Are video games a hobby? Or a means of escapism from depression?

>>384240809
Both, normies play them one or two hours every once in a while and then get back to something else while the rest of us immerse ourselves in them

The latter is the definition of the former

They can be both.

>>384240809
depression is a meme used by kids and edgy teenagers to get attention, i simply saw around 50 classmates a few years ago use it for attention just fuck off with this depression thing it doesn't exist you're being pathetic.

>>384240809
when you are depressed you feel so shitty or numb that even playing videogames feels like an impossible task

>>384240809
The former. Some people (A good portion of this board, for example) subsequently warp it into the latter.

i play video games to forget that i'm alive

>>384240809
you're not depressed.

>>384240809

Its a shitty hobby you waste time on.

Thats why i found a new hobby:
I paint the nails of my girlfriend and mine too.
Its fun, it takes skill and patience and you get wonderful results in the end.

Also my gf likes it

>>384240923
>don't listen to those psychiatrists, I saw some people who were faking it therefore I know better

>>384240923
I had a friend who claimed she was bipolar, when really she was just being edgy for the fun of it

don't take away from the fact that she broke my finger by twisting it once though, the dick

If you are actually depressed you're depressed even doing things you like.

My buddy has actual, clinical depression and it makes me angry when people call themselves depressed when they feel sad for a few days.

>>384241009
you sound like a cuck

>>384241019
> psychiatrists

that's fine anon, if you want to keep being sad on purpose for attention be my guess, sit there in your fucking chair and remain a virgin without being proactive in life and die.

The only thing making you "depressed" or sad per say is you and your pathetic mindset. Grow up.

Elaborate. Because escapism tends to be bad and imply that it is not constructive in any way while some hobbies are very constructive. Reading, for example, or learning a new language. Painting, drawing, sculpting and such are more questionably constructive, but they at least have the possibility of adding something positive to the world if you get good enough at them.

I myself would like to become a toy maker, so I sculpt a bit in my free time. That's a hobby. I would consider video games just a time waster. Though some people consider that to be the only thing that matters in a hobby.

>>384241154
Honestly depression has become a meme, especially on the internet. Every single young adult and teenager claims to have depression and makes ironic posts about how the only way they can cope with their depression is ironic meming.

Just how often has that pic of the guy squatting on his desk with "I have anxiety" on his screen been reposted? It is literally hip to be depressed.

i'm not trolling whatsoever, i care not for (you)s, i'm glad i'm waking people up about their meme disease. and the meds are placebos to try and make you feel like you're changing.

1. Go to a shrink
2. Get a diagnosis and help

>it's not real, again grow up.
It's not related to age or maturity, depression can happen even after you hit your 30s and happens to people who others would consider succesful like actors and artists, the more you try to sound mature, the more your underage shows, try hard autistic retard.

We don't really understand a lot of brain stuff yet. My ex was prescribed nearly every drug in the book and was in the mental hospital for months and was barely any better when she got out. They tried changing her drugs again to actually fix her, but it made her ten times worse and she had to spend nearly another year in the hospital. That's when we broke up.

>>384241646
You're retarded.
You're mixing attention-seeking behavior with those who suffer an actual depression illness, presuming that they're the same, and advising people with an illness to just "fix it" without treatment.

Depression is a real thing, it's a hormonal imbalance your body cant fix on its own

However the VAST majority of people who claim to have it dont and just want an excuse to be a failure

What people? It's not hard to find underage edgy retards who would claim anything to seem intelligent even without any knowledge or proof, if you are desperate for the approval of those people pretty much explains why you are attention whoring so hard.

Meds for depression don't work anything like placebos, they affect and change the brain's chemistry directly and they just don't magically make you feel better, there are side effects as well.

Syaing "It's just a chemical imbalance" is like saying "A car runs on explosions" and then wondering why stuffing your gas tank full of TNT doesn't work.

>>384243228
Fortunately, I own guns, so her doctor called me once or twice to emphasize they were secured, so I had enough of a relationship with the doctor that I could ask her advice. We were only seeing each other like once a week at that point and she had legit BPD so she was pretty much a different person at that point. It wasn't too difficult, but honestly, neither of us really wanted to end it, but we both knew it was for the best.

It did help me realize that I'm the kind of person that doesn't really want a relationship though, since that few months when I only had to see her once a week was my favorite time in retrospect since I got all the perks but didn't actually have to deal with another person most of the time.

As excuses for what? Depressed people can have a job and even appear succesful from the outside, yet feel miserable and want to end it all regardless of their achievments, there is no reason to admit depression doesn't exist and it's some meme other than plain ignorance or insecurity.

Well. Good, because during my 3 years of actual clinical depression i hardly let anyone but my professional therapist know about it, none of my friends ever knew about it either and i would like to keep it that way.

