What vidya cures depression

What vidya cures depression

get a job

This game is out of stock.

None, unfuck yourself faggot

Play real life user please


i bet the next user will say persona 4 that shit only get weebs way more depressed later because they don't get the message and never go outside

This game's all sold out in my country

None

>I'm too intelligent to work minimum wage jobs! That's why I spend all day on anime imageboards and playing video games!

Stop beating yourself up over your past failures: The Video Game

find a nice arpg and grind forever

This, I got real fucking depressed after finishing P5. It'll make you feel better for a few weeks but the come down is brutal if you're an anti-social fuck like me.

>implying
I'd work literally any job
there are none

What games cure burning out? I don't enjoy them like I've used to do.

>i bet the next user will say persona 4 that shit only get weebs way more depressed later because they don't get the message and never go outside

honestly I feel like delivering that message via the medium of an escapist grindy high school social life sim that rewards minmaxing and obsession may have been a bad idea.

you're not looking hard enough senpai
or you're interviewing like shit
or you're delusional.

But user, I have a job and the pain doesn't go away.

probably 2 because I'm a fucking white male

>jobs cure depression

No wonder everyone loves working so much.

Bullshit, what country are you in?

When I burn out on games I try and do something different. Maybe I read a book or watch some anime in my backlog. Maybe I go outside. Maybe I do something that I've never done before. Just something different.

>trying to use video games to cure overexposure to video games

ever heard of a tolerance break? go do something else entirely.

Oblivion

Australia

...

I have 2 jobs and it doesn't help with my depression.

I see, so it's because the jews put you down?

persona 4 that shit only get weebs way more depressed later because they don't get the message and never go outside

>I miss being a kid
common sentiment on this board. but honestly I prefer the independence

>get a job
>still depressed
>go full vidya
>depressed
>exercise, get a fair bit buff
>still empty and shitty inside
>take up an art hobby
>fuck it

Yeah.

Oh well, I took up drinking and smoking and that alleviates it quite a bit.

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.

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

>people not realising that a gf is the key to happiness

Just get a gf, it's not hard. I'm like a 6/10 and I haven't been single for 4 years

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.

Doom

it's a lie, gf won't make you stop being depressed. it's a mindset thing

I've been in a relationship for five years and I'm pretty depressed. My girlfriend is wonderful but mental illness isn't so cut and dry.

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.

I'm not depressed anymore, i just fucking HATE everyone. the SAME "JOKES" the SAME SMALLTALK, the SAME MAINSTREAM INTERESTS. COOKIE CUTTER PEOPLE.
How to fix

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.

Make new jokes, meet new people, introduce new interests

there are none
games are not real
same as fun and enjoyment they make you feel
and after every finished game you fill sink even lower and look for another "shot" more desperately

you should seek profesional help
alternatively if you are as paranoid as me on top of depression you should volounteer to help in orphanage

it really fixed my life

Nothing. If anything vidya enables depression or exacerbates it.

>you must approach a complete stranger
>while approaching, you mustn't spill the spaghetti
>you must try to convince her that you're not a complete beta failure, despite you knowing full well what you really are
>you must get out of your room in order to do all that
>and there's a 80% chance all the effort will be in vain, because you're not attractive
Looks pretty hard to me.

I suffered from the same problem but the alternative is dipping your toes into the cesspool that is having online-only friends

Sometimes you get people who share your sense of humor and are tru niggas

Sometimes you get furfags with severe mental health issues

Every "tired gamer" in this thread needs to immediately off themselves. Go doing something you retarded fucks instead of dwelling in your /r9k/ reeking sewer.

stop talking to boring people.

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.

How do people find the energy and time to hold a fulltime job and volunteer at places?

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.

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

Actual Depression is mostly irrational.

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.

>drink to the point of everything being pleasant
>load up some vidya and enjoy yourself
>ride the momentum of that enjoyable vidya session for the next few days
>imbibe more alcohol if and when needed

Sorted

If they enjoy it enough, it's not tiring, at least not immediately.

>you'll never have a cute doctor as your gf
>she'll never try to cure your depression with hugs and handholding

>tfw ascended past depression to completely hollow emptiness

body building and jogging

Unfortunately depression can lead to becoming a worthless self-hating sack of shit

Smoking is also worth taking up, it's like a fasttrack into the bone zone when combined with a few shots.

A couple of beers, a quart of whiskey, a good smoke and you can even enjoy a jRPG.

>want to jog more
>find it mind numbingly boring
how to fix?

I'm treating mine with methylphenidate.
The good part: it works
The bad part: it works too well and I never want to be off it

when's the part where I sleep going to come?

Jog to somewhere, don't just jog in a circle.

Or don't jog. Fuck jogging. Do some squats in front of your computer while it's playing Youtube videos.

>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.

find a podcast you'd like to listen to and listen to it while you jog

Uhhh hello sir I have very strong self hate and I was literally diagnosed with depression

Have you considered that depression is not the same for everyone, and perhaps you should stop being retarded?

Jesus Christ, user.

