>"i have a rocky understanding of depression and its mechanisms" starterpack

There's a lot that someone who's depressed can do to help resolve it but the point is that the disorder itself removes any drive to do so

The Fall directed by Tarsem is specifically about finding a reason not to commit suicide. Enjoy it, it's a personal favorite.

Enter the Void

Bipolar here

Get your hands on some LSD, do your research, wait until a day when you're in a relatively good mood, and drop it. Write down everything you think of. Most effective combatant to depression I've ever come across. It forcibly shifts your perspective on life by pulling everything out from under you

I'm certain that if research with it becomes easier, it will begin to be used as a depression medication very quickly. Especially if your depression stems from anxiety

OP here

LSD or harsh drugs is something I really can't be doing. The thing is I have tried mega doses of cannabis edibles and that fucks me up but in a good way. The issue is I learn too much on drugs, I'm not the type of person who uses drugs often but when I do I learn something new about life or gain a new perspective on something'

And he couldn't find any at the end.

It was a beautiful movie though.

OP here

My depression is kind of odd and for a few reasons

Basically, I don't use drugs often, I don't watch porn all the time and I try to limit it since I believe it is harsh on the mind. I also am a professional in a field which is booming these days and I do well for myself

I also moved to another state for work and launched my career in a fresh state. One of my problems is I actually work a lot and I'm also not very social outside of the office....

I watched Ponyo a bit ago when I was feeling really down and it helped

not the guy you're talking to. lsd isnt like weed, or other hard drugs. you know how it gets psychedelic with high doses of weed? like you get a new perspective, you get some epiphanies and such? lsd is that x 100

Acid made me get out of being a schizoid. If i did with that condition, you can too. Stop being a bitch

Few things,
1. LSD is only considered a "harsh drug" because of its legal status. 1P-LSD has demonstrably identical effects, yet is actually legal for sale.
2. The "intensity" of the high isn't even as debilitating as mega doses of edibles, but it is a thousand times more interesting and self-reflective
3. LSD is not a drug you take frequently, nor will you feel a need to. Most "regular" users take it once or twice a month.

hey i am suddenly feeling down too, after months of being not suicidal. maybe its because of changing weather? seasonal depression its called i think.

Captain Fantastic or The Beaver

My friend, I knew a guy from work once

He was always odd and a weird guy

He told me one day why he acts the way he acts, he had some type of medical condition and his father abused LSD in the 70s, when he turned 16 he also started using LSD for a long time and when I met him for the short period of time I worked there I felt like it was odd to know this guy. He was legit fucked up and he thinks that acid made his condition worse but he used it for a long time and his family used it.........

>tfw have the complete opposite of SAD
>get incredibly happy and perpetually cozy during winter, general feeling of kinship with the whole world
>get increasingly bitter, anxious, and hermit-like during summer, occasionally to the point of mental breakdown

"Most people with seasonal depression start to have symptoms in September or October."
Thats a bingo

i'm not actually depressed anymore, I have been taking care of myself for some time now and things are really good in life. I just need some new perspective changing ideas or movies..

maybe you should visit Sup Forums and sort your shit

Ouch, I don't visit that place

>Basically looking for a movie to restore spirit and prevent suicide....

Oh yeah, abusing LSD can really fuck you up. My girlfriend used to be really good friends with this guy until he started dropping acid twice a week or even more, and he basically rendered himself a walking shell of what he used to be.

Luckily, that's actually really uncommon. LSD isn't chemically addictive at all and isn't even very psychologically addictive (I'm highly addictive, in fact I struggle quitting daily use of even weed, yet I never once felt any addictive bond with LSD) and it's incredibly easy to build up tolerance to it, also discouraging overuse.

Be smart, treat it as a tool, and it's one of the safest yet most life-changing drugs we have available

robocop illustrates how the flaws in government can't only be explained by the lack of good enough people to operate it.

a government actively attracts the most corrupt people, and rejects anybody who even tries to do good.

bob morton made a better product than dick jones, but the perverse incentives of government make it more profitable to do the ED209 project because governments aren't accountable.

robocop is a cyborg who enforces the law PERFECTLY. when robocop had his sights on those within the government (dick jones) the rest of the cops are turned against robocop and nearly kill him

>my cushy, millennial first world country life is so depressing you don't understand
>living at home not having responsibility is tough you don't understan

>living at home not having responsibility is tough
It literally fucking is, you retard. It's one of the easiest ways to become depressed. The only reason you won't accept that is because you're conflating struggle with merit, just like SJWs are so fond of doing

...

>LITERALLY "living at home not having responsibility is tough, you don't understand"

AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
*breathes in*
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Well its tough when you are 23 and living with parents with just a fucking high school diploma. Your parents hate you and you dont have any social life or money. If your computer breaks you know your parents wont pay to fix it then you have to just sit on your bed doing nothing. its like solitary confinement in jails.

