Friends are a nigh guarantee in highschool since you all have to live with each other 6+ hours a day. In college you have to go seeking for people. The hard part is when you aren't forced together it's really hard to tolerate people you deeply dislike/hate.

I should be able to. My connect is through my friend and he says he contacted the connect who said they'd be picking up soon. But I don't have a definitive date for that so I'm just trying to smoke as little as possible until then. I haven't smoked at all yet today and won't until around 8

>You dependant on it? Does it help you?

I don't know. I visited my family for a week and I didn't smoke at all but my anxiety also increased. It helps me to relax and to not be so depressed and feel all alone.

I know it's not healthy for me to smoke as often as I do and that just increases my anxiety.

SSRIs scare me. I am going to see a psychiatrist soon but other than the anxiety that comes when I start to run out, weed is pretty damn effective for me.

Walked out of my job today because nobody would clock me in and give me work.
I hope I don't get fired tomorrow.
I really feel like shit though. My anxiety kicks in there and depression when I leave. I mean I tried and talked to people, but nothing came of it. Maybe if they fire me I'll just commit suicide.

I've decided to not smoke at all in uni. After I did LSD I thought I should really focus on class (albeit im not even focused to do that) but I do notice I'm not as nihilistic and depressed when sober.

Because I've heard all the horror stories, about how it basically takes trying 20 different combinations of medicines to find the right SSRI balance, how long it takes to find the right one, how you feel just downed out 24/7, how it fucks with your mood and personality, all that shit. I just feel a lot more comfortable with marijuana and quite honestly I'd like to move to a state where it's legal if it doesn't become legal in my state any time soon

Can't / don't want to do meds because i have extremly bad experience with adhd meds, they made me pretty much a hollow shell and wasted 3 years of my life.

And a bad trip from weed fucked me up for a looonggg time and makes me extremly anxious with medicen. Last thing i treid where light sleeping pills and i was compelty freaked out the whole night.

And my expereince with therapy is that i might as well get drunk with a depressed buddy of mine and talk about how fucked everything is.

Well, I haven't been on here in a while. I got that job, turns out it's shittier than I thought, but at least it meant I had the means to leave home.

I work on a one day weekend/three day weekend fortnight. It's actually really fucking draining. I feel a little better, but I still would rather be dead than doing this shit, so I guess not as better as I thought?

Today I'm going to get really drunk and not do terribly much, then hate myself for it tomorrow.

>>24766278
How does it feel? Being depressed. I spent three years almost locked in my room, showering once a month, scarcely eating, scarcely going to the bathroom, going to bed around 6AM, waking up at 4PM...without any of the aforementioned being present before that....or now, after. Didn't play videogames or watched a lot of movies to waste my time, I can't even remember what I was doing back them...
Was that depression? It left a huge social scar on me. I don't have friends, I am as "kv" and "touchless" a person can get, but whenever I remember any of this, it doesn't seem important. I find resolution in the fact that I can get through a day without it. Every few months or in a longer timeframe, it really is random, I have this single day that I feel the loneliest I possibly can. Naked. That I need to hold and punch someone simultaneously, so I usually hit a duffel or scream in an isolated place on that particular day and continue as usual. In between those, everything feels passing, surmountable as any other day, -0 libido and desire to change it
>>

>>
>>24771096
Continuous back pain and rsi. The painkillers i used to take pretty much fucked up my liver so i have to pay twice the price for some special kind of mixture.
Was thinking about Kontroll or some other artsy movie that goes with getting wasted.

>>24771715
How will a normie doctor help me? How the fuck can a doctor understand anything.
>>
>>24771744
Same answer to you. How can a therapist truly understand "our" situation(s) ?
>>
>>24771746
They're trained to deal with non-normies; trust me
>>
>>24771769
People are actually pretty predictable, even in depression. You're not the only one to ever feel this way
>>
>>24771646
I'm from a fairly traditional country with fairly traditional social life (Eastern Europe). Not talking suppression, mockery and people viewing you as a deviant, but visiting experts does carry its stigma. No one has to know, of course, except me, which is the problem. I'm the man in the house, so I "molded" myself in the best possible image I could.
To put it simple, I don't know how to lean on. Never talked about this to anyone, this is my second post here. Lurked here once in a while but never felt the need for an input. Just seized the moment, and I only use diclorapid when I'm sore, as far as medication goes

How can I learn to lean or, let go and such? Can the "right person" help me achieve this? I never cared about being loved, but being heard was always important to me
>>
>>24771673
We're on the same ride, sadly i can't give you any kind of advice besides try to see a doctor. Since i stopped visiting my therapist the ride accelerated like it never did before, tried ending it but too much fear of the unknown and changing couldnt do it having sweaty nights and even worse days.
I think i should go back to theraphy.
>Just go to a doctor
>>
Not bad actually. I've just discovered the joys of drinking myself into a stupor every night before I go to bed. Means I can just collapse unconscious and not spend three hours lying awake with my thoughts. Works well, at least until I get up the next day.

>>24771803
Yeah, sure. Some normie doctor living a good life, having experienced all the things we have not. And probably even having children our ages that probably taunted us or would have done so given the chance.

