/jp/ - Otaku Culture

been getting panic attacks and my psychiatrist doesnt want to prescribe me xanax because hes a nuschool pussy or some shit

how do i convince him to give me the goods

I go outside every day and lost my virginity when I was 16.

I stopped taking my meds over two weeks ago and my depression is just getting worse with each day. I can hardly get myself to refresh /jp/ anymore and that's literally the only thing I can do.

I became a job having normie. I'm not even afraid to leave the house anymore or be around people, but I hate everyone I meet. I don't understand how anyone could enjoy social contact. Doing things IRL just made me an edgelord fuck everyone.

>>13821491
Refreshing /jp/ at this time of year will only make you feel worse.

The neet dream is over

>>13821494
How the fuck did you became a job?

>>13821459
You develop tolerance to benzos rapidly. They only work for about two weeks before they are just placebo. If you go off them, say you lost your prescription, then you face a living hell of not being able to sleep (acute insomnia) maybe for days at a time and with even worse anxiety than you started out with. Just don't take anti-depressants they are a band-aide that can legit make you weird after a while. Try some other anxiolytic. However, the two weeks of benzo's effectiveness can be life-changing for the better. It's just that side effects of withdrawal and tolerance make it a dicey drug to prescribe. It also helps to have a llllloooonnggg history of being medicated without improving, so that would give the doctor incentive to bust out the big guns like benzo's and others.

>>13821491
damn that anime was shite

>>13821461
gross

>>13821491
If they're anti-dep's... don't take them. You need to feel the feels and seek help from other people. Reach out in real life to whoever you can, people you can trust and won't bully you over your feelings which can be perceived by douchebags as being a vulnerability. Honestly, read up about Game theory (like, how to pick up chicks). Alot of Pick-Up-Artists have been in your exact situation and only through Game have they learned to improve their self-esteem and deal with failure not as a block to stumble upon but as a block to lift themselves up. It worked for me (got laid for the first time in 6 years two months later). Best of luck anon.

>>13821494
Maybe you're just not around the right people? You certainly can't hate everyone, otherwise you wouldn't post here. Sorry about that, anon. Don't let the bastards get you down.

Crossies are here >>13821544 thread's over.

>>13821507
if you're not bullshitting me about the two week thing, i guess i wont pursue it too hard with him. been taking my mom's old and extremely low dosage xanax that just seemed to calm my heartrate and let me focus my mind on more productive things. ive also been taking insomnia medication and various other sedatives/anti-depressants for years and i believe its pretty in check now, the shitty thing about it is that i tried going off the primary antidepressant for a few days and started having panic attacks in the depression's old place, and i think i prefer the former. i'm totally dependent on the insomnia meds anyway, so whats one or two more?

end blog thanks for the reply

>>13821494
Do you hate your job anon?
Because I got a job, and it makes me hate myself.

>>13821491
I cant give advice (because for me, going off meds made me feel better), but I hope you feel better soon.

>>13821507
>Just don't take anti-depressants they are a band-aide that can legit make you weird after a while.

>Fluoxetine made you think of suicide
>Doc gives me something else
>Chronic headaches and irritated all the time
Pills are so shit. I'm sure some work, but you have to sift through so many bad ones it's not worth it.

>>13821459
I once had a doctor tell me some people are natural worriers and I should just meditate. Some doctors will give you pills for anything, others will do fuck all.

Getting laid? PUA? the fuck are you talking about dude????

>>13821586
>Do you hate your job anon?
I used to until I had an interview somewhere else and realized how easy I had it. I spend most of the day reading wikipedia articles on my smartphone now, but I can't stand the customers. I'm back in college now and the only thing that keeps me going is knowing I'll never have to deal with those fucks again when I have a real job.

>>13821491
You'll get better, just immerse yourself in your hobbies until then.

Alcohol, nicotine, medication. Doing "well"

>>13821544
>It worked for me (got laid for the first time in 6 years two months later). Best of luck anon.

Not everyone cares about 3d.
I could easily get laid, I live in an area filled with sluts and people who get drunk as fuck regularly.
Not him, but what causes me depression is how slow I am making progress in life.

>>13821461
I go outside every day and am a 25 year old virgin.

Even with my paranoia medication I'm still a nervous wreck who needs to keep his windows boarded up. I only feel the need to ever leave my house at night so I have to deal with at little people as possible, and even then that's only for a ten minute trip to get food to eat. Been sleeping all day and been awake all night.

>>13821586
Wow. You don't think about suicide every day? Definitely get off those anti-depressants. They will do you more harm than good. They're massively overprescribed to exploit the placebo effect.

>>13821598
Surprisingly, getting laid can help you feel better. Might want to give it a shot, bud.

>>13821579
I would say go with the benzos then. If you have that much of a case history then there really is no reason for you not to be on them. Seriously, maybe you should get a different Doc. Don't forget to also get a therapist.

