Mental Illness

What are your thoughts on it?
Anons with mental problems, what's your life like with your specific disorder?

What does this have to do with news or politics?

What do /aesthetic/ threads have to do with either of those?

I have severe depression. It's not the kind that makes you cry all the time, but it's more that i feel empty. I don't feel positive emotions at all, and things that I once loved can't hold my attention for a more than a few minutes. I get the urge to cut sometimes just to get the emptiness out, but I never do it cause I'm a pussy and I hate pain. I can't do any work and lie in bed for hours, thinking about how everyone I love would be better off if I'd never existed at all.

for depression, If they post about it on social media or talk about it easily then they are faking it. The vast majority of people affected by the "depression epidemic" are just lazy fucks who don't understand you aren't supposed to be happy 24/7.

Besides the problem with anti-depressants being a joke if someone actually thinks they have depression they should try spending more time outside and less time on screens, read more, exercise at minimum 1 hour a day 3 times a week, stop eating junk food and fast food, talk to people without being autistic, set goals and work to them.

I was diagnosed borderline personality disorder and bipolar. Was on antipsychotics and lithium for a few years. Quit that shit in 2012. Things were shaky for about a year. Fine now

If you’re losing it, get a job and start lifting. Also drink daily. You’ll be fine

This. you have actual depression, not just some cunt looking for sympathy points

can teh problem be concisely defined?

i'm gay

Depression is a loss of purpose. How do you set for yourself goals and seek to interact with others when you have no reason to and feel as if all you ever do is cause pain?

The answer is making up a reason. But what I find most interesting is that for a person void of anything, he is left with only one thing and lives for one thing:

God.

A lot of it can be fixed with
>Regular Exercise
>Diet and wholesome food
>Toughing it out when it gets hard
>Counseling
Anti depressants destroy your ability to feel. Psychology is literally memelogy bullshit created by Jews in Vienna.
Psychiatry has some merit as a part of medicine

I'm depressed and used to have intense OCD bullshit but luckily that seems to have died down a bit. I also have social anxiety but I try to alleviate that but having good conversation and pronunciating my words clearly - like hit those Ts etc, make it sound more pleasant.

I'm still autistic as fuck though. I had to collect a package for my uncle from a neighbours house and I was sweating before I went.

I've got to go do some work experience thing tomorrow for my dole money and I'm kind of intimidated.

I've been dealing with schizophrenia that has gotten progressively worse over 20 years now. I am going to kill myself sometime next year. I just haven't figured out the ideal time or way to minimize hurting those around me.

I can't sleep anymore. I usually stay up for days and just collapse. I have horrible fucked up dreams and just laying in bed makes me feel incredibly vulnerable to that which is trying to influence me.

Is it better to just die alone in the woods and have my family think I've abandoned them rather than to leave a headless corpse and a shotgun to be found after they come back from some event?

Pills and therapy do nothing. I've been on more medications than I can count. I've seen therapist/psychiatrists since I was 14 (I am now 35). I've had ECT as well. I've been institutionalized. Nothing makes life better. Its just a matter of time before I seriously harm someone else so I need to check out before this happens.

I don't know how to feel about it. Doctors love to tell me I was fucked from the get go. Both of my parents died when I was very young. My mother did all sorts of substance abuse while pregnant with me. She had a past history of mental illness(including schiz). I had to be raised by my grandparents and was sexually abused by an older relative for an extended period of time ontop of other things.

But sometimes I like to imagine its all the fault of being fed pills as a kid. With all that said if you are genuinely mentally ill all I can suggest is be very careful about who you open up to and what you trust them with. People love to present themselves are your friends and confidants only to reveal themselves as a two faced liar.

Get over yourself. If you kill yourself you won't be missed. You'll be forgotten

Feels good, man

I have depression and anti-depressions kinda work but they just make it harder to feel anything else


None of these worked for me. If any anons have any other ways to help because it's getting worse and worse and I'm considering ending it all somehow.

Well you might be a rare case that needs medication and extra help. Most people dont need it that much. I used to have panic attacks and when I started to go to the gym and sleep regularly and live healthy a lot of issues go away. Humans and biologically designed to be unhappy bastards. Modern worlds makes us miserable because we aren't engaging our brains nature intended. But nature did not intend us to be happy either.

