Family all hate me think im a freak due tothe way i look/dress. Have one friend and a gf that seems to take pity on me which i hate. Live in an extremely rasict town (black on white rasicm) which means i cant walk the streets huge masdochist but get people who dont even care about me jumping down my throat about self harm and i see no point in the concept of life. Whenever i see a house i think about domestic voilence abused children and people dying in general.

Every single time. I don't know why I get bothered by this so much but it really does hurt when something that is serious to you is trivial to other people. Not talking to someone really destroys my days. I self harm, I barely get out of bed, I don't find joy in anything, and I keep checking my phone or apps to see if someone messaged me (they don't).

Question this probably doesnt make sense but does anyone enjoy their depression in a weird way
>>
- Existentialist isssues
Every night, I struggle to go to sleep because I constantly question existence. The fact that existence is unfair also bothers me a lot. Seeing people who don't deserve what happened to them like Stephen Hawking makes me hate life.

- Living in a third world shithole
I grew up in an environment where I could never integrate among the locals.

- Having to study the wrong degree.

- No friends. I get along with people in my school, but I can't form emotional bonds with them. They seem too irrelevant and inferior.

Today I woke up feeling in a depressive mood. Any of the games that I wanted to play have decided that today was a maintenance day. I don't know why I did, but I decided to check the Instagram of my ex. I didn't think it really affected me, but deep down I feel angry and frustrated. It is my fault so I will deal with it as so. Just fuck man why does this chick still bother me so much yet she can move on like I was nothing more than a phase. When can I learn to do that?

Eating disorder. Anorexia and bulimia. Depressed as hell, especially in winter it gets worse. Want to kill myself.
No friends, no family, no job, no money. Living on benefits, hell yeah. No education either.

My life sucks. It should end. Now.

Depression sucks, I know, but that's what makes you stronger in a way. You need to exercise and focus on improving your physical form, before your mental. Take up sports like boxing, mma, or bjj. They will help your self confidence. Listen to mmusic c that helps and stop feeling bad and start faking the happiness so gradually it's not fake. I know it's hard this mental war, but you gotta help yourself, and learn to forgive and not dwell on the past. Much LOVE

i stumbled on an exes blog which made me check her instagram, which is never a good idea. The worst part is that she still wanted to be friends when i initially broke it off with her. But she hasn't talked to me or gotten in contact so I assume she's done with me :?

I don't think I have depression any longer. I forced myself out of it somehow, and I stopped feeling everything. I broke up with my girlfriend last week and I no longer have any friends. I didn't really feel anything apart from alienation and a slight amount of guilt and self-loathing.

I think that depression where you feel sad all the time is a meme. I think real depression is where you can't feel anything and cry sometimes for no reason. Its not a gut feeling but the feeling of nothing at all. Not happy or sad or angry just nothing, no motivation for anything better, you may eat too much or too little. Idk.

Its been a week if 2 years from now you still think about the same girl and have the same job with no changes you probably still have depression.

To me everything at Starbucks tastes like garbage. The only thing I'll make myself is a green tea with agave or a chai latte with soy. The food is pretty terrible too.

At least she wanted to. My ex wants nothing to do with me at all. I stopped trying to contact in April knowing it is pointless and hurts me. I need to get over here and move on. Not really sure how to do that if my subconscious keeps reminding me of her. I also want to start getting into shape. Might help me work towards feeling better, but I think I need someone who understands exercise well to give me some advice. I honestly don't feel like asking /fit/ so I have been putting it off.
>>
>>22892594
well that's the thing, the second to last time i talked to her she told me to fuck off. The last time i saw her she seemed kinda happy to see me but that was the last time i talked to her. I'm not really in the position to give exercise stuff, but i'm sure /fit/ has a wiki or something that you could read up on stuff

most people on this board are usually suffering from extreme social anxiety or are just looking for a temporary distraction from their real life. i wouldn't take it as anything personal, people end up getting caught up in issues irl, it doesn't mean they like you any less.

