I'm feeling super depressed and thought buying something from the internet...not amazon...would cheer me up. Can't find a single thing to cheer me up. Not even a new video game.
Edit: thanks for the words. Send stuff

What that from?

Lupin the 3rd, one of the movies, "The Blood Spray of Goemon Ishikawa" is real good

Therapy is the correct answer. Google anhedonia. That's what you are experiencing. it's symptom of depression and you need treatment.

2/2... If you have not been taking care of yourself, take a shower and put on clean clothes. Improving the basics can help you out of a rut.

Buy a couple haunted dolls on Ebay. You can give them to someone for Christmas.
EvilCatCreations
I want one, whoever my SS is this year! ?

Therapy, spend it on therapy. Depression is a state of mind and no small dose of dopamine will fix it. You can train your brain, get therapy
zafner
Go for a walk. I would recommend Iceland
gtotherizzle
Stay the fuck off Amazon...look for a very local non-religious charity

I bought myself a gym membership and I’m starting to feel better. Didn’t think it would help much but it really has helped.
BunchaCrunchOfHuman
Buy some dope toys to donate to toys for tots or whatever
TheeRealDuke
Sometimes using it to make other people feel the way you want to feel is what does the trick.

Don't buy. Create. A simple hobby such as whittling your own figurines can bring pride and contentment through learning a discipline
kimiDriver
Go to the local shelter or food bank and volunteer or donate money.
Pownater255
Find a good website. Buy a few rubber ducks, and hand them out to a few people. Spread confusion and joy

Dammit. That’s got some cool stuff.
ItSeemsYouHaveSufferedaTerribleFate
Buying crap is no way to make yourself feel better. Get some good food, catch up on some rest and you might see some happy chemicals return.
metalrulercid
Try getting something to gift someone. Making someone happy helps me be happy too
CraziPali
Whenever I feel this way I start spending money on the people that need it or invest it so it grows and can find when I am ready to spend it
bringitbon8675
Try a book. The spellmonger series did it for me.
drews22846
Donate to a charity that means something to you. For me it would be a local animal shelter.
Donku83
Have you tried buying...
LucidPariah
That video was never long enough and I'm surprised fortnite didn't rip off that dance to!
RetrogradeLlama
Spend it on a donation to an animal shelter and feel good about what you "bought".
VodkaReindeer
You do a donation for free if you donate blood.

I can never get people to stay still long enough.

Then volunteer, and pet them 8)
Charlawilliams70
Walk them and play with them and love them and get love in return!!!
ThisMayBeMyLastPost
Go to an animal shelter, ask if you can walk one of the dogs. Buy it a toy and treats
EvilAbedsBoneSaw
Invest in your mental health & pay a therapist. A purchase is a stopgap fix, but working on yourself is rewarding & lasts a lifetime.
critikaster
I was gonna say do drugs but this may be better
missmerk
This is an excellent call.
mitch0665
If you are down forget about the money. get your ass out into nature for a couple day’s shut down all the electric devices seriously do it
comnakr
Seriously, get some sunlight on your skin, some dirt on your feet. Maybe take some shrooms while you’re doing it.
StarsetSkies
Great, he can go be depressed out in nature for that awesome ✨seasonal depression✨, then come back to his normal inside depression
mitch0665
Science has proven that 45 minutes of outside time in nature unplugged. Increases personal happiness. In depressed people at over 60%
StarsetSkies
What science? Which study? Peer-reviewed and backed sources for this? Because it definitely doesn't help everyone, which is something I 1
mitch0665
As a person that struggles I can attest that it does help it’s not perfect but it does raise your spirits in myself.
StarsetSkies
That's nice, glad you have one source of coping and I'm genuinely glad it helps some people. But lots of others will try to sell it as a 1
StarsetSkies
myself know personally. It's not an end-all, be-all solution, as nothing is. I've tried this, others try it to, doesn't mean that it works 2

Have you tried eating a 15lb block of cheese?
OrRo77
I gorged on a block of cheese and crackers and ended up super constipated. Thought I was done for. Very painful and horrifying
Thefear1984
Or a wheel of cheese? Might I suggest Manchego?
ottogonzo
Buy someone else something that brings them joy
jonjoncarlisle
I can't believe how far down this very obvious suggestion is.
Shpielers
Works even better if you care about them, but actually isn't a requirement.
RabbitRevenge
have you tried hookers and blow?
IcommentMostlyWithGifs
Yes
DonLeBeef
Hookers and blow FTW
TheDutchSwedish
Temporary happiness. But that’s ok
CaptSchmidtGaming
temporary happiness is better than indefinite suffering.
outtaleftfield
Possibly lasts longer than buying a thing. Idk, never done blow
grandestoptimist
Short lived and expensive. Also a very rough comedown if you’ve made a night of it.
TheDutchSwedish
Pretty rough indeed, especially as I’m normally flying the next day.
firefighter26
I'll take temporary happiness over life's daily grind until I die or retire any day of the week!
Phyns
Psychedelics give lasting happiness. Ain't nothin wrong with coke and hookers though
MrPeterCapaldi
Grab a pizza, a fleshlight, and invite homeless people over for dinner.
DrasticBastard
And a show.
XstonedraiderX
Grab someone else a pizza it’s the real high

hiyesthisissatan
Why do you need a fleshlight if you have a homeless person?

Dirty mike - the other guys

Dirty Mike and the Boys

i hope you mean to do/use these on different occasions

Obviously. Pizza first, then the rest

Then it wouldn't be a party.

What about something to do? A vacation or fun day trip
battlesword83
Six flags!
ActuallyMadeOfCheese
This. Experiences work very differently to possessions.
SerenityBrownCoatLover7
Yes! Get some perspective on life go to the Grand Canyon or to a mountain resort for a weekend. Disconnect from the bustle!
quelin
Every so often I just pick a direction and go that way for a bit, maybe a day, maybe 4. local museums, forts, et al.
StevenNick
Vacations stink alone. Bring a total stranger, sometimes it's more fun that way.
dmjalund
Go on a tour
koboshi
Did that once, it wasn’t fun.
arianerd
There are trips for solo travelers, they're the best
LlamaEaters
Real problem - I'm terrified of doing things like these alone and have no clue how to start doing them.
shimmerkitten
What, vacations? Start with treating yourself to a nice dinner, build up to doing a nice dinner at a hotel where you stay the night etc etc.
shimmerkitten
Also, people are not as interested in you as you think they are. People have their own worries/thoughts/interests to think about.
Shpielers
Sorry, that sucks. As a big introvert, I can't even fathom that.
