Is anyone here besides me actually depressed, or are you guys

can i assist you in your suicide it'd be really fun for me

>>34605825
ive been depressed for give or take 5 or so years. not a meme. i dont do it for attention. im probably mentally ill

>>34605825
How would one distinguish depression in others. Spoilers; you fucking can't, you presumptuous damp sack of cum.

>>34605831
If you were a true sadist you'd try to save me; because everyday is pain as I try to gather enough willpower just to leave bed.

Besides I don't trust you not to fuck it up (like everything you do).

>>34605825
I hate people who are depressed for attention, and also people who assume all depressed people are depressed for attention.

The layers of irony and shitposting are what masks this depression, and relieves our suffering.

I'm depressed but the whole of 4chan thinks girls can't be depressed.

>>34605876
Girls can actually feel derpression, contrary to popular belief - but there are many different types of depression, all of them needing different methods of treatment (or in some cases, there isn't much you can do)

As an example, there is loneliness / isolation depression, caused by a lack of oxytocin release from social interaction and bonding - these are your cuddle/waifu types.

There is the angry at life type, that have been betrayed and hurt by normalfags - these are the majority of the chad/stacy posters you will see.

There is the superdepressed nihilistic existiential depression, which will usually actually post decent content, under 10 trillion layers of irony.

And so on.

Girls can be depressed - gender doesn't really stop anything (Look at the trap threads!)

>>34605876
>>34605926
Also tits or gtfo.

>>34605825
People who use depression to get attention aren't really depressed. Real depressed people keep it to themselves.

>>34605956
Not everyone who is depressed does not express their feelings of depression. Overall attention seeking can be seen as a ploy for help in some depressed people, or simply a way to express themselves and make themselves feel better for a while.

Get a life, bin that knife.

I wouldn't say I'm clinically depressed, but I am sad. I'm at the lowest point in my entire 18 years of living, and I just wanna get out of here. I just got out of school about late last year and tried to get a job as a programmer nut got fired for always being late, and then I tried finding another one but just couldn't. Now I'm at home being a lonely neet doing nothing productive while all my friends are at uni doing something with their lives. It feels bad man!

I dont doubt they can become depressed,
just not for reasons we could find relatable.
maybey you feel just as bad or worse as us maybey, but jesus fuck take it somewhere else , the whole of society bends over backward to coddle women, you have literally the rest of the internet to show you sympathy
we just have small niche places in the corners of the web and really dont need you to push your fucking problems we can not possibly understand or comprehend,
its like someone who's morbidly obese trying to explain their problem to a starving child in africa
it just doesn't work.

>>34606391
What if our problem is that you hate us in general? I'm sure you can understand that.
I come here to remind myself what men think of us so I don't accidently get too hopeful about a man I date before getting let down.
It's be great for that.

For me, I am not happy, neither unhappy, I watch life flowing by while being distant. I have achieved stoicism.

>>34606689
You've achieved nothing.

>>34606598
And what do you think of us?
And I don't mean you on 4chan. I mean in GENERAL.
I suppose it's logical that you can't understand since you have no real regard for us while we actually fall in love with men. So the weight being hated by who you love is lost on you.

>>34606710
For you.
I don't care about any material desire nor am driven by greed.
I just live and it's enough for me.

>>34606755
>we actually fall in love with men.

You fall in love with men because men actually give you a chance to fall in love.
If robots don't care about women (not true anyway, most faggots here put pussy on a pedestal, even if they talk a different game) you have only women to blame.

Take it with the robots who start "femanon threads" then, not me. And yes, your vagina (or rather, your sex) is your personhood, you've literally crashed in a male-oriented board just to say "BUT WAD ABOT DE WIMINZ".

Men don't need to give me a "chance".
I can love someone for who they regardless of whether or not they spend an iota of their time or attention on me.

Because pedantic people like to make things overcomplicated.
Sometimes being reductive is a good thing lad.
And I don't care about fitting, whether I fit or not isn't important, I'll stay myself and if I don't naturally fit, no need to stay.

Do you have a single fact to back that up mister?

>>34605825
No, I was legitimately diagnosed when my mom forced me to go to the doctor against my will while I was sixteen.

