Hey /jp/,

How are you doing? Still in the same old spot, rooted to your computer, drinking the night away?

Let's have a NEET/hikkikomoti general.
How far will you go just to not leave your room? How much sunlight do you see a week? You know the rules.

>> No.8187919

There's a couple of threads like this already, but I guess this can't hurt.

I pissed in my first bottle last night. Felt like some sort of coming-of-age event. Now I suppose I have one less reason to leave my room, which is nice.

I'm going to my grandmother's house to set up her computer later today, and she's paying me for it. I guess I'm no longer a NEET or a hikki. I've spent a good last part of the week in my room, though.

Maybe I'll talk to that one girl more today ;__;

>> No.8188054

Lately I actually haven't been seeing much sunlight at all. I've been waking up around 5PM just when it's starting to get dark and then when I get into bed around 2AM I put a sheet over the blinds so it blocks out most of the light. For the hours that I'm awake, the sheet is removed.

It's 11:20 AM right now though. I've been in bed since 3AM and I'm hoping that I can shift my sleep schedule a few hours down the line to wake up earlier in the morning, atleast past 1AM. I figured the longer I stayed up, the more likely I could sleep into the early morning. I'm also figuring 12 hours of sleep to be the optimum amount of sleep for this endeavor. Any more and I may not be able to do it (although I've never tried sleeping longer than 12 hours), and any less and I may be too tired when it's time to get up.

My mother has been living in my apartment because it's the closest place to the hospital she can sleep in during her radiation therapy.

Too bad my apartment is just one room (save for kitchen and toilet) and my bed is next to my computer, so she has a perfect look of everything I'm doing. Good thing she doesn't seem to mind.

I can't even masturbate at my leisure, I may get, like, half an hour once a week, since my mother is a bigger hikki than I am.

You have a pretty good selection of alcohol no matter your price range. I used to think the only cheap alcohol available was cider with names that were always "White [Something]" for some reason. I was looking around for other stuff and that's how I discovered the wonders of cheap wine.

It did for a while, but then I realized that we'll never hear about the majority of them ever again. It's their fifteen minutes, and when it's gone, it's gone for good.

I sometimes do wonder, though, why we never hear about them much afterwards. I imagine they're working a relatively average (probably slightly above average) 9-5 job somewhere, perhaps doing better than we are in some ways but still stuck in the same wage-slave drudgery that almost everyone forces themselves into at some point.

>You're too concerned with the material success of other people.
Possibly, but my point was more that most of the things we do in life are transient, even the achievements of others that might seem greater than our own when we see them. In general, people (including us) live somewhat average lives with occasional ups and downs that mean little in the overall picture. Looking at things this way is more an exercise in perspective than anything else.

No this is happening to me too. Are the days going by really quick, do you feel disconnected? Do you want to do something, anything but everything seems hard and a waste of time in the long run? Is this and the internet the only place where you can even put your thoughts down? Are you not unhappy as long as you don't think about the future?

I think that we might be depressed, and we are suppressing it.

listen you stupid fucks.

i posted guide about getting disability under the trip

UncleRemus.

my method absolutely works. Thread was archived so go look for it

the gist of it:

study all you can about your "disabilities" get institutionalized, show all the common symptoms and you'll be fast tracked to receiving SSI bennies,

i get $1000 a month. Full health, full dental, the state would pay for the majority of my rent and i could get food stamps if i wanted to. They even have a work program that allows you to hold a job while still collecting benefits.

Never bothered with the last thing since i really am crazy.

I just got home from a camping trip with my imouto, her husband and another couple with a loli. I had planned to stay in all weekend (like every weekend) but I went because I figured games and anime will be here when I get back.

I had an okay time I guess but I hate doing things with people because I'm socially awkward as fuck and I feel bad for not knowing how to have a good time with other people around. Usually when I go out for an extended period of time or come back from a trip I get a sense of perspective of how much living like a hikikomori all the time, day in and day out with no purpose whatsoever is such a bad way to use what little time I have, I've wasted so much of it on bland memories that just blend together with nothing sticking out. But I'm rambling. I love being hiki most of the time but when I can see my life from another angle and compare it to other peoples lives and what they've been through/seen/accomplished I can't help but feel how shitty my life is.


This feeling almost always passes within a week when I get back to my room and stop having social contact with other people. I wish it didn't.

In my case the first doctors you visit were very lively and asked you lots of questions. First "So what's the problem here?" and then they just keep coming up with follow-ups to whatever you said. There are a few universal questions though, like "How's your relationship with your family?", "When did your problems start?", and similar general shite.

The real deal psychiatrists you visit later are different. They ask short questions and then watch you babble on for as long as you can. It's quite intimidating, but I suppose they want to study your behaviour and all that, and then they shouldn't get in the way. So they keep quiet, and they seem very observant and critical. Be on your toes.

If you do "well" you might get committed for "Observation", and that's when the real stuff begins. Here's when you have to shine with your autism. Act aloof, scared, confused, impolite and all other symptoms for whatever ailment you're pretending to have (Depression and social anxiety, I assume..). The subtle things count.

Can shut-ins with social anxiety get disability? Just read the archived Uncle Remus guide, but I'm not sure if I should be faking additional illnesses or just go with the problems that I really do have.

Had to be pulled out of highschool and homeschooled because of anxiety, barely have left my house in five years, don't talk to anyone aside from immediate family, never had a job, and I have a huge trail of prescriptions for depression and anxiety, everything from zoloft to benzos.

Will this be enough to get disability or should I try to fake an illness? Figured I'd head to the hospital in a few days and try to get committed to suicide watch like the guide mentioned, but I'm not sure if I should do anything before that.

Then a "new" employee came and tried to strangle and punched me. He probably couldn't stand my autism at job while being successful.

It's been 3 months since the trial I started against he and my former employee/company. Couldn't get a job since then, have been playing games, drinking, smoking, and getting high almost every day. I gave up about getting a new job, I'm depressed and I don't give a fuck.

Sometimes there are thing like playing Metal Gear Solid or watching House MD that pumps me to do stuff and go out... but I always fail.

My plan for today: clean my room, get high on Adderall and Gabapentin, and play Little Big Planet 2. Maybe I will try to do a map.
