Meditation.
Gamma waves, stuff like that.
Close your eyes and listen.

>>8705164
This.


Or buy some more alcohol. Whereabouts are you situated?

Why don't you go fuck yourself?

I love you OP, don't feel sad.

Relax. Enjoy some quality entertainment, be it animated, aural, written, ... . Mediatate, dream, imagine.
If nothing helps, follow >>8705174's advice, it would still be healthier than your alcohol.

>>8705170
In a place where supermarkets close after 9PM.

>>8705189

You don't have convenience marts?

>>8705189
Stop living in the maritimes.

>>8705191
Yes, if you want to increase chance to become a schizo, have more anxiety. Loose willpower. Destroy lungs. Go take a hike hippie.

>>8705216
How the hell doing what I said would increase anxiety? I find that most of the stuff I listed reduces anxiety FOR ME, but YMMV.

>>8705216

>>8705223
>FOR ME

There you go, inhaling burnt plant matter makes my anxiety thousands of times worse. Keep that shit away from me please.

>>8705229
Okay, fine, but it was also listed last in that list. Personally I can alter my moods without drugs quite easily, but for some they're the easiest way of doing it.

>>8705223
Why you still have anxiety? Because you don't ever reduce it permanently.

>>8705242
I don't really have it, at least not for many years now. There was a period in my life when I was depressed, but being depressed also makes you quite reflective, up to the point where you can just mess with your motivations and drives in all kinds of novel ways (and eventually make all these "issues" go away), although I suppose it doesn't work for everyone that way.

>>8705250
Well, that's cool.

>>8705242
Better than OP drowning himself in alcohol every night getting slower to death. At least he could think himself out of his anxieties.

How about sleep?

>>8705169
>Gamma waves

That sounds pretty dangerous. Won't you get irradiated while you meditate?

>>8705271
Pretty sure what he was talking about was just about neural oscillation patterns - they differ when awake, asleep, meditating and in various other states of consciousness. It can also be partially thought as "thinking speed" or subjective awareness rate , although that'd be a bit inaccurate...

Look through your medicines.
Chances are if you take enough of the right ones you will forget about your problems.

>>8705279
Fuck, I thought he was suggesting to turn into the Hulk.

>>8705191

Alcohol feels better than weed, though. Also, no paranoia or anxiety. At least, for me.

I prefer drinking something that makes me not give a shit about anything, rather than smoke weed and be terrified as I mull over every thought in my head in slow-motion.

It's also a lot easier to get than weed, since I'm 22 and a shut-in.

Whatever makes you feel good, though.

prozac.

>>8705159
a little Xanax or Klonopin will do.

I know that feeling.

I don't know if you guys knew this but my mom just died of cirrhosis.

>>8705441
Have fun with whatever works, although you should be careful with alcohol, it can mess up your health (speaking from personal experience) if you abuse it too much. Might be worth working out whatever issues you have instead of delaying it by getting drunk each day as it'll be more healthy and less painful in the long run.

Cannabis is shit. I used to smoke 1/2 oz each week. People say it enhanced things etc. It doesn't really, you just go into the back of your mind. It doesn't make movies funnier either. In fact when I have been really stoned during ad breaks I would forget what I was watching. It's overrated by people on here and the rest of the net.

Alcohol is better for me.

>>8705466
Someone please respond to this.

>>8705466

Actually, she died of my dick tearing her apart

>>8705474

I agree about the weed, mostly. I prefer alcohol too, but I also get bored as fuck watching shit when I'm drunk. I have the attention span of a nigglet in an inner-city public school when I'm drunk.

>>8705474 I used to smoke 1/2 oz each week

You're fucking retarded.

>>8705563
Watch your language.

I don't know. For me it just gets worse. I'm at the point now to where my depression has evolved into a hatred for everything and everyone. It used to be that I was just down and unmotivated but now I just want to break things and watch everyone die. It's taken 8 years to get to this point. Maybe this is how serial killers are born.

Alcohol and drugs are not the answers. My advice is to do what many people do and try to take up a new hobby or add something new and exciting in your life.

Take a vacation, learn a new language and be original with your life. Alcohol will just make it worse and I strongly urge you to drop it for about a week or two. You will notice a huge difference in your life and will be healthier.

>>8705570
That all sounds fine, but I need SOMETHING to make me forget about college and its pressures.

Sometimes I ask myself why I even signed up for it in the first place.

>>8705572

No that's how fags are born. Get a hobby, faggot. Pick up the arts, do something with your emo shit. Shit.

>>8705572

NOPE

The future is what terrifies me. Getting locked into paying off a mortgage or whatever and having to work a job I hate, feeling trapped etc. That is when the real soul crushing emptiness will kick in. We are all totally fucked and I have no idea what to do. I fucking hate it.

>>8705579
>Emo faggot! GET A JOB!

Really? Are you 14?

I find pets and music/art help a lot.

Online interaction isn't very effective as you can see.

>>8705587
I'll also add I still secretly hope to be one of those dropped out of school but becomes super success guys, but seriously I spend all my time on /jp/.

>>8705579
Are you 12?

>>8705578
>>8705587

Congratulations. You will be soon living the life of every adult.

>>8705579
Oh wow.

How old is this kid?

>>8705572
No, that is just a cynical dick-lover

>>8705593

By that I mean it's normal to feel a bit of anxiety. Paying taxes, rent, car payments and all of that stuff is something that we all have to deal with but if we work hard we are able to handle it.

>>8705593
What do you suggest? If I drop out my entire family will hate me, and I need them to keep up the /jp/ lifestyle.

