggers to your mind, it also reduces your key
neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and GABA making it much easier to slip into depression.
Doing What You Hate
This could mean working a job you hate when you see no way out, family obligations, trying to please
other people instead of making yourself happy, any restriction on your freedom and pursuit of
happiness.
Nihilism
This means thinking things like life is pointless, it doesn’t matter what happens we all die anyway.
Lifestyle
Sprituality
Enjoying the material world is great but having faith in something greater than you gives your life
meaning, peace, comfort. Pure materialism, is empty, hollow, poorly disguised nihilism. This has nothing
to do with religion, but in believing that life in the material world is temporary after which we return to
a state of oneness, God and love.This means communion with God, asking to be close, and trying to do
the right things.
Proper Sleep
Getting proper sleep is crucial to keeping your energy levels high, feeling lethargic destroys your state,
make sure to get 6-8 hours a night. You also want to keep your sleep consistent and at night, instead of
being up at night and sleeping during the day, this ensures a proper circadian rhythm which is what
you’re evolved for. Getting proper sleep also strengthens your immune system, in my experience the
number one cause for me getting sick is not getting enough sleep.
Avoiding Sickness

Sickness is a massive state destroyer, its very difficult to pull out of negative/depressing states when
you’re sick. Taking 5 grams of vitamin c at the first sign of a cold is crucial also avoid foods you’re allergic
too, for me that means no dairy.
Drinking Lots Of Water
Feeling relaxed in your body is crucial to your state. Without enough water your muscles will get tight
and you become irritable.
Proper Diet
Eating well gives you good clean energy all day, this is the backbone of your state. Eating well also
prevents state killers like stomach pain, lethargy and bloating. That means eating natural foods when
possible like meat, vegetables, fruits and nuts. This also means avoiding foods you’re allergic to. One key
factor for maintaining energy throughout the day is to keep carbs low/moderate and rely mostly on
protein and fat, meat and nuts are great sources of energy, you can carb up at night once you’re ready
to relax. Too many carbs during the day destroys your energy because your body has to focus all its
resources on digestion.
Intermittent Fasting
Fasting in the morning with caffeine blunts your appetite and gives you extra energy and extra time in
the morning that you would have spent making and eating breakfast.
No Ejaculation
This is the most powerful state amplifier on this list. Ejaculation causes a dopamine crash, a testosterone
crash, and an energy crash. Even from just ejaculating once I get lethargic, consistent ejaculation kills
your life force, energy and killer instinct. With no ejaculation you’ll notice, brighter moods, better
energy, better circulation of energy, more confidence, more presence, less fear, higher sex drive and
increased pleasure from sex. If you can’t hold back from ejaculating (its hard) then try and limit it to
once or twice a week, ideally at night before bed.
High Intensity Training
High intensity training is the best way to exercise, it elevates all your key levels like Testosterone, growth
hormone and GABA without flooding your body with cortisol like endurance exercise. HIT gets blood
flowing and energy up, especially if you do it first thing in the morning, this includes weights and HIT
cardio.
Stress Free Living
This is a key one, its not always possible especially if you have a high stress job but you have to do what
you can to minimize it. Stress causes state destroyers like anxiety and adrenaline dumps. Work on
positive reframes, outcome detachment and removing stressful situations, that means not working a
stressful job and getting rid of negative people in your life.

Positive Thinking And Thought Reframing
You are what you tell yourself, when you tell yourself negative things they will store in your body, you
can feel it in your diaphram and the sides of your stomach, this usually feels like nausea. If you can’t be
positive at the time you have to do your best to at least avoid negative thinking because if you don’t you
will easily spiral into a depressive state. This means taking negative thoughts, analyzing them and asking
how is the useful to me, if its not, then discard it. Think of some key reframes to the the trigger points
listed above as well as some key reframes to your own personal trigger points.
Having A Mission
Every man needs a mission, a mission allows you to overcome obstacles, a mission gives you purpose, a
mission gives you tunnel vision from negative thoughts, a mission projects a positive reality for your
future. Focusing on your mission is an awesome way to channel your energy away from negative
thoughts, it also allows you to reframe your suffering as a positive.
Not Doing Things You Hate
This means your job, social functions, hanging out with people who don’t respect you, playing an image
you don’t feel because society compels you.
Managing Your Reality
Don’t have co-workers or minimize your time with them, same with negative family member, its much
harder to manage reality with negative people pressuring you to conform. It also means avoiding all
negative media, movies, news, it means quitting that job that you hate or breaking up with the girl that
you hate.
Mindfulness
This means consistently watching and monitoring your state by making the subconscious conscious. This
gets easier with practice and your mind will automatically send you red flags on negative thoughts.
Having An Achievement Mentality
The first thing you need to do is to make a promise to your self that from now on you’ve transitioned to
an achievement mentality. That means instead of getting high on food, drugs, porn, video games or any
other escape from reality, you’re now going to get high on achieving.You’re going to use the mentalities,
routines, and structures on this site to forge laser-like focus in achieving your mission and goals.
Self Acceptance
This means looking back positively on all you have going for you now . This is easier said then done and
is a gradual process so start with baby steps.
Structure

