>>724358928
Why don't your friends talk to you anymore? Did you piss them off somehow?

>>724359224
I guess they just got bored of me. Im not good at making new friends, so I usually want to stick to the ones I already have.

>>724358928
>>I feel lonely all the time
>>I have no plans at all, all I do is sit at home
And there is your problem. Get outside the house you dumbass.

>>724359388
and go where? do what?

>>724359351
Yeah, you have to be interested in something to be an interesting person.

How old are you? Do you live at home? Pay rent? In high school? Happy with family? Have a job? Live in a big city? Drive?

>>724359743
20 y.o, live with parents, am in college, have nice parents

>>724358928
kind of the reverse for me, i dont talk to any of my friends anymore. I used to have a lively social life. i could have joined the marines if i wasn't already diagnosed with mental illness.

there are many many forms of "life sucks", and i share mine with you. learning to be a social creature does not cure all ills. life still sucks.

>>724360096
There you go. You are in a golden period of your life. You have access to resources, society, interesting clubs, a gym, medical help, counselling. In 3-4 years much of that will be gone. IF you get a good job, you can have some decent stuff going on.

Take advantage of the resources available to you now. Talk to someone (i.e. a counsellor). Join a club. Exercise. Take part in life. If you need antidepressants, get them. I did, and it helped.

>>724359592
What's in your local area? sign up to clubs, go for walks, start jogging, literally do anything where you go outside or meet people. it's not hard.

>>724358928
I feel the same way, but I have refused to talk to any of my friends anymore and i really don't care.

socializing is not really part of the picture, but i feel for you bro. shit sucks.

>>724360318
the "golden period" idea is all well and good unless you're afflicted with severe depression or some other brand of mental illness.

>>724360541
there are some gyms, but I hate it, I prefer bodyweight exercises... I was thinking of learning to fight.

Hence the antidepressants and counselling.

>>724361117
that only goes so far, unfortunately. for some it works.

>>724361187
Have you tried both?

>>724360318
wow, it's really nice of you to actually listen and give friendly to someone on /b/. Kudos to you, sir.

>>724361567
yeah, i first started paxil and klonopin... lets see, 17 years ago. counsellors are mostly helpful for me as a part of routine to adhere to.

I have learned a little bit from counsellors, but often their ideas, at least concerning CBT are already familiar to me as i read a lot.

>>724358928
make getting a job your plan then try making friends while you do that

Sometimes it helps to switch up your counsellor. There are some really good ones out there. But they are usually in private practice. If your parents can afford it, it is worth it. The good ones do not simply dish out cognitive behaviour therapy, but engage with you in a deeper way.

Also, have you tried different antidepressants? I guess you have if you started three years ago. But switching meds can make a difference.

The other thing is that changing your circumstances can make a huge difference. As you said, having a routine is helpful. Putting something new into your routine - such as joining a club - can really shake things up.

Day drink, it's what I do.

>>724362111
three years old is too early for psychiatric medication. if >>724362137

>>724358928
Go outside right now, for a good walk.

Also get a dog that will force you to play with it. Mine will throw shit at me and my things if Im not giving him enough attention.

>>724362249

There is evidence of efficacious use of meds in children as young as 6. But yes 3 is too young for sure.

Do what I used to do. Go to the bar and talk to other people like yourself that are sitting alone at the bar. Unless the sperg is strong with you.

>>724362211
Yes, i've used a few different antidepressants over the years and have dealt with both shitty and good counsellorsl. my best ones either retired, or quit due to unspecific family circumstances. my significant other has done over a year with a shitty counsellor as well.

I've done quite a few different things in life, living on my own, living with girlfriends, getting married, moving far from home, landing decent paying jobs that i'm qualified for, having an active social life, given loads of advice on the internet over the years as well as seeking it myself. I have actually been lucky and the majority of my consellors have been worth the effort to see as well as the money. I've seen the shitty new age "meditate your way to wellness' counsellors who do nothing but listen, as well as those who actively attempt to give tools to work with, some of which have given me great benefit in life.

I hate being a bitch who whines and bitches that everything sucks, but unfortunately it's something i have to deal with periodically.

>>724362532

Also, if you have money to spare or your parents are able to help you out with funds, I highly recommend you look up the use of ketamine as an off-label treatment for depression. It's currently undergoing FDA approval so insurance won't cover it. It's more for refractory depression, so if you have tried meds etc. with no lasting results. But the results with ketamine are astounding.

>>724362738

I'm glad to hear that you've taken up your health as a project. That's the important thing. Also glad to hear you've had some positive influences, and learned a lot.

