>I didn't know it was that easy.

I think you may have misunderstood that point.

1) this is a tip especially about depression and not specifically directed at the topic.
as mentioned in the beginning, a lot of the things said are speaking in general. there are
more people looking for help on /dis from time to time and a thread like this can stay
here for a rather long time. so not everything in the long text must be for you.

2) sexual activity of course includes anything one can do alone. the reason for that tip is,
that the human brain produces endorphins when the body is sexually active.
not everybody knows this. it can be very helpful when fighting sadness and depression instead of
taking drugs. and nothing is ever easy. this is not a fix, or a solution either, it just helps
a bit to get in a better mood.

> Now's the part when you tell me

it definitely is not. I try not to assume anything about anyone, which is also not easy. :)
and about the "better myself" - if you read the whole text, you'll find that I said the opposite,
more or less. people should be accepted the way they are and respected either way, again not
presuming or implying anything.

I find it remarkable, that the point about sex of all things triggered your anger.

I can imagine, that the way you reacted could be one reason for your issues.

- You did not read the whole thing
- took something that wasn't meant for you out of context
- assumed the worst
- got angry
- went into an offended reaction

I am telling you this, because it feels like looking in a mirror. I know this pattern from myself.
this is hurting you, because reactions like that piss others off.
again speaking from own experience. you are hurting yourself this way because feeling misunderstood,
not taken serious and being angry all the time is painful enough if it is for a good reason.
If it happens constantly for no good reason, it'll just give you an ulcer.

look, I honestly tried to offer some helpful points from my own experience, not rope you into a cult.
while at it, I wrote down some more stuff that may be helpful to others.
the whole thing took me at least 2 hours thinking about how to write it.

to be perfectly clear: I did / do not expect anything from you and am not offended.
maybe a tiny bit disappointed, that you did not find anything useful and instead got angry,
but that is also ok. I did not write this to get a reaction. I wrote it, because as mentioned
I have been battling my own big problems for many years and looking for answers found mostly bullshit,
greed, misunderstanding, hatred and so on.
So i tried to write something, that I myself would have considered helpful if I found
it on the web. And I wrote it for anyone in trouble and stumbling upon this, looking for answers.
So someone else may feel a bit less alone or misunderstood. And most of all, not patronized.

Especially the last one seems to have backfired, judging by your "better myself" comment.
I'm sorry about that. Patronizing is the absolute worst, not much I hate more.

I wish you strength and good luck with your own fight against your demons.
From my experience, it never ends.
