I was born a mute and both of my parents have passed away, I have no family left and zero friends because text-to-speech socializing is awkward and I'm quite frankly a very boring person.

Long story short my father passed away last July and I went shooting in August, usually I always went with my dad but I couldn't find any fun in it, I haven't been shooting since then and my collection has been collecting dust except for the cleaning every three months.

I feel like I have no interest left in them except maybe keeping a rifle for hunting and my 1911 for HD.

My depression has been reaching some near-suicide levels lately, I don't know whether I even want to keep a rifle and my 1911.

Are there any other anons who have depression/mental issues or know a way I can get that spark of interest reignited in guns?

contact someone, hell, anyone, some suicide hotline or some shit, I am sure there are groups out there that will give you company
maybe talk to someone at the range or something

In regards to you. Being depressed and realizing that in life you lose everything you love, is a part of living. You'll soon find little things that spark your inner flame, but it'll never burn like it once does.

We are all worn edges, refined by the lapping, endless waves of life.

Find someone to love, /k/omrade. It truly works wonders. Get a pet if you can afford it- someone or something depending on you can really give you drive to live. At least get one of those virtual girlfriends. But another person is best. Find someone to care about, who cares about you, and know that they love you, and you'll quickly remember why you're alive.

>tfw you realize a mute girl would pretty much be the ideal companion

Anyway, I feel your pain; I've been pretty depressed in the past, losing my business, half of my family kicking the bucket sent me into a years long funk.

>zero friends because text-to-speech socializing is awkward
>and I'm quite frankly a very boring person
And this also applied to me, excepting the whole mute thing. I started volunteering and doing things, anything to get out. Got into motorcycles, and joined a riding group on meetup.

One thing finally occurred to me: there's someone for everyone. I've met some damned weird people who by all rights should have been in the forever alone camp, if the universe was halfway sane. It's not sane, chum. Join in the insanity, and maybe you'll find some someones whose insanity complements your own---but you gotta make an effort.

protip: I've met some hot deaf chicks in my day, but I don't sign, so I might as well have been speaking Mongolian. You might have better luck in that department, and in relating to them in general, I suspect. Maybe find a group of people who share your condition?

OP YOU NEED TO CALL AND TALK WITH SOMEONE.
SPIT IT OUT.
JUST SAY IT.


SPEAK TO ME, JUST LET ME HEAR YOU SAY IT OUT LOUD JUST ONCE
but no seriously, i have experience with the depression thing. Think about it, depressed means "a state situated lower than the average."
To fight depression, you lift yourself to a higher state. Your spirit is down. At an all time low. Do something that is an all time high. ...but don't do drugs they are mostly just depressants. Not that type of high. Do things to spark up your spirits. Get thr guns and start going to the range, it will help. But unless you're only partially depressed, it won't cure.

Get out there and do something exciting op.

OP you should try a mild hallucinogen.

Like Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds.

Chew up a dozen or grind them in a coffee blender, or mortar, eat them, and before you breathe wash your mouth out with lemon juice and swallow because it tastes nasty as fuck.

Hallucinogens have valuable medicine properties.

Also OP I'm on the same boat as you except my brother is the only person i know into firearms. I visit him as often.
As i can with work and shit. (He lives like 2 hours away, not that bad but i have work everyday) so i go with him whenever i get a day off or such. Other than that my life is pretty dreadful, i live in the shittiest neighborhood because poorfag, my mother has EXPLICITLY told me she doesnt love any of us after we grew up. And my other brother hates me because of my abusive father ( he left when i was roughly 7) so my bro, my cat, guns, vidya, sex, outdoors, and offroading are the only things keeping me alive tb.h fa.m.

Weed is technically a hallucinogen but no more than alcohol is. That's why I didn't recommend weed.

It might help if he does it a few times. Getting stoned, eating everything in the house, and chilling out can be very healthy to depressed people. I'm depressed and I don't eat as much as I should.

The weird thing about depression and guns is that it'll vary between people the mental effect they bring. For me, they actually bring happiness, specifically the ones that are historical. I'll manically disassemble and reassemble my AK, trying to get the quickest time, whenever I have a depression episode. I'll practice reloading exercises with my M57. I'll wipe and lubricate my M48A.