Bruh, don't be this edgy.
Im sorry you have schiz man. Its a rough suit of cards. I don't have anything against suicide, and if you feel its the right time, then that's your choice. Just be sure, and know that you'll always hurt the ones you leave. Its the nature of suicide/ abandonment. But yeah man I feel for ya.

General anxiety disorder here

I take meds (not xanax!!!) and it works like a charm

I always used to be septic of the pharma jew but now... I think sometimes there is just no other way to get better.

Don't kill yourself. When I was 15 one of my friends struggling with mental problems killed himself, and he thought he won't be missed. His parents had bailed on him when he was little and he was staying in his Uncles house who couldn't give a shit about him and would often kick him out of the house for weeks if he didn't comply at all, sometimes I would be available to take him in but other times he would just roam the streets for nights. This of course made him very messy and unorganized which lead to bullying and harrasing from not into students but also teachers. I can't think of a single person he called his freind apart from me. When he did it, j was in school when I found out (and subsequently everyone else found out) and EVERYONE was saying about how they miss him and how they were freinds with him and shit like that. I didn't say anything at the time as I was a beta fag and it was all the chads that were saying this. What I'm trying by get at is people will miss you. I miss him, the school does (even if the chads don't) and even his fucking uncle I caught crying at the funeral. Life may be bad right now but if you keep it together then you'll reach a point where you think to yourself "wow, I'm really glad I didn't commit suicide last month" and those moments are the reasons not to do it.

I've tried almost all medication available. I think I'm just gonna end it soon because I can't go on much longer like this

Is there a way for me to get free autism depression bucks from the government? Im looking for a job but nobody will hire me. Im depressed because I dont have enough money to move out and my parents are getting sick of me.

Mental illness is not a joke but it can be.
Most of you lack discipline and are just shitty people, but not wanting to admit these hard truths to yourself you create various psychopathies, thus allowing you to cling to the "I'm just ill" excuse. How do I know? Because I've been there and am now in the process of rising above this self-induced bluepill. Exercise daily, read chapters from adult book every day, create two or three new ways of earning $$$ (learn photoshop or coding, for example), go outside every day, be social often. Gaining control over your habits and acquiring discipline will go a long way toward curing whatever "mental illness" you think you have.

Real psychology is understanding you have control over the health and illness of your mind.

>When he did it, j was in school when I found out (and subsequently everyone else found out) and EVERYONE was saying about how they miss him and how they were freinds with him and shit like that.

They don't really. They were just virtue signalling.

I smonk weed for too smartness

Positive living requires some sort of positive feedback loop. Some of us get zero positive feedback and only negative feedback from others and themselves. This explains most mental distress. Without reward or hope of reward doing things becomes harder and harder. Then self destructive behaviour kicks in and you’re in a downward spiral. You have to create your own positive feedback loops. The world will not do it until you do it first.

Research SSI. It's not much, but it's something.

I get that but all of them do but I could see that some of them were clearly upset by it and he did speak to some people but just not directly call them freind like he did to me

To some extent thats true. But at the same time you can always hearken back to the phrase, "Don't know what you have until its gone". But yes, there is a shitload of virtue signaling going on especially at school when someone dies (suicide or death by other means)

Mental illness is a fraud. Greedy jews scamming you out of your money. 9/10 diagnoses are bullcrap. As lomg as you're not running around naked outside with a toothbrush in your hand screaming you're not mentally ill.

Its true dude. I know people who kill themselves. There's an initial flush of "Oh my god", "what the fuck" and then its maybe their mom or dad lights a candle for them on their birthday or their friends have a get a small get together. Over the years it just becomes a big pile or regrets and unresolved anger at the person who killed them self. They all want to kick the shit out the suicide but that person is just a pile of rotting meat in the ground. Thats the truth. I'm not going to kill myself until my parents are gone.

