First, you need to stop being delusional; the concept of "true love" is not that old, and clearly doesn't fit with how humans interact.

Second, what do you mean you'll never find anyone like her again? What was unique to her?

Yes. Go to your PCP or GP, talk to them, ask for a referral to a psych.

>>684628054
Well I don't want to be too specific.
Someone (not me) posted her snap on this site so shes probably looks at this site now and then.

I don't really go on 4chan that much. Just when I'm high.

Either way, lets call this girl J
She wass in one of my classes and she actually came over one time so we could work on project. We spent most of the time smoking the herbal Jew. Our project sucked

The next day she barely talked to me. The day after that nothing. and so on


You could even see it by the way she texted that she lost interest. Her texts were, at first, long and fast, but then became smaller and smaller. I stopped texting her.

I don't know what I did wrong. Hopefully I'll see her again next semister

I think its because she just broke up with her BF of like 6 years or something. idk fam

I am 25, so I feel too old and inexperienced to date again and the fact that she wasn't white makes me think all white women aren't attractive.

>>684628519
I've been hurt in the past, yes, but no worse than any other "pretty bad" break ups I guess. I feel bad for not being able to trust anyone because I really have no reason to be like this. I don't know what's wrong with me. In scared it's going to ruin what I have going for be right now.

Correct. Talk to your PCP or GP as soon as possible!

Yes, sounds like a breaking up could definitely cause someone to act like she is currently acting. Give her some space and time Anonymous.

>>684628980
In my experience, it's all it takes.

Also, 25? Jesus christ dude, you aren't dead! What will you do when you are old, gray, and 30?!

>>684629128
And? Nothing worth doing is easy.

>>684628985
You need to seek a therapist then; it sounds like you have some unresolved issues, and unfortunately I'm not trained for this sort of thing.

A therapist referral can come from your PCP or GP, so start there.

I have a severe addiction to heroin. I've tried everything I can think of, multiple stints in outpatient, one inpatient that lasted seven months, on probation and if I come up dirty again I'm going to prison, have a wife good family things are starting to look up for me but even as I type this I can't get the thought of how good the rush is gonna be when I get home in a couple hours. I just can't stop. I tried for months was clean but moved back to my area and can't seem to quit. It feels like the only time I genuinely enjoy life and everything and everyone in it is when I'm high and I need help. I've taken all the suggestions they give you in treatment and it still doesn't seem to make a shitbit of a difference.

Thats what I think too. I think she likes me, but doesn't want anything serious. She doesn't seem like the type of girl to be ok with just FWBs

I guess that explains why she came over and gave me a big hug and whatever and even texted me "thanks for having me over" and then never speaks to me again.

I'm almost 50 years old and have lived my whole life with untreatable clinical depression. I'm also anhedonic and asexual; I've never experienced fun. I don't even known what "fun" means. People get drunk or they go on carnival rides or they have sex or drive around in cars and claim that it's "fun." I guess I have to believe them, but I have no idea what it really means.

I feel completely alienated from the rest of my species. I have no friends, and my family basically disowned me. My parents threw me out on the street as soon as they were legally allowed and told me they didn't like me and didn't want to associate with me.

I live with no fridge, no stove, and no shower; I have to take sponge baths in the sink. A lifetime of alienation has left me destitute, and a lifetime of destitution has left me with shattered health. I've been diabetic for 25 years and have chronic pain in my hands and feet from peripheral neuropathy and Reynaud's sign. I'm also going slowly blind from a rare form of glaucoma called pigmentary dispersion syndrome, completely unrelated to the diabetes.

I recently completed a "quality of life" test someone posted to /b/ and I got a result of 1.8 out of 10. The lowest in the entire thread. Think about that. My quality of life is lower than every single person in /b/.

My question to you is, after all this time, is there anything I can actually do to change any of this, or do I just wait patiently for poor health to close the cover on an unpleasant life?
>>

Jesus. What a terribly awful case of intractable depression, mixed with quads so you know it is real.

I'm not an M.D., but I am a pain patient; there are things you can do. Have you stayed on top of your diabetes? Are you obese? Do you have a daily routine? What antidepressants are you on?

>Have you stayed on top of your diabetes? Are you obese? Do you have a daily routine? What antidepressants are you on?

