That's kind of true. I'm currently on vacation from work. The first three days playing vydia and reading manga were pretty nice, but now I'm feeling really lonely and useless. I guess having no friends nor gf is somewhat related.

>>386115581
kek reddo spotted
it has nothing to do with jews and everything to do with greed, companies don't have to pay under 18s minimum wage they can pay them less, so in entry level positions they won't hire anyone 18 or over because they can always hire 16 year olds

There's massive youth unemployment because of this practice which is going unreported because government agencies file somebody as having applied for a job, regardless of the answer, as employed for the next 12 months

There is none.

Hope and happiness are chrysalis, to be discarded when you start realizing you are here to suffer and cause suffering, despair and bring despair, hurt and be hurt.

There is no hope. There is no heaven. We are all going to hell. Embrace the hate, and may the hate embrace you.

None. Video Games are simply pressing buttons according to digital prompts programmed by other people. When you're looking expecting such passive pastime to "cure your boredom/depression," it shows you have nothing fulfilling going on in your life.

Get a creative hobby or get a new occupation. Stop staring at a screen for hours expecting to feel better.

How to fix

>>386115085
The most a Job will do is distract you.

Then you will wake up one day and realize its all a fucking joke. You hate your job, but do it to pay the bills. You're 30 now. Health issues are starting to occur. That sore knee you've had since highschool football? Turns out to be nerve damage. Oh and you have high cholesterol now too. You saved all your money to go see the world? Visit Japan? Boom. Asshole drunk driver wrecks your car. Boom. Your Grandma has to have long term care. Guess who cosigned your stoner cousins loan? Now you have no savings. So much for seeing the world. Oh well, atleast you still have your girlfriend. Oh wait, she left for someone richer/smarter/prettier than you. You're not emotionally available because you work so much, and she wants to act like a 20-something year old slut still.

Dont worry though, vidya has your back. it always has your back. Wait. No. You're tired all the fucking time now. You work. You sleep. Why cook for yourself? Just get the fast food that is slowly killing you. All those cool vidya you used to love are skinnerbox F2P2W garbage. Can't devote 80 hours a week? Just spend another 80 dollars and you too can play on equal footing to some 18 year old fuccboi living in their Parents basement.

So do what you should of done 5 years ago. Buy a fucking gun.

>>386115731
Getting in a relationship while you're depressed (I mean really depressed, not that "meh I'm kinda sad" shit) is irresponsible. It's not up to other people to cure your mental illness, unless they're your doctor.

Not really. I've seen single since 14/15 and while I've done my share of flirting and shenanigans since I'm perfectly okay without having a girlfriend or wife. Last thing someone needs to do is try to date someone to fix their depression since being in a relationship is fucking crushing at times and personally, not worth the effort.

>>386115046
Your pic isn't depression. It's realising you're a worthless self-hating sack of shit.

Get a hobby, enjoy that hobby, talk to people who enjoy that hobby.

And no, not videogames. Videogames is full of fucking cretins. Just any other hobby. Woodworking, fishing, arts n crafts, something that gives you a reason to meet up with others.

You see their lives are still boring and full of drama that you will never care about, but they don't talk about that, they talk about the hobby. I got into digital art, dicked around on various hobbies, and since I dedicated myself to some degree, ended getting headhunted into some closed forums that are a lot of fun.

>Oh wait, she left for someone richer/smarter/prettier than you.

>not being maximally smart and rich and attractive
get on my level, pleb

the real redpill, though, is that even that won't save you from depression. people from all walks of life struggle with emptiness and meaninglessness. it's not unique to any one set of circumstances. rich motherfuckers who have it all kill themselves all the time, meanwhile starving mothers in Somalia who objectively have more difficult and less pleasant lives can be very satisfied with their lot in life.

it's not as though you pass a certain threshold for "quality of life" and then depression isn't a problem any more. it's basically a mental illness, but even that doesn't really sum it up. it's really more like a point of view, and arguably a valid one at that.

my only point is: it's all outlook. it's all mental. unless your circumstances involve something along the lines of daily physical torture and constant sleep deprivation or something, I can more or less guarantee that somewhere on the earth is a person in worse material circumstances than you are, who is also happier than you are. don't fool yourself into thinking something like "I just need X amount of money and then I'll be happy", or "I just need gf and then I'll be happy." those are both targeting symptoms of depression, but they'll never cure depression.