>>24771810
Of course i'm not the only one, but how can i put this. How is a fish that's trained to swim and breathe underwater supposed to teach a lizard to swim and breathe below water?

>>
>>24771872

Right, perhaps. But in the end how can words change our situation? The situation and life we will have to live for additional 30-40 years?.
>>
>>24771844
Ah, thats really tough :(
I'm honestly not sure how you can learn to lean on someone. You need to be comfortable with understanding that you can't be perfect, and that everyone needs help.

>>24771908
You have to be willing to try to change yourself

>>24771848
THats probably not good for you

>>24771849
They spend their lives attempting to help you deal with real life. Its what they do
>>
>>24771963
>You have to be willing to try to change yourself
Right, get a time machine and a plastic surgeon.
>>
>>24771908
That additional 30-40 so years could be good and enjoyable even fun.
Theraphy can release a lot of stress and medications can help to deal with everyday stress and anxiety.

And so can death. Just a long sleep, away from everything.

>>24771993
Not physically, mentally. But you know that and are just being a smartass so
>>
>>24771963
Nah mate, I already know I'm not perfect nor do I strive for perfection. If I did, I'd have done something more...grand with my life now, wouldn't I? Always thought the "condition" I have is simple life's frustration, something a man needs to deal with. I don't know if I need help, however I really appreciate your opinion
>>
>>24772020
I'm being a smartass because your advice doesn't sound very useful.

I very, very rarely post here boys.

I've been with my wife for 11 years; we're both 27 years old. I was born into a wealthy family. My parents own a business and make more than $300k/yr, I'm probably going to inherit the business.

By actual robot's standards, I'm probably good looking. I'm only 5'8", though. But I have a decent sized dick.

I have battled severe depression for many years now. My wife understands entirely. I've succumbed to alcoholism, and I've been drinking daily for a long time. It's very, very difficult to try to change and grow.

I say this because, honestly, it doesn't matter what state your life is in, in regards to your mental health. If your well off or not, your brain doesn't give a fuck. If it's broken, it's broken bud. If you're filthy rich and all that, it isn't any easier to fix your brain. I know it's hard to trust the sort of person that you claim to hate, but I've been lurking these boards for a long, long time.
And I can tell you with sincerity that human suffering is innate, and that deep down inside, we all feel the same way. Do what you have to, try to fix your brain. If you don't try to fix it, you're literally compromising your ability to fix it in the future.

The tool you utilize to fix yourself is the same tool that is broken. Fix it now, don't wait. Otherwise you might find yourself literally surrounded by what everyone else dreams of, and still having suicidal thoughts populate your mind every day.

Sounds like a meme post but to be honest even if this is some sort of parable its a good one. People in all states of life can be depressed, look at all the celebrities who kill themselves, even the ones not on all those drugs.
Anyways man, you getting help for this stuff?
>>
>>24773744
They know I used to drink, they don't know I've started again. I managed about eight months of sobriety one time, and that's when I told them. Alcoholism runs in my family, it just skipped my parents

I've been sort of treating myself for a long time.

Everyone around you will tell themselves that, if they had something desirable that you have, that they'd be better of as a result. It doesn't matter to them if having that thing doesn't make you happy. It doesn't matter to them if having that thing makes you unhappy, for fuck's sake.

I was on some antidepressants for a while, after a work related injury, but I'm never doing that again. As a lot of people have noted, I'd rather feel something, and be in some semblance of control. Fuck feeling nothing and becoming an ironically real robot.

Drinking, though. It's slowly destroying my life, but I'm aware of it, and so is my wife. It's hard to change, brother.

You're doing god's work with these threads, by the way.

Switch meds man, switch meds. If you feel dead on one switch to something else. I actually feel way happier on wellbutrin than i have on anything else.
And yeah habits are really hard to change, especially alcoholism. You probably need rehab for that shit

I suppose. Is there anything specifically you dislike about your life?

Honestly dude, I believe that the body and mind always adapts to what is put into it, and that trying to "trick" it with antidepressants is a bad way to go about it.

Studies have proven that merely imitating a successful, wealthy person causes your brain to secrete the same chemicals and hormones as an actual successful and wealthy person. What you feel is actually changing your brain, what goes in is always having an effect on what comes out. You need to nurture your brain, feel growth, set goals and achieve them. That's what any psych will force you to do if you start seeing one.

In short: Start playing vidya gaym on hard and working out a lot.
>>
>>24774328
I dont think its tricking so much as supplimenting necessary chemicals your brain is lacking.

okay hear me out lads.
i'm really ready to die but i realize that there are still things i should do knowing i'm willing to die in the process.
i will admit i'm not /fullrobot/. i had a girlfriend. she moved away and became an sjw and distanced herself from me before breaking up with me. i want to do something to her. i want the girl i loved back. with the absolute desire to die under my belt i have considered finding her and taking her.
of course this is all hypothetical

This is really misguided, honestly.

Lots of things can help. Meditation, exercise, etc. That doesn't grant you omnipotent control over your neurotransmitters and neuroplasticity. Fucked can still be fucked.

