Well, I mean, a robot can dream, anyways.

A cyborg can dream

I can never tell anyone.

Not a soul must know, if I can't adapt on my own then I should burn up, better than to let others in and try to impose themselves.

>>36541177
This.

Was thinking of using the term cyborg on here, not quite a full robot but definitely not a normie, definitely autistic and alienated.

>friend walks away and never talks to me again

Mental illness doesn't just come out of nowhere, you know. No one chooses to be mentally ill. It's a consequence of your environment.

That's why I emphasize with people who snap and go on rampages.

Tell people you have a mental illness only if

-You already have it sorted out, i.e. taking pills, going to psychological treatment
-You need help and you're going to ask your friend specifically for help, i.e. it's dangerous and you think you a danger to yourself or to others

Any other circumstance is just going to make them feel bad about you and drift away

Telling some guy I have depression.
>"I've been there mate, I've been there, I know what it's like. You're a young man mate, you have your whole life in front of you. You should exercise, oh and are you going to the bar? Mine's a pint of Stella and a packet of salted peanuts. Champion mate."

Told my own sweet mother about these issues. She ignored them and was surprised when I tried to kill myself.

pro-tip: nobody actually cares, not even the people who are are supposed to give a shit about you. You're on your own.

Good lord this is so deliciously aulstralian

>start to blame myself for being a shitty ass friend
>incredibly lonely at school
>sink into depression again
>get real help from a proper physc
>finally get life back on track
8 months on I'm no longer seeing a pyshc and i know how to deal with my problems healthily, and have had an objectively attractive and genuinely funny gf that excepts me for who i am.I know its terrifying as fuck lads but go see a doctor and talk to them and eventually it will get better

>>36541433
The friend that I told cares but suddenly lost ability to communicate normally with me. Such is life.

>>36541916
i dont want to be put in hospital but i really need help

what do

>>36541433
>pro-tip: nobody actually cares, not even the people who are are supposed to give a shit about you. You're on your own.

This, so much. It's natural for people to drift away from the mentally ill.

>why do you look so sad anon
>nah, im not, just thinking to myself

I really wish I could talk to someone but nothing ever comes out the way I want it

>>36541376
Oh my god it's empathise you retard, kill yourself

I'm kidding, sorry

Yeah, I never really thought it was a thing OP.

>see best friend started cutting himself
>"I want to die, anon"
>advise him on safe self harm (don't do it myself), and be there for him to talk to, but otherwise we just chill out
>everyone else he told (mother, his other best friend) freaked the fuck out, cloying and patronising
>tells me I was the only friend to make him still feel normal, and what kept him going

fast forward a bit, I've started a course in another country, running out of money and deadlines building

>stressing the fuck out
>binge eating on food that I can't afford
>message him that i'm sick of my lack of self control and I'm going to make myself throw up
>I mean we've been through a lot together, and we're really open so I don't even give a second thought to if he'll be accepting
>"Don't do that anon. I'm so disappointed in you"
>I'm talking about why
>"anon I don't want to talk to you right now" and goes offline
>I'm dumbstruck that he's the only person I reached out to and got a complete rejection, to be left on my own to deal with it
>contact him later asking if he's over it (passive aggressive AF I know)
>"yeah I guess, but don't talk to me about that stuff again"

I mean, I can't wrap my head around it. I always thought of myself as lower than average on the empathy scale, and I understand that people who don't know you well wouldn't care about your well-being (I know I don't).
But to reject somebody who's put trust in and is reaching out to you, and ONLY you in a moment of weakness is fucking. Man I can't understand it.

>didn't tell any friends about mental illness
>Smoke weed at a party
>Triggers black out panic attack(smoked many times before, this was just unlucky), only remember parts of the episode, like when I started screaming that I was gonna call 911
>friend is very nice, even drives me home and comforts me
>Explain my mental illness to him and a few other friends, they act like they understand but I don't think they do
>Feel like people think I am mentally unstable/weak
>Every time I see my friend who was there or anyone else at that party I feel ashamed
>Stopped going out that much after episode, don't even hang out with friends who knew nothing about it
>Retreat back into my robot ways, get heavily into wizchan, spiral continually downward
>My charisma, confidence, social circles are all pretty much gone
>It's all my fault
Still havent an heroed though, not yet. I am getting a job, so I won't be a neet, and I will have money to sedate myself with weed and alcohol, maybe even fuck a whore. Still have a lot of wretched horrible living to do.