I think it all comes down to your personality and your sense of material worth, whether an object is simply just an object or something more than that.

Since you did not answer my question, I'll just tell you what a TTY is: It can let two people type messages over the phone with a keyboard and display, much like me insulting you over the internet right now. Just because the FAQ only says hearing impaired does not mean that's all it does.

A few others have already voiced this but, as some one that lives with PTSD and depression, see help first, fire arms can wait. Go on a random chat site, talk to people, trust me it does help, some times it only takes one person to take interest to make all the difference you need, or find interest in another hobbie, something to get that spark of life going again. there are people that will like you for who you are. I made the mistake once of believing there wasn't. I came back home in 2003, by 2004 I was back at my old job, just the same grind every day. One day on my way in, I just snapped, turned around and went home. I walked into my room and opened my lock box, took out my pistol and stuck in in my mouth, I almost pulled the trigger, a song stopped me, forgot to turn off the radio when I left, Jimmy Eat World: The Middle. I broke down. Music became my let out, helped me find a few people, after that I went back to gaming, it was rough going, specially with the PTSD but, I made it, you can too, there is more to life out there, you just have to look for it.
Stay strong, you can do this.

Shrink here. I could post my degree if I can find it in my old boxes.

1) Suicide is never the answer. Never. There is always a solution and with help from other humans that answer is very much in reach. It's a dumb response to an issue or issues that can be fixed.

2) Start seeing a shrink 1x per week. This is the start of the turnaround for nearly all people struggling with an issue. It takes time, but these people can help you feel good again, if you let them. I guess you would need one who can communicate by text?

3) Start doing things little by little to get outside and move around. Walks, runs, bike rides, swim in a pond, etc...

4) Take a look at your diet, junk food and poor emotions go hand in hand.

Anyway, I could go on. But I'd get into therapy. You can fix all this.

And have a friend hold on to your guns if you are ever considering suicide.

Shrinks cost money that I don't really have, I've been to one before when I was a kid and it just made everything worse.

That and the moment I mention suicidal thoughts my gun rights are probably going out the window.

I've been exercising and I've ate healthy (other than going to Denny's on Saturday nights after work) for the last two years.

I don't know, maybe guns just aren't for me or maybe I only enjoyed them because my dad would take me shooting.

Well, since you can hear just fine, maybe sell a gun and buy an instrument and learn said instrument. Music is a wonderful thing that doesn't only have to be heard. Make it. When you make it sound good enough, maybe you'll start really appreciating it.

Sorry if that sounds like the gayest thing you've ever heard, and I know everyone deals with shit differently, but I figured since we've all thrown in suggestions, I may as well put that one in.

Playing off of what other anons have said, perhaps you could use a dating service to find someone similar to you, making new friends or something. A pet would also be great. Both of these have been discussed by another anon, and I'm sure you've read their post. Just having something that depends on you should keep you going, hopefully.

So what if you're boring? Hell, I know you can't speak, but I know I'm guilty of not even leaving the fucking house for days at a time when I don't have shit to do, and yet somehow people still find an interest in me. I'm sure some people would love to learn about you and your struggle, even if you can't tell them directly. Maybe a support group or some shit like that?

Again, I realize all of this varies on a person to person basis, but hot damn, I really think you could benefit from some form of human interaction, and finding a friend in this world really gives you something that reignites your will to live.

Anyway, I'm rambling. I wish you all the best, anon. I don't know you, but Christ, I love you. It'd be a sad day to lose any /k/ommando. :(

>>30171261
Get a dog, anon. Seriously. That will help a lot. It'll give you a reason to get outside and someone that will love you back even when the rest of your life is shitty.

>>30174070
Also good advice. If you've got any musical inclination at all I'd seriously consider learning an instrument. You can play music with other people and really get close to them that way without having to speak.

I'm not surprised you wouldn't enjoy shooting while mourning your father's death. Give it a try again, though. Just kick yourself and go to the range and shoot a brick of .22 or something. I bet you will feel better afterwards.

That's rough, OP. Being a hasguns suicidal person is rough. If you ever seriously think about doing it, call a suicide hotline. I always guage my suicidal ideation by the completion of my plan, and if I hit 90% I call a hotline. If it happens a lot I'd reccomend maybe putting your guns away from your home for a while. Idk if its secure or not but maybe an indoor storage facility? BTW, don't sell off your guns, I guarantee you will regret it. Especially considering they probably have some good memories of your father attached to them, whether you're aware of it or not.

