I can relate to your feel. I have an exam on Thursday and an assignment I have no idea about due Wednesday. Tomorrow (Tuesday) I'll probably just fuck around and procrastinate.

The past year or so I just haven't been able to focus on anything. You know when you're reading a book and you realize you haven't been paying attention to the page you just read? It's like that for everything. Even writing this post takes a fair bit of effort. I just can't find meaning in anything anymore.

Good luck on your exam though, if you don't study and expect the worse then you can only be surprised when you do well

I've just got an interview next Tuesday for a summer internship. Looks like there're only me and another girl for candidates.

I'm feeling kinda conflicted because I plan to kill myself this coming holiday so I'll just ruin it for everyone if I actually got a spot and kms.

Then again it's not like I can just sit around until I actually die so I'll still have to put up with shit like this.

I guess I'll do the interview properly. If I actually kms, I wouldn't be around to feel guilty about it anyway.

I'm not that anon, but there is no help for it. There is -nothing- you can do.

I've been living with these symptoms since I was 13. Parents ran me in and out of doctors, therapists, on medication through a chunk of high school. None of it worked.

I can't sleep, I can't think, I can barely feel. I'm always tired and burnt out, it's extremely difficult to focus on anything for any amount of time, but there is literally nothing you can do about it. I'm 25 now, and forcing myself forward. I've started university and I'm halfway through and every day I have a half dozen little emotional crises. Stress is at a maximum, but there isn't anything else to do but keep going forward. I adamantly refuse to die. There is no question things would be easier if I wasn't this way, but that's just not the way things are.

The only end is suicide, but not yet.

To any other suffering anons. While we breathe we fight. I don't hope and I see things as inevitable, but I get a spark of satisfaction from gritting my teeth and refusing to die. Resist resist.

well I've learned to talk to them OK but the problem I've told about remains and introduces autism latency into the conversation which sets of the weirdo detector

but I wouldn't even know how to transition so that I would kiss her 2 days later, I was more perplexed by this part, how can it be so natural and thoughtless (not even meant negatively) for some people that they fluidly go from "hello" to this, this is what really hits me

meanwhile robots do what I do and overanalyze everything

>>35519051
last introduction week I had went well the first day

then I tried the balancing-actions-out-so-she-doesn't-think-I'm-beta thing where I tried to approach / talk / do sth with her only so often, expecting her to reciprociate in equal measure

didn't work of course, then in the semester I asked her a simple question about the beginning of the courses and she answered weirdly, then later she left without saying bye and that was the extent of my interaction

I just don't get it

Exams went from good to awful but that's okay as people with Fs passed last year anyway.

I feel like shit due to my inability to relate to others so therefore I have hardships to connect with people. I thought this only happened in my other school but it doesn't look like. Maybe it's just me or everyone else in the world is an asshole. Probably the former though.

Not really a pretty thing to watch how others can so easily have fun and socialize. I try my best and some people like me but some just don't.
>>
>>35518965
I don't go to psychiatrists or psychologists. I quit medication and therapy when I was 16 because of all the myriad of medications they put me on none made me feel anything different and the therapists were frankly idiots.

I'm "into" nootropics, but I take L-methyfolate and. I'm not sure it really makes any difference, but it can't fuck you up the way drugs might. I used to take SAM-e as well, but something about that stuff messed with my stomach and I'd always get stomach cramps and end up shitting myself not long after taking it. My body wasn't processing the pills, either, so even if there was some benefit from it I wasn't getting anything.

I also take a non-addictive anti-convulsant as a sleep aid. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't do anything, sometimes it leaves me feeling slightly dreamy through the next day.

This is about the best I've been able to manage over years of dealing with this illness.

26 years old and I've been in college for 6 years now. I should have been done with my degree, but I'm not even close. I hate my accounting degree so much. I thought it would be nice, but its not. Its fucking brutal.

I still have no idea on what I want to do with my life. I just keep on switching back and forth. I feel like I will be a wage cuck forever.