>>22888039
do you still live at home? if you're going to kill yourself, at least wait until you can get out of that situation and see what life can be like without them holding you down, when you can make it on your own and not worry about people shoving their opinions down your throat. moving out and distancing myself from family (who i haven't talked to in years) was the best decision i ever made in my life.

how old are you, if you mind me asking? are you in a position to get away from things, or is that your issue? sorry if i'm rambling, i've just had a lot of similar issues

>>22888095
do you want to get better? if you don't want to, you won't get better. if you do, you should force yourself to spend the money, even if it's expensive.

misery enjoys company, i enjoy my misery a lot of times because i can find beauty in the ugly things and meaning in things i normally couldn't. watching depressing and sad movies feels good because it feels like i'm sharing something intimate with the people in them. also, crying can feel damn good.

i usually feel more in tune with my emotions, even if they're chaotic at times, after a really bad episode i always feel more clear headed and have a better understanding of myself, if that makes sense.

sometimes i hate it, but at the same time i also don't know what i'd do without it.

I havent spoke to my family in a few months.

The girl i loved dumped me because i was to depressed, still can't get over her.

I have no motivation for life.

Loneliness started to get to me mid september.

Never been in a relationship and my social skills are really bad. Nervous and anxious to approach girls or even people in general out in public, I have managed to lose over 15kg so far, weighed about 113kg Mid September.

Not insecure about my penis really since its 5.5 inches, but hyper-sensitive as fuck.

I may be slightly insecure about my virginity since virgins have been rejected before.

i'm almost positive i have clinical depression

i've been sitting in my room doing basically fuck all for the last 2-3 years

whenever i'm not distracted by mindless escapism (video games work best, though i rarely really enjoy them anymore) i feel horrible and i want to die

i have a lot of fear for the future but i can't find the motivation to do anything about it

i tried to break it to my parents about a year ago (didn't mention the wanting to die bit, don't have it in me to tell them that) and they didn't believe me

to this day my mother thinks all i need is a change of attitude/habits and believes me perfectly capable of achieving it without any external help

i have no money to see a therapist on my own, otherwise i would've done so ages ago

please advise

Where to start... i have been diagnosed with many things. I have depression and anxiety that stems from borderline personality disorder. I was diagnosed with PTSD three years ago making it so i Haven't slept for more than five hours a night in 2 years. I graduated high school and things went to shit. Girlfriend of a year and a half left 2 months ago, saying i was to introverted and depressed. Can't find any way to move on. Cause myself pain by looking at her pictures on social media of her and her new boyfriend. Life went downhill fast for me. I can't find enjoyment in anything. I have anxiety attacks of im around anyone, including my family. Don't leave my room. Can't eat without getting sick. Lost 60 pounds in 2 months. My few friends left for the same reason my girlfriend did. I cant see any signs of things getting better. Not looking for sympathy. Just trying to get some shit off my chest. Any advice would be helpful. Unless the advice boils down to "just try not to be that way". That just doesn't help
>>
My life doesn't look like its going anywhere. I have depression, anxiety, and schizoid personality disorder... Depression is bad enough on its own, but when teamed up with anxiety and my personality disorder, it makes living a normal life near impossible.

I recently lost my desire to find a significant other and got rid of all my friends.

Now I seek a female to talk to, to see if I can reacquire my desire for a significant other or if it is gone for good.

I had depression for probably a good 10 years before I even admitted it to myself and it took another couple years and a ruined relationship before I would go to counseling and get medicated.

Now I'm a 29 year old virgin whose just has to wonder where the years went. I am actually doing very well right now, emotionally, financially and I'm in the best shape of my life.

One of the meds I'm on (plus the better physical health) has turned my already high sex drive even higher. Now I just want to exchange v-cards with a cutie and have a wonderful, caring, loving relationship with a ton of ridiculous sex.

Where have the years gone, indeed.
>>
>>22890462

Here's what you have to remember about those threads. 1) If you're being ignored then it's a soft no, meaning you're not horrifying but don't have attractive pictures. 1a) That doesn't mean you are not attractive just that your pictures aren't, leading toward...2) The guys/girls that get lots of 'yes's spent an hour prepping themselves and took at least 100 pictures before finding a good one and probably editing it a little bit as well.

