Hey, you! Yeah, you! Lonely guy scrolling through Sup Forums late at night, well past sleeping hours...

Hey, you! Yeah, you! Lonely guy scrolling through Sup Forums late at night, well past sleeping hours, feeling upset because of your lack of human interaction or general depression. We've all been there. I have too, I'll admit. I just want you to know that you're loved. Hell, I love you. You can make it through this. You can beat the torment. You can fight through the darkness. I know you can. It may seem like this darkness doesn't end, user. I know that feeling too. But we can bounce back, and we can do it together. As humans, we're built for resilience. That's what makes us so great! I believe in you. Don't let this rut define the rest of your life. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here, and I love you.

Thanks famalam, I appreciate it. I get too much fake human interaction, but... because it's fake it's the same as no interaction... really it's worse.

Haha, thanks! Too bad you're just an image, posted by someone else. Whether they meant it or not! ^_^

I feel you. Are you an odd man out too?

I wouldn't say it's worse, user. I've had my share of "fake" human interaction too. I understand completely. In fact, it's because of all that fake interaction that led me to being ultimately happier and actual fostering real relationships with people. You're going to be a great person with wonderful relationships, don't doubt yourself.
It's not the image talking, it's me. Sure, Michiru is cute, but it's the user behind the screen who wants you to get better.

Currently getting drunk on shitty (shitty, shitty, shitty) gin watching futurama reruns cause I've already killed archer
I don't want life advice, I feel too far into my rut, but thanks for the encouragement buddy. Always nice to see a positive comment that doesn't come from a huge gaping faggot.

Well, thanks friendo, I like you're upbeat spirit. Maybe I need to be more positive, but negativity seems more true. I'll think about that.

Of course, I'm a cis-gendered white male working in government administration, I'm always the odd man out, but... but at least I'm trying to make this whole thing work. At least I tell myself that.

I know it won't mean much, but I really do believe you can do it. I'm not just saying that, user. I know you can get out of your rut. I know you can become a better person afterwards. Even just knowing that you're in the rut is just the first step. You can do this.

It's hard denying the trips of truth. But I will anyways! Picture+timestamp of the OP, or your efforts were as ineffective as a bucket with a hole! >:3

Thanks!
Reading this make me feel good.

Thanks OP

Not OP, but hey, sometimes being different is better! At least you're not as mentally ill as they are! >:P

An odd thread? I wish you could help me but I'm pretty content on killing myself now. Words cannot help me anymore I've just been a shell of skin for so long now but thank you for being a good person, really. Take care.

How inspired. Thanks, dickwad :'|

Hey, I added you from the last thread, it's good to see you doing this again.
You're doing a great job with this thread, and I hope more people stumble upon this to be able to seek even a little bit of help.

>late at night

merican spotted.

Not OP, but you sound bummed. What rut you in? Debt? No gf? Is pic related?

I've just gotten out of my fifth rehab, my father died last year, I have no college education, I work a 13 hour shift as a dishwasher, my room is 9x10ft and I live in an unrelated old couple's attic with no girlfriend and one friend. Currently related on my IV heroin habit and paying child support that I can't afford to a woman who hates me for hitting her three years ago. I have every reason to die and yet I cling on like a parasite. Not a day goes by I don't laugh at my predicament. If I can do it you can too.

It is somewhat nice to see anons trying to cheer up eachother, Sup Forums might be a hateful shithole, but most of the anons only have eachother to rely on. How long have you been doing this?

Staying upbeat is how you stop yourself from falling back into your depression. Seriously, it's how I've managed to stay happy through dark times. I know that others can manage it through, and I want them all to know they can do it. It's hard, truly, but it's possible.
Timestamp of what? Me? I mean, I can give a description of what I look like!
No problem, user. I'm here for you. If you're in a dark place, there's always a way out. Trust me, it may not seem like there's a clear answer, but it all resolves as long as you're willing to make the effort.
You're very welcome!
user, please listen to me. Don't do it. From the bottom of my heart, I cannot stress this enough. Don't kill yourself. I love you. It may seem silly of me to say that, but I know what you're going through. I may not know the pain you suffer, but I do know that any amount of pain doesn't equate to losing a human life. Please, don't do it. There are solutions. If you'd like to know what I've done to help myself, I brought out my inner creativity. I would fall asleep each night thinking of a new world to create. I would create characters, nations, conflicts, resolutions. It would keep me so occupied that I'd forget the bad thoughts and I could actually fall asleep. You can perhaps try that too. It's simple, but it was effective for me.
You are very welcome user, I hope you have a good night.
Glad to see you stopping by, thanks for the reply!
Yes, I tried to include the most amount of relatable variables as possible, I apologize if I seemed too presumptuous.

