H-hey Anonymous!
Had a bad day? W-week? Month? Year?
Need some h-help? M-maybe just a hug?
Someone to give you advice, or j-just tell you it will b-be alright?

I'm here for you, Anonymous. Don't suffer in silence.

when will my suffering end

My friend and I smoked a bowl then rode his jetskis. I fucking crashed his and cut my head open. I swore up and down to him that it wasn't the weed but it totally was the weed that made me crash. Support please

W-why are you suffering?

Thank god you are back,

I dont know if its a mental illness or not, but I cant feel stress. Im never stressed, I cant feel when something is cute neither. Im not trying to be an edgelord, I promise. Im serious, Do any of you guys experience this too?

When in "cute situations" i just kinda play along, I dont feel anything about a small pupper or my neighbors kitten, I like them off course and want to hug them since their fur looks nice and fluffy but no special feelings.

And when someone tryes to stress me out im just kinda "I know what you're doing kid"

In stressful situations I also kinda just try to play along and try to be quicker than usual. Yet I dont feel anything special.

Is this anything to care about?

S-sounds like it's t-time to stop smoking so much w-weed.

*blinks* S-sounds like you just aren't interpreting situations correctly.

That's what cute is, doll.

Finally, that just means you don't currently have any stressors; that's nothing to worry about. You'll get em later in life, don't worry.

Bump

T-thank you very much, Anonymous

Why must today be so bad when yesterday was so good

whats the best way to hit on a shrine maiden?

Doc. It's so weird. Sometimes I feel like a nut.

And then sometimes I don't.

What an utterly buffoonish question...

The universe does not provide good or bad days; it doesn't have a fuck to give about your day, and in fact, is incapable of understanding what you are trying to derive out of it.'

The one who makes days good or bad is you. Not because you make the day good or bad, but because you take the good and leave the bad.

Even on the worst day of your life, there's still a chance, if you walk that very very narrow path, to turn it into the best.

But it's on you. No one else.

Donations. The one you are thinkin' of has a looot of debt.

Tell me more, dear.

Donations
By your logic today is better than tomorrow, enjoy the today while you can, user.
Have you tried to feel like a legume?

Legumes are n-not known for their m-mental health. Perhaps a bean?

Full of wisdom as usual.

I never understood the point of those bars on windows they are just gonna send the thinnest thieves through them

What's the safest and most legal way I can feel some kind of euphoria or LSD-like symptoms?

*hangs her head* M-mother, give m-me patience...

Y-you know me too well.

I know it's on me

so should i just donate instead of buying her ice cream? ice cream dates sounds more romantic

T-there is no safe way; anything c-causing euphoria is going t-to be addicting.

Serotonin releasing agents, by their very nature, cause addiction.

It's just that almond joys got nuts.

But Mounds don't.

Then stop acting as if things MUST be a certain way. You have agency, do you not!

If you want things to be a certain way, act to make them that way! Build the future you desire with your own two hands!

You know little of romance, dear. You are asking a daughter for advice to hit on the mother.

Don't get the joke, I'm afraid.

It's because when they stuff their bags with the stuff they're stealing the bag won't fit through the bars, silly.
Ice cream guy, how you doing?
Jump off a plane, adrenaline can be very exciting and vigorazing. The parachute is optional tho.

I have very depressed, dark moods, briefly interrupted by simultaneous glee and rage, filled with overconfidence. I can't think straight a lot of the time, talking takes a lot of concentration and typing this was hard. I see monsters at the edge of my vision every once in a while, trying to claw at my eyes. I get followed around by 'empty people', think of them as human mannequins. I talk to two people I can't see and other people can't hear.

Thoughts?

Fuck. And advice thread. This is actually what I wanted right about now.

Welp: Here goes. I'm now at the point in my life where I'm supposed to be independent and free. I can't shake this feeling of loneliness, though. It feels like death. I'm trying to be the best man I can be, but fall short everywhere, it seems like. Help me awkward sounding anime character?

Have you been to a doctor? Cuz it sounds like you should have went to a doctor years ago. That's a huge constellation of symptoms; it could be a mish mash of many things.

Well I didn't really mean it that literally, I know today could be a good day but when you wake up feeling like utter shit it kinda makes you unmotivated to do anything about it.