In other words, people get ready for those 'would you date me?' pictures the same way a normal person gets ready for an actual date. If you want validation from strangers on the internet (mixed with a bit of scorn), just do that. If you want someone to think you're attractive in real life, put the effort those people put into those pictures into your walking around look and start...well, walking around.

"What I deserve" is a trap, the greatest trap. It gives you permission to be down and feel like it's ok and it defines you. People will do what they'll do, some will like you, some won't. You start trying to determine your market value by yourself with zero input from others (chiefly a good sample of women you're attracted to) and you'll always land on the same square, but as soon as you can get out of that faulty logic spiral (and it takes time, mental practice and some stumbling) you will find yourself in a better place of your own design and others will place more value on you because of it. I speak purely about relationships, of course, innate value is something that has to come from within.

Failed school last year because my ex broke up with me a week before my exams.
After 7 months everything was going fine. got fired from my job because I didn't fit in well.

Still have 6 months left until I can try my exam again. Not doing anything with my life. feeling miserable lonely and afraid Im going to fuck up my future even more.

Not happy with my current relationship. Nothing in common. To depressed to finish it scared of being alone.

Constant thoughts of suicide are on my mind. But im still strong enough to not actually do it.

Nah, I prefer not to waste time by creating an account before I can waste my time. It leaves me with more time that I don't waste and do something to advance my future, you could try it too, anon. Unless I fail to notice how watching anime does it, keep doing it then.

Glad you agree, while we're at that I would also suggest to smoke Luckies and drink Rockstar, though this is bit subjective. Take care.

Tbh /soc/ actually got quite a few useful elements that indeed help a project, which in turn advances my future ... but I wasn't exactly suggesting you to change your favorite board, just spend lesser time on pointless shit like 4chan and anime, use the said time for something positive, w/e is on your mind. You'll instantly feel better and will be a better person as a side effect.

>i remember when i thought i was so unique and cool too.
Better get back to that again. Your defeatist attitude has barely any benefits.

>When i kill myself, ill use your edges as razors
I would recommend, not to kill yourself in the first place but if you truly insist on it, I'd suggest a more success promissing method like drugs or jumping from a high place. Also razors blades are pretty shit, no matter the edge, straight-razor is the way for /wrist

im not a bad person s-senpai, i just hate when people disrespect the only reason this site exists. Its like hating phillip morris but liking marlboro, its dumb, just like not liking anime and being on 4chan.

>pointless shit like 4chan and anime
my entire friend group wouldn't exist without an anime/dnd common bond (i posted flyers at my shop and started a group of degenerates), 4chan is pointless, i agree, but i don't have a facebook or twitter or tumblr or whatever everyone uses nowadays, its my only waste of time internet wise (other than posting comics i draw on a blog of mine)

i don't know why im even arguing, im falling into a circlejerk i dont want to be a part of

I keep having these terrible panic attacks and I don't know what to do. My mind goes blank. Then I cut to feel something. And then it all rushes in and I start pacing and breathing really fast and crying. I can do that for about ten minutes straight. And then my mind goes blank again. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know how to make it better. I just want to be normal

That's not how it works, if you really have panic attacks, any dumb shit can trigger them.

That's more how it works.

And well, better get a diagnosis, perhaps the doc could give you some crap to help keeping it more controlled.

It isn't helping that the girl I like has been ignoring me. I just failed an important test, and my mother thinks I'm going to suicide, it actually made me think of doing it, and by thinking about that, I've felt really unhappy these days.

She's probably ignoring me because I asked her out, and I'm a manlet. There's no point in pursuing something when your destiny of being unhappy has been already decided since you were born.

I've tried being alpha as fuck, I didn't really care for her in the beginning, but she made me think a lot, she acted like she was having a really great time with me.

I wonder what changed her, or if she was just a dud. At the end of the day she made me think I was finally going to be a little happy, but I guess it was all just a lie.

I just want to love someone, and in my eyes it is not even that hard. Past times have been my own consciouss fuck ups... but this time it is really different, I don't know what did I do wrong to deserve that threatment from her.