Thanks OP!!
I don´t feel alone now!!

I've got a girlfriend, no debt. Just an unemployed rather average dude with not much to complain about, really. I love people, or rather I hate being alone, but I lost all my friends moving out of state when I got kicked out of my (decent) college. Don't complain on here ever except in mopey feels threads, but it's nice to get it out.

I'm truly sorry about the predicament you're in, but it makes me ecstatic that you're sticking with it. I gets better user, I promise you. I love you, and I wish the best for you.
I started a thread exactly like this at the same time of night a few nights ago. It lasted from 4 am to 11 am. I didn't leave my computer until I replied to every person who needed it, and I'm going to do the same tonight.
You're welcome, user! Have a wonderful night!

...

God pic is so fucking related.
I had such aspirations. Everyone was so sure I would succeed my whole life... when I was in first grade I was the kid who would read to the rest of the class, you know? Easily the smartest kid in my grade. Then... I dunno, man. Psh. This faggot's tearing up

A description... There's no proof that that's what you actually look like. I feel your encouragement... It's just emulated. For all I know, you could be an AI. That would make me feel even more alone than I already am. Pretty please? For me?

Whatis your name? I kinda like knowing the ones who make these sort of threads, I actually help in these type of things.

Thanks, guy. Nice thread. Happy 5 AM.

I know it can be done, I've been doing it for so long now and honestly man for some of us it just seems like a flat line. I've dreamt of sleeping forever only to wake up and be filled with disappointment. I've gotten tired of being disappointed.

Is it a good thing or bad thing I gave you feels, user? I hate aspirations to, but. Think of the world without them. We'd all be the same. We would never advance if there weren't standards to set ourselves to. Even if you fail. You tried. Keep going, you glorious bastard! Fucking succeed in the life you were given! You may have a shit job, but I want you to excel at it! (Also be glad Sup Forums is your go to board, not /r9k/)

I know, right? All this effort I've given my life, being told that all I had to do was work hard. I worked so hard, man. Nobody gave me an instruction manual. I fucked up. My path isn't perfect, I see that now. I just wish I could've made happy idealistic little me proud.

you just made me smile OP
like an actual smile

I'm not the original suicidal user you replied to...but what you've said still hit me. Creativity really does help. And honestly, some of my best creations came from a dark place, and then brought me out of the dark place once the creation was complete.

Hell yeah. And I dunno, I'm a little strung out and waiting for sleep for my noon - 1am tomorrow, but feels are rare these days so.. I like the artist/writer

Do you thinks things are lightening up? How's the future looking? If things aren't really going according to plan, try to just take your mind off the negative thoughts for a while. I like to clean, it completely takes away my thoughts and I can kind of go on autopilot while I pick up trash and wipe the tables. Is there anything you can do that can help time pass and sort of meditate with?
I just realized you may have been sarcastic. In that case, my intention wasn't to make you feel less alone, I wanted to let you know that you CAN beat your depression. You CAN get better, user. I promise you. It all gets better. We just need to put the effort in, and that's the hardest part. But I believe in you.
Oh my. Pull on my heartstrings a bit more.
I've learned that more aspirations and ambitions can come on a complete whim. Spend as much time as you can thinking... Think about who you are, what you like to do, how other people see you, and how you WANT them to see you. You have to find out all that information in other to find your newest ambitions.
I'm sorry, but a description is all I can do, sorry user!
My name is actually being asked? You're the first. I don't believe it necessarily has to do with the thread, though. I mainly just go by Chiru-user, ha.
Happy 5 am to you too, I hope your night goes well user.
I know exactly how you feel. Yeah, sometimes it really does just feel like a flat line. I've had that same exact predicament. It really sucks. However, I want you to know that every day you wake up breathing is another successful day. You're making progress, whether you believe it or not, user. Each day you're alive is another day you can use to better yourself. Don't take advantage of that, okay? I believe you're a strong person and you can handle this. I love you, user.

Your path may not be short, or straight, or even there. It's your work to create that path, user! He'll be proud when he sees you never gave up! You won't let him down by not living up to his standards! At least you'd be honest with him, and not be lying to him...