>>34605865
Then how do therapists diagnose you? The point is some doctor decided what depression looked like and told all the other doctors to look for that in other people.

Sounds kind of depressing when you think about it, tho. People only trust doctors, and doctors trust other doctors, all the way up the doctor food chain to the Big Cheese doc, why does he decide your mental health from the grave? Beats me

Yes I know this argument has flaws.

>>34605825
Yeah. Pretty much dead inside with a bleak outlook on life

>>34607120
I'd hazard to say technology kinda muddied the water, as it always has, making life more convenient while complicating the bare boned definition of "survival."

You're very welcome not to stay, that would be an achievement in its self. Atleast you'd be choosing a path to walk instead of standing in one spot insisting that you couldn't possibly care about getting anywhere. It's the "gtfo" part of "contribute or gtfo".

>>34607125
I'm pretty sure I smell menstruation. Any you boys smell menstruation?

>>34607193
>You're very welcome not to stay
Yeah, but it's hard as fuck to do that.
I need to buy land big enough so I can grow crops and have a water supply too.
And even if I manage to live on my own, they will disturb my peace every year to tax me.

>>34607238
It's funny the nonsensical things a person has to do just to survive, eh? Now imagine you were able to do that solely with the application of skills you taught yourself. It'd be pretty sweet, huh, being able to survive on skills alone. It's because I "like to paint" that I'm able to survive.

>>34607278
>Now imagine you were able to do that solely with the application of skills you taught yourself

M8, I know all the flora of my area (biologist), I know the soil, what crop need what mineral. I also know how to build a cabin and the basis of physics and chemicals. So I could make some watermill to get electricity.
The only things I couldn't get in my place are some metals needed for making batteries.
I even know the basics of smithing.

Please don't assume everyone is as helpless in the wilderness than you are.

>>34607340
Nigga you completely missed the point. I'm saying I've used my passion of visual expression to carve out a bit of fulfilled survival, just as you would use your knowledge/passion of living off the land to do the same.
I'm saying, because technology has obscured what survival means, a person can survive because of their passion or unique skillsets beyond toiling the land.

>>34607402
>I'm saying I've used my passion of visual expression to carve out a bit of fulfilled survival

Oh, I see, sorry I jumped on my high horse a bit fast.
But I believe technology isn't eternal and the more complex it becomes, the less people would be able to understand it.
Just to compare, ask yourself how many people knew how to repare a car 50 years ago when it was all mechanical.
Now that the cars got a lot of electronical components, almost nobody know how to handle it.
And survival in the society is easy, just look here, you don't need skill to be a NEET and yet you're able to survive.

I don't know if I'm depressed or not.
I mean based on the tests, yes. Based on I guess my symptoms, yeah probably.
But I guess I just don't think this is a mental illness. More like I'm going through a shitty time, or have been for a while. Idk.
I guess what I'm saying is I feel depressed, but not sure that means there is something wrong with me. Like it's a battle I've got to fight, I've got to climb out of this abyss
I don't know

I was for 8 years, then managed to stop it. I still have no reason to live though so I often think about if it's a good idea to end it early but it doesn't make me sad or anything if I can find a reason I'm fine with living till the end.

Exactly, that complicated machinery is there to provide convenience.
>making life more convenient while complicating the bare bones definition of "survival"
You don't need all those fancy gadgets to survive, but you might need a car to transport you to and from work. It's a microcosm for society, you don't need the complications, but those complicated components are a facet of your survival.

Let's take NEETS
>And survival in the society is easy, just look here, you don't need skill to be a NEET and yet you're able to survive.
It's easy for a NEET to survive on a very superficial level, but take a step back and look at all the complicated shit that has to happen in society TO ensure their survival. All the wagies grinding away, all the politics at work, all the social red tape to qualify. It's a big, complicated system just to provide that NEET comfort and survival.

Yeah. Ever since 2011/2012. Just started going with a therapist. As a matter of fact, today i have an appointment with her, but to be honest, i feel that psychology is meme and doesn't work at all. I went as a child and the therapist seriously said to my parents that yu gi oh cards were giving me nightmares because of the back of the cards that had like a spin, total bullshit, ever since then i dont trust therapists. But at least it gives me the opportunity to actually speak to someone once a week.