I have a mild autism. Always struggled to fit in with people around me, I probably took everything too serious now that I look back. I wasn't degenerate enough, didn't want to break any rules. Worst part was getting redpilled and then realising i would probably bring bad genes on if I bred. But I really wanted to have children. So I tried to kms a few times, realised i was fapping too much, and now I am much better, though i keep thinking about having children from time to time.

>What are your thoughts on it?
It was considered a disability and then in the Seventies and Eighties, therapy became chic almost television (surprise!) had shows like Bob Newhart and Frasier, and in 1987 prozac hit the market and Madison Avenue went nuts, there were news shows telling people it was a happy pill that had no side effects. Then came the zoloft, wellbutrin, cymbalta, lexpro etc. There is literally billions of dollars annually convincing retarded young parents there kid is fucked up but it can be fixed with this pill and that therapy, lol...then after you have drugged the kids you need to make common human behavior pathological so a hyperactive kid is now diagnosed with adhd or add, shyness become social anxiety disorder, and the best thing is it's bi-partisan, which is always the best form of tyranny because it crosses party lines.

Its a scam
>Repressed memories
>Satanic panic scare
>Opiod addiction, benzo's
>Adderall, ritalin
I've popped ritalin for fun, it made me grind my teeth like MDMA. its nuts this shit is prescribed like sweets

Antidepressants should only be for people who literally can't do anything else. Pills have America fucked, and Europe is copying them. Americans know all the chemical names for drugs cause its so ingrained in their culture.

Do what you can think of 2 overcome it and try to stop being a victim. Things could always be worse. Like not having legs. Or getting in a car accident and being disabled for life. You have it good. Go see a shrink and stop asking Sup Forums to be your doctor.

Bipolar disorder. I go into psychosis every few months. I should be locked up for my own safety and those of others.

I have severe OCD and social anxiety.
I have constant, relentless, negative intrusive thoughts clouding my mind every single waking moment of my life. The result is never ending anxiety and depression.
It feels like having a demon in your brain second guessing every single impulse, feeling, or thought you have. Just constant doubt with no end.
I can't trust anyone because these negative thoughts always imagine what's the worse possible intention that person may have. I don't enjoy anyone's company because I can't stop thinking about what possible horrible judgement they may have about me.
I can't stop obssessing about bad things that *may* happen. Like a feeling of permanent impending doom.
The worse part is that I know all this is irrational. I know these thoughts often have no basis on reality. But I can't stop the ride.
The only things that bring me peace of mind are:
- Sleep
- Intoxication with alcohol/drugs, which sometimes derive in panic attacks anyways
- Medication with tricyclics/SSRIs, which not only kill your dick, but also stunt your ability to feel anything like other anons pointed out

I think of killing myself everyday, multiple times a day.

mental illness is awful - if it gets in the way of living your life. You may have voices in your head telling you lottery numbers that actually work. Crazy? yeah technically but you aren't hurting anyone or yourself, and the money's good.

Spergs autism- socially isolated, perceived as weird person by other people,as a result became Loner,

I would have social anxiety too if I was in Croatia

>How do you set for yourself goals and seek to interact with others when you have no reason to and feel as if all you ever do is cause pain?
First you wait for your balls to drop. Then when you have entered manhood, you will stop thinking like a bitch.

Read dianetics nigger you actually do have a fucking demon in your mind

South America. Imagine being an anxious, neurotic, obssessive sperg living in a place where everyone is so relaxed, warm, social, and light-hearted?

I was talking in another thread earlier about circumcision and how mine was botched by the doctor. I haven't talked about it before to anyone and I felt kinda better after discussing it, even though it was only on here. Its really fucked me up here not going to lie. For years as a teenager I had resigned myself to the fact I would never get a girlfriend or have sex for that matter. Porn didn't help my self esteem. Eventually, I just stopped caring about myself and played video games for a decade. Now I'm older I realise that you can't just decide you don't want to grow up and I'm behind everyone in just about everything. Now I am trying to sort my life out, but now I feel real depression, the hopelessness and self hatred are crippling, even when I NEED to work sometimes I just can't bring myself to do it, I just can't care. Every time I do it just hurts that much more when I fail. I am trying to get better but I just can't find a reason to get better and this fucking deformed penis I have does not help. If I am not trying to sort my life out to share it with someone else then what is the point, I would rather die.