I like artist/writers too, user! I used to have such a passion for literature and writing, even though English wasn't my first language!

Yeah, actually. First user you replied to. Life's not the worst, but you know that state your mind gets into around 3-5 AM when the feels run deep. Plus alcohol. I've been doing shikantaza meditation I learned from a monk buddy back in the day, hella helpful.

A strong person... I suppose. 3 days of no sleep a bottle of sleeper with a bag and elastic band should make it that much easier to not wake up anymore.

Fine. Describe yourself... ;-; I'm Amumu.

Thank you, OP.

Oh, this is back?
It is nice to see that you are still continuing.

I usually get called just, Nep. Anyway, what is your story? I'm curious.

Absolutely, dude. I want to go to school and get into social work, though I'd never admit that shit here usually haha
Fag degree (it's true)

I just want some Loli right now mang.

You know what makes a great writer? Writing. Creating something is where it's at, homie. Just spend your days writing for yourself. Read. Write. Create. Practice. Hone your skills. If grinding y smithing skill in skyrim taught me anything...

You succeeded, user. You did work hard, and you made it. You're alive, you're breathing, you're moving to the next part of your life. Things are shaky, of course, that's life, but all you have to do is guide things in the right direction. You can do it.
I'm so glad I could make you smile! Creativity is the best medicine, in my personal opinion! It really brought me into the light and out of my personal rut.
This is wonderful advice. Work to create your own path, and make sure you just stay alive, okay?
Meditation is crazy helpful, it helped me almost as much as creating things. When I couldn't move out of bed, I just did a few breathing exercises and would be able to move in just a few seconds. The weight I felt was just gone.
I want you to wake up, user. I want you to keep going. Don't do this. Don't give up. Don't leave. It's not how you fix things. There are people, like me, who love you. I want you to do better and I want you to succeed. I also know that you have the power to do it. That's why I think you're strong. You CAN do it. I promise you.
Amumu the sad mummy? Rest in peace. I'm 5'7, blonde, medium-length hair, and pretty pale. Tada! Description.
You're very welcome, user. Have a wonderful night.
It's nice to see you're stopping by! I hope you're doing well!
My reply here is getting a bit long so I'll reply to your comment again and give you the details. I've got another friend who goes by nep, too. I leave "nep nep" on his profile once every two or three months. Sorry, just a weird little detail I remembered.
Nah.
Absolutely, follow this amazing advice. It all starts with just writing. You'll get better the more you do it.

In any case, are you asking for my story with how I beat my depression, or are you asking what my depression was caused by, or are you asking why I make these threads? Or all three?

kind user I'm lonely

really really lonely all the time

there are people there but i still feel lonely... help...

if not Loli, can I have some pizza please?

It would be fun to have someone do that, my profile is empty, but I also keep a small friends list anyway, so I guess it is my fault. Oh well.
All three if you think that is who you are, I'm also diagnosed with a severe depression, I ditched therapy months ago though.

Not OP, but how may I help you out?

I'm up for a reason actually. I just got off work and am in the car waiting for the defroster to clear the windshield. Stilll, I did need this.

You're a really lovely person, ya know that? It's nice to see some kindness once in a while, especially here.

The clock is ticking. This thread will be long gone by the time I have been up long enough to accomplish my goal. I've got everything I need, now I just need some time so sleeping will be as easy as closing my eyes for good. I'm sorry user, there just isn't going to be any way to convince me otherwise. I guess I'm just here because there is nobody else to talk with, so thanks for this.

...

It is a small thing, but... you made my life a little lighter tonight. Nobody can take that away from you, thank you user, you're doing God's work. Hope is good and bad, it heals and it tears, but... but you're good, thanks famalam.

Can you be my gf pls?