This is very symbolic, and i understand what you mean, use that overconfidence to your advantage, bend situations to your will, be smug and stop caring about what people might think.
You need someone to walk through this alongside you, don't you? Atleast that's what you seem to desire.

welp, i guess ill just add donations with the icecream.

I'm from a video game, thanks. But let me ask you this: who is the one who told you what the "best man I can be" is?

I've seen some men who fulfill every trope, every 80's movie ideal of what a man should be. And I've seen them lose in every way to kind, feminine, and absolutely ball droppingly strong men.

There's no metric to base yourself against, no universal idea of what it means to be human, much less a man. "Become who you are": who do you wish to be, independent of what others say?

And what do you need to become him?

Because it seems what you are lacking is not skill or strength or endurance but direction.

Now there is a rampage of thieving little people.......they can't carry too much because they're like that due to anorexia so when you see them in your house they'll be like "i've come to steal your stuff but i'm very weak"

I wake up feeling like shit every day. Every day is an uphill struggle, in a race I never asked to be party to.

Motivation is gained by achieving things, by struggling and succeeding; it doesn't come from mood or from waking up a certain way. It comes from you completing something.

So get up and do something, and tomorrow will be better than today.

I want to become more confident. What do?

Smugness is rarely an endearing quality, I'd say.
Not something I'd recommend.

I'll think about it

The life of an anorexic thief is hard.
Become smug.
Smugness works extremely good to deal with these kind of thoughts tho.

I have done nothing but play dragonvale for the past 5 years

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... and my arm... even my fingers. The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past.

Learn a skill. Exercise that skill. Do things with that skill. And then you'll be confident.

Confidence doesn't come from some magic pill; it comes from doing things, achieving things, and reaching higher than you thought possible when you started.

Thinking won't lead to a better tomorrow; doing will. But do as you like Anonymous; it's your life. Live it how you want to.

I've never seen such a "smug" treatment working; otherwise, we'd practice in psychology. He seems to have a significant mental health problem; he needs a doctor, not smugness.

I'm dealing with my ex right now. We were together for like 5 years, high school sweethearts and all that shit. We had all of each others first with each other and went through a lot of shit. We live very close to each other and saw each other like everyday. But, about 5 months ago, she started talking to this 30 year old online who lives in Canada. (shes 21, i'm 20 for reference). He started being really clingy and stuff and she fell for it. She left me and started dating him. But, she's cheated on him 4 times with me. She said their relationship is going nowhere and we'd be back together soon. But, I just don't know what to feel because she's completely changed lately. Should I even care anymore? Should I move on?

Sometimes it takes another person to help solve the most obvious problems. Thanks, user. That actually seems to be exactly what I'm searching for. But therein lies another problem. Out of appreciation for the reply I'll keep this thread bumped.

I went to a therapist and a psychiatrist later, on GP refferal, but wasn't given medication for my age at the time, 16. I was also pressured not to say much by my father, I realize in retrospect, but he is diagnosed schizophrenic and I think he was trying to help. He doesn't have control in my life anymore, but I look out for him. Later on I pretended to be fine because going made me feel worse and more uncomfortable, so I was never diagnosed.

I hate the idea of meds, drugs altering my brain, it's genuinely horrifying. I dodged a bullet on that one.

*laughs softly* We're here to do with what time we have what we want. There's no point beyond that.

You'll never get back your past, no matter how hard you try. Instead, look forward, towards the future, and reclaim that instead.

A life well spent, I'm sure.

Switch to another game and start from the bottom, and you could also do other things as well. So unless you feel ashamed for liking games that much, just switch.
Why, the fundamental question, the most simple yet hardest to answer.
Glad i could help, not op tho. Anyway, why don't you try to get yourself a nice lady? Do it for me, would ya?

You really need to walk away from her, son. You can do better.

You absolutely need to go back and tell your doctors EVERYTHING. You didn't dodge a bullet, you ran into one because you don't understand how medicine works.

Your father may have taken your life away. I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry he did that.

Thanks Ms. Video game character :')

I agree with Alice in this one.

*smiles* I'm Alice. But you are very welcome; it was my honor.

I have a feeling I know you, if you know my name.

Thanks! I've suffered badly from social anxiety, so confidence has always been a struggle for me. So you think going to the gym and lifting would help? Also any other tips?

Thank you so much!