But go ahead, please keep pretending how a fucking underage shitstain knows EVERYTHING about the world, lmao.

Nigger, I used to be depressed until I found out the cause of it. Think on what is causing you to be depressed and fixing it makes you feel like you're on top of the world. It might not fully get rid of your depression like me, but it's way better than staying in a shittier state.

The number way to do this is to push yourself to change it even though it feels like that you're trapped in limbo. The only person that could help you is yourself.

I believe in you, anons.

Sad honestly considering how often it's happened.
Right now it's only really escapism as you say for me at least.

if you have a chemical imbalance it doesnt just go away after 3 years you idiot.

>>384241095
lol fucking loser. Enjoy fapping at home today, not having a job.

Video games don't require you to produce anything, so it's as much a hobby as consuming television, film, and music. It's not like playing an instrument or creating art; unless you're in the top 2% of players that are so good that watching you is a form of entertainment for others.

i have a job it's just my day off today because i can choose when i want time off, as with any good job. You probably haven't experienced such freedom and career progression before.

He said it happened during his teen years and puberty essentially IS a few years of chemical imbalance. Totally plausible to me.

Had my dad and gpa die within 5 months of one another. had my cousin kill herself. had my ex cheat on me. had other things hapen. felt like a bum, became super introverted, felt sorry for myself.

feels better to work and find a job you enjoy. way better off now. any shit lord who is memeing that depression isn't real, grow the fuck up. you'll be forced to anyway. fact.

>>384246909
Heh, this was pretty good

good god, that was amazing, did you write it?

>>384246974
you don't have to be good at video games for it to be entertaining

>>384247231
No, I fucking wish I had creativity like that.
I just found it when brought the game.

>>384247302

For it to be entertaining to others, I think so; unless you have an entertaining personality or tits. If you're playing for yourself then it's consumption and not a hobby.

low seratonin levels can be a result of changing hormones, like a lot of things but you cant say you have clinical depression because of it. doctors hand out maois like candy and everyone thinks they are bipolar because they cant handle basic levels of stress. it's just as insufferable as people who try to tell you depression and anxiety dont exist.

>nonironically thought people before the 20th century didn't kill themselves
Never said that. I said people back then didn't kill themselves due to being """depressed""", but killed themselves due to a different reason. Learn to read, nigger.

Chemical imbalance can happen for lots of different reasons, going from bad habits to shitty genetics. In several cases, with the help of medication and a change of habits, you certainly can achieve a change if you work hard and are consistent with those changes, eventually your brain chemistry will be more balanced thanks to those changes without the need for meds and the bad thoughts will simply have little to no impact on you anymore, no one really said anything about shit just going away but you, so stop being a spastic retard and learn to fucking read.

anon you said it yourself, you need to grow up. if you really think depression isn't real, good luck later on in life whenever you encounter someone with it. loser. I can also 100% promise you that my job is better. ;)

What are you, gay?

>>384247589
the only way you can have an actual seratonin imbalance is if you ruin your levels with drugs or have a clinical depression problem to begin with. saying "in my 3 years of" implies that there was a period of time that he was depressed, implying that it was n o t an inherent issue. if you can cure it by making changes in your life, then it was only a temporary deficiency. you dont just take the meds and fix your levels, you have to take the meds because you cant do it without the meds.

I get panic attacks every night I tty to sleep. It's the constant fear of death. I am afraid to just vanish into nothingness one day, and religion doesn't help either because even if religion is right and you live in paradise one day, the thought of living forever and ever and ever is just as frightening to me. And as I get older the fear grows year after year. I hot nervous ticks, I can't concentrate, I don't find anything enjoyable or interesting anymore but i'm too afraid to kill myself

i really feel for you, dawg. Good luck with that mindset with the future people you meet.

>>384248393
i agree with the quote, i just don't like that the second mention of the word "happy" is emphasized, i feel like the second mention of "you" should be emphasized

>>384247979
No, I mostly make accessories and dioramas for tiny robot girls.

>>384245231
Such bullshit.

Everyone has to acclimate to the bullshit of day to day life, which means 8 hours of boring shit work every day and you can't escape it.

I just want to be left alone.

>I AM SO LE DEPRESSED

>>384247865
when you have to say your job is better i already know it isn't xD you'll probably kill yourself in a few years due to you faking your faggot feelings. Pathetic

>>384248176
What you eat, how much you sleep, what you do or what you don't, all these can affect your brain chemistry and make any symptoms of depression far worse, a change of habits can permanently affect how the brain reacts to stuff like bad thoughts, which makes all the difference, the meds helped to deal with depression while it was far more intense but those never were the whole therapy. While i do sitll get to think bad shit once in a while, it hardly affects me like before or causes the ammount of pain or concern it used to do like 3 years ago when i still was under medication, depression, as i knew it, it's gone.
