I CAN'T FUCKING DO IT, I CAN'T START A NEW GAME

I CAN'T FUCKING DO IT, I CAN'T START A NEW GAME.
I don't find joy in anything anymore, what the fuck is wrong with me? Should I just an hero already?

just try to have fun

You a student? Got a job? If yes what kinda job?

Just hit continue.

Maybe rather than being frustrated that you can't start a new video game, instead be happy that you are finally growing the fuck up and having a life where starting a new video game isn't the most exciting thing you can imagine.

maybe you've just grown up?

Join a group like BLAEO or something and get people to encourage you going through your backlog.

If you can't start a new anything, you might be depressed.

If it's just games, you might be tired of the medium, or where it's going.

I'm a NEET. I do nothing all day except try to pass the time, either on Sup Forums or just going and laying in bed. Hence the considering of an hero option.

...

How long have you been a NEET? I was one for 8-9 months and then decided start studying engineering and that's what I'm still doing currently.

Try a game that's immediately fun in short bursts like N++. Works for me whenever I'm feeling depressed.

I'm 28, left school at 16. So, 12 years.
I've been on disability since before I left school, primarily for mental health (usual shit like social anxiety, depression etc...) and physical (literal allergy to UV light, IE the sun)

No joke, get at least a part time job assuming you're not legitimately disabled. In my experience, it really helps to get out and do stuff, and give my week a structure rather than just lazing around and having the days blend together. Even if it takes you a while to actually get a job it can still feel productive to apply for at least one job a day.

After reading this post: maybe work the night shift at a retail store? That's what I did for a year despite being really socially awkward. There were only two other people who worked there at night so it got pretty comfy to work in such a small group.

I mean sure you're a neet but jesus at least nobody can really argue with you about going outside.
Like the other user said try taking a night job somewhere nearby, it'll suck at first but you'll probably be around a handful of people at best who probably also don't want to be there.

Yeah, I get it. Going out does help alleviate a lot of negativity overall, but it's a massive struggle. In-between doing that, I just want to find a little joy with vidya again and it's just not happening.

This. If you're unable to enjoy life there is literally no reason to keep going. Remember that you're gonna die regardless of what you choose to do

Being forced to go out really makes you appreciate it, trust me.
I was a neet for like 4 or so years and I'm being forced into a government job training school and it's hell.
For seven hours a day I'm just out being a shitter and hating every moment of it, when you get that weekend, or when you're finally back from a shitty day, vidya feels oh so sweet.

Yeah, but it's the concern of putting family members through something like that.

PIPE STOP ALREADY

Ride the neet train out until you don't have any loved ones left then?
Honestly I'm waiting for my mom to pass before I kill myself

Pretty much what I'm doing, unless I just get to a point where I don't care before then.

>wake up at 6 am

I can't find the energy to play games or do much of anything other than sleep.

please go back to Sup Forums. you've ruined america and I don't want you ruining this board.

What's your job?

Teaching assistant

>get up at 3-4am

You gotta make your own happiness.

America was ruined as soon as the candidates were up. Didn't matter who won, you'd be equally fucked.

No wonder you're drained of energy. What age group do you focus on?

Stop playing, then. If you don't want to, why force the issue?

>reduce your sleeping by 6 hours a day
Are you crazy? How will that give me more energy to play games?
7/8/9th

You'll eventually come full circle and be full of energy.

I have stopped. The problem is that they were one of the few things I enjoyed and now I don't.

how are you even alive

Find something to get you out of the house part time. If that doesn't work then maybe you need a goal to strive for, maybe try beating the backlog or becoming an achievement whore

5 hours is very doable.

I go to bed at midnight and wake up at around 5:30.

19 hours awake with a full time job isn't doable, you're a fucking machine.

just try this gaem. Turn off minimap and tips and inhale

Maybe. I'm something like a back-end web dev, though, so things are pretty slack.

I assume the other user isn't doing hard labor either.

>he can't into polyphasic sleep

i have like 7 games im currently playing depending what my mood is. youre just autistic op.

DON'T DO IT YOU'LL MAKE MUSTARD GAS

by this point doing nothing but playing games has developed iinto a deeply ingrained habit, im sure it has done wonders fr your mental health and not demoralized you to the point you cry because you cant play a game
im not sure if you can get better now but crack whores get better so who knows
you need a ged and a job and then you are going to look for something worth living for since the career path closed

Then stop playing video games and get a job dude. The reason you're feeling like complete shit about video games is because it's all you've been doing fucking days in days out.
You're not unhappy with video games, your're unhappy with your life.

Move to another hobby for some months.
Anime, Manga, learning a new language, exercising, anything.

Then after a while come back and see if anything improved. If not, keep trying. Maybe you'll even move on to a more useful hobby.

I don't know how you do it. Without getting into my life story, I just quit my job in preparation to explore a new country for a year in two weeks and have been jobless for a week and a half. I already want to kill myself from how bored I am.
12 years of not doing anything day in and day out?
Fuck that seems like a hell even I can't handle.

