>Overwhelming anxiety and chronic depression have invaded my last line of defense (ie music)
Anyanons know about this feel? I can't even concentrate a little. Notes fly over my head. What do?
>>65676666
I know the feel, anon. Could use a little advice, myself.
>>65676666
>>65676688
listen to noise for a while then get back to your regular thing
Feel Bump
>>65676666
LIsten to Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock. They're my go to existential depression albums. Have a hot bath while you listen or something
You'll be ok family
>>65676666
loneliness causes stress
get a job where you have to interact with others constantly
>>65676666
listen to slower music
>>65677361
normie meme. Not OP but socializing when depressed makes me 100 times worse
>go to bar with friends
>random surfer dude bros come up to me
>CRACK A SMILE BRO WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU
>>65676666
listen to something you have never listened to, try to get into new totally different music and just stick with it, whether you like it or not. this new experience and even the disdain for that music will hopefully drown your depression. and maybe you'll come to like the music even.
iktfb i feel so dumb, but i just can't concentrate
drugs
>>65677384
I didn't tell you to be lonesome among other people, not go out or something. I told you to get a job, where you have to interact with people (customers) and your team. you have to be forced to interact in a professional and not a casual manner. that gives you stability and a purpose.
but it has a caveat, it only works if you don't hate everyone.
going for walks at night while listening to something really atmospheric works for me
>>65677412
what kind of idiot actually likes people lmao?
>>65677410
quite the opposite. it's the daily drugs, like coffeine that messes up your ability to focus if you overdo them.
only drugs worthwhile are psychedelics.
>>65677433
>coffeine
holy kek
>>65677427
those idiots who are not so stuck up that they even start to hate the things they used to love
>>65677433
>only drugs worthwhile are psychedelics.
you were doing so well before this
>>65677433
Don't be that retard that thinks psychedelics don't have the potential to fry your brain
>>65677437
>>65677444
diversity of opinion on /mu/ I like
get a retail job
>>65677452
of course they have, that's what makes them worthwhile. because they are the drugs that can do more than just make you become addictive.
of course, no drugs is the best way.
>>65677442
Spoken like a normie who has no idea what depression is
>just interact with people lmao!
>>65677433
Dont worry about the haters bro, true enlightened guys (like you and me!) who have tripped know this to be true. But If youve never been throught the Psychedelic Experience it sounds implausible
>>65677464
yeah, that's what I was trying to tell him. short usually friendly interactions, no deep want-to-get-to-know-you stuff. also bad customers are a great way to learn to handle assholes in a controlled and safe environment.
get someone to hook you up with some anxiety meds
of course they're not the best thing but it's better than nothing
>>65677474
how do you work retail when you are physically incapable of fake smiling or feigning having energy?
I have to down 6 beers just to have a normal conversation
>>65677412
Actual good advice
>>65677484
>someone to hook you up
like a doctor?
you can't be serious
>>65677498
>like a doctor?
no shit
>>65677491
it's true people will notice your frown, that's why a job with short interactions is a good start. it'll take time, but practice makes perfect. social interaction is the only way that will make one become better at social interaction, duh. in a job where people appreciate what you sell them smiles are guaranteed.
it's a normie enters a depression thread and tells you how to fix something they've never experienced episode
every. fucking. time
>>65677540
>just get a retail job brah XD so ez
>>65677540
go to a doctor already, instead of making depression threads then, but even he will tell you that you'll have to socialize
>>65677540
it's a lazy neet self diagnosis himself as depressed and wants to circlejerk his fake illness
every.fucking.time.
fun fact depressed people don't come on 4chan and post reaction images
>>65677553
I have. And they don't.
>>65677565
he will, don't worry. or you stopped the therapy before he was able to tell you.
>>65676666
>unchecked quads
I can see why you're depressed
try what >>65676720 said desu, also a lot of basic ambient
I'd rec Tim Hecker, Oneohtrix Point Never, Grouper, and Gas
also maybe early Animal Collective and The Microphones
>>65677540
Yeah, well im familiar with these feelings of anxiety and depression (no i dont mean just "feeling blue"), been to a doctor myself about it too...
But im sick and tired of reading these fucking feels threads on the Music Board. Its completely beside the point of this board to talk about muh precious feelings and I wish the mods were more active in pruning threads like this.
>>65677560
>fun fact depressed people don't come on 4chan and post reaction images
So we're assuming it's social based anxiety?
It's really easy to just be kind to people.
You respect them more than you realize, their impressions and your fear of them obligate behavioral choices.
Have you heard the good word of our lord and savior, Merzbow?

hi normie never been depressed boring person
please enlighten us with your borderline retarded understanding of psychology
>>65677772
I use /mu/, /trash/, /lit/, /int/, and [s4s] regularly and /g/, /co/, /qa/, /an/, and /tg/ occasionally
/v/ is not on that list due to it being garbage

And since when did /mu/ become such a loving board? I came into this thread expecting all types of abuse. Pretty impressed, guys.
>>65677877
anon, there used to be a fuckton of feels threads here, it's kind of a tradition (though one that's been dying)
hell, there used to be fucking tumblr threads
>>65677877
very late at night/morning moo is better than busy hours
>>65677540
It gets better, stop visiting /r9k/ because self-loathing and negativity is a fucking trap you need to get yourself out of, it gets better and getting out of the house really helps
Been there OP. I wasn't even able to open my computer at the time.
It was 2 years ago, I lost all my friends, thaught I was worthless and I wouldn't be able to do anything in my live (even tho I had an engineering degree in computer science), never had a gf. I couldn't even imagine I would get better.
I had my family close but they didn't really matter for me, I was so depressed.
I was seeing a doctor but , same, it didn't matter much.
Then it went away, I didn't do anything special, just stayed alive, and it went away by itself.
2 years later I made some other friends (still no news about the previous ones, I think I hate them for it), got my own job (I built my own company thanks to a girl who helped me), and now I finally got a gf, we sometimes talk about having kids, getting a house, etc.
Life will get better OP, you can take my word for it. I think a lot of people (especially men) experience depression around 20-25.
i feel you op
let's end our lives in a ritualistic manner

Don't worry, it'll clear up when you finish puberty.