As for finding something to reinvigorate your shooting hobby, maybe get into competitive stuff or just do something like IDPA? Or maybe just handle your guns and take them apart and clean em well. I got into hobbyist gunsmithing after I started taking proper care of my guns, theyre fascinating mechanically.

In regard to having friends, I'd reccomend getting a Harley motorcycle. That's like, instant cool friends. Maybe find a local deaf/mute support group? I knew a deaf kid in highschool whose parents were deaf too, and they all went to some kind of social club and they had barbecues and shit.

You guys have never helped me, and once one tried to put me on lithium or some other shit the very first day i got there. Seriously, ive got some bitterness towards your profession, and its way too easy to give a kid ritalin or some fucked up mood stabilizer.

Whenever i come across a shrink, psychiatrist, psychologist, what the fuck ever, i immediately assume youre a fucking quack who honestly couldnt give two shits whether the improvement was real or long term, as long as i "feel better".

You seriously need to get your professional community together and clean up your fucking act. Maybe one cares, maybe theres an exception. But the information given out at drug dependency courses and AA is infinitely more valuable and productive than your snake oil bullshit.

I agree, they push the pills way too hard, especially the antidepressants, which only succeeded in making me fat and pathetic. They take away your control and give you a numbing almost burning ache in your head, but what's scary is how the effect creeps up on you. 2 years of my life, gone.

But I found another doc who seems to care a bit more, and hooked it up with adderall when I asked, I have an interview on Tuesday.

What's really telling is how much insurance covers of the respective medicines, the antidepressants were $2.xx while the generic adderall is ~$40.

I don't like being depressed but I hate feeling numb, and they don't mind making you into just another state-dependent zombie.

There are boards, forums, facebook groups, websites, twitters and whatnot made by mute people for mute people. Join one or many, OP. You'll see you're not alone, you're not the only one, you'll find peers who suffer their oen ordeals every day just like you do.

Guns are on a second plane here, maybe you haven't finished grieving your dad and that's why his guns bring you no fun. Maybe. Your depression needs to be taken care of first.

I lost my dad, my mom was diagnosed with cancer, nearly divorced and had my 3 year old boy hospitalized, all at the same time while I started my own business as a freelancer. I started having panic and anxiety attacks, I'm usually verborragic but I became unable to speak with others, terrified of looking for new customers, unable to keep my compromises with existing ones... My life went to shit and I've looked down the barrel of my pistol more than once.

Just don't do it. Keep writing about it, seek advice -I'd only recommend you going to a more friendly site, and a more specific one. 4chan can easily turn on you, and /k/? The main cause of your problems isn't /k/ related, fix that and you'll enjoy guns again (ir perhaps you'll find you don't really care for guns or whatever).

Depression is fine. We live in a depressing world. Depression was how I found morality. Morality beyond just sating people's desires and not offending them. If it weren't for depression, I'd probably be at a Sanders rally right now or something. Depression is right.

Therapists can't prescribe medication. Psychiatrists or medical doctors can.

My mother, who's a therapist, used to rent office space from a psychiatrist. He would see patients for 5-15 minutes, just to keep the prescription current, and get paid obscene fees for it.

Meanwhile, my mother spends 50 minutes with a patient for each session, if you don't count the additional time for case notes and reflection each week before the next session.

Psychoanalysis, let alone counseling, is not psychiatry. I don't know how many times I'll have to correct this misunderstanding on this board.

I will admit that psychoanalysis isn't entirely scientific, but we have quite a ways to go before our understanding of the human brain, and mind for that matter, is sufficient where purely medical intervention can solve mental issues (that time may be never). Until then, counseling can be helpful, whether its built upon the ideas of Freud, Jung, Lacan, or even cognitive behaviorists instead. But don't bother if you think it's bullshit, you'll just be wasting your time and money. Therapy can help, if you approach it with an open mind, and if you're semi-willing to be an open book.