>make a new character in fallout 4
>have fun for a couple hours
>don't play for a day or two
>can't get into old character
>delete and make a new one
>repeat
How does people stick with the same character for hundreds of hours?

I feel you op I play bloodborne when I get home from uni but I downloaded a shitton of good games on my pc but I can't play any of those and just watch tv series or youtube.
I got Legend of Mana, VtM, Dark Arisen and all I can play is Spyro for a while on psp.

Play better games. Do what's fun, not what everyone's talking about. Just quit wasting your time with god-awful AAAs and acquired-taste weeb garbage. Play some actually good games.

Want a recommendation? Go play and beat Maldita Castolla. Go play the mother fucking Odallus.

If you're anything like how I used to be, you're spending too much time fapping and reading shit on the internet which is making your mentally drained.

Take a break from the internet for like a day or so, relax your mind, and then when you feel like it play vidya.

NEET HERE TOO

Feels bad man, I want to learn how to draw, play music and learn programming and I haven't done any of that in 4 years

IN 4 YEARS . I'M A KISSLESS VIRGIN, A FRIENDLESS LOSER , WHY IS LIFE SO CRUEL, WHY AM I SO LAZY WHAT HAPPENED

People need different sleep time. I cannot sleep less than 6 hours otherwise I struggle to keep being awake. I know people that can sleep 4 or 5 hours and be fine with it.

Read what OP said above. More video games isn't the solution.
OP need to get a job, or at least a more productive hobby, and just generally staying away from games for a while.

Play many multiplayer games?

Get Earth Defense Force 4.1, play online, see how long it keeps your attention

Also try Street Fighter V

I can't enjoy single player story based games any more, so far I have absolutely failed to get interested in witcher 3, deux ex md, and fallout 4, but I'm sure as hell ready to get re-addicted to warframe at any moment

play an old game then

I'm right here with you user, except I know what happened to me
Mom let me quit anything I didn't like, I've got like no constitution here.
I quit school, college, home schooling, just got a GED, never bothered getting a job, hurt myself to the point where living normal life is hard but it's not bad enough to warrant disability so now I'm a pathetic pseudo cripple who never did anything worth jack shit in his life.
Mom isn't even that old so I can't off myself without leaving her years of suffering

sauce?

Try getting into something else.

Motorcycles are fun and relatively cheap. They're a bit tricky to learn how to fix at first, but when it all falls into place it's simple stuff.

It's vanilla don't bother

so?

>WHY AM I SO LAZY

Laziness doesn't exist. All laziness is being unmotivated. If you really want to do something, suddenly you're not lazy at all.
You don't want to learn to draw or make music or program. You just want to be able to do those things, and you're not motivated enough to actually put the work in.
You want social relationships, but you're not motivated enough to go outside and build them.

The question is, why do you not care enough?

Because I've been a failure for all my life. I've never won anything.

That's not a reason to not want something.

Not an argument

Smoke some weed nigga. Stop tryin and just give it up and come back with some classic you fuckin love.

What reason do you even want me to come up with. I have no reason.

In a similar position, but I recently picked up Tyranny and it's piqued my interest. Given up on pretty much everything, stopped going to class, want to an hero every day. If you have a dog take it for a nice walk at night, it helps to clear your head, the fresh air and walking will do you some good.

Take a break from the Internet for a few days, it's easy to waste away days here, but just force yourself to take some time away- read, draw, go somewhere you've never been or have always wanted to go. One of my favourite things to do is to go to the cinema when there's good films on and spend the whole day there.

Get yourself out even if it's just for a short time. After a while the urge to play something comes back.

What genres do you usually like OP?

>Smoke some weed nigga
Did you steel a computer?

The real one.

>I CAN'T FUCKING DO IT, I CAN'T START A NEW GAME.
>I don't find joy in anything anymore, what the fuck is wrong with me? Should I just an hero already?
Are you playing games on PC?

Explain.

You don't have to come up with a reason, there is only one reason, and you have to find out why.

I'm just saying, being lazy is not the reason, because laziness is just a word to shame people into doing shit they don't actually wanna do. Why are you unmotivated to do anything?

>poster for ants

Are you retarded?

I never really thought about it user. Could've been the bullying throughout school (felt bad man, everyone picked on me) , could've been I have nobody to show my success to, could be the fact that I'm just an ugly fat guy who doesn't have a girlfriend. Point is I just don't feel like doing that stuff even though it would be cool as fuck to learn it.

>tfw waiting for that christmas break
Come on man we can make it

No, are you?

Evidence suggest otherwise.

Well, sounds like the fix to all those problems is going outside and meeting people. Being bored makes you eat things for short term comfort, so that explains part of why you're fat.
Best thing would be to go somewhere people with your interests go, so you immediately meet people to share your progress with.

Most people would rather wallow in self pity than put the effort in though. It's just more comfortable, especially since you can share your loathing with the other NEETS on 4chins.

Staying away from their favourite form of entertainment has never helped anyone. And only neets think that finding a job is in any way fulfilling at all.

