Depressed. Should I quit ?

You obviously do not understand a single thing about clinical depression. Cut that "man up" bs out.
Attitudes like that are exactly the reason why we're still losing people to depression every single day,
and why most suicides are still committed by men who suffer in silence because they fear reaching out thanks to people like you and humiliating reactions such as yours.

Depressed men are neither feminine nor weak.
Depression is neither unmanly nor a character flaw.
It is a well-researched serious illness that more often than not ends deadly,
and you cannot pull yourself out of severe depression just through determination and "manning up".

I also wanna remind you that you're 19.
So wtf are you even talking about, "you wanna be a man?", "finish this right of passage", and earning your respect like you're some experienced 60 year old man who's been through all the trials and tribulations of life. Sorry for being so frank, but you don't know jack shit about life at 19. You're not even biologically a man, yet, you're a teenager. I think you might have seen one too many fast and furious tough guy movies.

 

Thanks for the insight, I hadn't seen his previous comment where he says he is in flat out depression, I was more approaching it as if he was just getting tired and needs a kick in the ass of inspiration, but depression requires a little bit longer of an inspirational speech or conversation to cause action

Despite that, I absolutely believe determination can get you out of depression, no one can help you but yourself ultimately. You can get advice but it's up to you to act and break negative brain patterns.

I'll ignore the personal attacks on manhood as if you know me, but if you see age as an ultimate disqualifier so be it.

P.s. What's your profile image? I thought it was an eightfold path image but I was mistaken, is it hindu?

Cheers!

 

What happens then is that you get even more benefits.

 

I'm not a believer in SR so I see no harm in O during healthy sex. However if you are, you can just practice sex without O.

 

I don't know cause every body's reboot is different. If you feel you can do it, go for it.

 

From experience, it's BECAUSE you're depressed that you shouldn't quit.