I can relate. Sometimes everything is just darkness. I hope it doesn't last too long. You've got support.

>>724362895

That is also correct. It's primarily being used in the realm of PTSD at the moment. It used to be approved for usage in things like marriage counseling.

>>724362401
4chan's always there for you, anon, calm down

>>724362960
No, but seriously. I was in the same boat as you. Then I joined some clubs and got into doing some fun shit I always wanted to do and life just got better from there. Now I've got a lovely girlfriend and a decent paying job.

k, slitting wrists now. pls pray for swift death instead of hospitalization and behavioral unit time.

Depression is unfortunately a chronic relapsing/remitting disease for many people who suffer with it. And unfortunately the more major depressive episodes you've had, the more likely you are to suffer another one.

You have to find a treatment that works, and there are many options, and also unfortunately if the disease is never treated the natural course of it leads many individuals to suicide.

But there are a lot of treatments out there; there's something that ultimately works for everyone, even if you have to go drastic measures like electroconvulsive therapy.

>>724363359
You're welcome.

>>724363705
The girl has used me as emotional support yesterday over text, the angry one texted me about horizon being decent and him not being able to buy skyward sword today and I talked to the flirtatious gay 2 or 3 days ago.
I don't remember how long since I talked to the others.

>>724363820
i don't know about lately, i tried visiting again like a month or so ago, but lost patience with the extreme shittiness and left again... like usual.

>>724364369
I've been on prozac, sertraline (zoloft) and I'm currently on Venlafaxine (Effexor) at 150mg. I'm gonna go back to the doctor soon and ask for a higher dose because the inability to enjoy anything shows it's probably not working.

The only thing I look forward to is being asleep, to be honest.

On a waiting list for counselling but it's like a 7 month wait.

>>724365057
i can't handle being around stressful people like that. hard on the arteries as well as the wallet.

>>724365057
How's he when he plays videogames? Doesn't that make him angry sometimes?

>>724365236
i fucking HATE the psychiatric waiting list. the only way to move up is to slit your wrists and force your way into the behavioral units.

>>724365277
Same. I almost hate him but he's the only guy I can reliably get to my house. Whenever I can't stand loneliness, I call him only to regret it hours later.
>>724365289
He spends his time whining and explaining why he's losing or why he isn't being helpful in a whiny or angry tone while playing multiplayer or narrating what he's doing every 3 minute while playing solo.

>>724365371
I just wish I could enjoy stuff, again. Especially gaming, that was like, all I had.

I might start smoking dope again, I dunno. Part of the reason I quit apart from money and not wanting it to interfere with the meds is that it started giving me really bad anxiety.

It's sad, really. In some ways I was happier when I was street homeless, because it was like a struggle to survive, I had something to do, even if it meant sleeping in a tent or sleeping in a graveyard with fucking newspaper-filled binbags to keep the weather out.

A few years ago, a little place of my own where I could smoke all the dope I wanted and spend my NEET days gaming all the time would've been like a dream. Now I have it and I've stopped enjoying all of those things. Ironic, I guess.

>>724358928
I almost got rid of all my friends.
Glad to come home alone.
Embrace your situation.
Friends and acquaintances is good only if you need help or something out of your reach.

be proud of your loneliness. Disney is responsible for your weakness.

Do you know the possible source of his anger, our is it just his personality?

>>724365869
Technically, you can always get better new friends

>>724365741
I think it's his personality. He gets angry at very trivial things and even has a resting bitchface. This isn't related but this fucker even has some kind of PTSD about having his phone being closed while receiving an important call so he spends a lot of time on his phone and charging his phone, which is yet another obnoxious trait.
>>724365963
Well you'd need energy for that.

>>724365700
gaming has been something that has kept me alive for many years.... there's almost nothing worse than when they all start to go stale. the first game that i aknowledged as a saviour of mine through severe depression was max payne. i wore the mousepad out that came with that game.

its weird as fuck seeing so many states legalizing MJ now, spekaing of smoking dope. It has always been one of the greatest tools against deep depression even though so many clinicians like to say it's bad/evil/terriblefun.

>>724365963
like the other dude said, energy is needed for that.

also, when you've had numerous types of friends over the years, it becomes a less appealing usage of time and effort.

>>724366057
Do you feel less lonely when you provide emotional support, as in what you did yesterday?

>>724366515
Not really, I just want someone to spend time with me. Preferably while not being a huge asshole if I can be picky. I'm kind of jaded to online interactions or texting, they don't feel much more real than vidya to me.