This
Getting a job does not fucking help depression. People say you'll enjoy video games more when you're off work. With me, I still couldn't start up anything. Being a neet may seem depressing, but it's so much better than the regimented life.

It's more about changing your habits and doing something new for a change.

Could be anything.

Maybe neets arent something that come from certain circumstances. Maybe they are just born with fucked up heads

I mean shit, pewdiepie was on the path to becoming a neet. He quit school to make youtube videos while working at a hot dog stand on the side. If he never got popular hed probably be having an existential crisis still working there and watching his country go to shit

Getting a job has made me a much happier man, it has given me a purpose, I get plenty of social interaction with my colleagues, which was hard at first but i got used to it eventually. I get enough cash to spend it on whatever game, console, pc part I want. I used to be very unhappy with my life and drink myself numb most nights, although now I barely have any motivation to start up a game

>sleeps 11 hours a day
that's not healthy

>drop out of high school when I was 15 because addicted to internet and videogames
>have the best time of my life, make a lot of friends and acquaintaces, kept in contact with many of them still after 8 years
>go through an anime phase and discover Sup Forums at 17-18
>slowly become depressed, nothing is exciting anymore, regret having dropped out of hs
>decided to come back to school at 20, determined to get my diploma and fix my shit life
>nasty health problems makes me feel like utter shit and worsen my depression to a whole new level
>all my positivity goes to the gutter but still force myself to continue school
>cure my illness but it comes back and probably this time will be fatal
>should get my diploma this years if all goes well, but still super depressed because I could die in the next year/s
>want to live so bad, trying to better my condition but I'd rather die than live suffering

It's a complicated feeling and I don't expect anyone to relate, but seriously looking back my initial depression wasn't justified compared to what I have now. Feeling pain and your body like shit is the worst feeling of them all.

can't say what my disease is because I have a friend who browses Sup Forums and I don't want to get noticed by him

depression is never justified user, that's its' whole shtick. it's an illness

justified depression is just called sadness

I don't know, aside from my health problems I still feel depressed because I don't have any real life friends, being a NEET/hikki from such early age fucked my social skills badly, haven't accomplished anything worthwhile in life etc

It's just that health problems made everything that much worse. I don't even know why I should strive for something better now since I know my bad luck will be against me

Also I don't really believe the depression isn't justified thing. The people who are depressed have all a valid reason for being so in my opinion, it's just that it's rooted deep inside us and many times we forget even the reasons why we started being depressed.

I basically just sleep 12 hours a day and then do nothing on the internet when I'm awake. I have interests, but my mental health has deteriorated so much that I no longer enjoy doing anything. Even things that I loved as a kid no longer bring me any joy; quite the opposite, really. Most things I once had interest in just kinda make me want to die now. I've tried finding new hobbies but I always lose interest after a few days or they just put me in terrible moods so I stop.

I've tried medication, therapy, hypnosis, exercise, basically anything that's been said to help with anxiety and stress. None of it has done anything. I try so hard to improve myself and find things to enjoy, but I just can't. Honestly think about how nice it would be to die so I wouldn't have to deal with any of this anymore. I've had this problem for years and at this point I feel like I'm never going to find a solution.

Depression is a mental disorder much in the same vane as OCD or Schizophrenia. There isn't a clear "cause" for it, it just happens. Schizophrenia can happen to someone who was always paranoid, and depression can happen to someone with a deep-rooted sadness, but they can also happen to anyone. They're not causally dependant on those things.

Also much like OCD ands schizophrenia, it's grossly misunderstood by the public.

I hope you make it through whatever it is, user.

Try genres you don't normally play, for example I'm getting fighting games because it's a nearly brand new experience for me.

Impose challenges on yourself, like 3 lives per game or something. You could also not upgrade your health and play on hardest difficulty. Just do shit like that. You'll find you have to think more about how you deal with a game with it's mechanics removed, which makes it harder but also more rewarding if you complete it.


I'm about to do a saints row 3 run on hardest difficulty with no health upgrades for example.

Thank you.

Play PS1 collectathons you bitch. Nothing makes you appreciate bullshit like finding every gem/crystal/dildo in a fucking great game.

Find other things to enjoy.

I'm an obese asshole and I have no joy in anything beyond drinking myself to death and I still try every day to improve my life. I mean no illwill (I'm drunk right now(, only to tell you that trying every day is its own reward,

hang int there baby

>trying every day is its own reward
you are not helping.

Well fuck off then. The literal least you can do is try even in the smallest way, the day you stop trying is the day you give up and live in shit or kill yourself.

>you're an east yuropoor so no NEETbux for you because the state can't even support legitimate disability cases
>forced to work a 9-5 soul crushing office job

It really shows how content I am with life when I'm envious of american/western european NEETs.

Anyway, I don't even get why the fuck do you people always complain, I've spent two years being a """student""" and doing fuck all except watching anime and playing videogames, only going outside to get food and shit and it was great. I wish I could do it again.

Changing your habits FACILITATES depression. It's stress. It can be useful, but it doesn't make things better, it only allows for a POSSIBILITY of making things better if you survive the initial stress.