>>13821617
Same. /brofist

Not since dropping my medication and pushing though withdrawl symptoms.

I'm still depressed often. But not thinking of suicide.

I'm not your bud, filthy unvirgin normie! why don't you stop posting and go out to drink alcohol and fuck some bitch, considering you love it so much??

>>13821687
You probably need some social interaction. Do you have a job or like, go to religious gatherings or out to the bars or volunteer? Those may help. People underestimate the therapeutic power of casual conversation to distract from one's own dark thoughts, mostly because they don't know what they have until it's gone. Much like love.

what's with all this depression medication crap
you can't medicate the soul

>>13821745
Medicate this *unzips dick*

>>13821745
Neurophysiology, for people with sick "souls" that are actually just neurotransmitters floating across your synapses.

>>13821756
isn't anyone sad because of how the world is instead of just being sad because they're defective and have no choice but to feel that way?

I'm a NEET but holy fuck this thread is making me feel depressed.

Enough /jp/ for today.

>>13821766
I am.

FUCK the kikes.

>>13821756
Yess, and what better than some pills to fix those pesky synapses, goy...?

I'm not a NEET but I feel about as helpless as some of you.

>>13821792
Its a shame how accurately this post represents all of modern medicine.

>>13821766
Of course there are rejects of social darwinism that resent the evermore vicious, preposterous, and ridiculous society in which we live. It isn't natural in any sense, it is merely about survival of the most conformist to an artificial system. Evolution isn't directional, it's reactionary. So yeah, a lot of people are upset about that. But there are also people who were molested, beaten, abused in one way and another that have legitimate mental illnesses (wounds) that scar them for life. Those two factors combined can make for a tough time on someone.

>>13821772
Enough /jp/ forever.

I'm done. See you in the club, nerds.

>>13821766
me

>>13821801
Pharms have saved me from immense suffering numerous times. Sorry, but that doesn't represent "all" of modern medicine at all. If anything, there are more diagnostic equipment and technology to pinpoint exactly what the problem is and deal with it more efficiently. Mental illness is still a crapshoot to treat.

>>13821843
My point was more that modern medicine is less about the classical depiction of wanting to genuinely help people and more about making money - for many of the physical symptoms of non-mental problems such as high blood pressure, blood sugar levels etc, doctors will prescribe medicine that masks the symptoms without actually helping you to fix the core of the problem, such as eating unhealthily or not exercising enough etc.

Obviously with antidepressants etc there aren't really any physical symptoms to mask and theyre more used as a crutch to help you get through bad times, so I suppose that part of it isn't so bad, but my point about medicine in reference to sickness etc still stands.

i started trying to go outside for a little bit every day, right when i wake up. i think the sunlight helps but it's really hard

>>13821745
Antideps generally just increase the happiness chemicals. Just like cocaine or nicotine, except not as addicting. There's an effect but it's not a lot, they're shitty meds all in all, but hey they're all we have, and they're better than nothing. They CAN make you numb, unable to feel anything, give you suicidal thoughts, give you headaches, reduce your sex drive (yes yes I know, sex, but still) etc. Those are side-effects, and a decent shrink will manage these properly, replacing the meds if needed. The thing with these pills is that the cheap ones cause a shitton of side effects and the expensive ones are, well, expensive (specially Escitalopram, which has very little side-effects). And if you're new to antideps, don't forget that the SSRIs (fluoxetine/prozac, sertraline/assert, paroxetine, citalopram, escitalopram, fluvoxamine) take 2-3 weeks before they even start having a beneficial effect, and the side effects are the strongest in those first weeks, so don't just go dumping them after a couple days. Don't give up, anon!

>>13821907
Try to get some exercise if you can, too! You can even do it indoors if you want. I find that just moving my butt away from my chair once in a while helps a lot with my mood.

what's your favorite midnight snack?

>>13821843
Of course pharms work, to some degree. But the ratio of useful ones to the ones that fuck you up (so you have to take other meds), make you dependant (so you have to keep taking them) or straight up don't work (so you have to try others after spending a lot) is ridiculous. Not to speak about patent bullshit, ridiculous overpricing, lobbying...
Big pharma is out of control, because the current capitalist system puts it in a constant conflict of interests and guess what wins.

>>13821928
Jalapeno chips. Or popcorn.

i'm a neet btw

anyone wanna do neet stuff together

>>13821958
I'm not some normie...

>>13821932
Pretty much the only psychiatric meds that make you dependant are benzos and ritalin, though. You're right that they don't often don't work or fuck you up, but there's no way to tell without trying... and sometimes they do work well. I agree with you that big pharma is awful, but honestly we have no choice. It's big pharma or nothing. And nothing is clearly not working very well. (No, I'm not hired by any lab)

> Anon, you're telling me you don't have a job, or a car, or a girlfriend?

>>13821968
That's cool dude but who are you quoting?

>>13821974
how did you get in my room

>>13821975
the exchange between your mother and myself before she went back to sucking my cock

>>13821984
Whoa that's rude man! No bullying on the jay!