DISREGARD THIS ADVICE IF YOU LIVE IN CALIFORNIA. After the Supreme Gentleman's virginal killing spree in Isla Vista, California psychotherapists were empowered to get patients' guns taken away by police if they feel they're a sufficient danger. While normally, strict confidentiality would open a therapist to lawsuits if they broke doctor-patient confidentiality for any reason, they were given legal immunity on the gun thing.

Buy a basic USB gamepad, plug it into your computer, then go and download emulators and roms.

Check out whatever on the SNES and Genesis, True Lies is a fun shooter, and surprisingly pretty damn good for a movie license game.

Or you could get invested in cooking, it's really fun to try out things.

As for guns, you could try radical things, make it a project to build a 9mm "assault pistol", something that uses a G3 grip and trigger group as a base, feeding of Uzi or Glock mags, or make some sort of retro AR-15 build, perhaps make yourself a bump-SAW from an RPK build

They refer to each other, and to someone who is so fucking depressed they don't know any better, they'll take whatever advice is given.

Ive run into them referring to a psychiatrist in-house many times. I was generalizing you all together intentionally because thats how i view it. You didnt correct shit. I know the difference. The willing cooperation makes them the same to me mr. Technicality. The counselors also work from the same baseline, the dsm, which is edited for ever increasing ranges of mental disorders, conveniently enough, more people with mental disorders means more pill bottles to fill.

Im sure your mother is a paragon of virtue and moral rectitude.

As far as trying to answer your last question OP. If you could find a couple of shooting guys to go to the range with, it may help get you back into enjoy shooting, or at least make it bearable. Getting used to your parents not being here anymore can take a spell. When i get depressed i don't like big groups of people around me, but a few are okay. Dunno how you are gonna find them tho, maybe check the nuggetfests here or whatever threads pertaining to your area, they'll prolly be a bunch of assholes, lol, but they sure won't try to "fix" you, and you may find a couple regular shooting buddies.get you back on the Road

Fellow mute here, did you never learn sign language anon?

Seems weird, everyone I've met like me has.

As for the whole depression thing, I don't know if how I got out of it could help you.

What helped me find meaning was just realizing this was my one shot at life and if I gave up now, I'd end up missing out on everything that could happen afterwards.

Anyway, hopefully you feel better. We're all here for you .

Whatever you do always remember that death is not the end of anything or the solution to anything.

Death is like unplugging the computer.

If you want to solve any problems do it in life because killing yourself will only leave them unsolved forever.

Also dont think of death as a relief or "going to a comfy place" away from your problems. You dont go anywhere when you die. Nothingness awaits you.

You think your life is meaningless you can't even imagine how meaningless death is.

But you can manipulate the guy fucking your wife into hitting and abusing her so she comes back crying to your arms.

That would give you the upper hand with your kid and more time and space to take further actions.

I'm dead serious. I did Google it but I'm curious to hear about it for an actual person here on /K/, like what's the sensation like , do you have an urge to talk? Is it physiological, psychological ? That kind of stuff. Forgive me if it's not weapons related, just curious
>>
>>30176299
Sensation? There isn't really one. I've been mute since birth. There really is no urge to talk, but I wish I could. Would make things a bit easier. My life is fine though, I guess. Dating a girl that knows sign language because her dad is deaf and she usually interprets for me. Things are going well, for the most part.

As for why? I was born basically without vocal chords. There are some psychological effects as well. Either I was born without well developed speech centers or they just never developed, but spoken language requires a bit of focus to really comprehend. Can't whisper because I don't know how to form words. And supposedly if I were to get magic surgery, I probably wouldn't be able to talk anyway because there would be some psychological block.

It's something that's sort of interesting but hasn't really affected me that much on its own. I was a friendless loser for a long time, but that's more having overbearing parents and being homeschooled than anything. Everything is pretty good right now. Gonna head to college, get my degrees for free because my parents are rich, and inherit a decent sum of money at 21.

Kind of understand how you probably feel socially. I'm not mute but I might as well be when if comes to socialization anywhere but online behind at least partial anonymity. The loneliness is the worst. No stranger to depression either, lately getting that bad enough that it's been causing what qualifies as nightmares for me.

As far as guns you can always set a related goal or two, give yourself a challenge. There's also always more guns to shoot. If you have not messed with them there's binary explosive targets for an added rush. Something that makes me a little happier is working the actions of my guns and inspecting them. The sounds are pleasing.