Loneliness is killing me, and my friends think I'm a hard-boiled man, but I just need someone to pour all my heart onto. All this cold-hearted act that I have to do everyday is really making me more depressing.

Fuck, I guess I have to live with that, and my musical career is going to fall thanks to that. I can't even show proper emotion during performances because I can't feel shit, and piano playing requires you to be as emotional as you can.

I'm pretty good at learning technical shit, but even if I can write a neo-classical piece but I can't perform it how I want, then there's no use.

Fuck this, and fuck my life.

Whenever I'm depressed, I remember this:

The only thing that burns in hell,
is the part of you that won't let go of your life,
your memories, your attachments,
they burn them all away.
But they're not punishing you he said,
they're freeing your soul.

If you're frightened of dying,
and you're holding on,
you'll see devils tearing your life away.
But if you've made your peace,
then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth.

It's just a matter of how you look at it that's all,
so don't worry okay.

Hey guys how is it going? I am feeling better. I think I ended up getting sick yesterday. I was burning up but freezing at the same time. Took a ibprofin and hot water with honey now I am feeling good. My depression is lingering but doing my best to not let it bring me down.

>>
>>22901224
Not much you can do but continue on with your life. If you dwell on it it will eat you alive. Focus on stuff that makes you happy or fulfilled. If you dont have anything focus on looking for such things. You will be depressed and grieve over it. It'll pass eventually. Just don't let it drown you.
>>
>>22901091
I've had it for 17 years. It was only in the last year and a half that I made a choice to try anything that might cure me of depression. Meds take the edge off, but that is about it. Ayahuasca, bio energy healing, shamanic healings, a soul retrieval and transcranial magnetic stimulation are all the things I tried. The only one that worked is the most recent which is transcranial magnetic stimulation. I am off anti depressant and not suicidal. I hope to start another course of treatment with it if my insurance approves it.

Keep trying. Anything and everything. Best of luck to you.

I fucked my term's grades while on academic probation, due to general depression. Dunno if i'm gonna get kicked out of school.

Job went to shit because i was being a dumbass talking about how i stayed up all night the night before one time on break to a co worker and a manager heard and has it out for my ass now cause of it. Pretty much handing as many shifts off as i can to coworkers until next rescheduling where i can quit without quitting.

Cant sleep. Cant bring myself to talk to my parents about any of this because i think they'll be ashamed. Isolating myself from my friends. Dunno what to do in the future. Dont know where to socially interact without school or work.

I'm still lifting, running, swimming and generally keeping in shape, but i want to die.

I have work in 6 hours and i cant sleep.

>>22906690
It got nothing to do with HS type of hints, as a competent partner it's your responsibility to notice if something isn't right. Not to say that chicks who act like that are bitches but let's not willow in self pity and blame everything on the other side.
>>
>>22906658
You're probably right. I assumed she keked me, because randomly she started talking about these guys non-stop that she never even gave a shit about before. Now it's just not working. In retrospect, I saw she was getting distant a week or so ago, but wanted to ignore it.

>>22906690
This also though. I expected her to be real with me, not force me to read her mind to figure out every little thing that could be wrong.

Anybody would over such a pussy way to break up. The positve is, that you aren't together with a person who can't deal with issues anymore and better off in the future.

My point was simply, that you see that shit coming miles ago if you actualy pay attention and the hints are noticeable for anybody who isn't full autist. Analyzing it might help you in future relationshits.

It is a sad day when you realize the world would be a better place without your pitiful existence in it. I can't remember what having fun is like, for the past 6 years my whole life has revolved around drugs. And now I'm sober, which is supposed to be a good thing and yet I feel much worse than before. I have all these regrets, the shit I've seen and done. It haunts me, it really is as they say. The easy part is getting clean now comes the hard part, "life". And I'm like how do I live? Reality is so fucking boring, I can't drink. If I have one glass of whiskey I end up drinking the whole bottle. And if you don't go out drinking on the weekends then what can you do? Nothing, because that's what people do here, so I'm left whining on the internet and wishing I would die any day now.

