This OP, youre only gonna make it worse

Join the navy

Xanax

Start by going out alone. Don't need to talk to anyone or even look at anyone. Just go out to some place you like as you slowly get comfortable with the idea of other people. The rest would be easy.

quit watching pornography

>>734654341

All of this.

KYS. You have to die eventually and lose all cognition forever so you may as well skip the bullshit.

alcohol

>>734654302
let gay men fuck you. then you will feel wanted and valuable and slowly you would find yourself worthy of talking to girls and fucking them. it worked for me. also getting butt fucked feels pretty good, if the man that's fucking you points out that you don't have a boner, just say something that you have been drinking too much

>>734654302

Gym.

>>734654645
Oh and I forgot to mention that you should start slow. Give yourself time. If you fail to keep up your routine sometimes you may take it to fast. Don't feel guilty though, just try to learn to adjust and make it better next time.

>>734654645
not op but same issues
>why the fuck do i need to pay a progessional just to confirm i am socially retarded, like i don't see the sense in this.

>>734654302

the realization that literally nobody is worth going through it. the hell with them.

the world is yours. grab it by the pussy.

buy ashwagandha from jarrow

>>734654302
Psychologist. It has saved my life, medicine has to say the least. Also, leaving 4chan, I check in every few months but, yeah 4chan has just made me much sadder. Quit.

>>734654714
>>734654302
>Alcohol
>Depressant
Fuck no. Cocaine is the only answer.

>>734654941
Because a professional will help you to deal with it. And it's always good to have somebody to talk to. Also you need somebody to prescribe you medication. Medication and therapy will most plus the other things I mentioned will make your condition better.

Kys plz

Fuck yeah, that comedown.

Tinder and alcohol.

Realize you're just one person. Those around you don't give a shit about anyone but themselves. Therefore you shouldnt stress over what u do. just live life for you, and not others

>>734655826
You don't know how good life gets until you go to the bar instead of 4chan. I sound like a normie as >>734655563 pointed out but, honestly do whatever you can to socialize. Socialization was impossible for me before I got on an anti anxiety med, so I'd see a doctor first.

>>734655869
Agreed

ok here is a little more info, not op but also mega social autist
>work in factory literally talk to like 3 people
>if i even know someone is watching me do my job i feel like i'm just gonna sperg out and a couple times i've even like kinda twitched but not noticeable
>too autist to even page over phone system on rare occasion asked to use
>cannot even talk to random normies without feeling the awkward surge so how the fuck would tinder help
>i mostly just play vidya and tell myself being alone isn't the worst thing in world
>be depressed but walk around and try to look like everything is ok
>whenever someone says "hey anon are you alright" cause i let the depression show, just say yeah and make up autist excuse

>>734654302
I enjoy a good tab of adderal here and there

I am finding positive results from the indian herb ashwagandha. It available as a food supplement from amazon. Reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) , Half the effect of prozac but not prescribed and not addictive. While i take it i find my self much more 'spontaneous' with people, particularly at work.

>>734656870
>Ashwagandha is used for arthritis, anxiety, trouble sleeping (insomnia), tumors, tuberculosis, asthma, a skin condition marked by white patchiness (leukoderma), bronchitis, backache, fibromyalgia, menstrual problems, hiccups, and chronic liver disease.
Lmao

Speak to your doctor about it. They have to have something that can help you with that. Also, sex and exercise are great time passers and stress relievers. If you can't have sex, then just go to the gym. Not only will you relax yourself, but you will also work on yourself and gain some self confidence.

Me, personally, I just try my absolute best to not give a fuck what anybody thinks of me. If they have a problem with me, then that's their personal issue, not mine. It tends to work and it relaxes me.