Getting a job is easy

Getting a job that you can actually tell people you have is another matter

>Hey user, how are you, I haven't seen you since graduation! What are you doing?
>Oh... working second shift at Sonic? Ok...t-talk to you later

Music mate no fucking joke. Your body goes on autopilot for some fucking weird reason. Just remember to keep your tracklist sensible.

>current year
>being depressed
>not abusing substance and memes
Look at this fucking pleb

Only if it's the sort of gf that can actually make you happy
the nu-non-normalfags think that every female is the sort of vapid whore they don't like when the truth is that finding the person whose company you prefer to solitude is just extremely hard

personally, I'm just not interested enough to pour in that effort.

Sometimes it is i guess, but i have horrible taste, when a girl likes me i don't realize it until years later and when i like a girl i just always go over the top with my optimism, i get in shape i get shit done 10 times faster and better but none of that matters i talk to the girl she says she is not interested or we go out a few times to then never speak to me again and the worst feeling in the world is when a girl rejects you and then decides to start a relationship with a fucking drug addict emo fag only to talk to you months later after she has been cheated on trying to make you the rebound guy, all that shit only got me more depressed

like why is it so hard to just find a happy girl nowdays that just wants to do fun stuff it seems like all they want is to have a relationship full of drama and the shit you see on reality showa

I've tried music but it doesn't seem to help me. Also juggling my phone and trying to keep earbuds in while running feels really awkward.

Nice try Capitalism-san

>encouraging others to abuse substances
lol someone is clearly in their first 5 years of abusing whatever substance they're abusing

or is just a sociopath

someone around me just saying or doing something positive every now and then could honestly go a long way on improving things

This man knows the truth.

Fuck life, fuck being sad and shitty all the time and fuck it all. Just light up whatever shit you want and you, dog, can have your day.

>being a slave
>getting ride of your human being honor

get a good job

yeah haha i'm also 22 and still live with my parents and the reality of this delusional outlook on life hasn't quite caught up with me yet. Holy fuck, the rude awakening coming to me is going to be awful, and I am definitely not emotionally prepared for the horror I've gotten myself into.

I'll probably kill myself before I get that far anyway.

Epic Sup Forums bro
do you really think waking up at 6 am to go be a wage slave "fixes" depression?
you either hang on enough to get a few years out of it and kill yourself when it all goes back to normal or get fired a few months in

Don't listen to normies

Jobs aren't worth it, friends you are to embarrassed to talk to unless you have a job AREN'T worth it, falling in love is ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH IT

Take it from a normie. I wish I could be you every day. I'd kill to get autism bucks and be free of all the relationships that keep me socially pressured to compete.

nothing

you gotta genuinely work on yourself. you must recognize your flaws and embrace them. you must recognize your strengths and hone them. rejecting yourself will only make you hate yourself in the long run. believe in your strengths. let your positive and negative emotions coalesce to fuel you for the purpose of improving yourself

>Tell close friend I feel like I might be depressed
>Talk through a lot of shit
>All of a sudden start to hear from him less and less
>Him and the other guy I was friends with just outright ignore my messages/never ask me to come out


Quality people :^)
Nah, fuck people I swear to god.

Get a third job

easier said than done. would you perhaps be supplying some of these good jobs? i have a high school diploma and no marketable skills. my interests are video games, anime, and masturbation. i will work for money.

numb your mind becoming familiar playing the same thing over and over

I've got it down to switching between playing dark souls 1 and one level of l4d2 versus mode repetitively

Sounds like the girl didn't stick because you were unable to form any mental connection with her.
Be her drama so there's something she can hang onto and stay occupied with. You don't actually have to be a piece of shit for that, just don't be a robot.

who said you have to wake up at 6? it's not like work is torture. 99.5% of people who have lived, have worked

>not bf
lmaoing @ u
its like you ENJOY wasting money

Depression sucks. It's 2am, I haven't eaten a thing since about 24 hours ago and worked all day. No appetite. No drive to do anything but sit here and look at Sup Forums.

>or you're interviewing like shit

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.

You're basically destined for homelessness if you can't convince someone you're better than the 99 other people he's talking to that day.

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.

Also, play Animal Crossing (GCN).

>tfw pretty sure best friend tries to come onto me
>too insecure to understand the idea that another person would find me desirable
>not sure what to do since i am of ambiguous sexuality

weed alcohol and beans

don't pursue a gay lifestyle, the anal surgeries and all of the other disgusting issues that go along with gay sex are not worth it. Just suck it up and find a low maintenance 5/10 girl

Not even depressed, literally just tired and mentally exhausted.

try it and see if you like it. but make it clear that you're experimenting and unsure before you take it up the ass

Vidya doesn't. Getting in shape does.
>What's the point of getting in shape
It makes you feel like you're not a useless piece of shit because you physically cease to be a useless piece of shit. Get moving, fatso.

just this week just had huge onset of depression, dont know why just out of the blue and like , not even doing anything, just watching last episode of leftovers because thatd be better than watching TFA for the 10th time or w/e