>>22908193
It's just a little more of a pain in the ass to get a concealed carry permit than it is in Utah and Arizona. If that doesn't bother you, Nevada's a really nice state.

>>22908202
Better? No.

Your existence has been inconsequential to the world, trust me. Most of our existence has been. I don't think you're looking at it properly. You're not making the world a worse place, nor a better one. You're in the world and whether your existence is pitiful or not isn't consequential to the quality of the world.

Just my two cents. But yeah, shit is boring without friends.

I'm 27 years old, 6'5, fit, have a great job, am outgoing and passionate, etc. Sounds great, right? Everyone keeps telling just how fucking great it sounds.

The problem is that I'm alone. I've always been alone. I don't have a family. I don't have anyone I can call a close friend. I've been single for more than 3 years. I just can't do it. People hurt me. I'm not a "nice guy". I just can't fucking do it. Every time I'm in a relationship or even when I get close to someone, it hurts. I'm lied to, I'm played with, I'm cheated on. I'm constantly told "Oh, Austin, just find better people. It'll happen." but it just doesn't. Every single time I get close to someone the same thing happens. People don't care about my feeling. People don't care about what I think. People don't care about me. Is it bad that that's all I want out of life? I don't know. I genuinely don't know what it's like to love someone. I don't know what it's like to be close to someone. It fucking kills me inside knowing this. I'm not a bad person. I do everything in my power to make those I like happy. Maybe that's my flaw. Maybe people see that and take advantage of it. I don't fucking know. I really just can't take it and I don't have any reason to live. None of you care, but I have no one to tell this to.

No family because they're dead
Not satisfied with friends and hardly get to see them unless I go out of state
Living in the middle of nowhere because I don't really have any other choice. I tried to build a social life but couldn't really relate to people

It's very likely I won't make it to 50 due to genetic health problems which means I'm already past "middle age" and it feel almost pointless to do much.

I cut a word into my upper thigh. I slashed ten scars on the other upper thigh. My wrist is slashed up (but that's cos I really did wanna die). And now I'm so so so pissed about it. Obviously insecure about it, but just pissed. I wish I cut someplace less noticeable but instead i decided to be a faggot and be a tumblr cutter (never posted pics online tho thank god kek).

Soon you will reach the paranoia phase where you start believing someone is making you live like this, I believe it's the brain trying to rationalize actually living in these horrid conditions like who would do this to themselves willingly?. Now I don't know about you but my social life is virtually non existing and I think that can make you go a little kekoo.

I graduated college in May and it's been tough going out of the gate. My girlfriend left me today after months of trying to keep it together. She said she didn't love me together. I wanted to marry her. Today is a bad day.

>>22916619

What do we do? Antidepressants have only made things worse, so that's out. Therapy is too expensive, can't do that to my parents. I guess I don't want to die, but shit...
>>
>>22916631

I feel you. I just went through the same shit, feel like 5 years went down the drain. I fucking wasted my years at uni with her. After all those chances I might have had with someone worth it I'm just left old and in the cold.
>>
>>22916632
Antidepressants are bs, especially SSRIs. I'm on sleeping pills that works as antidepressants as well. Every time I try quitting I go batshit crazy and get like 2 hours of sleep at night. Yeah man therapy is useless, they sit there silently judging you. Not offering any real help only more pills. I feel like suicide is becoming more and more attractive to me at least. But if you aren't too far into the rabbit hole then you should try to reintegrate with society bro.
>>
>>22916650
A lot of my friends went through the same shit too. It's a bad time.
>>
>>22916668