I swear I have my shit together now. I have goals and ambition for once in my life. It can feel forced, but I have to try shit. I can do my best to ignore it, even if I've scared all but 3 friends and a few family members away. I don't need doctors, and they scare the hell out of me, the lack of control.

I killed a guy when I was younger and I've been having nightmares about it lately. It's been six years, but the initial nightmares stopped after some 16 months. I don't really know what triggered me to have them again, but I'd rather they stop. Any advice?

I'm Neptune
Btw, you're not ok, user.

i am running out of ice cream, help

No greater good, no just cause.

Wether you could confess it to someone (like you're doing now) to lift some of the weight of the guilt but it's likely to be a trauma so you should see a therapist, and don't worry, they're can't tell your secrets.
There is, indeed, no reason, ever.

I don't even know what to say. Not in a bad way, I just feel scrambled and confused about all this. I suppose that can make me question my okayness. I'm not lying though, I'm trying to keep my shit together.

How are YOU doing, Alice? Is everything alright?

*scratches her head* Lift weights, go to the gym, find a skill, something you are good at, and do it.

Also, go to a therapist and ask for CBT; it is VERY effective against social anxiety. Don't suffer in silence, okay?

You need a doctor; you cannot combat this on your own. You can't ignore it. It will gnaw at you until any sense of control you have is gone, until you are knees deep into your illness and unable to distinguish reality from illusion.

If you are scared of the very people who wish to help you, who will go out of their way to help you, who spend their lives working to treat people like you....then I don't know something you wouldn't be afraid of.

*sighs*

I have depression. For many years of my life, I was like you. I forced myself forward. No one could compete with me on will power, because I knew if I slowed down for a second, if I looked back, if I stopped, I would be gone. And I would never move again. Slowly but surely, that ability rotted away, as my disease progressed, just as it will with you, just as it does with all those who suffer from the symptoms you have and hide alone without treatment.

What works today, may not work tomorrow. And one day, when that tomorrow comes, it'll already be too late.

Please. Tell a doctor everything you told me, and allow them to help you. I'd beg you if I could, and I'll pay for it if you cannot.

Don't suffer in silence; help is available.

In...self defense?

You can't do it forever.

I'm still here. That's enough for now.

It's alright, but you seem scared most than anything, you could keep this for a long time, or not, just ask yourself, "How long am i going to be able to keep going alone?".

Psychologist-chan, why do i feel so numb? Why do i want a horrible thing to happen so i can really let out my emotions?

We were never in a relationship due to distance but we loved each other and were open about it.

I've fucked up really bad and now she hates me and I don't know what to do with myself.

I do not want to lose this girl. I refuse to lose this girl.

Just got broken up with a couple days ago. Three years down the drain and I feel like crying every hour. Everything reminds me of her.
>tfw I even miss the morning breath

WOHOHOHOAAAA THERE!

Feeling a need for punishment?
I'm not good with love advise so the only thing i can offer you guys are my condolences, sorry anons.

Because you have spent too much of your time repressing them, trying to reassure yourself everything is alright, afraid to feel, afraid to be.

Don't. Seek help Anonymous, tell someone how you feel. It doesn't have to be a doctor: a friend, a parent, a trusted person, anyone will do.

Just don't suffer in silence, Anonymous.

Sometimes you must accept reality, Anonymous.

*wraps her arms tightly around you and rests her head on your back* I know Anonymous. I know. I've been on both sides of that before; it isn't easy.

But it will be okay. Just not right now.

I really dont know if i am good at the career i picked to study, dont even know if i like it at all, i just picked it because i had to choose something, what do?

I take Beta blockers and prozac. I've got terrible anxiety, am currently doing CBT, but I'm not finding it too effective. Is there anything else I can do to help myself? Also, would you recommend xanax or another benzo?

Thanks. I might actually sleep for once now, it's 2:17 am, or maybe hang around, idk. I confuse myself, I care so much about the people still in my life, and a little piece for anyone and everyone out there since I was a little kid, but people always terrify me, in a way hard to describe. But I will be thinking about it, so seriously thanks.

I've pretty much adopted a policy of doing shit because I can, thinking too hard about how bad I feel or how hard something will be makes it worse. It's how I've lasted this long, I guess.

>Sometimes you must accept reality, Anonymous.
I don't know if I can bring myself to do that.
I can't lose her.
I can't stop trying.