There's no way to fix this. If you try to apply but can't get to the interview or can't seal the deal at the interview it's impossible to land a real job. You can pay people to fake a resume but you can't fake personal skills.

>>386116806
Wow holy shit, yes dude. Not being an unemployed faggot 100% helps you not be as depressed. Depression isn't a real "thing" it's just some fucked up chemical imbalances in your brain as a result of your circumstances and behaviors.

At the moment if you can survive without a full time job it means you have a safety net, and that doesn't last forever. One day you're going to have to work, you better get used to it when you're young. The later you start the worse it is. And yeah it sucks at first, but you suck it up and then suddenly you realize the feeling of freedom and independence you have once you have expendable income that's entirely your own.

If it's legit clinical depression? Talk to a doctor and have them prescribe you something. No matter what people will try to tell you, you might be sick and there's nothing wrong with taking medicine to get better when you are sick.

If you\re just feeling burned out and in a slump, take a look at shit around you and, slowly, pull yourself out of whatever is keeping you in a rut. You can't do it in a day, but if you take things step by step, it'll work.

Yes dude because gays are 100% going to openly chit chat about their multi-thousand dollar anal repair surgeries, especially on TV which is the only context in which people ever see gays (since they are less than 2% of the population)

You don't know any 45 year old gay men, or am I wrong about that?

oh look it's a thread full of normies pretending they are depressed when really they are just sad. normies like you fags have ruined mental disorders being taken seriously

>>386117583
I'm using extreme language because it's 4chan

Your asshole doesn't literally collapse but you have much higher likelihood of developing incontinence which can be corrected through surgery

There are also a lot of other unpleasant somewhat unspoken aspects of the gay lifestyle like the lack of monogamous relationships and the bug chasing community

Even as a barely active NEET I eventually feel the effects of that. Don't feel it until the hunger shakes kick in and you have to shamble towards the kitchen and nibble anything immediately edible. How the hell do you manage to work and do it?

>>386117256

vidyas don't cure depression. some vidyas are fun, some are time sinks. videogames as a copying mechanism are dangerous, since they stimulate the pleasure parts of the brain, thus becoming really addictive. pleasure, ironically, becomes really "pleasurable" if you feel like it's deserved.
they're a form of escapism, which isn't inherently bad if done in moderation, but can ultimately do more harm than good if they overlap your real life. if you have depression, look for answers inside you rather than outside.

You seem like a person that interacted (Or only heard/read about) only with some flamboyant faggots instead of normal people.

I work in a Hotel as a manager of front desk, the manager of sales is about 40 and is gay, he doesn't act gay, you wouldn't even be able to tell if he doesn't tell you, same with our FB manager.

You DO know that there are gays other than what you see on Tumblr or in America right?

So start getting your higher education and stop sitting around doing nothing about it. There's no excuses, you can go to college at literally any age and start working toward a career you can be proud of.

Nowadays my self confidence tanked because to quote him "No one wants broken goods these days, especially ones of your 'quality'" or something along those lines. I can atleast keep my darker thoughts in check but even when with my partner i didn't feel fixed.

>>386117894
Where in that post did I mention anything about gays acting like flamboyant faggots?

Their personality has little to do with the lifestyle they've chosen. Also, I don't care about places that are outside of the US because they don't matter, you live in some shitty nothing country that doesn't matter and that nobody cares about, so stop acting like anyone should.

to the materialistic, shallow individuals who come here and say: "you need this to be happy!", "no, you need THAT!", you don't need anything to be happy. pleasure is not satisfaction and they are not happiness, which isn't even the opposite of depression. growing up you realize there's no path to happiness. live your life and experience it

believe it or not there are multiple kinds of gay men out there. on average in my experience they're much less subject to mood swings than the average female

t. 22 and dated multiple females and males.

>>386117815
yeah you "explained it" with a post that doesn't cite any source whatsoever as to your claim that anal sex causes incontinence to the point that it requires surgery. although you seem to imply elsewhere that all gays are actually keeping this fact a secret, so I guess it wouldn't be possible for you to get a citation anyway.

Been drinking for 12 years. It catches up with you. If you find yourself drinking before work or before going outside or in the morning to deal with hangovers from the night before then stop.

Now my anxiety is much worse than ever before if I don't drink. I spend some days just waiting for a time to drink and get sweaty palms and weird thoughts popping into my head. It's ironic because the reason I started drinking was because of anxiety and all it's done in the long run is make it worse.

Alcohol creeps up on you.

