How the hell do you escape this? Besides killing yourself, of course.

>blaming all your problems on something you have no control over so it doesn't seem like your fault
There's your problem.

>>24569494
I didn't blame anything. I said life is a constant roller coaster of suffering and escapism. The suffering appears to be the "default" state or at least the one we keep coming back to.
>>
>>24569494
how much can you really blame yourself until you just anhero?
I blame myself for my problems everyday and it always just ends up with me drinking more

>>24569128

I am not a buddhist myself, but your exact phrasing reminded me of something...

Buddha said the Four Noble Truths:

> 1. Suffering exists. All life is suffering.
> 2. Suffering arises from attachment to desires
> 3. Suffering ceases when attachment to desire ceases
> 4. Freedom from suffering is possible by practicing the Eightfold Path

Maybe study buddhism and follow the Eightfold Path
>>
>>24569612
This. When you realize just how intricate your problems are you, you want nothing more than to give up.
>>
>>24569693
I never understood this. How can you attain this freedom without the desire to constantly improve your life? You can't make progress without the strong desire to do so, in fact it leads to stagnation and suffering.
>>
>>24569786
Plus you're not just gonna *stop* wanting other shit. Why not just kill yourself if you're gonna live life detached from anything?

Does anyone else have to problem of thinking life is just a dream? I feel like I'm never really here and that I'm just watching my life from afar.

Don't you work or something? I feel like that when I have nothing to do. I just sit and stare into the distance and I don't feel present until I have to snap out of it and do something.

Sleeping is the only thing I look forward to. When you sit in bed and know that sleep is just around the corner, and you'll sleep 12-16 hours and dream whatever you want. Half a day without suffering!

Turn off everything and sit on your bed for a week or two and take it in, if you can make it passed you'll stop caring.

>>24570523
And how do you propose to deal with the unbelievable boredom and frustration resulting from that? Those are forms of pain btw.
>>
>>24570622
You just tank it. Remember that you can think about things, when I did this I did nothing but think.
>>
>>24570692
Somehow I have the feeling this will lead to even more suffering. But I'll try it tomorrow. Shut the blinds off and just be there.

>>24569966
By pursuing the objects of your desire you become enslaved to them.
By refusing to pursue everything you become a slave of your own mind.

The path to freedom is contradictorily a path of egocentrism and autruism.

>Somehow I have the feeling this will lead to even more suffering.
It does, that's kind of the point. You have to face it instead of pushing it away and always knowing the back of your head that you'll someday have to deal with it. It helped me, I hope it helps you as well.
>>
>>24570174
Explain yourself normie.

>>24569128
Human beings aren't designed to suffer, MEN are.

Literally all of your unhappiness stems from the fact you lost the genetic coin flip and were born male.

>You just tank it.
Good luck winning that fight unless you buff with some drugs first.

It better be a dream and after my death, hopefully I will awaken in the real world free from pain. I'm tired of it all. Not even porn, one of the lowest common dominator internet pleasures, can drown out my pain.

TO ESCAPE THE SUFFER YOU MUST EMBRACE THE SUFFER BECOME THE SUFFER

You just need to keep at it until you get there, listening to music to ease into it helps.
>>24571020
I had nothing to drive me. I went through hundreds of hobbies and could never find something that I liked. After thinking about it for a while I accepted that I can't stay interesting in individual things for very long and found that what I really enjoy is learning itself, not the thing I'm learning about. It was so simple but it tormented me for such a long time.
>>
>>24571010
I watch porn too much bro, and it doesn't do anything for me anymore. It's like being a smoker who smokes to feel neutral, and feels like shit when he's not smoking.
