a dating sim because it will finally tip you over the edge when you get rejected and youll blow your brains out

Irisu Syndrome. Don't look up much about the plot or the characters, or you'll just ruin it for yourself.

this is actually a great recommendation

Sudden Strike 2 or Battles of WW2: Stalingrad.
Thinking how the good guys keps fighting even while being chased back by the whole world makes the sorrow wash away, somehow.

Russian roulette

Pokemon

War Thunder

Literally saved me from suicide, desu.

Persona 3 of all things got me through a rough spot

I have tried it before but I suck absolute ass at it.

You sould probaly stop playing games go drink a glass of water exercise and then get a good nights rest.

I think you need something short, something that doesn't require a lot of investment. Why not try some flash games?

dota

Brutal Doom

None and exercise

Bloodborne and Dark Souls

This doesn't always work.

yeah. getting shot from the other side of the map by a faggot with a russian tank who blows you up with one shot really is going to make a depressed person feel better.

switch sadness for anger.

>implying sit around and looking at a screen for hour will help.

soma

If exercising won't make you happy, what's the point of expending that energy? I don't think you've been depressed before.

kinetic visual novels or things that you don't have to do any work or stress over if you're messing up. just something to draw you in and make you forget. I hope you feel better. sleep also helps me a lot because you can't think when you're sleepin and it eats up time, and you usually feel a little better when you wake,

try katawa shoujo. i know it's not technically a game, but it really helped me out when dealing with my own physical disability. helped me come to peace with it. it's also a pretty comfy and relaxing game.

Slime Rancher.

>exercise
>does nothing, makes me feel like shit, wastes a bunch of time, get frustrated and even more depressed
>sit inside
>distract myself from life for a few hours, maybe I'll be normal tomorrow
Yeah, sometimes it might help. Don't come into threads full of depressed autists and offer worthless input that's no better than "just be urself" you dumb normalfaggot.

If you're severely depressed you should focus on getting help, improving yourself , get help from a dr, medication

Focus on vidya once you're better

a game like minecraft or ark if you just wanna put the depression on hold for a bit

Best game when I'm depressed is drinking a lot, drunk texting one of my exes, getting rejected and then crying myself to sleep.

Katamari

I can't afford meds.

I suffered from sever depression and anxiety for 5 years. The first few years i pretty much gave up on life. I would sit around allday eat junk food and play video. No GF no job no school and started to disconnect from my few friends. Doctors gave me meds and I felt if tho i was going crazy. I started to work out just get out of the house after 4 years. Then started to eat healthy also. After a year things started to come together. Taking care of your self during depression is very important and studys have shown it combats drepression.

You should have Obamacare insurance at the least

You need to go see someone , whether you get on meds or not

Taking care of yourself might help you get through the day, but if the core problem still makes life insufferable, there's little you can do but suffer and wait for it to pass.

watched Twin Peaks too, eh?

There are so many games that I could possibly play and enjoy but I'm to lethargic and depressed to try something new.

i'm playing war for the overlord, top comfy

none

i dont want to hate the games i know i used to like

Silent Hill 2/Silent Hill 3.

Silent Hill.

I can tell you from personal experience that depression meds dont help.

Depression is a journey that you have to endure on your own. In the end it will make you a better, stronger person. Good luck brother

Persona 4, it makes you feel like you actually have friends and are important

You can be better prepared for when/if it passes though.

>depression meds dont help
Other people say they do. Who should I trust?

xcom

NTRPG
Thug hero party

Kek, OP wants to escape the pain, not walk through hell.

Oh, your depressed??

Depends on your type of depression. If you have a sever chemical im balance meds might be your only chance.

Meds treat the symptoms, not the cause :^)

Yes.

Persona 4

Your doctor and yourself.

Some meds help some people, some meds don't. It's highly, HIGHLY dependent on your own body/brain and the way it interacts with the meds.

It usually takes up to a year just for the doctor to figure out the right meds/dosage because it's so inexact.

>wake up after 8 hours of sleep
>eat breakfast and have some coffee
>play and enjoy a game for 2 hours
>then get too tired to play or put effort into anything
>waste time on the internet until the day is over and its time to sleep again

Anyone familiar with this feeling? I could sleep all day but I read that's bad for your heart. But then again so is sitting at your computer all day I guess...

And here I haven't even seen a doctor yet. Damn.

Just drink energy drinks my man, your heart might explode but boy will you be ready to frag some noobs in Call of Duty!

This, along with a heapful of New Vegas. In general though, I think that comfy exploration single player games are good for you if you're feeling in a bit of a funk, though you'd have to put aside some time for it.

Something that you can play with your gf like Minecraft.

