Depression blows.

Any of you nerd asses have a go to game for when you're really not feeling anything?

All I can play when I feel like that is multiplayer games with friends.

Singleplayer games just end up feeling like I'm wasting my life, but then I sit here on /v/ for hours which is of course so much better.

You fags need to realize you are never going to "want" to play those games again.

Video games were your escapism as kids right? We'll let me go out on a limb here and guess shit like /v/ and YouTube has now become your new escapism. Everything is relative. It's path of least resistance. You don't play games anymore because shitposting on /v/ is simply easier.

Want to finish that backlog? We'll guess what, you're going to have to make an effort. Boot up a game even if you don't want to, this applies to just curing depression in general; you have to actually try to feel better.

I pretty much only play fighting games now, which I'm still terrible at--because it's all I can play.

JRPGs used to be my favorite genre, but I simply don't have the motivation to play something that long.

I finished two games this year. I can't even remember the last game I finished, last year I didn't even finish one.

Grindy stuff.

Runescape, Dragon Quest IX, Phantom Brave/Disgaea, stuff like that

Complete opposite for me.

Now I feel like games are a waste of my time away from work.

Only can stomach playing them when it's my day off.

All you depressed motherfuckers need therapy. Therapy and meds. And exercise.

1. Get a cognitive behavioral therapist.
2. Get a prescription for SSRI's.
3. Exercise. Cardio (running, anything that builds up a sweat + pulse) has the best proven effect against depression.
4. Section your time. Example: 45 minutes productive (cleaning, exercise, cooking, studying, working) 15 minutes leisure (smoke, candy, masturbate, vidya). DO NOT EXCEED YOUR PRE-SET PRODUCTIVE TIME! It will make it harder to take initiative to get going the next time if you do.
5. If you can, try to be around people.

Not sure what CBT is, but I have had two therapists who both didn't help at all/barely helped. I've been on medication, one SSRI which helped emotionally and gave me a bit more motivation, but didn't fix my tiredness or anxiety, and it stopped working a month or two after it started. I currently exercise and I'm still depressed.

>Try to be around people

If you're an introvert, social situations will cost energy rather than replenish it. Still, it's good for you. If you have severe social anxiety issues, there are therapies and medications that specifically help with that.

>"hmm, wonder what I should do today: work on improving my mood, or sit aimlessly at the computer browsing /v/, looking at Steam and sinking further into depression?"
>>
>>341852034
Fortunately my anxiety's not as bad as it used to be, but it's still present; both medications I've taken that were supposed to help for depression and anxiety only really improved my mood and motivation a bit, they did nothing for my anxiety.

Being around other people is intensely uncomfortable, even after going to college for a year it's still just as uncomfortable as it was before I started.

Maybe I'd like being social more if I had a close friend who liked the vidya I liked I need an IRL sparring partner for fightan, but I live in an area in which no one plays what I do anyway. In the rare instance I did encounter someone who played something I did, my anxiety prevented me from becoming friends with them, as did my personality. I'm rambling now. It's hopeless.

Stop. Depressed people need to figure shit out on their own, you can't tell them to do general things like "go outside" because that might not even do anything for them. Everyone deals with depression differently, there's no one size fits all solution to it. Sure some things might help but ultimately the depressed person has to find out what they are for themselves.

About a year ago I was suicidal but I realized what was hurting me (namely myself) and made effort to stop feeding my own negativity. While depressed I was quite social, fairly active and healthy, had a decent job, and things were generally ok, but the real issues that needed confronting were much further inside. People should work on tackling those instead of "lol go outside, read a book and take meds".