Most women lie about having mental illnesses anyway. Just look up social anxiety on YouTube, bunch of women able to say their feelings freely and clearly pretending they have a disorder. Someone with social anxiety wouldn't even have the courage to post a YouTube video of themselves.

If you weren't able to find a job after college then you didn't network enough during college. You failed at the primary objective of college.

Just do what I'm doing and join the military. If you can't make yourself change your life style, sign a contract and have people force you to while you get paid. 70% of the people I meet in the military are happy and in shape with a wife and kids and have seen the world. Navy that is.

Especially if you're like me and can't financially afford college and understand that most jobs are dead end unless you're going into a serious field with college/military behind you.

>>386117987

Some days I feel my depression come back and sometimes I am 100% happy top of the world. Today was the last time I saw the Italian exchange students I knew, they are going back to Italy on Sunday. I have added them on Facebook but it's sad I won't see them until I go to Europe or they come here and stuff like that puts me into a depressed feeling as we became really good friends.

No, curing a mental illness isn't that easy. But the thing is, you're not going to get better by doing nothing.

You will never be promoted out of it either

>>386119234
seriously try writing about it.

it's anxiety, and anxiety is your survival instincs trying to figure something out. The reason it keeps popping up, is because your primal lizard brain sees something in that memory, that it doesnt understand. There's something there that you havent figured out, something about that situation. to put it as short as possible: how to avoid it in the future. It may be an irrational overreaction, but that doesnt change anything - you just have to figure out, what it is about that memory has to teach you.

It keeps popping up, because your lizard brain is irrationally scared to death, that if /that thing/ happened again, you would die. Overcoming that is as simple as figuring out what it is about it that scares you, and having a plan of action that would solve it, if you were ever in that situation again.

Not that you ever will, of course. feelings are just stupid.

writing about it is a good way to get going. it really gets the neurons firing

I think getting a job won't fix it unless it's something like healthcare or curing cancer or creating something, basically where you can feel you're actively improving the world.

Most jobs will do nothing because while you might be proud of your achievements at first, you'll soon feel like you're just doing it for yourself and if worthless, selfish leeches like you didn't exist, your position probably wouldn't be needed either. Exercising is similar. You'll feel a bit better and prouder but you're still just doing it for your own gain.

Not sure how to solve this if you've got no creative drive/skills and lack ambition. Thinking about some kind of volunteering, but don't really have any other skills and don't really have the time either.

Sounds like you got shit therapists /v/. Look into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Shit works

CBT has been proven to help. If you go to any therapy groups CBT will be a pick part of it. Maybe not in America where mental illness is treated as a joke. First and only therapists I got was perfect. She called me out on my bullshit and had no problem arguing with me. CBT works for depression/social anxiety/ocd (what I had). Is everything perfect and gone? No, but sure as hell is better than before. Also I'm in Canada and didn't have to pay for therapy.

Me and most people in the groups I've been in who actually put effort into getting better. Therapists are really great, You are probably that guy who goes to therapy and doesn't actually try to get better. Just there to whine and get sympathy and tell stories. Eat shit and work on yourself bitches.

>making assumptions
There are multiple aspects to depression, both genetic and environmental. Shit conducive to making you feel more helpless and directionless will generally result in depression in people predisposed to it. Shit that takes away those negative feelings will, for many people, render the depression dormant. That doesn't mean they're magically cured forever, but it can prevent it from dictating their entire lives.

here's my magical recipe to cure depression:
step 1- stop playing godawful e-sports bullshit
step 2- stop wanking to that unhealthy fetish you fucking sickfuck
step 3- stop watching long series of anime and tv shows that suck you into their false magical disneyland world
step 4- try to be at ease when you're doing nothing (like, absolutely nothing, not even vidya) - some may call this meditation or jewish holiday but if you feel like youre wasting time when you let loose the strain you'll get cancer, im serious.
step 5- realize that your failed ambitions were just memes. No job or a lover will make you feel that good in the long run. if you make a lot of money people will behave nice for the sole reason that they can leech you. if the rich or glam lovey-dovey life were that good why do those people have so many drug/alcohol overdose and suicide incidents?
step 6- dont feel lonely, ffs we live in the age of communication, you can pretty much shitpost anywhere on the internet and get a response. internet is no longer a virtual world, and people near where you live are worse than internet trolls because of their envious nature of your neet ways, so don't bother listening to their bullshit.

and perhaps most importantly
step 7- accept death. if you know you're going to die anyways perhaps you can stop worrying about the future, suiciding or health issues you'll get over time. just spend time on things you like, not just vidya, maybe making some simple arduino gadgets or even something as stupid as creating a handfart orchestra. you will know you'll have ONLY failed your life if you regret the half-hearted way of living while thinking in your deathbed.