Some guys in the other thread said to restore my foreskin and I'm going to try. This is a good start but not a solution due to the fact that when I say they botched the circumcision, I mean that they removed the bottom part of my glans (the penis head) so now there is a big gash where my penis should be connected. I dont even know why I'm typing this, must be addicted to the pity party now.

I know this feel. I was beaten by parents for not having a gf or a great social life like the other kids my age.

>dianetics

I realize that overall "scientology" is basically CBT/self help in a way but I dont think you should encourage anyone to read that book.

>dianetics
Sounds like bullshit.
Why did you get a circumcision exactly? You are not American, Jewish, or Muslim aren't you?

Does being a tranny counts?

Some sort of disease that mean't my foreskin wouldn't grow with my penis and no I'm an unlucky Anglo.

lmao vodkanigger

post pic so we can asses

also sue the doctor if able

and remember user, plastic surgery has reached amasing heights, all the best

...

...

mental illness in white society means high IQ and low self awareness. I am highly abstract and highly self aware and you will never catch me.

I am bipolar type 1, which means that I have 2-3 month periods of mania, characterized by very high energy levels, 4-5 hours of sleep, a stimulant-like experience of intense euphoria, delusions(in my case religious delusions), rapid mood swings between rage, crying, happiness, derealization(you feel like you are in a dream or nothing is real), and a few other things.

The rest of the time(three quarters of the time) I am in a state of confusion or depression, but I always have high levels of physical energy and restlessness. I just can't really think during these periods and I am quite miserable, nothing feels good.

It has taken quite a toll, but it is not as bad as schizophrenia, for which I'm thankful. The manic experiences can be unbelievably beautiful as well, which is a sort of bonus.

People have become more afraid of me over the years because of violence and general craziness, but it is very easy to socialize when I am manic, so I kind of 'restock' on acquaintances or girls in those periods. I am terrible at holding jobs or going to school.

I will probably kill myself in the next couple years, because I am not of much use to society and I am getting too old to behave the way I do.

cool. goodbye

I'm completely insane. In a clinical sense, not a violent one. I'm not a dangerous crazy person.

I've learned to deal with it. I have a job, skills, I generate an income. I live alone in a house I never leave. I'm perfectly happy in here.

Holidays are kinda weird. The last time I celebrated a holiday with anyone else Bush Jr. was President and there was a big argument about Iraq and 9/11. I don't miss that shit. Tomorrow I'm making myself a corned beef and getting shit faced drunk with my dog. Best person I ever met

Sorry man but I'm not gonna post my penis on here I already have zero self esteem. I have been thinking about taking some legal action with the doctor but it I am 20 now so I'm not sure if it's the best decision. My parents should have done it in the first place. Suing the doctor would be the only way for me to get plastic surgery unfortunately, considering I am a poor fag.

Autogynephilia. When I get faggy thoughts I whip myself with a belt or snap my wrist with a rubber band. Operant conditioning fucking works. If I ever feel that I can't go on without pretending to be a lady, I will kill myself to spare the world my degeneracy.

This is the correct sentiment. Anyone who really wants out will find their way. Otherwise, either double down on your self indulgent depression or knock it off
If you want out, go for it. Just make sure that’s really what you want

Government creates the environment we live in. Insanity is very political, and a symptom of ineffective leadership.

You’re retarded. Govt impacts only that which is external. What’s inside you is governed by your wiring and previous life experience and the decisions you made impacting the overall outcome
Stop being a faggot.

You guys think you gotta bad with your problwns?

Try being mentally retarded, homeless, on welfare and living in a trailer park and everyone hates you now for votibg foe drump.

I’m an aspie who gets overstimulated easily, if there’s just too much shit to take in at once i lock up and also sometimes start screaming too

Happens a lot when people berate/yell at me

You guys actually go get your mental issues checked? I don't want that shit on paper anywhere, ever.

I'm schizophrenic and have no long term memory or emotion what so ever, Idk how I managed to degrade so quickly but before the diagnosis I managed to get inside 3 vaginas. I am now a broken person and don't even have enough thought to be depressed, because of that life is bare-able.