Addendum: anything that involves a change of scenery, you know?

>senior year of uni
>picked a terrible degree
>zero friends/connections
>below average gpa
I think about jumping off a bridge every day.

Honestly,i n my personal experience meds should only be a last-ditch effort. This is gonna sound like total /fit/fag bullshit but exercise helped me deal with a lot of shit I'd been struggling with for 12+ years. Fuckin' endorphins, it really works.

You could also look into supplements, I've personally had great results with B6/B12/5-HTP supplements. It's not a magic cure but the difference is definitely noticeable.

Get your bloodwork done. You might have an iron deficiency, or even some shit like sleep apnea that's causing you to not actually get any REM sleep.

This. Something similar happened to me and I found out I had an iron deficiency.

They can help if you are severely depressed. Problem is few people who get help for depression are actually severely depressed even though many might think they are.

Pathologic or The Void

"Don't fear death. There is no death in the Void."

Yakuza 0 is pretty fucking fun

NEET life literally kills you, especially if you don't even exercise and eat properly and never go outside, your brain slowly shuts down. And the older you get the harder shit lifestyles hit you.

For all the success stories I've read (with my symptoms), 90% of them involve meds, a small amount involve self-medicating, and one guy said lifting. Another guy on /adv/ told me it went away on its own. I'll try lifting and see what it can do, but I do feel meds are my only realistic solution left, as weird as that sounds.

...

Persona games are good. most critically-acclaimed jrpg games in general are good. also, consider mixing it up with some pick-up games. like a competitive game of csgo or a game of rocket league.

but honestly, look into other things instead of vidya if you're trying to deal with depression. pick up a hobby like learning to play an musical instrument or do research on a workout plan and get fit. doing this along with some vidya is really good on combating and overcoming depression.

best of luck, user.

this is my weekends for the last few years

when im at work i wish i was home and then when i have time off i fuck around till its work again.my weekends are 4 days and that doesnt feel long enough anymore.the only time i feel normal is when i have alcohol in me.

>drink coffee
>tired after

Yume Nikki and the other 2 fangames which names i can't recall

Bravely Default. That's what I played. The music was amazing in that game. Then again, the guy who made that made all the openings to SNK and after learning that, I had to play. Not to mention this concert is amazing youtube.com/watch?v=hrIpuaWVAec

Yeah I've actually been jogging every day. I missed the last two days but did it today along with a 17 minute strength workout that I've been trying to do every day. I am looking a lot leaner but I still got that flabby stomach that hangs when I bend over, it ain't like obese big but I hate it. I hope that shit tightens up otherwise I've been feeling pretty good about myself for most of the day but after my shower I come into my room and kind of feel empty like there is nothing to do and I don't even feel like playing video games honestly. Just been listening to the soundtracks. But at least I have an online friend to talk to though.

My favorite is "lie in the bed doing nothing"

>fire up a childhood favorite
>megaman x
>feel really sad but try to playanyway
>make one little mistake
>hate self
>turn off game after 5 minutes

Silent Hill 2.


I think my full time job will be the death of me. I also drink crazy amount more since I got the job.

and theres people playing it!

If you can muster the motivation to play vidya/toys, you don't really have depression.

Stop trying to be a special snowflake.

Nier Automata, get to ending E.
There's nothing inherently joyful about it or anything, but it might just put you in the right frame of mind to keep going.

>Ib
Ib isn't even an Yume Nikki clone

Are they on here?

That has to be one of the dumbest things I've read on Sup Forums in years.

You can be depressed and play vidya, you probably just won't play as long as you would otherwise and you won't enjoy it as much. Or you might even player longer than you normally would until you realize it's not making you feel better. Depression affects everyone differently and there are different stages of it.

Again this is from personal experience. In my case taking antidepressants made it worse. I was either agitated or really irritable. I felt like I was forced to walk down a narrow hallway when I was on them.

I was so depressed I hit rock bottom and realized how shit my life could of been so I became thankful for every moment I was alive after that point.

>tank battles

that's your problem.

Verdun. You can reenact what your forefathers did a hundred years ago, like repelling the invading hun horde.
m.youtube.com/watch?v=_wrRAFdtCuI

Oh shit it's this great collection again, and it looks updated too, good stuff.

verdun is garbage, which is unfortunate, it seemed like it actually could become something good when I bought into it what feels like ages ago.

Yeah, but it's pretty much the only game of its kind on PS4, so I play it fairly often.

ITT: First World Problems

Why is it garbage? It runs fine, it plays like a ww1 game should and pretty much the opposite of what BF1 turned out to be which is even better, it's even getting a standalone expansion for the Russian front.