Not actually serious about that, more so looking for (yous) while I drive around the city and run errands while checking on my (yous)

Get an education or get a job? Those are your options, pick one. Just make a fucking decision, it doesn't even matter what

Hackers

Go to community college, get a job, do something to illustrate to your parents that you're working to improve your life. If they see you're making an honest effort instead of just shitposting and playing video games they might be more inclined to not hate you and help you better yourself

It depends on what you mean by tough. Clearly, the lack of responsibility makes life easier by definition, but my point is that it adds to a mental load that can be severely debilitating

Something tells me I'm just wasting my time responding to bait, however

Sorry buddy, I fucked up my life in ways you wouldn't understand and I don't care if I embarrass myself anymore. This is me, I'm on the path to restore my life but good news is I still have a path that works for me. I am actually quite successful and the only thing that will change that is if I start being lazy at work or completely ignore my career.

This is me and what I have achieved this year

New job making over 100k
Traveled to Boston, Chicago, Hamilton Ohio, Denver, Sacramento, Sunnyvale, Kentucky, Indiana, and short trip in Idaho (Business travel)
Met some new people but didn't really become friends
>Tfw no gf
Went up the mountainsfor camping/hiking/ and shooting

Spent some time in the snow and got my car stuck in the snow

I've had a pretty good year, I also realized I started gaining weight and I dropped 40lbs so far

I started at 300lbs, and now at 260

>T-this is me today
I've had a pretty good year

kek, you think miguel alvarez had fucking tetrabytes of porn, vidya, shows, films and anime to pass the time when he was in that metal box with that dyke hack smearing his shit all over the walls?

Why the fuck would anyone abuse lsd for gods sake? He deserves what he got.

im not sure if this is a troll

if you're being real you disgust me for some reason, not being edgy, im being very very serious now. hearing you died horribly would make me happy. again, i'm not exactly sure why. maybe its the way you type, just the way you exist.

people like you only exist because the system is too merciful for pest like you.

What exactly about me do you find to be bad?

I focused on solely achieving something for a long time and once I achieved it I now have time to focus on other pursuits in life and what is wrong about that?

Just hit the gym and cut slowly, that's the EASIEST thing to fix by far. I fixed myself physically ages ago, but never bothered going out of my comfort zone and nothing ever happened.
In the past 3 weeks I've asked 2 girls out, went out a couple of times, and I'm generally actively seeking things that will put me out of my comfort zone. It feels amazing, my friend told me my behaviour is unimaginable when he compares it to the me from 1 year ago.

Yea, I'm actually doing the same thing these days

Life is good and has a lot of potential. I just had to stop sitting on the couch and going outside more often.....

you dont belong here normie.

Indeed, it's crazy how much of a difference actively and purposefully abandoning the "it's gonna suck, I won't go, can't bother with that" mentality helps. Even if I think it won't be good, I give any social activity at least an attempt now, because sitting at home simply doesn't do it for me anymore.

Wild Strawberries..has a realistic and sweet ending, where things aren't wrapped up nicely, but hope and progress is assured

My friend, we are all normies deep down trying to find something

The beauty of life is everyone has their own journey, and coming together we rub a piece of ourselves and give a piece to each other

I might be fat right now, or I might have a little down time but I still remember the beauty of life

I have lived longer than most, I have been through bad and good times, but I still remember life is amazing and the journey needs to be enjoyed today not yesterday or what might happened tomorrow. Enjoy it today and grow as a person

Grave Of The Fireflies

>it's gonna suck, I won't go, can't bother with that"

This actually used to happen to me as well, a long time ago my mindset was corrupted with these thoughts, however, growing up actually thought me to seek the troubled times, and to seek experiences of growth.

I love and enjoy life more often these days and it is mostly because I have come out of my shell, don't look at me or my posts and put your own spin on them. Most will never know what it feels like to grow up and mature on this journey, but the good thing is we can all try and seek the things that scare us

What scares you makes you grow and see yourself in a different light

Maybe LSD is for me. but right now I have a lot of work to do and no time for drugs...

Not that guy, but I think the issue with recommending psychedelics to people is that not everyone handles them the same way, especially people who have mental issues. It's too unpredictable. Just because you think it helped you doesn't mean everyone will respond the same way.

I've only tried them once, and I would never do it again. Despite being in a good mood at the time, I had a bad trip that was one of the worst experiences of my life. It seriously fucked me up for a while, and it probably would have done lasting damage to me if my dad hadn't given me tips on how to handle it a few years earlier. I know I'm in the minority, but there is a chance something like that could happen (especially if the person is already depressed), and IMO, that isn't a risk worth taking for lots of people, especially under the conditions people would be attempting it.

>I'm a 23 year old lazy, worthless, ambitionless piece of shit that expects my parents to pay for needs for the rest of my life even though I'm fully capable of being independent

You are an EMBARRASSMENT to the white race.

Keep up the good work user. I'm sure they're just envious.

Good post, I did give that much thought before posting.

I'd still recommend trying it, because unless you have dormant schizophrenia every one of the effects will pass, but I'll remember this next time I'm considering recommending it

>my point is that it adds to a mental load that can be severely debilitating
This. I'm currently staying at home because I had to be near a state government office to do some paperwork required for jobs I'm applying to. I'm educated, have been employed, and have generally been a normal, functioning member of society for the past few years.