I got mis-diagnosed with bipolar (I just have ADHD and I'm depressed) and put on anti psychotic/SSRI's and now i have permanent memory loss even though i stopped taking them a year ago.
Every day I can't remember what I did the day before, I can't remember what i did 5 mins ago, I can't work even a fast food job because I can't remember the orders. Previously i was working full time, 2 jobs, since i was 17. Now i'm 24 and forget to wipe my own ass.

Nobody tells you how bad of an idea this is when you're young. They just send you to a therapist and then - oops, you wanna work for the government or something now? Too bad. You can't because we have on paper that you were diagnosed as severely depressed and you used to cut yourself

I haven't got one at the moment but i have a good chance to get schrizophenia as my father had it so yeah that sucks ass

JOIN THE HEARING VOICES MOVEMENT

THEY ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO THE VOICES IN THEIR HEAD

WHATS THAT DONALD DUCK ?!?!

It's mostly a meme

>be schizophrenic
>post something like "You guys actually go get your mental issues checked? I don't want that shit on paper anywhere, ever."

its subtle, isn't it?

That's my biggest concern, though I don't think there is anything REALLY wrong with me. Not worth the risk to me though.

Not wanting opportunities potentially closed off to me doesn't mean I've got problems. I'm sensibly paranoid.

Yea I'd say it's reasonable that you don't want your mental condition to discredit everything you say in the basis of "Oh he's just crazy"

Ive had severe anxiety/OCD and panic/anxiety attacks for a year now....

Wow what a tough year, unreal. I also had severe insomnia for months and my god what a hellish time. Words can not describe the mental hell.

I just dont know what to do, I want to get help but im scared of the stigma that comes with that and the possibility of hard drugs.

Thank you, I do think it's a reasonable position. I', not against getting help if you absolutely need it, but people need to assess the risks. Will doing so close doors that you don't want closed?

oh jesus for a second i thought you were talking to yourself until i realized it was just two canadians with the same ID color.

>He doesn't talk to himself

Most of them are caused by bad ideas,thought patterns, and other environmental effects in the same way that physical illness is caused by parasites and microbes. Some people are genetically fucked like with cystic fibrosis but most are the result of environment, like diabetes type 2. Same with mental things. Similarly, like how some people are more likely to develop physical illnesses like heart problems due to genetic factors, some will be more at risk of mental ones even if they are not fucked from birth.

The bad idea infects the host and causes mental illness like a microbe infects a host and causes physical illness; the immune system tries to fight off the microbe, but some are strong and make you ill. In the same way, many bad ideas are rejected on a constant basis by a person, but some are strong and infect them, and then the person becomes mentally ill because their mental immune system cannot fight it off. Just like a person physically ill has microbes multiplying inside them, and spreads them via coughing and sneezing, a person infected with a bad idea will have this idea replicate itself inside his head and will often try to pass this idea on.

Thought patterns that have solidified over many years are like a long-running infection of microbes; some drugs they may be resistant to, and more powerful ones may need to be tried, though of course, for mental issues we talk mental treatment, not just drugs, but same principle. Other people have mental AIDS and so have low resistance to any bad idea because their mental immune system has been wrecked.

Just as a person without adequate nutrition whilst growing will have a weak immune system, a person who grows without a good family will often have a weak mental immune system. Single motherhood in particular is mental HIV in kids and develops to mental AIDS, so they are constantly being infected by every bad thought and idea. This manifests not just in mental illness, but criminality and other things.

You can be one of the last on the day of the rake

>heres your simple solution in an easy to read twelve thousand page manuscript. Youre welcome

WHAT THE FUCK NIGEL

You are far too kind to me. I appreciate you letting me watch the other leaf's being struck down and raked. It will fill me with intense euphoria.