Honestly I feel like I'm at the same point you are, but one thing I'm going to try before I go is hallucinogens. I hear they can kick you out of a rut sometimes. Or fuck you up completely. But what have I got to lose?
>>
This may sound really immature but here we go:
The first time that I liked someone (or at least I was attracted to someone) I was 13, he's 4 years older than me so I never even tried to tell him how I felt.
But you know, your first crush... it's just.. I don't know.
So we started to talk like a year ago when I was 17 and he was 21 and I swear our personalities match perfectly and we just know each other so well. But the problem is that I like him, quite a lot. And I know he has some feelings for me because he usually ditches his girlfriend for me. And yes, that's the problem. He's been dating this girl for over 2 years and he's too attached to her to let her go, I know him, we talk every single day and I know he doesn't like her anymore, he just doesn't want to end up alone. But I would never tell him to break up with her because I hate people who ruin relationships, like I don't flirt with him or anything, we're just friends but I think it's weird how he's always wanting to spend time with me, and if I don't answer his messages he starts to send me lots of messages saying that he misses talking to me and shit like that.
I honestly don't know what to do, I've been liking him for sooooo long but that guy is lost af. And I would never do anything to make him break up with his girlfriend, so I'm literally stuck, I can't stop talking to him because everytime he says that he misses me I just can't help it, I am literally in the friend zone, and it sucks.
>>
>>22888048
I'm asking. Why would you do that? Not to criticize or anything, I'm genuinely interested
>>
>>22916799
Tough situation. Surely if he liked you more he would split up with his girlfriend for you? It isn't fair for him to stay with her. I hate to be a cynic, but the first impression I get is he just likes having you on the side, knowing full well you'll come running if he asked you too.
>>
>>22916726
If you are depressed and or have a weak psyche in general you should not to potent hallucinogens, let me tell you a story about when I had bad trip on acid a few years ago. It was the day before xmas, I had gotten my hands on some strong tabs. Had done mushrooms a few times before and RC's that had some kick to them. I knew set and setting was important but back then I was so young and foolish, I didn't respect the drug as it were. So I was in my room on watching shit when suddenly it kicked in and hard. I couldn't watch the screen it was so bright and it was flashing in different colors. I couldn't focus my vision at all. So I went to my bed instead and laid down, I thought yeah this isn't so bad after all but damn I was wrong. When I started peaking I had no idea where I was, I looked around and I wasn't in my room anymore. I was in bed and couldn't move, I remember thinking I was in hell. At this point everything is super fucked up, everything is flashing in red colors and I'm seeing some weird shit man. At that point I was certain I was in hell and that a hooded devil was leaning over me and I could see his smile but not his face sort of like the cat from alice in wonderland. After a while he removed the hood and I saw his face and I knew who it was, it was me. So fucking trippy man, I freaked out and started puking nonstop. Wanting to die so bad, I prayed to every God out there please let me die but nothing happened. I started thinking maybe this is my punishment for all the bad shit I've done. So yeah it was not a good night, didn't sleep at all and then when morning came it was xmas. It was the worst xmas ever. Jesus I felt so horrible. So yeah man if you are not 100% certain your mind can take it don't fuck around with hallucinogens.

How old are you? Can you go to school or get a job? I think it might really help. Plus if you get a job and stay for a while you can get medical benefits and receive therapy that way.

Also with threads like these I would just try to get everything out as much as you can since you can't afford therapy.

My biggest issue is I would need a way to sustain myself if I did move out. I'm paying 100/mo to live where I am now and considering it's got sweet carpeting and heat/ac, that's hard to pass up.

The last state I was in denied me for SSI 3 times. They're incredibly picky about who they grant benefits to (as I'm told) and even people with very, very blatant disabilities have taken over a year to get anything. SSI sometimes provides "section 8 housing", but the waiting lists are usually insanely long, with preference only given to parents with young kids, and the elderly.

Honestly as much as people trash welfare in this country, it's such a frustrating and fucked up system for the people who need it, lel.

I can't handle this loneliness. Sure I go to university and interact with people everyday, but I still feel lonely. I know those people don't really care whether I show up or not. I don't feel I'm that important to anyone and that's shattering, as pathetic as it is. I feel I have nothing at the end of the day. I would just like to feel I hold some kind of influence and meaning over someone's life. I don't even know.

On top of things I hate what I'm studying but I'm supposed to endure in order to pass and be able to transfer next year. I really can't concentrate on studying right now

okay, getting rid of my story and maybe hoping for advice. I donĀ“t think IĀ“m depressed anymore(had therapy), but its a hard time atm and i donĀ“t know what to do.