The way they talked about bo burnham or whatever like he was some philosophical genius. One guy was talking to a girl because he was "depressed" and it was literally babby's first bought of sadness. The girl he was talking to tried to kill herself for some roastie bullshit reason.

It's all so fake it gives me a headache.
>>
>>24774446
Well, the "chemical imbalance" portrayal is really flawed. The brain is a complicated system of interrelated systems. Fuck around with one variable and a bunch of other things change too. It's not supplying the missing ingredient so much as poking it with a stick in a way that might result in a net benefit: a more favorable balance of neurotransmitters in specific parts of the brain.

Thats a pretty understandable reason to try to kill oneself, especially when it comes from someone you trust.

Come on, her boyfriend? There's an implicit sexual relationship there. Largely she's a stereotypical edgy teenager.

Yes there is a sexual relationship, but a consensual one. That doesn't give either partner the right to sex without the consent of the other

>I dont think its tricking so much as supplimenting necessary chemicals your brain is lacking.

It is tricking, because your brain is otherwise looking for chemicals that aren't there.

That's why I referenced the studies showing that body language can actually affect brain activity. Pretending to be a successful person results in your brain simulating a successful person. Think about that. Why would you ever take antidepressants if that's true?

Within our lifetime, we will witness a movement that regards anti-depressants as being crude and disgusting. The brain is an ever-evolving organ. You don't need meds to help treat it, in most cases (in my opinion). When you consider the fact that seeing good looking people enjoying McDonald's makes your brain actually truly associate healthiness with McDicks, you'll begin to understand what changes are taking place on your brain in day to day life. You need to feel contentment, basically, regardless of how that takes place. That's what a shrink will have you do, period, and there's a reason for it.

>It is tricking, because your brain is otherwise looking for chemicals that aren't there.
okay, that doesn't make any sense at all

>Within our lifetime, we will witness a movement that regards anti-depressants as being crude and disgusting.
They are, but they're also sometimes the best tool we've got. Everything you do changes your neurology. But if you're lying in bed all day wanting to die, you need something fairly drastic to fix it.

>You don't need meds to help treat it, in most cases (in my opinion).
Your unqualified opinion

>>24775570
I posted earlier in the thread

I have battled severe depression for many, many years. The slightest thing will go wrong and I will have visions of my body being blasted by shotguns, or violently hanging from a tree, dominating my mind. You tell yourself that I cannot possibly understand what you are going through because you don't fucking like what I'm saying.

I'm telling you that you shouldn't rely on a crutch that others have told you is okay, and you've justified it by demonizing me. Say whatever you want, but doing what you just did makes you look like a fucking retard, plain and simple.

>Everything you do changes your neurology. But if you're lying in bed all day wanting to die, you need something fairly drastic to fix it.
Merely understanding the symptoms that you are being faced with could have a drastic effect on how you are feeling. You are implying that drugs are always the answer in desperate times which honestly disgusts me. People like you cause other people to suffer. People like you cause others to destroy their minds. People like you make the problem worse, congratulations.

No, I'm saying you don't understand neurology, so extrapolating your personal experience and trying to apply that to others is inappropriate.

>Say whatever you want, but doing what you just did makes you look like a fucking retard, plain and simple.
You're the one sperging out right now, not me.

Oneohtrix fag from the last thread

Not much of a drug person but weed is cool. I only smoke occasionally with good friends though cause it sometimes makes me feel disconnected from myself.

I wish weed didn't give me anxiety but whatever.

Idk what to do. Nothing interests me. It'd be cool to be really rich and spend my time figuring out ways to get richer, but, well..

How to accept that life is an RTS and you're not the player, not a knight, just a fucking defenseless villager.

I guess this is just an externalization of my actual problem which is that I don't know how to talk to people. But it feels way cooler worrying about the world than about how lame and boring I am.

There are two main psychoactive compounds in weed; THC and CBD. The recent strains are bred for maximum THC because it gets you high, and have much lower CBD than older strains, but the CBD moderates the effects of the THC. The end result is that the weed that's available now tends to be very potent but can cause a lot of bad things (psychotic episodes for one thing); you might experience less anxiety with a different strain.

The best way I can describe my sadness is this: if I were a class in an rpg I would have a class bonus of -20 happiness that is always in effect as well as something that halves the effect of everything that increases happiness. So I can be happy, it just takes way more, and even when nothing good/bad is happening to me I just feel this creeping, melancholy sadness. Is this depression?

"This feeling doesn't go away

I want a love I had inside
Want to feel it moving through me

I'd rather be sleeping
I'd rather fall in to tidal waves

Different anon but I think he means just taking a hit, not getting 'high' but slightly 'toasted'.

I quit smoking myself for a while. If you are a depressive type person there is honestly nothing worse. It makes you content with being bored and alone and doing nothing, which sort of enables you to be 'comfortably' depressed.


Now I stopped and I just feel angry. I was at work today and I was fucking pissed. My confidence feels higher though, I felt like the baddest mf in the whole joint. Im scared im gonna punch some custy right in the face