I have had insane Anxiety coupled with de-realazation and sudden decrease in contrast(Colors were like if you could see the world in Sepia but all the time) it was literal hell and OCD to go with that wich didnt make things any better and i just got more depressed to the point that i had an Existential Crisis and couldnt get out of bed for several weeks and thought my life was lie and Existence is only in my head(Severe case of Descartes) ... it took me 2,5 years to recover to the point of being close to normal...but its just that close never the same just close and ive been idling on this ever since... Anons i kid you not dont fuck around with anything that might cause de-releazation(I didnt use drugs btw it was stress related.) it will change your life to the point of you wanting to be your ol depressed self just to escape the Angst and other factor that come with it... if you ever wondered what it would feel like to be in the matrix i have lived it and it isnt very pleasant to say the least.

I don't actually know what's wrong with me because i'm terrified of doctors and such but i'll be homeless by next week. I've been hikki since dropping out of HS but started lifting and eating right about a year ago, it helped for a time but i think it ended up making it worse because now i'm confident crazy instead of hide in my room all day crazy and am also angry politically. I joined the army but got discharged during BCT training for being crazy. Learned a lot though. Through about 5 years of red flags starting in HS not one time have i been called out of anything. Probably not even on any lists. Pretty sure the military even has programs to monitor people discharged for mental health reasons but for reason i'm not involved with that.

it's almost like they want me to snap or some shit, i probably won't but this is ridiculous isn't it? pretty sure i could still buy a firearm too, haven't tried yet because no money but i doubt i'm on that list

To bide your time, check out my posts in this thread and fite me irl

Yeah.

Hey, well if you want a solution i think i've got it.
I've only been doing it for about 2 months, so yes this is very anecdotal.
Take some LSD, but not a lot, just a little. Like 1/2 or 1 tab (100micrograms) and spend the ENTIRE day as your personal therapy session. You very well might have a bad trip because during this time while on the LSD you have to think about all your problems--- and how to fix them. It's literally bringing your unconscious and subconscious mannerisms and quirks in FULL light, in your conscious mind.
The best part, in my opinion, is that you CAN'T take it every day, and it's out of your system entirely in just a few days. This way you can't just keep turning to it every day for relief like I have in the past with alcohol, weed and even coke. LSD is the cure.

Each time, my depression is literally gone for at least a week. It's become almost a ritual to me now, every 2 weeks on the day I'll have a day to reflect on myself and get myself "back on track" mentally.
In reality I'll just be on disability because of my newly( actually 2 years now? wow) acquired incompetence for the rest of my life though.

And before you ask, yes I took one today.

I have Depression. Its shit. Whats more shit is seeing every Tom, Dick and Harry romanticize it as a cool new virtue signalling gimmick when they have a bad day. 'JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW BE KIND TO DEPRESSED PEOPLE COZ I AM LOL' Meanwhile I have stints where I literally am physically incapable of getting out of bed for 4-5 days. I have tried both on and off medication and off seems to work slightly better for me, but I still have terrible episodes where I stare at walls for 12 hours at a time and would rather piss myself than get up and go to the bathroom. Then the shame of this makes me sad even in a 'happy' spell. Alcoholism and substance abuse keep the worst of it at bay. The best part is my friends and family don't even know. I told them I was going through a rough time 3-4 years ago but as far as they know I got better in a few months. Not proud or ashamed to admit any of this, it just is what it is.

I've checked your posts and their...
bretty goooood.
Why would I want to fight... a friend?

I had PTSD from a car wreck a few years back but I've made enough progress to where I just have "acute anxiety" or whatever, though. My 3D waifu has BPD, though and it fucking sucks. It really fucking sucks. Every time she says she wants to kill herself she means it. There's rarely any stability with us :(

I spend my half the time thinking I'm retarded and the other half thinking I'm insane.

Can i have some (you)`s as well please? Thanks.

most of my thoughts consist of burning everything with a fire that cant be stopped and razing everything until nothing but ashes remain...
but i try to ignore that asshole

>I don't feel positive emotions at all, and things that I once loved can't hold my attention for a more than a few minutes.
Interesting... I feel this exactly, but I don't think of it as depression, just boredom.

Yep.
And this is coming from another tranny.

Dont take any drugs or you might risk de-realazation

Your IQ is actually sub-60.

OCD.

For me the compulsions are minute. The obsessive and intrusive thoughts however make my life hell, i am skeptical and cynical of my own thoughts and can never reach a positive conclusion without feeling like i'm lying to myself.

Practice.