Short version: I found a girl over the Internet with heavy mood changes. Know her for 4 years now, but we never met, because of her mood. We had a lot of fun while talking Ā“bout what we do, when we meet and i was super excited. Long time ago, we arranged to meet next year january the 3rd-6th.
But now, sheĀ“s super depressed for 2 months and her feelings are so extremely unstable, that I only had to say 2 "wrong" sentences yesterday and she blocked me.

Well just to make thinks worse: Ā“bout 3 months ago, I got addicted to Tramal (opioid, like tilidine, morphine etc) because it took that psychological pain away, her mood caused to me. I guess you can say i got addicted to her, so her bad feelings made me get addicted to painkillers.
Today it was the 3rd day going cold turkey(pain everywhere, especially my back, depressed up to being suicidal), but the fact i got blocked by the most important person for me made get weak and IĀ“m back taking that shit.

tl;dr version: got addicted to emotionally unstable online girl what caused me to get addicted to painkillers.

What do I do now? just keep on taking that shit until IĀ“m over her and then kick it off? It just feels so good and takes the painful part of my sorrows and feelings away. It makes me slightly euphoric when i would actually feel suicidal. But I donĀ“t want to fuck up my life. :/

Hope anyone read this. I know, itĀ“s a pain to read, but itĀ“s not my mothertongue and I have bigger issues atm. So sorry, everyone

I miss having someone love me and hold me telling me everything is alright. It sucks being alone in an area where I just can't find anything in common with people. Search online for women who want to play video games and shit just to distract me in life but they tend to be flaky as fuck. No one has any god damn sense of companionship or any care for how they treat others. Yet I can't live my life alone. I want them in my life.

I dont know what you and your therapist talked about but you sound like me or how I used to be. Always cared about pleasing others and had a problem standing up for myself and saying "No" when asked to do something.

I keep feeling like I'm never going to meet "the one". I know that that's a stupid concept anyway, and there are surely lots of people in the world who could make me happy, but I just feel like I'll never meet any of them.
The last person I thought I could love ended up being sort of a terrible person who only wanted to party up her 20s. That was underneath the facade trying to seem interesting by watching classic movies and tv. I know how bitter that sounds but I just want to meet one girl who isn't like the rest. It's easy to find girls who want to appear that way but I'm starting to think they don't exist.

Anyway, it's just sort of the make or break for life. What's the point of trying to get anywhere if I'm just alone the entire time? I want to meet somebody whose character goes a little bit deeper than basic primal need and greed. The thought that that might not exist is really depressing. I don't want to be a loser, but I don't want to be like a guy who lures in dogs with pieces of meat. I thought people were people and they were supposed to have some depth.

I have crippling depression and anxiety, I've been like this since I was probably 11 or 12, I'm about to turn 21 and it's ruining my life.
I have an eating disorder but because I'm still overweight, people congratulate me and ask how I look so good. I confided in my best friend and she told me I should keep it up, because it's obviously working.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer last week after being sick for months without a diagnosis and my boyfriend of 5 years is cheating on me.

I know those feels. I'm agoraphobic and I have this hilarious (to me) problem. If I could go out and buy a gun, I would end my life in a second. The problem is that if I had the sanity to go out and get one, I wouldn't even want to kill myself. This is like living in hell.

That's tough. Like anybody can easily say, I think I would definitely end it. Knowing that he isn't loyal, you'll probably feel differently about him too.

It sounds like your self-esteem is very low though if you think you'd just be alone indefinitely otherwise. I kind of have the same problem. I think you should know that that isn't realistic though. Sorry to sound so blatantly r9k, but it's a woman's market. There are plenty of people out there who are single and ready to mingle and would never even think of cheating on you.

If you say he was actually talking to somebody, and it wasn't just a little one night mistake then it really sounds like there's nothing else to do. He's not thinking of you anymore. Sorry if that sounds harsh, it's just easy to form opinions for me as an outsider.

I could never forgive a cheater though.

Hey all. I'd like to share a bit about what I am going through right now. Hopefully someone will identify.

