Alright robots,
Help me help you (not really)
I have a presentation for Sociology tomorrow on depression and the overall feeling of loneliness.
What better place than here?
Anyone want to share some feels on being alone that I can screencap?
Has to be SFW so I can show on the presentation.
Does anyone else have this Christian feel of not wanting to live but knowing suicide is a sin? I would've probably killed myself ages ago if I actually believed there was nothing after. But I feel there will be no peace in death if I go that way.
Depression is like constipation.
It's uncomfortable and you really want it out of you, yet the only solution is probably to spray your feelings out uncontrollably and you'd rather keep them inside given that alternative.

Nice, good convos
thanks
Lonliness leads to depression leads to people not wanting to be around you leads to lonliness..
The cycle never ends

Hurts man. Sometimes hurts all over but no way to fix it. I feel a huge burden of stress on me. The future is bleak and it's hard to not want to kill myself knowing no woman will ever love me

What makes you want the love from a woman so much?

>has presentation coming up
>can focus on anything else rather than having to fight the anxiety
NORMIES LEAVE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Holy shit I thought I was the only fucking guy. Thanks OP, you made my night!

Basically I feel tired all the time (am tired as soon as I wake up, for example) and have very little motivation to do anything. Vicious cycles essentially goes:
>not motivated enough to do necessary things (apply for internships, work on papers, &c.)
>panic about having done nothing, consumed by overwhelming
hopelessness about future and present
>smoke weed to feel better
>continue to do nothing to improve situation
pic related, good luck with your presentation OP

Don't have trouble presenting at all
just thought it would be a great addition
I suffered with depression since I was like 12. Maybe longer than that. Started when I noticed how easy it was for others to socialise with one another while I fumbled my every word, talked so quietly people didn't even hear me, and generally just not contributing to a conversation because I feel whatever I say will be irrelevant.
Here lately maybe due to medication I feel pretty apathetic. Which is kinda nice. Though now I have mood swings going from minor happiness to uncontrollable anger about situations I faced when I was depressed and how much I've missed out on life due to my fears.
For me depression is living in the past reliving failures misinterpreting others comments and actions while being afraid of the future and not enjoying the present

There are two interpretations. Either your soul is destroyed and you stop existing, or you live an afterlife so mundane and shit as your current one, knowing that you are a fuckup for not being by God's side. If you believe the lake of fire and torture bullshit you are probably retarded, or worse yet, a protestant.

How old are you know?

DO you know why you don't have any motivation?

24. I can't complain too much. Got a decent job I enjoy and parents that love me. Could be another aspect of depression others feel as well. You could be having a good day. Everything going your way. And it just hits you. (Though that may be more related to manic depression. I was diagnosed with that along with paranoid schizophrenia at a nuthouse)