Fucking depression is getting worse. Its so bad that there are days where I don't even want to go to class or even leave my house. I wish I was good with computers, so that I could get some ComSci job and work from home.

I said theanine because l-theanine / caffeine has amazing potential to jack up your concentration skills into saturn's orbit, which is something that might specifically help you

>I don't go to psychiatrists or psychologists. I quit medication and therapy when I was 16 because of all the myriad of medications they put me on none made me feel anything different and the therapists were frankly idiots.

Hence why I said to not rely on them for this kind of issue, I don't think that they've put you on something that might have actually helped, but they just heard yada yada depression yada yada and tried every anti-dep under the sun instead of fixing your concentration skills like you said the main problem was

>L-methylfolate
what do you take it for? this doesn't have much direct effects except when your body is unable to metabolize folate by itself, and can really bring some people out of whack according to many anecdotal reports. The main reason to take it is when you know your folate metabolism is going to be interrupted which happens with many other drugs.

>SAM-e
don't know much about that, but it says 'relieves brain fog' on the tin so yeah

>My body wasn't processing the pills, either

how can you know that

"Jacking concentration skills into orbit" isn't exactly what I want to achieve. That doesn't fix what's wrong with you, it alleviates some of the symptoms associated with this "disease". I don't know much about l-thanine and I might look into it, but juicing yourself with caffeine and other stimulants is not a solution to constant fatigue.

>L-methylfolate
I started taking this on recommendation from my dad. He and my uncle both have similar patterns of mental illness as me suggesting some kind of genetic component. My uncle started taking it and got a good effect from it, so my dad and I figured we would try it as well seeing as we all have dealt with treatment-resistant depression with very similar symptoms for many years.

>SAM-e
It's a building block your body uses to make all kinds of chemicals and neurotransmitters. Supposedly taking supplements of it can help treat symptoms caused by deficiencies in these kinds of things. Also allegedly helps "regulate gut bacteria"

>how can you know that
Because when I inevitably ended up shitting my guts out from this stuff the pill would come with it completely intact. I've never heard of someone experiencing symptoms like I did from it, though. It's supposed to be incredibly benign, but for whatever reason it sure didn't gel with me.

If you study effectively then yes.

Summarise each topic into a mindmap. I usually do that after every lecture and then study one mindmap per day for like 15-30min during the study break. It's been working out well so far.

try being a normie at community college. These people are 24+, married, kids. Going full-time while working full-time. I don't know how they do it. It scares me thinking about it.

classmate told me school from 8am-1pm, then work 1pm-10pm. Had another tell me they worked till 3am. Like when do you clean or buy groceries or sleep.

The latest I've worked on a school day is 8pm because that's when it closes, I work in a service center.

This scares me too. It seems to be just my course that has like only 2 hours of class a day. It's like everyone here is expected to work while studying.

Strange how you posted that picture, as Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is my favorite album.

I'm aware I have some sort of depression, but I can't be bothered to do anything about it. I hate and absolutely do not trust doctors, and the thought of depending on pills to be happy makes me sick. I'm probably being irrational though. Thank you though.
>>35518830
I've been to a handful of therapists and I've noticed that none of them really help, only make you feel good for an hour or two when you leave. I have a feeling of comfort in knowing that at any time I can kill myself. It's nice to know all this can stop and I can finally be at peace if I choose to.

Sorry for the late response.

I'm a sophomore currently. Double majoring in a foreign language and philosophy or literature. Originally went in for STEM but quickly realized how stupid I was/how much I disliked it so I switched to humanities. It kinda compounds the guilt I have but what can ya do.

Fuck. Can someone give me a website or a test or whatever the fuck is necessary to seal it once and for all: how intelligent am I and how much is the dunning-kruger effect responsible for this stupid rationalization of my "superior" intelligence?

Also: everytime I question my intelligence I feel like I'm not as dumb as I think I am, but then again, I don't get the basic cause-effect-relation between not learning and failing.

University is honestly the best time to go and get it. There are lots of resources available on campus.