Being here has been incredibly hard on me. It reminds me of the time I didn't have my shit together and has been dragging me down. My parents are also such shitty people that being around them constantly reminds of a lot of childhood abuse. It's almost like I've regressed to being the 18 year old shut in that hates everything about his life again, and it's fucked up.

im doing a 3 year degree from open university man. but i will be 27 at the earlies when i graduate and i know companies dont hire retards from open uni. and right now now one hires me because i've never worked a day in my life. not even mcdonalds hire me.

>implying a movie will make you stop being a little bitch

Man up, faggot. Stop making excuses.

Kill yourself collectivist scum

Learn a trade you fuckin faggot

Op here

You need to get it together, your parents are not actually there to help you with life after you turn 20. Don't waste your life, find a job, find a place to live other than home. Living at home past a certain age is a big mistake since you never have to grow up as a man and you stay in a comfortable environment. You need to move out man

Do your parents really hate you? Probably not, maybe they want to see you make it and achieve something in life while living a productive life...

people are gonna give me shit but I try to watch Trainspotting every now and then to feel better about myself and motivate me. Been in the same situation as Renton many times.

unironically dunkirk

>you never have to grow up as a man and you stay in a comfortable environment
not him but 3 days into any job and I just start crying from being around so many other people

heroine m8? explain.

How old are you?

This actually isn't normal and usually happens because you have been secluded a long time and you don't understand what social interactions actually are. You need to grow up user

The road ahead can be good but if you keep being afraid of social interactions life only gets harder and remember internet is an escape it isn't supposed to be there to replace our lives

The Great Beauty

City of God.

Started doing adderall/coke pretty regularly over a year ago. Watched my best friend go into amphetamine-induced psychosis, and I still think he's psychotic to this day even though we got clean together around New Years.
Now I'm popping pills again and he's drinking like a fish, and I wouldn't be surprised if he died any day now desu://

I'm 19 but I look about 25, having a patchy "beard" doesn't help but to what you said I don't think I'd feel very happy if my only outlet to unwind in the evenings was taken away from me, as soon as I go outside and pass people on the street I just feel as if everyone hates me. I can't stop myself from shaking, feeling scared, being a whiny cunt because I've been like this since I was little when other people can just go out and get a bit angry/irritated/tired when they work with someone they don't like. For me it feels like the entire world is ending, I can be fine on my own for months on end, happy even but my entire view on the world just changes so quickly when I'm around others

>I still think he's psychotic to this day

What does that mean?

>starter pack

holy reddit

as others have pointed out, tree of life is a great one to try

Don't take this the wrong way, but you either fight the bad trip and win or just let go and watch the ride. It gets shit when you're stuck and you were stuck. When i did lsd i was very unhappy, bad trip was on the corner, i literally fought myself and won there.

But it can still give you some weird phobias and such, for the short term(around 3-4 weeks)

I'd recommend lsd to anyone who wants to see more about life or themselves. It's nothing like i did before and i've tried a lot of drugs etc.

I'm curious now, but it sounds similar to my experiences on dissociatives and DXM is easier to come by than LSD

Harold and Maude

It does dissociate you yes, but that's only the beginning to middle part of the trip.

Trip lasts almost 10 hours btw.

>Trip lasts almost 10 hours btw.
6-12hr at the most

*until you go to sleep

It's longer than 6 hours and if you smoke weed with it, its gonna be a bumpy ride

Do you mind typing out what some of these lasting impressions on how to improve your current state of affairs were on LSD?

It's hard to explain. You know what dissociation is, acid makes you look at yourself without being yourself. It only happened for maybe 5 minutes, and made me figure out a lot of stuff about myself.

Psychedelic part of it can get a bit crazy though. I have a theory because of lsd, which is so abstract outside my head i cant explain and i feel bad about not beign able to explain.

Fearless, with Jeff Bridges.

Well this is my issue, I know you're not lying at all but I think it's pointless to be able to come into contact with all these breakthroughs or amazing concepts inside your head if you're unable to articulate in any clear way what they might be. Figure out what stuff about yourself? That sounds like just a feeling to me, a good feeling but it doesn't seem like something you can appreciate outside of the high itself.

Not him, but I think I pretty much hit the sweet spot during my first trip
>one friend to trip with
You end up getting your head so blown apart that you almost NEED someone to talk about it with. When you're tripping with someone you know very well, you will understand them on a level you didn't think was possible. Really great experience, especially when it's the first time for both of you
>one friend to look after you guys
This is great because it'll help you feel safe and looked after, and checking that off the list is pretty essential to a good first trip
>interesting things to do, look at, and listen to
I'm not experienced enough to give any recs but having multiple rooms to walk between and different activities will really help the trip. The high feels completely different every time you change location

Unironically this

Dude keep living this way then. Im not trying to explain it because im too lazy and i dont care much 2bh.

what a nice crisp high resolution image. I like it.