My weight fluctuates by up to 150 pounds depending on where I am in my depressive cycle. I've gained and lost weight so often that I look like a half-melted candle. No, my diabetes is not well-controlled. I'm so off-putting that doctors don't enjoy being around me, so I receive sub-standard care. A few years ago I had an abscess on my perineum which grew so large so quickly that it had to be lanced in emergency at the hospital. They sent me home without antibiotics and by the next day my balls had swollen to the size of cantaloupes. I spent the next week in hospital getting antibiotics pumped into my arm. They said I came without hours of Fournier's Gangrene -- flesh-eating bacteria of the crotch, with a survival rate of less than 30% in diabetics. All because the doctor couldn't wait to be rid of me and sent me home without antibiotics.

I'm one of 20% of people with depression considered hard-to-treat. I tried medication, I tried every kind of treatment from Freudian psychoanalysis to Ellis' Rational Emotive Therapy. None of it works. Clearly. I'm not stupid. I was a child prodigy with an IQ rated at four sigmas. At this point I've more or less consigned myself to living out my remaining time in misery. I don't expect you to be able to fix what no one else can; I guess I'm just wondering if you've any suggestions I might not already have tried, or if you've seen anyone capable of getting out from under anything worse than this.

i take sertraline since a month or so. It works quite well after I increased the dose from 50 to 100mg. Only problem is I feel tired constantly and I still have absolutely no strength to get up and do anything by myself. Im pretty much a completely passive existence atm. I dont feel bad, I dont feel good, I just exist and I cant do anything ( I go out with my buddys from time to time - 1-2times a week, but other than that I just sleep and think and do nothing) I want to gather some strength again to do anything important (finally get my bachelors degree) and finally enjoy my life again, but Im not in the position to do that atm. Is it just a matter of time if I keep reflecting as objective as possible or do I need therapy?

I tried Zoloft and Cipralex. Zoloft left me feeling as if I'd just been hit in the face with a shovel, 24/7. It also screwed up my dreams and left me feeling exhausted in the mornings. Cipralex had few side effects, but also didn't much help. On balance I decided it wasn't worth long-term liver damage for the marginal benefits.

My suspicion is that my brain biology doesn't work the same way other people's does. For example, getting drunk does nothing to or for me. I can drink until I fall unconscious and my behaviour doesn't change at all. People can't even tell I'm drunk. I had the same family doctor for more than 40 years, and he tried to convince me to try pot, but my feeling is that if I have to be miserable -- and it does appear that I have to be -- then I'd rather be miserable and clear-headed than stoned.

The irony of you telling me to self-advocate is that I've actually done advocacy work for the last 25 years. I'd never allow anyone else to be treated the way I am, but I've always been aware that there's something fundamentally wrong with me on a very basic level. Parents are programmed genetically to love their children; when parents reject a child with revulsion, there's a very clear problem, and it's not with the parents.

Anyway, thanks for trying to help. I figure I am required to perform due dilligence in at least trying to help myself to avoid being accused of slow-motion suicide. Not killing myself is probably the only claim I still have to any kind of moral high ground.

My life is dominated by first world problems.

My high paying job is sucking the life out of me and I know it's a matter of time before the idiots at the top are replaced by bigger idiots following a round of layoffs to appease stock holders.

My wife is borderline personality and bi polar. If I say anything she interrupts then later says I never talk. She never listens to me. She refuses to get therapy.

My cats, which I used to be able to find quiet solace with getting needier and one is occasionally pissing on our couch.

My neighbor turned his house into a rental and so far we've had
-a family of Jamaicans complete with chickens, part-time DJ and counterfeit purse operation they hid inside their "vehicle repair business" in front of the house
-two DEA raids
-a nice white couple that were actually military PTSD survivors = 2/3 spent yelling at each other

I feel there is nothing realistic to do but quit job, quit marriage and reinvent myself in another country.

Thoughts?

What drove you to start creating these threads and attempt to help people on /b/?

Is this some form for second rate experience you're trying to earn for yourself via helping online?

Are you from US?

And a question more for your expertise; How come I have difficulties in finding an individual with whom I would like to be friends with. I suppose you could say I am judgmental and picky about the people I associate with but it makes me pretty lonely when my standards are a bit high. Is this just something I'll have to deal with or "attempt" to lower those standards and live with annoyance?

I'm not desperate for this tho, just trying to figure myself out.

