here's what i've tried:

therapy

SSRIs

antipsychotics instead of SSRIs (never again)

daily exercise

eating healthy

"journaling"

various supplements

spending time outside every day

Ritalin

spending time in nature

other shit i can't think of right now

nothing really helps. low energy, persistent anhedonia, suicidal ideation by the end of the day, etc.

there's "depression" among "normal" people and then there is recognition of our malignantly useless reality. there's no cure for the latter so the only salve is to seek out Other Worlds (imho ymmv).

If nothing's worked, maybe you never got to the actual cause. Most people journal wrong, they vent but don't ask hard questions. Try cutting out whatever drains you and figure out what's missing. That's usually where the real problem is.

Try this:

Dopamine detox

Silence and time alone (no phone)

Brutally honest journaling

Fewer stimulants, more walks

Cold showers

Dig into childhood stuff (seriously)

That's all. Take it or leave it.

big pharma or little daily 'hacks' will never save you. the solution is making your lifestyle appealing long term and the rest is just as good as it can be. if you're seriously depressed, you'll end up with the coroner sooner rather than later if you keep searching for a 'solution.' depression is about survival, not a cure.

Give earthing a shot. Try an earthing mat bought online or you can just put your feet into a wet/muddy patch of natural dirt for a while. Or go swimming in the ocean when you can.

Check your testosterone.

If your free testosterone is under 400 (and I bet it is) get on testosterone replacement therapy. Your symptoms are consistent with low testosterone and/or high estrogen but big pharma would rather tell you you're "depressed" and needs SSRIs or some prancing lib therapist.
