/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Medication and therapy.

suicide

Never had depression.

Pic related, really.

After I quit porn and starting lifting my depression has been at a minimum. Try it

No depression here, I am happy with my current life.

with my bear hands

I don't fight depression, I just get sadder every day that passes, I don't even know why I come to /jp/ nowadays anyway. I talk about VNs, Touhou, etc. but I still feel like we have forgotten something very important. But this is not my blog so I'll just say that my depression is bad and I can't fight it at all.

>>9093366
throw your computer over a cliff

start live without it

initally it will be hard, but then you'll never want to go back

I play games and try to get away from my real life and live another fake life

>>9093399
no!!!
my computers make me happier!

If you're depressed, get out of /jp/.

Seriously, after the first couple years of being a NEET, you'll outgrow it. You may feel lethargic and apathetic, but not depressed.

Lurk more.

I'd like to say therapy, but after having to be forced through it, I wouldn't recommend it, because it does nothing.

You just have to force yourself to do what you know will make you satisfied.

Portal to Gensokyo is best solution. Other solutions are just slowing down something that you will do anyway and they bring you more pain.

I watch my funny animes.

>Seriously, after the first couple years of being a NEET, you'll outgrow it. You may feel lethargic and apathetic, but not depressed.

I don't think this is true, it's been 6 years for me, and as the years go on, it seems to get worse and worse.

Stop caring. No matter what you do, you will die in the end anyway. Just stop thinking. Go fap, go play something, watch anime, just do something else than lurking /jp/.

>>9093452
Then kill yourself.

No, really. Not even in an aggressive way.

>>9093452

It's possible that total isolation from the world isn't right for you. You might wanna try pulling yourself out of your basement and making at least 1 friend.

>>9093452
It depens of the person. Not the dude that posted that but i've been NEET from almost 5 years and i'm perfectly fine.

There's been a period of my life when I was seriously depressed.

How did I fight it? For the most part I didn't. I just passed my days between hours where I did absolutely nothing but revel in my emptyness and hours where I just cried until I had no more tears to shed.

In the end it just fixed itself, but I don't think everyone can be this "lucky", relatively speaking.

If you are pubescent it might be the same for you. Adolescense is a shitty age and the depression you feel might end up once your hormones stop being total assholes.

If it doesn't stop, well then you need to seek medical assistance.

One thing that helped me, is that I found something that would completely occupy my mind so I wouldn't think about anything else. But at that time I was already starting feeling better.

Listening to music can also help, it makes you brain work without actually thinking, and if it's good music it'll make you feel emotion that a depression state wouldn't allow otherwise.

Sleep through it.

God help you if you're working or going to school or something like that.

I've been to therapy for 8 years now OP and it doesn't help at all. All the therapists that I've had have been either condesending "it's not your fault anon" idiots or "you have to do X Y and Z to become happy" retards. Tho I've only had female therapists so I don't really know if I could strike a better conversation with a member of my own sex.

>You just have to force yourself to do what you know will make you satisfied.
This is the best solution IMO. I'm really drawn to browsing /jp/ and /v/ since it doesn't require any effort so I often have to pressure myself to do something productive / fun. It feels useless at first, but after you get sucked into a good game / eroge you have fun for hours.

>>9093418

Other way around
Why do you think the NEET demographic trails off so abruptly as age increases

>>9093473
Sleeping a lot makes me feel worse usually. Sometimes I sleep for most of the day because I'm lazy and I have nothing to do, but it only makes me more lethargic and miserable.

I don't think it's possible to get rid of clinical depression. I feel a lot better now but it's still there, lurking behind the corner, waiting for an opportunity to overwhelm me again.

You just have to live with it, till the day you die.

suck my cock,dude
That will make you happy, for a while

During the day I turn depression into anger by trying things and failing. I already had chest pains today after failing to survive in yet another Touhou game, so hopefully this will kill me at some point.

At night I act like a cute little girl on the internet. Can't be depressed while I'm in that state of mind.

>>9093511


Acting like a little girl on the internet really works? I gotta try that.

>>9093485

Pretty sure that's mosstly because they are forced to become normal's.

>>9093511
>>9093523
Acting like a little girl on the internet is something I've always wanted to do, but I hate deceiving people so I restrain myself.

>>9093487
That, or in other cases, depression simply doesn't allow you to sleep well at all.

For example when I was depressed, I used to wake up early every morning, which is something that never happened before and never happened after.

>>9093534
I used to do that. Feels good... but it's not something you can do for a long time. Not with the same persons anyway.

>>9093471

I don't know how else to say it but I drench me brain in music and other activities every waking hour, once it all turns off I either need to be in some kind of random state of happiness or I just crumble under the shit that spins around in my head. Why does my brain do this to me? I hate being stuck in this rut.

>>9093545

Without some purpose in life or a goal you are trying to reach, a soul cannot properly progress forward.

