>>17272042Male depression is nearly always a result of learned helplessness. But health providers treat it like female depression and try to make men feel loved instead of powerful. We need to increase our power and agency above all things.
You need to increase your locus of control. Even if ~everything is out of your control (shit parents, shit living environment, never mind politics that no regular person has control over), there are things still WITHIN your control. For example, you can control your body (e.g. by exercising and eating right) and you can control your learning.
Get the following two books from
libgen.rs: "Learned Optimism" and "The Liberated Mind" and start from there.
There is also a thread on