What if you become a normie zombie NPC after taking antidepressants but you don't realize your soul has died because, well, you are dead?
Maybe you'll have a moment of lucidy at the end when taking the first happy pill, struggling trying not to let your ego die against the chemical rape, but you'll lose the battle and never remember again who you really were.
It's like you were supplanted by a different person with your same memories, but it's not you. A person more agreeable by society standards, but not you because you died and there is no fixing that.
Not saying that is what happens, but that possibility is why I'll never take anti-depressants or any psychiatric drug.
Well, those are my fears. The reality is probably something inbetween... you are still yourself but your mood and thoughts are fucked up royaly by the pills and you can't go back to your old depression, which was comparatively better, so you end inside a labyrinth of pills that make your life even harder.

>>13821928
Usually ice cream, cup of tea with milk or cold water

>>13821974
Whats the guy on the far right doing

>>13821932
The materials and methods to synthesize these meds is usually what drives up the prices, which are footed to insurance companies. It's like everyone is having a car accident and there's only one mechanic in town. You would think they would hire more mechanics, right? They do. They're called chemical engineers and they make a shit ton of money.

>>13821968
I've been getting gross bugs in my captcha lately. Google is fucked up I tell you

>>13821971
Having a skype or a steam is normie now? That's news to me.

>>13821990
What if the depressed you right now is actually the zombie NPC, and you haven't realized it? And taking the pill would allow the true you to surface once again? Ever thought about that? That's usually how a psychiatrist sees his patients. Normal people that were fucked up somehow and need the pills or the therapy to go back to being the normal beings that they were always supposed to be. Just some food for thought.

>>13822007
What if you are the zombie NPC?

>>13821998
Skype is normie

Using steam as a social network as is normie

>>13821992
Why do capitalist pigs always have to use bad car analogies?
The solution to that problem and all other problems in society is having everyone drop dead except me, so I can take walks without being disturbed and eat canned food until it runs out. I won't have internet but I can read books and manga and when I die that's it.

>>13822012
Then maybe the pills are the bite that will spread the zombie infection. And I'm patient zero. Maybe we were all born zombies. I mean, we wouldn't be in this place otherwise, yeah?

I'm going to a therapist for the first time in forever.
I'm a bit scared because the last one I had wasn't very useful, she just kind of told me "oh yeah your life is bad but my issues are worse here let me list them" like thanks as if I didn't feel bad enough already! And on top of that our sessions lasted like 5 minutes. No lie.
I just want a therapist who's good at the treatment I need (I went through some traumatic shit and probably have PTSD and the PTSD might have contributed to me becoming a NEET/soft of Hikki but not really one) but after that one I'm scared.
help

i ate some bad eggplant yesterday and i feel sick

i also have to take a shit but i'm putting it off because i know it's going to come out like jelly

don't forget to subscribe

>>13822066
Not all therapists are that unprofessional, anon. Your first time was awful, but that doesn't mean the second one has to be as well! Don't worry too much. And even if you end up not liking her, that doesn't have to be the end. I'm sure there's someone out there who is legitimately concerned with your wellbeing. I know I am. So go forth, and try your hardest! Maybe you'll end up succeeding, who knows!

>>13821456
Are NEET girls skinny or chubby?

I'm gonna miss you /jp/

A black girl hit on me yesterday I don't know how to feel.

But race mixing is immoral and she was ghetto as fug.

>>13822181
Varies. I have a bmi of 17.9. I tend to think most NEET girls look after themselves a bit better in terms of weight than NEET men.

>>13822181
Depends on the girl. Knew one NEET girl who was 300lbs, she was a whiney money-grubbing bitch. Knew another who was barely 100lbs, but was fairly nice aside from occasional anger issues.

Maybe the weight will tell you which kind of NEET girl you're encountering, anon.

Watching tin foil hat shit and building more assault rifles in my basement, then reselling them online. I don't know if that counts as NEET or Hikki as I always go out in my back yard and shoot shit every day.

NEET girls don't take care of themselves any more than NEET dudes.

>>13822223
300 lbs? Was she always that fat?

>>13821456
I have a job and stuff I guess, though I want a lesser paying one so I have to do less. Is it possible to not have any goals or dreams in life, because that's how I feel?

I found a way to make money on the internet, self-employed. I can finally live alone surrounded by only the things I care about. I don't even leave my apartment more than once or twice a month.

It's the mother fucking dream, even though I live paycheck to paycheck. It's the best someone like me could ever wish for.

>>13822272
please teach me your ways

Going back to school and got a job stocking shelves night shift to pay for my girls love comics. Fight the good fight, /jp/sies

I wish this Chris guy would stop filling the place up with spam.

I want to fuck EIRIN!!

Serious question.
Let's say there was a hikkikomori/NEET who lived somewhere near me that would be willing to move in for free in exchange for chores. How would I go about finding them?