...

fuck you i came to Sup Forums for pure negativity not this weeb trash

Yes, I've been there user. There were people there for me, yet I felt so ridiculously lonely. To combat that, I created my own interactions. I made my own characters and own worlds, and that translated into my writing. I made short stories, I made poetry, I made long and drawn out scenes of various random nature. It ultimately helped me forge meaningful relationships with actual people. I think it'll help if you maybe do the same? If you don't think it'll help you, reply to this again and I can give you more advice.
Nah.
Well, starting with what cause my depression, it was simply a severe case of loneliness. I could not handle how truly alone I felt. It was as if I was trapped in a translucent box, able to see all these shadows and muffled voices, but I couldn't actually reach out to them. I was able to see those around me, but it was dark and fuzzy. I couldn't really talk to people about how I felt, either. It was very strange, and made me feel like something was very wrong with me. I had a girlfriend, and dating her helped me open up to someone for the first time, but she left me after a year and 2 months for some guy in my university's band class. That didn't help either. I got even worse after that, and couldn't even find the strength to get out of bed on my off days (I had class four days a week, with a three day weekend). I worked through it by writing. I wrote every single day about new things, entirely made up worlds and people. I don't know why it helped me so well, but it made me happy. Then I made a thread like this, and seeing everyone else so happy because of me gave me a feeling of fulfillment. That's why I make these. I know I have the ability to help people, and I want to reach out to as many as I can and save as many lives as possible. I don't want anyone to die because of their depression. I want them to live. Every single person.

Aww.

Fuck you too then.

Are you an angel?

I desperately need someone like you in my life.
My life is too complicated to explain in detail...it's just, so much. Here's a brief overview: I left home at 15. I went to college but couldn't afford it so I left to focus my energy on survival. I sold my body to get by,.then I met a guy who abused me and forced me to keep working. I escaped at age 21 and "retired" off 1 of my clients. He was too old for sex but gave me $2k weekly just to visit him. for 7 years total. The catch: he was a truly horrible person.like.. evil in his soul. A true demon (and I'm not religious) I can elaborate, but it would take long. just so much has happened. I was kidnapped twice. Raped more times than I can count... twice by cops,almost brought to Mexico against my will. Went to school again and dropped again. The past 2 years, things looked up. I found the courage to cut off my regular, It feels great to be free of him, but now I'm back to square 1. I found a good man who genuinely loves me and respects me. But he still cheated. I didn't leave him. He's all I have. I have found myself back in the cycle...I'm almost 26 and feel like I'm 17 again. I'm currently sitting alone in a hotel in a strange city, working day and night as an escort because of a recent eviction notice. I hate myself for doing this but I don't know anything else. I got a regular job right before I resorted back to prostitution... but min wage 40 hours a week is still not enough to keep a roof over my head. I just don't get it. I feel so alone. How do people survive? They make it look easy. All my life, I've just been a drifter. So incredibly lost. I don't think I know how it feels to be loved all the way. I don't know how it feels to associate any place or anyone with "home". I just feel distant and lost, all the time. I can't find my place. And I hate myself for breaking my morals for money. I know I am such a good person but the world makes me into someone I am not.

Bump, desu

probably cant

i dont really want advice, there is no help for me
i just dont want to feel alone anymore

I'm glad I could help, user. I hope you drive safely.
You're lovely too! I love you, have a wonderful night.
You're not considering suicide are you? Is there truly nothing I can do, user? Absolutely nothing? I want to try to convince you that it's not worth it. Because it isn't. That's not the answer, it never will be. Please, for the sake of those like you, don't perpetuate that notion. It's not worth it. Please, live. It gets better. I love you user. Don't go.
Thank you so much, user. Sleep well tonight.
Are you the same person from last thread who asked the same question? If not, what an amazing coincidence that you asked the exact same question in the exact same way.
But I love you user!

Please stop denying my pizza rights

This is exactly what I needed to hear today. I was going to hang myself but I think I'm going to stick it out. Cheers user.

Sorry to say guys but being on Sup Forums isn't going to help out your current situation nor is this thread, you're not supposed to gain motivation from another you're supposed to be self motivated so when nobody is there to back you up you have yourself. The talk and replies on here is false likelihood.

/Thread

Hoy fucking shit I love this thread. I love you, Sup Forumsros.

(You)
>Are you the same person from last thread who asked the same question? If not, what an amazing coincidence that you asked the exact same question in the exact same way.

Yes mr brightside

I quotee wrong

Don't care about probably. I will. Give me anything to contact you with. We can talk almost anytime!

Only have thoughts of hurting others, thanks for the help user

Hi user. I'm no angel. I know I've felt pain, but I don't think I can even come close to knowing how you feel in your situation. I do want to offer some words, though. Things may seem awful right now, of course, and things may look like they aren't getting better. However, you are a wonderful human being with a massive amount of willpower. You're still breathing, your heart is still pounding, and you're living another day. It may take a few weeks, or possibly even months for things to look like they're getting better. But there's always gonna be a light, user. There can't be a cure without a poison. There can't be happiness without sadness, and vice versa. It's going to get better. I don't know how, or when. I'm sorry for that. But I do know that you have the resilience to come back from this. You can do it. I love you. You're doing great, even if it doesn't seem like it. I believe in you 100%.