Quick question for you. I have who everyone agrees is the best girlfriend ever, we have loads in common...and I'm talking real things like we both game and like the same movies, music, and shit, she treats me very well, cares about me, cooks me dinner, and washes my dirty underwear. But, I can't help but wonder whether there's another, better chick out there for me. After a few months, I'm bored with her and I want to break up with her. It's not because there's anything wrong with her, I just feel like I need to end the relationship before something fucks everything up. I figure if I end it before she finds a reason to, I won't get hurt because I've had fucked up relationships before. Anyway, my question is, will I ever feel comfortable with being in a relationship, or due to my past, will I always end up disappointing women by not committing? I thought it would bother me at first, but I don't really feel anything. I feel bad for them mostly. Is that normal, or am I a sociopath or some shit? I wasn't always like this.

>SSRI's
I've done a lot of reading on antidepressant medication (psychology and neurobiology are something of a hobby of mine), and there's a growing body of evidence that what we think anti-depressants are doing actually has nothing to do with why they have an effect; that changes in serotonin levels are an effect and not the cause, for example. We're doing the psychopharmacological equivalent of drilling holes in the skull to let the evil spirits out, completely ignorant of what we're doing and why it might, in some cases, have a positive effect.

And no, I haven't tried any other classes of antidepressant. My experience with SSRIs has convinced me that I'm better off suffering my evil the natural way. These drugs work by mimicking chemicals which are already present in the brain; in theory, there's no reason we can't take control of our own chemical factories through bio-feedback and, indeed, I've spent many years meditating and learning how to access my own autonomic processes. I'm guessing it's why I'm still alive despite having a quality of life most people would consider horrific.

I was recently diagnosed with BPD. And it came at a time that I was very accepting of this diagnosis, and actually accept it.

Being aware of my disorder actually changes the way I see everything and makes me question my own feelings.

What are some more diffusion tactics i can try besides sensory self soothing? I have a few I've discovered, but they only work while I'm doing the act. As soon as I stop, I'm back in the hole again.

Also what is some good reading material for a MALE with BPD. As many of the material is based around women roles and the woman perspective.

My gf is on Welbutrin for mild depression and 25 mg Lamictal twice daily for bi-polar tendencies. Not as bad as it used to be, but still existent, she has a problem (not sure if even related to being bi-polar) of remembering only one negative thing out of a mountain of positive things. For example, she could have the most phenomenal weekend, firnds, work, relationship going wonderfully, go off on a nice weekend holiday & have a romantic/happy time and three days later can write the entire thing off as bad because she happens ot remember not getting the exact response she wanted to some question or other. Are there any ways to correct this habit completely or at least replace it with a habit that allows her to remember a more accurate version of things (i.e. not such a negative view)?

Hey there. even if youre not a psychologist, thanks for taking your time.

>>
>>684632772
yes ofc... I take it for the first time though... I know I have a repeating form of depression since my early teens. Didnt take anything against that till now(10years after). I needed that, because I didnt have such a down since 8years ago and felt really bad and suicidal. Its not like that anymore though, but like I said Its impossible to do anything productive atm. Even things that are supposed to make me feel better like going to/speaking with my parents, spending time with friends etc. are just a burden atm. I feel like someone or something is draining my energy constantly and dont know what to do against it. Im not stupid, I think I have a pretty good knowledge of human nature, and I am definitely not far fetched from reality or something. Maybe the biggest problem is that I am a bit too obsessed with reality and truth to be able to cope with it, considering that I am very emotional and a bit labile from time to time. I didnt experience anything quite like that now though... I mean I had times like that before, but I just feel so exhausted. I feel like my body and mind kinda take control over my actions and keep me in a kind of resting position I cant get out of, if you know what I mean...

My parents were very young when they got married; my father was 19, my mother 18. One day they were living with their parents, the next they were living together, married. My mother was pregnant with me three months later (they were Catholics and I was a rhythm baby). They were never prepared to be parents and certainly couldn't deal with me.

My father was physically abusive, my mother was sexually abusive, and I started having psychotic breaks when I was 12. The school wouldn't allow me back until my parents proved that I was receiving therapy. One of the first things the therapist -- a Freudian psychoanalyst -- told me was that my parents were crazy (her word), and that I should listen to her, not them. She saved my sanity, but created such hostility in the home that my parents threw me out into the street when I turned 16 and they were legally allowed to do so.

When I was in my early 20s, they admitted to me that they didn't like me, had never really liked me, and that the only reason they associated with me at all is because they were my parents. I often go 5+ years without seeing them.

Am I depressed? How do I know? I felt like this since I remember myself. Been rough through elementary socially because of idiotic kids getting in fights with me. I am pretty distant from people, I'm cold and I feel like my mind is cluttered and I can't think clearly. I was sure for a long time I must be sociopathic because of how I feel and act around people (I literally had the social skills of a 5 year old, after kindergarten, at the beginning of middle school)...