>>734656442

Take meds, get therapy, or work in a job tha forces you to be more social

Started working a new job like six months ago and it's helped me not have as much anxiety but I still have days where I'm in a really bad head space and have lots of anxiety and am paranoid to retarded extremes but that's because I've never seen a therapist about it or taken any medicine.

take walks outside, throw on some headphones and try to zone out. depending on where you are the most that will happen is somebody will nod at you or say hello but you have headphones so just fucking ignore them if you want
thats as far as i've been able to get, same situation but no job. just sit at home playing vidya but i try to take a walk every few days. getting stoned helps too

>>734657210
that's the thing, i don't even give a shit what people think about me but i'm still depressed as shit, i can't even explain it like i do things and have fun for a bit to distract myself but in any downtime or while i am just sitting at work doing whatever for the day it's like wow, everything just fucking sucks

>>734656442
I would recommend getting out there on some anti anxiety drugs that are prescribed. Then get out, go to some bars. Meet some people, go on a dating website. You can meet people Anon, I know it.

>>734657440
Ah, i see. Have you spoken to a doc about it?

>>734657383
can't smoke anymore cause job has random drug tests with any bullshit excuse they want (and had to sign the papers for said job) but it's either have this job or get kicked out, still live with parents but the pay is decent so i can't complain and have been saving a lot cause no rent as long as i'm not retarded slob

>>734657480
>>734657690
fuck me all roads seem to point to a doc :/ Haven't gone to doc since i turned 18, always just told doc same shit i tell everyone else so they would fuck off and i could leave faster... :|

You could also take small amounts of Kratom, it helps massively with anxiety and makes you way more social. It's legality is sketchy in some states so check online but you can order all Kratom online for fairly cheap - also non addictive and impossible to OD on.

I personally am now using one 200mg caffeine pill every morning to help with the anxiety and make me more productive, you can buy them in Amazon for like 100 for $5

>go to gym get /fit/
>make new friends from people that will now approach you since your no longer a nasty neckbeard faggot.
> use said friends to find a fuckable bitch.
>fuck bitch, (though you might not last long and prolly dissapointherhard.jpeg
>get more confidence from said fucking.
>rinse n' repeat until no longer a fag' o'.
>no longer depressed cause have confidance and have been fucking 4's or 5's
>PROFIT

>>734657716

Also kratom won't show up on any drug tests as long as it's pure kratom and not mixed with any lab chemicals (can happen if you order kratom extract)

When was the last time you went out?
Do you remember the people you walked past? Remember the person who served you in a shop? no?
Exactly.
You're 1/8,000,000,000 people.
Enjoy your life and stop orrying what others think.

I find the best thing to help my anxiety and depression is a cold swim in the ocean. It always does wonders. I live in Venice LA. I will gladly meet u for a coffee and a swim anytime. Hit me on Instagram dm @ekkomc

>>734657716
ah yeah that shit sucks. i shouldn't smoke cause i need a job but fuck it i guess
if shit gets too bad it might actually be helpful to talk to somebody 'professional' just to get some meds if nothing else.
hang in there bro

>>734658062
Please, you need to pull any hope you have left out of your brain and apply it to fixing yourself. I genuinely fell very bad for you, I feel you I tried to OD twice in HighSchool, I ended up throwing up and taking myself to the hospital but, please go to the doctor and help yourself while you still can. I have so much hope for you and want you to be ok. Please, know that I care, and use that as some influence to care about yourself.

>>734658062
You can't do that, man. You need to be completely honest and open to your doctor. It sucks, I know. But it could be the only way that they can help you and do something about it.

>>734658448

>Enjoy your life and stop orrying what others think.

telling someone who has depression and anxiety to enjoy life is same as telling a person with cancer "live a long life"

>>734658448
This is some of the worst replies I have seen in a while, you just don't understand life.

>>734658090
>Kratom
Oh yeah, def. Injecting air IV makes you fresh and lucid too.

Anxiety/Social anxiety, while hard to fight, are much much easier to handle depression.

Anxiety could be ignored with finding something that relaxes you, which can be difficult. Depression on the other hand, you might need to consult your doctor about it. I would recommend telling your doctor about both your anxiety and your depression.

>>734654302
smoke weed until it bores you then stop.

>>734654302
For me, it helped a lot to not be a NEET and have a job.
I dont care much about anything other than being able to support myself though I do get depressed and stressed/anxious. It feels better when I'm working and reward myself in my free time. Usually by masturbating and not giving a fuck about anything if I can.

>>734659035

i have both to the point of being unable to work and i'm giving just that advice. people are the source of a lot of the suffering and they aren't worth suffering over. if you can come to that realization you're on your way to feeling better.