I've gotten a job, got out of the house more. Try new things, see new people.
Nothing. I push myself through work and I feel worse than I did before, my job leaves me tired and even unhappier than before I had it. Weekends are going out with friends or what the fuck ever, hoping something forces the hangs to stop so I can just go to fucking sleep.
After two attempts foiled by a fuck up and then getting discovered, I pulled myself up and figured I'd give it a proper go. If you're ready to end things you're ready to just start from scratch, right? Just get out there, you're the only one causing your unhappiness
I'm unemployed now because of fallout from attempt #3 and my legs are fucked and all I want is to not even be happy at this point why is neutral too much to ask for

It's not so bad if it's something you enjoy doing. If you think about it, even the people who do jobs that seem useless at first glance can make a little bit of a difference here and there.

It would be an assumption if I were implying that this would work for a specific person. It is generally accepted as fact that depression can often function and, in part, be treated in the manner that I described.

Unless you want to take the incredibly pedantic stance that those "facts" are technically peer-reviewed assumptions based on a wealth of data, I suppose. Still a tad different from assuming that everyone with a different experience or belief than yourself can't suffer from depression.

Which you are. Because your advice is pretty much meaningless. You can't address more than mild depression by simply getting a job.

Man, fuck that, a job with a supportive work group is 10x better than a job where you feel 'fulfilled'

Nicest, best place I ever worked was a debt trading company, you'd take turns during the week being the guy that got the sob stories about lives being ruined and unlike what people tell you it does not get to you after a while, variety of personalities in my office, no one bothered or haunted by it, because we had a great boss, good profits, and mutual support.

Evil jobs are sometimes the fucking best.

Look for jobs that don't have to worry about 'inventory', where numbers only go in one direction, those tend to have the best environments.

hot tip friend
It's a test. Never, ever believe anyone who says they arent looking for a relationship.

all women say that. Every single one, even if theyre head over heels in love with you. some of them probably believe it, but I'm no mindreader, and wether they do actually doesnt matter. What matters is this: they also want you to change their mind. They want you to say "well, I want you, I'll prove myself to you, I'll be such a catch that i'll change your mind."

I'm sorry to break it to you, but that's where you fucked up, and that's also why you cant get over it. best of luck.

I work in a gas station and im happy with my job, yeah working during summer hot is a pain but people comes, i salute them with a smile and i also clean their glass if i am in the mood. I do also checkouts, simple mainteinance (check oil, liquids, tires etc). Work schedule: 7am - 12pm \ 13pm - 18pm every day except sunday.
I am proud of getting this job since it gave me independence from my family at 20yrs old, is a simple job but has more honest pr than a salesman or other tie and jacket jobs. Nobody ever told me to fuck off, never got robbed (but this is cause im huge) and when people ask me what i do with my life i told them that i work in a gas station.
If the guy smirks or starts to tell you how his job is better and you are a fucktard you can tell him to fuck off and move to other conversations. Nobody has the right to judge your job.

I felt pretty great when I had both of those things tbqh.

Also I never had issues with steps 1-3 so I can skip them entirely. I feel lonely even on the internet because I'm too socially inept to make meaningful relationships with people I like, even on social media and chat rooms and online games. I think posting on /v/ for too long gave me some slight dissociative disorder and even though this was my main haunt for vidya discussion with like minded people the board has become overrun with so many shit eating casuals i can't relate to most people here anymore.

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Not_as_bad_as

>>386120509

It feels like a knot, where the strings are your goals, obligations, skills, daily life, and relationships, and they all pull you in a different direction, where you can't seem to really improve one without fucking up something else royally.

Then you consider suicide, until you realize you're not morally dead so you wouldn't make your family pay thousands of dollars to clean you off the sidewalk.

So you just sit, and things get worse, and you take those simple steps to fix things but you never land the decent job, never dazzle your girlfriend or friends successfully, and that new hobby or skill always falls through.

And you finally realize you were just never meant to be happy, and you kinda sit around waiting for something REALLY wrong to happen so your life can finally see some change without you having to be responsible for the pain.

And then eventually you say fuck it, become morally dead, and kill yourself anyway.
