Go see a doctor anon, you probably have clinical depression. Your brain's chemistry is ojt of whack and you can get meds to fix it.

>>382835420
Maybe you should spend more time in a mental institution instead of playing games.

Every fucking time. Chasing nostalgia just isn't cutting it anymore because I start thinking too much. I don't understand how my roomates spend 10+ hours a fucking day all playing FFXIV.

>>382834958
You're basically fearing having nothing to do because that means your brain starts to work and you're thinking about dark things everytime that happens.
Yup, it's depression.
Just seek medical attention or do what most humans do, drink alcohol / smoke weed or do even harder drugs, but I wouldn't recommend.

Playing an mmo isn't chasing nostalgia because there's always new content

>>382837478
Chasing nostalgia as in enjoying the thrill of new games or old games that have a special place in my heart. The game itself is kind of boring, in my opinion. It's like a carnival simulator.

>>382837291
>drink alcohol / smoke weed or do even harder drugs
Tried these. I get pissed because it messes with my motor functions and I can't draw or study in the drugged state at all, but I get an overwhelming desire to do so. Can't even play video games when I'm high because my skills just go to shit. I wish I could sleep for days on end.

Mindlessly browse /v/, or other boards on your phone, or twitter, even reddit, if you have one.

Getting real tired of the jaded, cynical attitude that a lot of people adopted this decade. Muh existential dread, muh life has no meaning, muh nothing is enjoyable anymore, bla bla bla. Oh and the constant shame people seem to have when they actually do enjoy something, they just HAVE to let you know that they're enjoying it ironically.

I can't wait for this shit fad to be over. It really didn't use to be like this. Snap out of it already, you snarky ass filthyfrank-watching shitbags.

Man I used to have friends unlike 90% of you autists but depression runs thick through my family and once I hit mid high school it hit me like a ton of bricks and has just been getting worse, don't have any desire to talk to anyone like I used to, don't feel hungry ever, months disappear before my eyes etc.

I know this is obvious b8 but seriously anons this shit ain't no joke, I wouldn't wish this on anyone

>>382843067
How old are you?

I hate my life and existence and all that but I would honestly not care as long as I had a consistent income without actually working. I've been NEET for like two years now and it's constantly like a Sunday evening, sure you're not working but the stress of some looming peril is constantly hanging over you. If I had actual money coming in I would be fine to be alone 100% of the time and waste my entire pointless existence on bad video games.

How the fuck do I get money without doing anything, other than the lottery?

I honestly can't remember a single thing about being 18 or 19, depression really fucks with your memory because it dulls your emotions out, if that makes sense. So I can barely recall the past four years of my life because I have no emotional connection to any of my memories

It's hormones and mentality. I was like that while I was 16-20. I'm 25 now, and I laugh at how immature I was and how I used to interpret things. I'm still immature, but I look only positively at the past now and keep my sights on the future. You will get past it if you keep on trudging along and overcoming things that intimidate you head-on rather than beat around the bush and get "depressed" about them.

Because they're not depressed nutcases, and they don't feel a consistent need to be productive.

When I have a test that I desperately need to learn for then I study hard and don't play games for a few months, but when I have time off I could easily play games for 8-10 hours a day, because it's what I find enjoyable.

Honestly if you don't enjoy video games I'd much prefer that you stopped coming here and went to r9k or /b/ to talk about your "feels" instead.

Of course it's not fucking productive, you moron. Nobody thinks it is. Is that some kind of revelation to you?

The secret is that not everything in life needs to be productive. If you have sufficient resources to support yourself then you can do whatever the fuck you want with your spare time. Most people opt to enjoy themselves. We only get a small period of time to be alive - why not have fun instead of moping around and worrying about being productive?

Fuck you. If you want friends go make them. If you want a job go get one. A second ago you were whining like a little bitch that you don't have a job and now you're whining even more that a job would be boring.

Guess what, pussy? Sometimes you have to do things that are boring. The vast majority of adults have jobs, and they don't have depression. Sitting around all day on your ass not interacting with anyone is what has turned you into such a sad sack of shit.

How about you get off your ass and go do something to make your life better instead of whinging on an anonymous message board? You know why you don't have any friends? Because you're a loser who complains about everything and spends every waking second pitying himself rather than striving for self improvement.

Don't write that anywhere in the post, but the fact that you need to respond with some shitty meme strawman shows how pathetic you really are. You'd rather just filter out any criticism or advice and then just go back to putting yourself.

I run two TVs side by side, one plays the game and the other porn. That way I can just watch the porn when I get annoyed by loading et. My girlfriend is still under the impression I use the other one to look at work related things online I need to monitor, it adds to the excitement.

I guess its anxiety. Its literally the only time I actually feel like I'm inferior to the other person.

It doesnt help that everytime I set myself to practice and get better I usually lose interest pretty fast.

Play RTS games with no downtime.

That doesn't sound very fun OP but you clearly have to make some changes in your life if you have invasive depressive thoughts any time you're left to think. Either change what you dislike about yourself, learn to accept who you are and not give a shit, or an hero. Just remember that you're not the only one that feels that way, I guarantee you can find someone to talk to and it really does help