Take venlafaxine. Talk to a therapist. Go to the gym or do some sports. Make precise week plans. Get realistic, small goals for your days.

>>734654302
drugs and meditation. open your third eye. you can literally feel it open; it's an actual body part with nerves surrounding it. it's not a game or anything. meditation has tranquilizing effects. literally even if you don't want to learn about chakras or anything you can just sit with your eyes closed and breathe in a controlled manner for half an hour, and when you get up you'll feel mellowed out.

>>734659766
I tired Venlafaxine and I couldn't cum and it made me worse, he needs to see a doctor to get the proper medicine.

>>734654302
do NOT start drinking

>>734659239

Except there s legitimate science Proving that kratom works and stimulates similar opioid receptors that legitimate opioids do?

Just because you were autistic and didn't do your research and got scammed doesn't mean you can go around spreading misinformation that could potentially stop someone from helping themselves.

>>734659714
You're full of shit. That advice doesn't help at all. Crawl into a fire.

OP, talk to professionals. Counseling can help a lot, and medications exist that you can take as needed to help.

i had both conditions and won through paying attention to my ridiculous inner dialog. first, stop taking yourself so ridiculously seriously. fuck your anxiety, fuck your depression (is the attitude I adopted about my own). counter their stupid arguments. fuck their stupid cuntish bullshit attitudes. you're here, you might as well see what happens. you might as well not sabotage yourself, you might as well find it kinda funny that part of you - of all people would try to sabotage you. sure those voices will always be there to some extent, but fuck their stupid asses. find one that is trying to help you. if you can't do that, do it anyway.

>>734654302
Google rejection therapy

>>734659714
I can agree, anon.
I don't feel bad about myself, but others are the source of why I ever feel bad. I am aware of how to improve myself. I don't need others to shit on me.

>>734655478
I went to a behavioural therapist for about 3 months, it helped a lot.

As odd as it seems, its really good to have someone you can open up to that is not a part of your daily life or circle of friends, you can talk about shit, get a professional opinion on some, and walk out, leaving that topic alone for another week.

The good ones are also excellent at knowing when to push you to keep thinking on a subject, and when to let you muse over something for yourself. It might not seem like much, but many of them do have the right questions and frame of mind to help you realise that you are a person worthy of friendship and self love.

>>734659878
OP if you dont read this post then you have failed yourself. if you have anxiety you are not spiritually healthy. you can take recreational drugs to cure it. dont go to a therapist. honestly you dont need drugs at all but they can walk you to where you need to be as you heal yourself. you need to meditate

>>734654302
everyone around you judges you and each other.

Start judging people and establish a pecking order of those around you, that should help you find your place.

>>734659714
same anon responding to you. You should definitely get a job. I worked 2 jobs for a year while going to school and I have really bad social anxiety. I just committed myself to showing up. I couldnt relax much even on my own time, but I waited to do my duties and became stronger as a result. Now I have a permanent job and a really good reference from a small company owner and great experience from a large company.

don't be a pussy and buy into the "life is suffering" asshat propaganda. your mind tells you what the world around you is. make it tell you better things, ass.

>>734654302
Progress is made through exposure.
Get prepared to take tiny steps outside your comfort zone.
And try to go further everyday.
You can do it op. I believe in you.
Stay focused on your journey. And learn what you need to do to prepare.
The first stage is realizing theres a problem.
Now just identify your problems, and try to remain patient in finding and working out solutions.

>>734660616
IF THERES A PROBLEM JUST GET A PILL TO FIX IT!!

the DSM is pretty legit guys. my IQ is 136 but this retarded cunt who went to school for 4 years knows how to operate my mind better than I do!

so now I can go home and watch tv and eat doritos and continue neglecting all responsibility of myself

>>734654645
>>734654801
i dont agree with you. What do you work, are you a pussy destroyer?
It is good if he start doing what you mentioned, besides seeking professional help. This is the last thing he should do!

OP you must go outside and talk to people and girls. Step by step, start asking for time and shit. Talk first with agly or friendly fat people.
With more Girls you talk, so much the better you will get. Its just training.
Lern some pick up or talk to a pick up forum about that.