One year ago, I was out getting plastered and partying everynight. I stopped going to class and my entire life revolved around drinking. Soon, I was not drinking to have fun. I sat alone in my dormroom and drank alone. I've always felt like I was not whole, but with alcohol everything made sense and I was whole. When I went home for winterbreak I figured everything would be the same. My desire to drink didn't vanish and my behavior was caught by my mother. She insisted I check into an in-patient rehab so I did. I got out of rebab with street knowledge and connections to "better" drugs. I went back to school and finished miserably with a total of nine credits to my name. So I went home, went to work far away at a beautiful restaurant in a beautiful resort where I had many friends to party with and had no expectations or judgements. I got into harder drugs and went home. I quit cold turkey and I have been roughing it since. I attemted suicide a few weeks ago and I was admitted to an in-patient mental hospital for ten days. I am so miserable and hateful towards myself, and my hope for a better future feels like a lie. A pit drops into my stomach every time I think of what my next step should be, all the while my parents are expecting immediate results from my programs and medication. I don't want them to bury me.
>>
>>22924624
He definitely plays on my low self esteem to manipulate me.
You're completely right, it's just not something I wanted to face or hear but I'm glad I did.
I just love him so much, he's my first love but I know that I deserve more.
I feel like he already sees me as a dead girl and he's finding someone to replace me when I'm gone.
>>
>>22924659
>I just love him so much, he's my first love

I know how that feels. ;___;

It's going to take you a while.

>>22924659
This kind of thing terrifies me. Im a guy and people say im very manipulative but not like shit talk you kind of way i was just born to be a lawyer. My last 2 gfs pretty much just listened to me and never challenged it so I broke up with them because I dont want a girl to be in my control. They never understood and hated me for it but fuck it.
>>
>>22924688
I'd like to think it's their fault for ever having been attracted to you. They took the bad with the good and that was what they wanted.
>>
When I met my ex, he was completely closed off from the world. When I met him, something in my soul stirred. I needed to know him. He was so shut off from everything...no friends, no job, just his video games. I knew there was something more. I saw it in him. He told me that he had an issue with depression.I thought I could be enough. We had wonderful adventures. We planned our future. He was starting to get out, starting working. We crossed states just to be with one another. We were going to move in together. Then things started to change...he wasnt as upbeat anymore. He slept all the time. He wasn't responsive to my advances or my compliments. I took it as my fault. He didn't love me anymore, he didn't find me attractive. We started arguing more. One day, he was especially quiet and I asked him what was wrong. He told me that he wasn't sure about our future. He doesn't feel right, nothing brings him joy. He told me that he needed to go away. And he did. He won't respond to my texts or my phone calls. He did at first. He kept me posted on doctor's visits and how he was feeling. But then it stopped. I don't know if something happened. If he is ignoring me. Or just moved on. While the idea of him being happy without me or with someone else makes me want to puke, I do not want him to just fade away. He is worth so much more than that. I realized this is a long post and I probably sound like a fool.

Tl; dr

I pulled him out of that hole and he slipped out of my hands back in. I'm a fucking idiot.
>>
>>22924779
How do you know he's not dead?
>>
>>22924784

I don't. I have not been able to get ahold of him. He could be but i dont want to think of that. I would hope if it did, his family would say something to me. I just want him to be ok.
>>
>>22924779
It doesn't sound like anything you did, it just sounds like the typical awful crap that happens when you're dealing with depression :(
>>
>>22924795

I try to tell myself that but those feelings of failure and self-loathing are there everyday. It's like a festering wound and I feel so lost. I know, logically, I should pick myself up and move on and if he comes back, I will deal with it then. But logic and feeling don't always co-mingle, you know what I mean?
>>
>>22901091
Also, what helped me in my worst times, were drugs. Hit up google and read some articles about Ketamine as an antidepressant.
I mean, why not try it, before you kill urself? cant get worse i guess.
It got me through the worst part of my life.

>>22924513
Thanks. I'm constantly finding myself torn between wanting him to be happy, and her ripping his heart out.