I've never had any of that shit (friends/gf or literally anyone who cares about me) and I feel like I can't relate to anyone because I know their just memeing because it's the cool thing to do these days.

>>34605825
Life is just shit senpai, were all depressed.
I try to hide it though

I am depressed. Don't enjoy anime, video games, or music anymore. Have to fake being happy around my only friend, and girlfriend. I do my best to stay away from them and my family. I don't know what I want in this life.

I was clinically diagnosed when I was a kid because I was right in the middle of my parents' divorce. Lost all desire to get out of bed and exercise, sheltered myself in my room and played vidya at every waking moment. Still do today. Vidya became my coping method since then so it's under control now, but if I get really sad then the symptoms come right back. Loss of appetite, feelings physically sick for no reason, and losing all desire to do anything. All of my emotions have been dampened so i'm at a constant monotone state and any major events (good or bad) have much less effect than they should.

>>34612630

How does this happen? How can you have people who love you and still want to die?

>>34605825
I'm sorry, i'm memeing a bit. I'm just a sadboy that wants to be a kid forever. But there are people out there suffering from real depression. Not self diagnosed bullshit, but acutal sickness. And no one bothers to really help them, just pump their brains full of prozac.

>>34605825
hey guys. i've been depressed for about 3,5 years. i feel really different now, it's not over, but i now see thing really more in perspective, and i feel i'm getting more in control. i wanna be honest, i feel somehow like i was fine, to be then broken and now a whole again even thoug a whole made out of pices (i think i'll be forever damaged in some way, but also wiser) but wounds are different from scars, and i think i'll make it. you're gonna make it brother.

>>34612445
I know how that feels. Even this thread is full of them.

>>34605825
I don't know that I'm actually depressed in the clinical sense, but I was definitely having a lot of suicidal thoughts before I started taking antidepressants.

>>34613440
Do they really help? I would have started taking them, but I feel like nothing can fix how defective I am.

>>34613529
I mean I'm still pretty defective, but at least I don't fantasize about hanging myself several times an hour.

>>34613548
>hanging myself several times an hour
Holy shit, thats pretty fucking often. I would probably do the same in your situation

>>34605825

No I've been diagnosed with literal clinical depression. I'm pretty for sure it's been this way for my whole life too.

Depression isn't sadness, depression is when your body and brain chemistry prevents you from even feeling happiness in the first place, even when you're supposed too. It saps all your will power and motivation away with it.

>>34613702
I mean I fantasized several times an hour about hanging myself, not that I fantasized about hanging myself and then hanging myself again less than an hour later. Just in case that was unclear.

>>34613825
Nah,I got what you meant. I just fucked up the quote.

>>34613849
okay cool
definitely get some antidepressants if you're feeling depressed or suicidal, though. Fluoxetine was fucking magic for me.

>>34613872
I dunno, I'll look into it. I just feel like its just a temporary solution to a permanent problem.

>>34614049
They'll keep working as long as you keep taking them. That said, getting a therapist might also be a good idea.

They're different people, though, with different personalities. I'd keep trying.

>>34614373
Normies are still normies tho. No matter what they will just keep perpetuating the just world falacy and saying shit like "you need to be more confident", "everyone is special", "how do you expect someone else to love you when you dont love yourself" etc etc

>>34614484
They're not all normies, though. Just keep trying different ones until you find one who seems to get you.

>>34614562

My main problem is no one respects me. Even the first time I meet someone they treat me like shit. I see them be nice to everyone, even other robots, but they act like I'm the scum of the earth.

>>34614899
Are you a normie? If the answer is yes, you fucking deserve it.

>>34614853
Sorry for being hostile, just sick of all the normies in this thread. But if you are suicidal, you are most likely depressed too. No happy person wants to commit suicide.

it's very sad

i knew what mild/moderate depression felt like but i couldn't imagine it getting any worse for me

i don't remember the past 2 years of my life ((agoraphobia ;) ))and i only leave the house for doctors appointments

can't eat can't sleep can't concentrate can't get up can't talk to anyone can't remember if i've taken medication