Once you graduate and have to go into the real world, it'll get harder and harder to become a functioning person. Work on yourself while you can in university.

What major is that, friendo
>>
Philosophy and Math major here, in my junior year. Got a C, B, and another B for Calc 1-3, respectively. Something about having a mix of tons of reading and writing and agonizing calculus just makes me want to crawl in a hole and die. I'm finishing up the requirements for Philosophy this semester; currently procrastinating like a motherfucker. I handed in one paper two days late, so if the professor decides to enforce her late policy, I can only get a maximum of an 80% on it. There's this really cute girl that I've made small talk with in one of my classes. I'm socially awkward as fuck, and I stutter often, and it's fucking crippling even though I don't have it nearly as bad as other robots. I want to eventually ask her out for coffee or some shit, but it's hard to be social these days if you don't have a cell phone (too poor for a plan). I just signed up to a program that is going to get me on track to being a math teacher. My dream was to go for a PhD in philosophy to teach it, even though the field is horrible for job prospects, and you'll end up slaving away as an adjunct for a good deal of time. Oh well, high school teaching can be pretty /comfy/. It's becoming harder and harder for me to concentrate on the readings for school, and even harder to write papers. I used to be able to stay up all night to catch up on stuff, but now my body just shuts down after 2am. This is suffering.

>>35521797
I took Writing for the Humanities as a requirement for my BA. I appreciate literature, as well asmuch of what English fags do, but holy fuck that class was fucking torture. It was basically a test of how well you can frame the liquid bullshit that comes out of your keyboard in a way that sounds smart. Still got an A+, which surprised the ever-living fuck out of me.

>>35524441
Godspeed anon. Dont let your dreams be dreams! Time to fire up the coffee maker (or if you're not a casual, the french press and kettle) and your 15 minute power naps.

welp time to cram tonight and tomorrow
>>
>>35524845

Yeah, that's exactly what English is. In the upper levels when you get to unadulterated critical theories like Marxism it's just a creative writing. But I legitimately can't even write anymore, its actually devolving into freshman tier shit and I can't stop it kek

You could probably get into actuary or data science jobs with that math degree, if you didn't wanna be a teacher (kudos for doing that though, god knows we need more good teachers).

Also same problem with girls; except I don't talk to her, I just look at her and have fantasies of hanging out with her. NOTHING IS GOING RIGHT

I took two tests before I left for break and how I do on them will decide if I drop one of those classes. So you could say my stress is high.

i guess i'm one of the few robots who can become normies when the situation calls for it

college was a blast for me, went to school for music, didn't give a fuck that it was a dumb major, it was fun as hell and it made getting girls easier.

got laid on my second day of freshman year, fairly steady amount of pussy for the rest of college.

now i'm 25 and my life is all over the place but its fine. i had a salaried job for a while but ended up getting hospitalized (psych ward) and had to quit. now i'm trying to pick up the pieces, but that's life. it can definitely get better but at the same time i really want to kill myself so i can be forever young. the grind is boring as fuck and repetitive.

it was in a completely unrelated field: technical recruiting. my friend was working at the company and referred me for an interview.

honestly don't give a fuck about what they say. it all comes down to what you make of it. if you lie to yourself and take a STEM major you'll be miserable and probably end up giving up on it.

music school CAN make you a better musician, depends on if the program is shit or not (good teachers that can actually play well). join a band, go on tour, have the time of your life, get girls to come up to you and say how good you are. it might not always pay but its very rewarding ego wise.

Threads like this are a perfect example of why college is absolutely NOT for everyone. It's as if you were not thinking at all when you decided what school to go to and what to study. That being said, just go through with it. No matter if you hate your classes, keep in mind that once you've completed it you'll realistically never see the material again. I love what I do and I'm working on a PhD in it but I do remember how much I would dread classes not related to my major, like English comp. I dropped it 3 times, finally decided to take it as an accelerated 3 week course over the winter and made an A. Good luck everyone