Learn to sign, go meet some deaf people.

I deal with depression, but thankfully hardly at all the last few years. Trick I use is that when I start to feel that malaise coming, I get the fuck out of my apartment and take a walk or do something before all my motivation disappears. Learn to recognize the signs. Favorite vidyagame you were excited about, you play five minutes and say "fuck it, this is boring?" Go outside. Hungry but don't want to cook because it's hard? Walk to the store and buy some pasta and spaghetti sauce. The key is momentum. It's easier to stay active and happy if you're already active, and harder to get active if you're already shut down, so know your own warning signs and start doing literally *anything* else the moment you feel it coming. Get outside your house and walk until an idea comes to you, no matter how tired and lazy you feel. Your will feel more tired and lazy in ten minutes and by then it's likely too late to avoid another evening or three of lethargy.

If you're forklift certified you could always try to get a job somewhere that isn't in a -40 freezer. Lots of people need forklift drivers.

If you don't already have a dog, get a dog. You can train it to respond to non-verbal commands. Having another life to care for does a lot for your emotional well-being. It doesn't matter how you feel, she will still need to walk and be fed and played with, and having that imperative in your life is a great way to not wallow in your own misery. Finally, dogs are literally evolved and bred to respond to human emotions and social interactions.

Try to find a muted girl, there are lots of associations made to help people with these types of situations. You will socialize a lot and do activities with people that really understands you and can speak and understand signs language. Even if you can't find a girl with your same situation, you are going to make new friends and get emotional support.
Other good options is go to your local Church, even if you don't believe in God. And as other anons said, a pet would be great, specially dogs.
Also, NEVER go to a psychologist, they will just drug you and take your rights, because when you figure as depressed in a government list, you are fucked. No guns, no freedom, nothing.
Good luck anon, be strong, I don't know you but I really love you.

A cat can be just as helpful for depression. Not trying to start a cat vs dog debate, but cats do have an advantage for depressed people in that they don't require as much maintenance. I love both animals. For me though, when I'm feeling down about something, and my cat suddenly busts into my room, purring and chirping, and jumps up on my lap, that sadness melts away so quickly. That little guy has saved me in so many ways.

If you're going the suicide route, use an exit bag. There's a high probability that a gunshot won't kill you, just leave you braindead or mentally retarded. Especially if you put the gun to the temple. Here's a site for the exit bag: http://lostallhope.com/suicide-methods/plastic-bag-gas

However, I'd recommend against that. I battle suicidal thoughts on a daily basis, but suicide won't help. I highly recommend seeing a psychiatrist or a psychologist. DON'T tell them you're suicidal though. They can cart you away and have your rights removed. Just talk to them about other issues. My therapist is fucking worthless, but at least venting once a week keeps suicide delayed for another week.

I've thought all my life about working in a dockyard driving those big container cranes or the yard forklifts that move the containers, somewhere by the ocean with that breeze and sunshine all day and the smell of heavy machinery.

Other than that I wanted to be a navy diver so bad, I'm deeply fascinated by the ocean and I wanted to fight sharks for my country since they're obviously planning something down there.

I'm just hesitant to pack up and move without a guaranteed job and I'm even more hesitant nobody would give me one because I can't speak.

Just getting this job took going through nearly six months of putting in applications at the unemployment agency, if it weren't for the really nice manager who interviewed me finally giving me a break when nobody else would I wouldn't even have this one.
>>
>>30186105

Regarding the dock jobs, you could start saving for a move, and start applying to dock jobs on the coast. Think of it as a sort of hobby.

The fact that you aren't close enough for in-person interviews might be to your advantage, because you could do a lot of your communication via e-mail and text message, which would give you a way to get to know the people hiring you and let you tell them you're mute, while using a text-based medium.

The other benefit to this is, if you eventually get a job on the coast, it is going to be in a larger city than where you live now, presumably with better support infrastructure and more people like you.

OP, depression is really really difficult and I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time. I know it's ridiculous to hear because you are incapable of realizing it, but things can and will get better. all you need is to find the right catalyst to initiate this.
If you don't like guns so much anymore, that's okay, you don't need to force yourself into this hobby. You should join online groups or something, as many as you can. Just put yourself out there.