>>724366174
Yeah, the Max Payne series was awesome. Max Payne 3 was with me through a shitty time in my life when I was taking way too many painkillers myself, not to mention it was an awesome game.

I dunno what I'm hoping for with the higher dose, that I'll magically have motivation and start to enjoy stuff again, I fucking doubt it.

Good luck OP, I hope you can make things better. Also don't take living with your parents for granted, living alone has it's pros and cons.

>>724366890
i had all of my wisdom teeth out sometime in the max payne era... painkillers are seductive. I've avoided trying real opiates because of how much i enjoyed the hydrocodone high.

ex fiancee was off the hook with oxycontin. opiates are like a siren song, i know i'd end up a junkie if i pursued it.

>>724367127
I do from time to time. He answers very slowly and in pretty short sentences.

>>724367320
Yeah don't, it's a slippery slope.

I'm one of the few people who've managed to use heroin and crack cocaine and give up, and in my opinion the only reason I was able to quit heroin was because I never pinned it.

To be fair maybe all the drugs have fucked up my neurology and that's part of the reason I can't enjoy anything. Things are just getting steadily worse.

That helium canister gets more tempting errday.

>>724367499
unfortunately i think they cut the helium now because of it's popularity as an exit strategy. maybe that's just rumor, though.

I really hate the suicide failure raite.

>>724358928
you may be lonely at first but some day you will find TRUE friends.

>>724367722
Hanging seems like a really shitty way to go unless you manage to break your neck, which is unlikely.

Jumping into traffic or a train could be quick, but then again, maybe not; and you're traumatising some poor cunt for life.

I was thinking maybe just getting some whiskey and benzos when the stage is finally set (no one around who cares anymore) and just doing a shot with a couple, wait a few, do a shot with a couple, continue.

I dunno if I can hold out that long, to be fair. Plus waiting for family members to die is a bit grim in itself.

I don't even need or want to have a successful life or another girlfriend or any shit like that, it'd be enough just to be able to enjoy things again, but I can't :(

>>724368122
I've seen two hanging "victims". no idea how much they suffered, their faces weren't frozen into rictuses of pain at least.

have seen one guy who died drinking himself to death next to a 90% empty bottle of gin. flat on his back on a hotel room bed in front of a television.

I wouldn't go for hanging myself, if you aren't able to break the neck properly you fall back on asphyxiation which can take minutes that i'd rather not endure.

if you haven't already, i would suggest trying some psych meds. anhedonia is severely shitty, and as much as i hate SSRI's and other antidepressants, sometimes it's the only thing that can help me experience positive emotions even as much as "this game is cool i guess"

>>724367412
Here's your options, from most recommended to least:
1: get a dog - as long as you treat them right, a dog should love and want to spend time with you all the time
2: spend time with current friends - decide what is more wallet saving -drinking with angry friend or going for a coffee with grill. Tell the girl that you are interested in somebody else, even if you aren't, and say some stuff like you really mean it. If you manage to not look suspicious, girl shouldn't be thinking that you are hitting on her, if you simply invite her with "hey, you wanna get some coffee?". It's kind of risky though
3 - get some hobbies that will let you kill time without thinking about loneliness, outdoors are nice for hiking or jogging
4 - try to abandon desire for human contact, and shitpost on Michigan watersports board forever as social interaction.

On the meds currently, I'm the anon who posted above about being on three different ones over time, I'm gonna get them to up to the dose.

That's pretty much all I want though, to have the motivation to wanna do stuff, even videogames, and to be able to sit down and enjoy one again, or enjoy anything.

>>724368896
I guess I really should get a dog.
It'll get me someone to talk to and interact with on a daily basis so I don't go insane from the loneliness.

>>724369156
Why not a cat? Less maintenance.

>>724369156
It also forces you to go outside to get fresh air, and you might even meet new people with it.
Dog's a very good choice

>>724369084
good luck with that. i'm on a waiting list to see my shrink again to get back on meds. I should have never stopped taking them but , i tried working part time again as i was feeling okay with what i was taking at the time and i just can't handle very many things at once anymore, including keeping appointments of any kind.

I've gone through the cycle quite a few times over the years, and am used to periods where i just have to wait and trust that there's light at the end of the tunnel even if it takes a long time....

When I'm at the end of my rope but still have some kind of wherewithal left, i will often find others online who are in the shit and try to help them out somehow.

When it's not possible to enjoy anything anyjmore, even a simple distraction is worth the time.
