How many Americans do you think are depressed?

Post by Temprano26 »

I read a stat that says 1 in 4 Americans are depressed. That is a quarter of the population but do you feel that is being too generous? There are also 70% of us taking prescription drugs. How many of those people are taking antidepressants?

I have seen a lot of frustrated depressed faces in America, far more than 1 in 4. I used to take antidepressants but I realized having a strong social safety net is better than any pill. I went on websites that advised me to have a lot of friends so you won't be depressed. THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT! When I go out and I am frustrated with all the anti-social people, that is why we are angry now and venting on here.

Whenever I become depressed, I wack off from over a thousand clips I have saved on my computers.
Xhamster, XVideos, PornHub, YouPorn, and Spankwire work wonders of an anti-depressant. And drink energy drinks in moderation, Vitamin B3 (i.e. Niacin), found in energy drinks, works wonders too. I have cases of Monster & Red Bull on deck, but I only consume moderately so I don't have a heart attack. Seriously, energy drinks are that bad for you if overconsumed.

A lot more than people realize...It's just that the U.S. is so damn politically correct, that it's impossible for people to criticize the culture or the country in any way, or as Winston mentioned many times before, you have to have a fake happiness everyday or you'll be ostracized by other Americans.

The way people speak, the way they look, the vibe they give off...it all points to depression. Americans are flat, with blunted affects, and it permeates everything they do. Most of them are trapped, don't even see that anything is wrong. They might have some dull feeling in their guts that something isn't right, but that's as far as it goes. If you've never lived outside of a box, and don't know any other way of life exists, then you're very limited. You might know that you aren't happy, but you won't have any idea why or how to fix it. You just assume that "that's life" as people say.
....Why can't all sane men...be born or live at one Place and do business <> Help each other.

Imagine all "Conspiracy Theorist" "Alternative Thinkers" Non-lame Stream people etc living in Manila ...in a huge Condo building occupying all the floors or living in a community in Alabang all by themselves. All People Woken Up by the Con moving to Philippines and living together. that's the cheapest , relatively free place to move


A sort of conspiracy community :) will decide all....We would decide who would be the security guard, from where water comes non-fluoridated, from where organic food comes, how much would be Association Dues - ...NO TV in the Conspiracy community .that would solve half the depression.

99% of depression comes with dealing with another human being. We would hire a permanent taxi cab for all of us to use that would eliminate half of the scum bags in Manila and the world :)

The restaurant, bar would be run by the community to hang out - It would be an effort to make sure all our dealings in our life are with guys who are woken up to the con.

No bill padding, No cheating - All Sane and Fare...

---------------

I hate Deposits.....Many things are presumed about men being A**holes....No Deposit, No late fee - There would be a generous Box - where in a person can donate to contribute to the development of the community. A person who is awakened would never Lie, Never Cheat...There is no reason for him to do so...So no reason for security deposit nor he will be crazy enough to break things up...Sane men don't do stupid things

Women are easily attaracted to what they see as beautiful...When our community grows...All the best non-feminist women would come to us...would love to live in a place that is peaceful, non-depressing. A community away from lame stream.

No room for retards...where you are surrounded by the sane folks whom the world calls insane :)...Is the tag line I'm opting to go with..If they get it...Then they are sane :lol: :lol: and ready to join..