Not him. But I love that song.

uu... that makes me nervous..

Oh, I see, you actually started helping out for the same reason as I did, you didn't want anyone to feel the same way as you did, but my own motives degraded over time, I coped with it in a different way, you actually caught my attention now.

No, I just saw this bullshit thread, reality starts when you close this website and start taking these issues to family instead of an anonymous user on Sup Forums.

wtf i love weebs now

Why would it make you nervous? I'm far from being judgmental, if that worries you... But then again, I'm not surprised I made someone feel uncomfortable by suggesting they can talk to me. ;-;

Thing is most of the Sup Forumsastards in here don't trust irl people anymore, and they'd rather seek advice from likeminded people and whatnot, you get what I'm trying to say?

i ddont want to post my contact info on Sup Forums that's all...

So you are now my gf?

Just here to keep the thread bumped tbqh
Be well, anons

O.O That one flew right over my head. I completely forgot about that! Yikes... How do we fix that?

There's help for everyone, you just have to accept it user. Please, it's going to help if you just let us in. Things always look up, I promise you.
Nah.
I'm so incredibly happy that you're still breathing, user. Please, please, please stay alive. Do it for me, okay? Not the cute anime girl in my thumbnail, but the person on the other side of the screen. Please. I want you alive.
That's like saying ambulances aren't going to help you, you have to stitch your own wounds. Not everyone is able to do that, user.
I love you too!!
Wow, it is you. My answer is the same as before lmao
What do you mean?
That's my steam name, which is what he's referencing. It's also one of my favorite songs.
Your motives degraded? How so? And why have I caught your attention?
Thanks? Lmao
I'm not the user who was talking to you, but you can make a fake email. It's what I did once before to contact someone on a message board.
Nah.
Thank you for the bump, I can hardly keep up with the replies though! Sleep well, user!

Thank you user.. I just need one person who loves me and believes in me. My bf is so perfect in every way... he is so respectful and truly wants the best for me. he made me a better person in so many ways. He's the one who gave me courage to stop seeing my client after 7 years and find a job I can be proud of.... he's not thrilled that I am back to my old ways, but we have no choice to keep our apartment right now. the thing is...he has cheated. so many times, with the same girl. I don't think I can keep forgiving him for the same mistake. But he is literally the only person in my life. i have no friends, no family. Just him. And he's amazing. I do not know why he can't stop talking to this girl... it has gone on and off for months. I just love him way too much to let her be the reason I walk away from him. But if I don't, Idk if he will ever grow out of it. He's the closest thing I've ever had to a "home" a friend and someone who truly cares about me. I would be so much more lost without him. i really don't know what to do. without him, I'd have no one. no one would even know where I am right now. I would have no one to talk to. He is the only contact in my phone. He has changed me for the better...I just wish he were faithful to me. idk if I can take it. Maybe I'm better off alone.

y-you could post yours?

>Sleep well
Um, I'm not sleeping lad, just chilling in a call with a mate, playing some Binding of Isaac
:^)

[email protected]
T-thanks angel-user

Thanks for your supportive words, OP.

Don't be so desperate homie. Anonymous feels are ok, asking to contact someone in a thread definitely not made for that crosses a line

There's no fixing anything, don't you all go posting contact info now.

What would you prefer? My throwaway GMail (I use it for stuff like Craigslist or websites I can use fake info for) is dankestgary31@gmail dot com

relax, he is just trying to reach out..

heyyy now I'm in cali too. from the bay but in san diego til the 22nd. what about u?

Reaching out is to be looked upon with deepest suspicion on a site like this

just be urselfs dudes

I'm not going to tell you to leave him, that decision is up to you entirely. But I do believe that what he is doing is wrong. You need him, and he needs to realize that. I would have a very long talk with him about his decisions, and let him that he's supposed to be helping you get back together, not tearing you down by cheating with another girl.
Sorry, I'm used to people abandoning the thread after a reply lol. Also, Binding of Isaac is one of my favorite games! It's honestly the only reason I own a Vita.
You're absolutely welcome, user. I hope your night is wonderful.