Like I said, all I want is to take it easy, but I can't. Hence the copious amounts of alcohol.

I live in a shitty country where autism bucks is not an option.

>>8705587

I know that feel. Just remember to take it easy, lie about everything to get your way, and be familiar with your state's welfare system if you really fuck up. Remember, if you just don't do anything, the worst they can do is put you in prison.

Have some MILF booty to make yourself feel better.

>>8705603

Become a cop like I did and then go back to school with them backing you. No family is going to hate a family member for doing what they think is right.

By the way I NEVER said drop out.

>>8705593
Yeah and that is what is fucked. I hate this system, I don't want any of it. I mean fuck, if I had a small house in the country and a friend with me I'd be happy as a pig in shit, I don't want to take part in society or contribute to it in any way. It is mean, harsh and soul destroying and it isn't fair quite honestly. I'm seriously getting upset just thinking about this.

>>8705603

What country are you in?

Also, you sound like me. I hate school, but I'm 30k in debt and 100/121 credits in (I'll graduate with more credits than I need due to being a wishy-washy retard, though). I also drink to forget about that bullshit.

Hey /jp/, do we have an IRC channel? We should all get drunk together on Saturday and talk about 2hus farting and stuff.

>>8705579
>>8705604
Samefag.

Some people have deep rooted psychological issues that are complex and yield unpredictable thought processes and emotions, but that's probably a little too much for you to grasp. It's easier to just call them faggots because that's the cool thing to do.

Grow up.

Drinking will just make you feel worse. That isn't preaching that is simple and scientific fact.

>>8705610

I know that exact feeling. It makes me upset the longer I think about it, too.

I just do the bare minimum it takes to get through each day, and wait for crises to develop and destroy my life. I have a constant feeling that looming catastrophe is inevitably waiting for me no matter what I do.

>>8705625
I agree with you. I'm a drunk.. If I go a week or so without drinking I am much happier and stable. I drank a bottle last night and the next day or so I will be on the verge of breaking down and crying.

>>8705633
If you're feeling shitty and drink you will feel shittier.

If you're having a good time and drink you'll have a better time.

Alcohol intensifies your emotions, whether they are good or bad.

>>8705619

>>8705625
I know it's a depressant, but the few hours of bliss it brings me while drunk are more than worth it.

On to a brighter subject, what are some cheap brands of Vodka or Rum? Anything becomes drinkable with the right amount of mixer, so go nuts.

>>8705641
Well I drank a bottle of Finlandia last night. Not sure how prices are where you live but it wasn't overly expensive for me and it was pretty good.

>>8705641

>depressant
>making you depressed

God I'm so sick of hearing this. Jesus fuck, all that means is it slows down your nervous system. This is typically a pleasurable thing.

Alcohol intensifies your emotions, as mentioned above, thus it doesn't universally make everyone feel like shit. If get depressed and miserable while drinking, there are likely deeper problems rooted in your life preventing you from enjoying your booze.

>>8705651
Hence why you shouldn't drink while depressed.

>>8705641

It doesn't get any cheaper than popov vodka around here, nigga.

100 proof for 750 ml at 9 dollars.

I live in Maine, lots of alcoholics around here too

>>8705655
I think I found something cheaper.

Nadja - 750mL for $5

Only 80 proof though, but still, sometimes quantity>quality, mostly when you don't have the spare cash to splurge on the good brands.

>>8705760

Well, if it's quality you're looking for, Popov doesn't have it.

There are cheaper things, but I'm wary of getting hammered off of boxed wine. The resulting hangovers would be awful.

Fun article to read:

http://www.11points.com/food-drink/11_cheapest_ways_to_get_super,_super_drunk

Sometimes I like to drink 40oz and pretend I'm a nigger while listening to nigger music like NWA or snoop.

>>8705773
Popov sounds good, but are the hangovers really that bad?

>>8705271
that chart is wrong. i'm 90% sure gamma waves go through a few inches of lead. i remember reading somewhere that it takes a bunker built deep underground to stop all gamma radiation. i might be thinking of something else though

>>8705807

Hard to say; whenever I drink Popov, I drink a fuckton of it usually just about pass out. It's really easy to drink a lot of it because of the high proof.

Though, I've never noticed any particularly severe hangover symptoms. It really does taste like a chemical cleaner, though. It's awful. Since I have a taste aversion to vodka from drinking it too fast too many times, when I do drink vodka, I pour it into a little cup with some gatorade and then down it. The gatorade masks the taste better than anything else I've tried.

Rum is easier for me to do shots of. Been trying to decide if I should get a big bottle of rum or some popov and beer this weekend. Granted, my savings are being drained quickly.

>>8705807

Also, forgot to mention, but for some reason, 100 proof popov in a glass bottle is cheaper than 80 proof in a plastic bottle.

I really, really don't understand why.

I always come back to alcohol, even after months of being sober. It's just too much.

>>8705929
What's too much? Western life? Yes it's terrible.

>>8706758

Quitting is too much for me.

>>8705807
Hangovers can usually be avoided by hydrating oneself properly after drinking. The hangover is caused by dehydration, so drink a shit ton of water before you go to bed/pass out.

That said, a Popov hangover is horrible. I don't know what they put in that shit that causes this, but it's the only alcohol I've legitimately had a hangover from despite taking the steps to avoid one. It tastes like absolute shit, too. I'd spend a couple more bucks and get some cheap Canadian whiskey like Prestige or keep it ghetto and rock the 40oz.