It got to a point where I figured it's better for myself to act like I'm OK and I basically made a second persona, a happy ubpeat super open and open minded kid. I feel confused at times because it gets to the point where I'm like yeah I'll do this or that and the realisation that I don't really want to do it comes up...

Actually I could go for days about my personality but I'm not even sure what's part is me and what is the guy I've made myself become.

My life has been a confusing mess for a long time, and lately I've been overeating and having anxiety attacks (I don't know how long I've had them, I just very recently realised what that feeling actually was).

I'm in the army so going to the psych guy for help might seem like I'm trying to lie my way out of the army...

So am I depressed? because it's the only way to explain how I've felt for a long long time.

Whatever your trauma may be with this issue, the hardest part is going to be accepting that it happened and not letting it consume your by reliving it with memories. You will probably never forget what happened but what you can do this moment forward is take what has happened and rather than let it define you and put it behind you. Remember that trauma doesn't really ever heal or show for that matter, If you don't look straight ahead and see what life really is- you are just as good as dead.

no anon here will give you that sense of validity. Take what has happened, take whats good from it (as IMPOSSIBLE as this seems) and let it become your armor against life. Wear it when you feel its necessary, but don't be afraid to open your visor to people.

I have memories starting at about the age of five or six months, which is another thing I discovered makes me freakish. From a very young age, my mother used to give me hand-jobs in the bath tub. She said it was a game called "got your dickybird." One day she left me in the tub with my little brother while she went to answer the phone and returned to find me playing "got your dickybird" with him. She screamed at me that I was a horrible, evil person. I was terrified because I didn't know what I'd done, but when I asked her all she would do is glare at me and say, "YOU KNOW." I was never again allowed to take a bath with my brother again.

She was always finding reasons to touch me; she'd rub me head to toe in lotions and linaments, for example, whenever I got sick or had a sunburn. She used to love pushing her breasts into my face whenever she could find an excuse, like cutting my hair, and was always doing things like putting on a shear top and asking if I could see her nipples.

One day when I was 13 or so, I came in from mowing the lawn on a hot day covered in sweat, with my top off. For the first time she outright propositioned me. She came down and sat beside me, and asked if I ever saw her as a woman and not just my mother. I told her coldly that I barely saw her as human, and she reacted as if I'd slapped her.

Anyway, my mother has been dead for about six or seven years now. I have no idea whether my father is still alive, since I haven't talked to him in five years.

my ex was just like that. I got to know her pretty well and thought a lot about it. I always thought it has some deeper meaning or is a bit fucked up and psycho, but I think I was pretty wrong. I think that most women are like that to some extend. The physical part is just a kind of fetish and not really that unusual or special. Problem is that your boyfriend (like me during the time with my ex) seems to be pretty emotional. The only thing that helps in this situation is if you are honest to him and tell him about your desire in hope that he is able to cope with that in a neutral, objective way. Thats pretty much to require though, if he is a sensitive person. This may not really go as planned for you, which leads to the possibility to break up and search for the things you desire. You gotta be a bit careful though, because if you are a man and a sadist, who likes to enjoy stuff like that, its pretty usual to bring other problems with it, you should not underestimate(most of those guys are psychopaths, who try to deal with their own problems like that, it also can get pretty dangerous if you look for stuff like it online). I dont think our society is ready enough to cope with fetishes like that in a good way for everyone.

*Oh, i'd actually like to understand what's behind this dream i had.
I was near my highschool where i attend for education, long story short there was this kind of a riot between normal persons and animal like ones. The humans where accusing those animal likes persons of capturing and eating humans, after a while a boy that resembled a tick captured three of the smallest humans among us and brought them inside the highschool, i ran inside and i had this hammer between my hands, it was very dark inside the school but i saw two figures in the dark, they were a two girls, the dirst resembled a fox, while the second a skunk. I immediately felt myself engulfed in this abnormal anger and i ran at them while swinging my hammer with the desire to murder them, luckily enough they managed to escape my assault, and this the exact moment where my dream ended.*

*Yes, i was almost shocked about what happened, i did not expect that kind of reaction from myself and that anger scared me because even if it was just a dream i can still recall that i've never felt that kind of wrath against someone, i'm not a pacifist but i would never come to this kind of methods to obtain what i need/want, unless we consider situations where my life could be endangered by someone's actions.*
