Warning: don't read if you are offended by blunt opinions.
Really, don't.
If you read it and feel the need to go all nerd-raging, you should have stopped at the warning.





You probably aren't depressed. You probably are just a nerd who never did anything except playing videogames and reading other nerds' blogs on the internet.
Now you are probably bored shitless and decided to put yourself in that category of people who love to self-diagnose random bullshit like "I'm depressed", "I'm OCD" "I'm ADD" "I have asperger" and promptly proceed to start ingurgitating medicaments like it's fucking candies.
And god forbid if someone dares to tell you aren't depressed but just an anti-social nerd.

You are from the US, correct?

You don't need a fucking 'professional'. Just stop thinking about what OTHER PEOPLE think about you and start doing anything that doesn't involve a PC or sitting on your ass for 12 hours straight.
Rarely I've seen people not benefit from something as simple as running.
It's inexpensive (get a pair of decent shoes and that's it).
You can do whenever and wherever you want.
You can adapt it to yourself, adjusting times/distances/speed.
It literally has no downsides at all, unless you terribly overdo it.
It will improve your health, your shape and your mood (look it up yourself with your mad internet skills).
You can meet new people if you do it in the right places.
Watching your progress will boost your self esteem.
It's likely to lead you to trying other, more interesting sports/outdoor hobbies.
If you split it appropriately with other, non-phyical activities, you will appreciate them even more.
If anything, you will be tired and fall asleep instead of over-thinking random bullshit or watching youporn.

If you still think you are "depressed" after a couple months of doing anything that doesn't involve your room and a fucking computer, go see someone.

If you're sad, it's your own fault you stupid nerd! lol get bodied

No. If you can't be in the slight compassionate about somebody else, and clearly have no idea what you're talking about, don't give advice to people.

And yet people could do a lot worse than following his advice:  get out of the house and try new stuff, meet new people, get some exercise...

He didn't ask for compassion. He did ask for advice. In the wrong place, if you ask me, given the nature of his problem. If he asked for compassion, someone should have pointed him to the nearest church.
Do you know why most obese people stay obese? Because people around them are "compassionate" instead of saying them "You are disgusting, stop whining and stop eating like a walrus". In a slightly more elaborate way obviously.

Also, "get bodied"? Running a few miles a couple days a week equates to "getting bodied"?
Look at the OP. Half of it revolves around the author sitting on his ass in front of a pc, wich is the main cause of the problem. How do you fix problems? By removing the cause. Wich means going outside, in this case, doing something different, increasing the chances of meeting new people. Worst case scenario, nothing will change (extremely unlikely). It surely isn't going to hurt him in any way.

The advice itself is fine, the rudeness of it is unnecessarily. Ai Shizuka you can of been just as blunt without being insulting, right? You could of given the exact same advice without the insults, yes?

I'm calling BS on this one. Seriously man have you actually ever seen this work? Yeah, I get that sometimes you have to point out to the person that the reason there overweight is all the chocolate cake there eating or whatever, but the insults?? What the #$@!%?

To Person: My advice is what ever else you do, ignore obnoxious people like our "friend" Ai above. The exercise bit, good advice. If your not big on running just walk a bit. Even just down to the local park or something. If it's somewhere where there's a lake or river with ducks even better. Listening to ducks always seems to clear my head. As far as I'm concerned they know where it's at. They don't bother feeling insecure or depressed like humans do, they're just "Qwack", "Qwack", "Qwack" all day long. Fantastic attitude to my mind.

As far as the meds go, cut down if you can (talk to your doctor about this of course). The less of that shit in your system the better in my opinion. They shouldn't be a long time solution, they can cause as many problems as they solve. There's a fair chance they are there interfering with your head's ability to sort through your problems. I'm off course not a doctor & don't know you personally, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. On the other hand, one of my closest friends is a diagnosed Schizophrenic. He was in a bad way for a long time & then started getting better. When I asked him what had changed he said "I realized there was nothing wrong with me & I stopped taking the drugs". Interesting, considering every psychiatrist he talked to called his "condition" "incurable". Hopefully you'll realize the same eventually & work out things out.

Realistically, there is nothing wrong with you. If your "different" then your different, so what? Nothing wrong with being different. If you've got problems, well so do most people. Your's might be worse or not. You'll always have problems, life's full of them. Learn to appreciate the parts that aren't problems. I don't personally know you, I can't really judge. What I can say is: At the end of the day there is nothing wrong with you.

Edited a bit for clarity

Insulting? Because I called him a nerd? He's pretty much calling himself a nerd.
I'm not the one "calling BS" on other people's opinion. Don't worry, I don't feel insulted.

Let's compare.
I gave him pretty solid, easy to put in practice advice, wich in the absolutely worst scenario will not accomplish anything, but it's very likely to provide concrete benefits in various aspects of his life. But I'm offensive and obnoxious, so I should be ignored.

You told him to watch ducks.
You also told him there's nothing wrong with him. The incredibly effective "unique snowflake" attitude. Everyone's a winner. Wild guess again: you too are from the US?
Except the guy himself is clearly telling how everything about his life is wrong and he wants to change it. But no, let's tell him how special he is.
He told us he's sitting in front of his monitor for hours, doing nothing, and feeling like shit about it.
But there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, italicized for emphasis. Right?

Wrong. Not everyone is from the US you know.

Shizuka, people who are offensive and obnoxious are quite realistically ignored or disparaged in a lot of situations. I realise this is a popular concept in television shows and movies, but somebody who is a jerk but 'gets things done' is not really that respected, all the more so if they aren't 'getting things done' but instead yelling at somebody who's asking for help.