This means having a daily routine, being organized, going to bed and getting up at the same time
everyday. This brings you order, stability and allows focus towards your mission giving you pride and
control over your environment.
Multiple Areas Of Self Esteem
You need to take pride in many areas of your life including but not limited to, your mission, your career,
your presence, your style, your fitness, your relationships etc. This means when you’re failing in one
particular area you can still receive plenty of self-esteem from others. Or for example you fail at hitting
your gym goal for that day so you work extra hard on your business.
Standing/Sitting Up Straight
Standing up straight is the physical embodiment of your most powerful state, standing hunched over is
what people with low self esteem do. Standing up straight gives you increased energy. Standing up
straight also sends cues to your body giving you an increased projection of power, most people don’t
stand up straight because they’ve spent a whole lifetime apologizing for their existence.
State Boosters

Affection
Affection directly raises oxytocin, this is the chemical that makes feel you warm and fuzzy. Some guys
don’t realize they have affection needs, not just sexual needs, this means go find a cute girl to cuddle
with at least once a week (after sex of course).
Cold Shower
Start with a warm shower and finish with 30 seconds of cold, 5 on the head, 10 on the chest, 10 on the
back, 5 on the head again, I do this every morning. Its refreshing and gives you a great adrenaline and
energy boost.
Sprinting
10 minutes of sprinting on the treadmil, or HIT on the stationary bike l will boost your level of
endorphins, these natural painkillers will give you a quick state boost.
Reading/Listening To Motivational Media
This is crucial, the human brain is like a sponge tand he more positivity you’re around the more positive
you feel. Even reading a Tony Robbins book, which is 99% filler will affect your mood positively through
immersion.
Phenibut

Phenibut in moderation is the best drug I’ve ever taken. Its a GABA agonist similar to alcohol except with
out the cognitive effects or lethargy. On a moderate dose of phenibut you’ll notice an increase in energy,
relaxation, feelings of happiness and music sounds amazing. Dosage should be between 1g to 2g, try 1g
for your first time. Take on an empty stomach in the morning with caffeine and don’t eat for
approximately 3 hours after to strengthen the effects. Phenibut will last the entire day peaking at about
5 hours in. Be careful not to use more than a few times a week because tolerance builds quickly and
withdrawal can be nasty.
Caffeine
Caffeine is the second best drug I take. On an empty stomach a 100mg caffeine pill in the morning gives
me a consistent energy boost for 3 to 4 hours and sets the proper tone for the day. I also get a mild
euphoria and faster cognitive processing. Caffeine is a great drug because it works consistently every
day with only a mild tolerance forming. With that said if you don’t take caffeine every day the effects are
even stronger with a near recreational drug high. A caffeine pill with lots of water is the best way to take
it and negates the diuretic effects. Caffeine is also great state boost mid day if your mood is getting low.
Laughter
Going out with your buddies who can make you laugh is always a great state booster, especially when
you’re feeling down and don’t want to go. The most consistent though is throwing on a comedy, or
youtube videos, these can put you in state within 10/20 minutes.
Music
Powerful uplifting music is awesome for a quick state boost, I don’t go anywhere without
headphones.First thing in the morning is the most important time for music, the first thing I do when I
wake up is put my headphones in.
Fighting Your Way Out
Anger
In many ways depression is rage turned inwards. Harness that rage and let it motivate you and that you
won’t be a slave to it any more, that you won’t have another day destroyed. Then use that anger
(depression is anger) and focus towards the obstacles in your way and how you will be a glorious success.
Fight, strive, kick and claw your way up to a neutral mood.
Don’t Future Plan
Depression means you’re in mental survival mode, this means regrouping and directing all your energy
to lifting your present state. Don’t try and plan your future in a depressive state, all your future dreams
will look hopeless and stupid, this will push you further into a depressive state.
Waiting

This means telling yourself that this is a temporary state that will soon pass. Telling yourself that the
reality you’re experiencing is not objective.
Prayer
Prayer really means communion with God, all states are within you and so is God, by praying for God to
remove your depression you’re able to access other states. Its a comforting feeling to be able to rest
your burdens on God. You can also use meditation, they are both paths to the same thing.
Thought Blocking
More important than positive thinking is avoiding negative thinking, that means fighting hard when you
recognize yourself going to a depressive spiral, that means telling negative thoughts no, no, no! Thought
blocking is also crucial when you’re in the middle of depression, tell those negative thoughts to fuck off.
This is your most effective tool.
State Boosters
Use any of the state boosters listed above, with that said make sure to use Phenibut in moderation.