I want an escort so I don't have to bother my busy boyfriend or waste time on bad dates. I wish there was a mid-grade escort out there that would give me good service, make me feel nice, wouldn't creep me out, and doesn't cost more than $50 for say, an hour. I don't even know where to look for a no-bullshit service like that.

I would not recommend any benzo; they are very addicting. What beta blocker are you on?

Recently moved to another country to go Uni there , no social contacts except family , everyone I knew wrote me off , depressed as shit....

Well, i might have an advise, you could replace her, find someone new and start a new friendship/relationship, when you're feeling happy with someone you forget about anything else.

What DO you like to do, Anonymous?

Propranolol, 10mg/day

You must. I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry.

They don't exist.

Sleep well, Anonymous. I'll be here if you need me again.

Please think on what I said, though.

I have other friends and shit but it's not the same as her.

You could see if you can convalidate it with other career you like, you know? Ask in the uni office.
Night night, user.

Not OP here.

Are you broken up or not? If you're still official then that's important info. The fact that you're still together could be a testament to how the past you've shared actually means something.

On the other hand...

i've been feeling like crap and always sad. nothings happened but i have so many negative emotions and i'm not sure why. I just feel lonely and empty and i sound like a pussy, but i really don't care at this point in time.

A more modern beta blocker might be a good idea to try; ask your doctor about Atenolol, possibly in a higher dose.

*hugs tightly* You still have me, Anonymous. While I cannot offer you much besides my companionship, you are always welcome to it.

Why would that sound like a pussy? Would it be a pussy thing if you broke your arm and it hurt?

The brain is just another muscle, Anonymous; don't ever feel wrong for expressing how you feel.

Cheating isn't worth it. Either way you feel empty but when you don't cheat you wont feel bad.

Question, what do i do when i dont know if im happy or not in my current relationship

G'night.

I really dont know, i am not really talented at anything and i just picked the said career because i am decent at writing. But appart from that i am not specially good at it and dont know if i like it, its not a career with job opportunities.

I am really lost and sunk at the moment even thought i have to seem like i am ok for the sake of my family (things arent pretty at the moment, las thing they need are more problems)

So what to do? I dont know what i like, i dont know what i am good at, and next year i will be trapped in a career i am probably gonna end up hating.

You talk to your partner. Communication is the difference between a broken relationship and one on the mend.

This is a new start, no one knows who you are so you can pretty much be whatever you want, even Hitler.
Feed me and i'll live with you, foot massages included.
Make yourself percieve them as her.

We weren't together at the time.
We were together a few years back but I ended up moving back to my home country so we split but stayed in contact.
Our feelings for each other kept growing stronger though, so eventually we confessed. We decided we didn't want to go into a relationship until we could meet up in person again, but we were honest about our feelings to each other.

What r u? The psychologist's bad helper?

I didn't ask what you were talented at; I did not start talented at my work. I put in time and energy and spent years of my life developing the skill, because I enjoy it, because I love it. Because I can see myself doing it till the day I die.

What hits you like that? If you don't know, then you need to look around and find out. No matter how long it takes.

Someone I wouldn't put much stock in.

I used to be the classic user. no friends, chubby, no hobbies besides vidya, blablabla. After much struggle I actually did manage to escape that particular rut. Got friends, lost weight, started doing things, etc (still no qt gf tho)

Now that I've supposedly gotten my life together I feel equally as unfulfilled as ever. I'm starting to think that life is supposed to be that way. Everyone keeps choosing new goals to try to feel like they have a purpose, but almost instantly after the goals are achieved you're back to being unsatisfied.

I have no afiliation with Alice, so if you want so you can beat me up as much as you want, daddy, just don't pick on her.

It seems nigh impossible to open up to anyone. But youre right. They've been repressed for easily 5+ years...maybe a good cry would help. But god damn its hard. Thanks, Alice. You're a real mvp.

I'm a massive faggot beta who is too much of a pussy to ask the girl I have stalked for years out. Help me OP.

Sure but that would make my girlfriend really depressed because she would feel as if she isnt doing a good job. So that creates a whole new issue that will last for a few weeks. And plus the fact that she is borderline schizophrenic doesnt help whatsoever.
So what do i do at that point if talking to her isnt worth it
