Now op I feel even more like a cunt because I have no reason except anxiety and looks. I'm a decent athlete but hate when people call me that. Just a lack of motivation I guess?
John Wright
don't feel like a cunt, no reason to everyone deals with stuff in their own way
Connor Williams
My story is short and common 20yo I'm fat Even if I'm smart and rich I'm kinda anti-social Had a few girlfriends, never had sex with a girl
Henry Peterson
my suggestion is to try going to bars with friends on the weekend and just try to make some girls who are friends for a base then ask them if they know anyone whos single, easy way to get a girl
Parker Cruz
i need the sweet pain of heartbreak we all die alone
Dominic Hall
Thanks for trying, but all of my friends prefer to smoke weed in woods instead of drinking in bar. I could go alone, once I did and met a girl who was wanted by police. But yea, maybe you're right, I'll think about it
Jackson Price
indeed we do but we can try and enjoy ourselves as much as we can before we go, you should at least try it man what have you got to lose?
Dominic Ross
Holy shit op...
Ryder Jenkins
>indeed we do but we can try and enjoy ourselves as much as we can before we go
i do that
i dont know if its even depression, even if it runs in the family
i just want peace inside
Caleb Edwards
I'm not depressed, but for a few years I believed to be, for petty shit. Basically the whole stupid "hey I'm a virgin and I'm old and my skin is sandpaperish and the people around me wouldn't be there if I didn't help em".
Then I met genuinely depressed people and it's so hard for them it's almost contagious. It's as if they have a cancer that you cannot cure. That makes me not any less fucking sad.
Grayson Parker
that's pretty fucked OP
Asher Cooper
>reuinited with them kek
Jace Lewis
You don't always need reasons to develop depression and anxiety. It's an illness that can strike anyone. There is also a major genetic component

>head injury >vision/memory loss >ptsd >confusion, can't trust vision or memory anymore >xanax sucks but take it for sleep >smoke green during day, do kk >opiates once in a while for fun >spend most time in dark room playing vidya, too bright outside >waiting to die
Maybe not depressed, but things could be better. However I understand I am very lucky and there a LOT of people out there who have it far worse off than I do.
Also, PTSD and short term memory fucking suck. It is worse than it sounds, is more disruptive than my vision loss, no shit.
Short term memory loss is a real bitch. Makes me look/feel stupid sometimes cause I forget wtf is going on. Reality bends, it shifts I sorta just have to go along with it.
Hunter Gray
yeah i fucking hate myself and my life but what are you gonna do it'll come with time but you have to work at it everyday I'm sorry man I hope things work out for you yeah I know I wake up from a nightmare to a bigger nightmare. hey I don't know what comes after death but I'd do anything to see them again yeah I understand that I've been in a mental health ward before and I know it can happen to anyone and its sad
Gavin Wilson
>it'll come with time but you have to work at it everyday i know m8, ive been doing this for 15+ years now
thanks for the words though
Isaiah Clark
what caused the head injury? did this also cause the ptsd?
Grayson Carter
A chemical imbalance. Easy.
Hunter Hill
Don't an hero.
Bentley Murphy
I'm sorry to hear that Sup Forumsro I'm glad your keeping yourself busy though do you work or anything? sorry man im not the best at giving advice serotonin?
Charles Miller
>what caused the head injury? stroke, second one I've had, at age 38. First stroke I had at 21 ish but there was no permenent damage.
PTSD because change occured overnight. Woke up at 2 am puking my guts up, passed out, woke up again with my RL interface all fucked up. Was so confused about what was happening it took me two days to get to the ER.They lumped me in with head injury cases from car wrecks and soldiers with head injurys.
I used to scoff at at stuff like "social anxiety" or anxiety in general. I take that all back. If a person legit suffers from anxiety or depression, it sucks. Xanax works great for sleep and panic, but is SUPER BORING. Flattens me out to the point of suicidal boredom. Especially since I cannot do a whole lot cause I cannot see great.
Pot is better. I can enjoy things again, I can live in the moment again. Sure I need the xanie to sleep and maybe for emergencies but that shit is dangerous. Benzos ruin lives.
Jace Harris
>do anything I think you know what you should do.
Aaron Perry
>I'm sorry to hear that Sup Forumsro I'm glad your keeping yourself busy though do you work or anything? thanks bro. No I am disabled now. Worked my whole life till this happened. Taken out of the game immediatley.
I do a lot audiobooks though, and can handle some vidya, and have friends around me. The best way I handle my shit is >I don't have to do anything
The govt. says so. I'm fucked up, will stroke again, likely soon. It's all about safety. I don't put myself in any sort of position where anyone can get hurt cause I cannot see well or because I get confused sometimes.
The point of my life now is to enjoy it however I can until it ends. Which honestly, has not been too bad. As shitty as all this has been, the last two years ish have been spent doing what I want to do. with the people I want to do it with.
Life is short my friends. Don't take it, or your facilities for granted. It is cliche, but it's cliche because it's true.

Sorry to tell you this, but now you've actually got the responsibility of living the lives they couldn't live. That's how it works
James Sanchez

Oliver Wright
love of your life when you're 14 ? damn man, there will be others...
an hero to be with them ? their aint nothing after this. you an hero, the abusers win. again.
best thing to do is move out, move on, move up. find someone or something else to care about. dont wake up in the morning thinking about the past. fuck the past. the only one that can make a better future for you is you.

>i see, im sorry user but i hope things get better, is there any chance you can go back to work?
real unlikely. at least no job that I could support myself with. I used to work as a marketer for a distribution co. No way could I do that now...
I'm not really interested or worried about it. I've been paying into ssi my entire life, this is what it's for. inb4 >hur dur youre taking your grandmas ssi No, I've been paying into it, it's mine, that's what the system is set up for. I have a few years before I become a "monetary drain". Maybe at that point I will finally end it.
Until then, no, I don't work. I cannot. It would be unsafe for me and others around me. At least there is no job that I would be able to support myself with that I could handle. Sure theres a lot of >show up and stack hangers type work for people with disabilites, but that's just to get them out of the house. My disability came later in life. I've done all that. I feel no need to "get out". I ok right where I am.
Strokes ALWAYS get better, in that the person "gets used" to the function loss. But no, it's brain damage. That stuff doesn't really fix itself. Not worried about it though. Have gotten better at using my vision, also, not making any long term plans cause prolly won't be around a whole lot longer.
It's k. This is just MY scenario. There are billions of us experiencing life, we all get it, in the end. As I mentioned there are tons of people out there who have it far worse off then I do, and I know it. I kept my good looks, still get laid once in a while, and have some things to look forward to, so its cool. And I have a great family. Many people don't. I am thankful for what I have.
Benjamin Jackson
understand that 100% understand that but she died because I was selfish we we're in hospital together i havent felt the same level of connection with anyone since and it really sucks, im not killing myself to be with them, i know i need to move out but im 19 I can't support myself at the moment...i don't wake up in the morning thinking about the past but when it alone i cant help it