>>9093565

can you plz repost your message without that image, thx

>>9093565

The 5 proves it, listen to kaiba.

masturbation and exercise

when i depress i choose to be awsome instead

>>9093536
I used to have a really strict sleep schedule, because I had to wake up at 6 am for college. I was actually happier then, even though I could sometimes sleep only a few hours each night.

Now I can sometimes sleep for 12 hours or more, and it makes me feel terrible. I have no reason to be awake though, so I just sleep.

I'm not sure if it's related, but I've also lost loads of weight for some reason. I never exercise and I eat terrible food, but if I'm feeling really down I sometimes forget to eat for a couple of days.

>>9093466

Whenever I try to, people are mean to me, and I run away and hide to cope.

>>9093583

Yeah man, I know how you feel. Just gonna have to wheel out the age old response.

It's going to be hard, just deal with it.

I tried to seek help once.
I first met a doctor, who sent me to a psychologist, who then sent me to another psychologist, who sent me to a psychiatric hospital. There I met a doctor who sent me home.

Good luck making friends when you are depressed, they'll surely think it's a lot of fun to hang with you.

I fight it by watching stupid cute videos that fry my brain, like smooochen, or myonmyonmyonmyonmyonmoynom, fukkireta, popipo ... etc
Also, check this out あ

>>9093565
Ugh, I'm tired of people thinking that life needs some sort of goal or purpose. What's wrong with just wanting to enjoy yourself and take it easy?

How the hell can you withstand happy music when you are depressed? I sure as hell couldn't...

>>9093605
Because some faggot Jewish psychologist decided we need to be ``self-actualizing persons'' based upon an arbitrary hierarchy of needs.

>>9093605

You don't need a goal. Some people are happier when working toward something. Some aren't, it's just a suggestion.

>>9093603
LOOK AT THAT BAKA

>>9093605

Enjoying yourself while taking it easy is an excellent purpose to have in life if you lived on a planet where such actions did not affect those around you.

>>9093617

This. But babystep it. EXPERTS have discovered that wanting to be a millionaire or a CEO is shit and will fuck you up. But if you aim to fill your piss bottle by the end of the week, you will be a happy NEET.

It's hard, and it may seem like it does the opposite at first, but get off the computer for a while. Go outside, work out, learn new things. My depression stopped when I went on a trip to Costa Rica. I just learned how to live in the moment and appreciate the small things.

Good luck.

>>9093631

hey man is this you

>>9093631
this fag is wise

Does anyone else come to /jp/ to laugh, like I just like to laugh at my favourite trips and funny posts and I like to share funny pictures with /jp/, it's like with anime I only like the funny silly shows

>>9093631
What is your purpose in life, getting 5s?

beleive in you're heart

>>9093640
Keep up the good work anon. Your silly images make me smile.

>>9093631
If your goal in life to to take it easy then chances are that you don't really care about how you affect anything anyways though don't you think?

Just take it easy

>>9093682

I think he means physically effect for example getting kicked out on your ass.

>>9093643

I have no purpose, but I have a set goal. To put it simply, if my goal is not reached, I will "take a trip" to Gensokyo.

>>9093682

Those who care not for anything care not for life.

>>9093605
Taking it easy is a goal itself.

>>9093660

Look at this one, she has a hat

>>9093706
I see...yeah he's right then. It would be a great dream to have if we lived in a world that didn't demand productivity....which is exactly what makes it such a great dream and a goal in its self.

this needs too happen....

Pretty sure my therapist has had it with me.

meditation.

i recommend it to anyone now, i used to not think much of it but if you find a good guided meditation it really helps.

Listen to Bad Apple. You will realize that even 2hus get depressed sometimes. It's OK~

>lethargic and apathetic

That's what It's all about, actually.

You feel more and more apathetic, until you can't even enjoy the things you usually did.

Just because you're not there yet, doesn't mean it won't ever happen.

Fucking cunt.

>>9094085
Except I was depressed. I outgrew it.

If you're a NEET who sits at home all day and watches VNs and adaptation level theory hasn't gotten you used to what is arguably the most ideal lifestyle a /jp/er can have, then you don't belong here.

In before everyone claims they have dysthymia.

it's a 2hu general, isn't that what you wanted?

>>9093471
I pretty much went through this cycle.

I went from hoping to never wake up again, to being apathetic as fuck and crying randomly at my pathetic hikki existence, to just sleeping whenever I can and engaging myself by means of escapism.

If theres any advice I can give you, it would be this: Don't wait around for someone to save you. Because truth be told, it will probably never happen. The sooner you take initiative, the better. I mean life is pretty pointless in the end. And even though our existence may seem futile, this doesn't mean we should commit sudoku (or pity ourselves, for that matter) in hopes of recieving some type of obscure, nonexistent answer to a question we ourselves, are unsure of.

I do believe, however that life is about pursuing happiness. You don't have to be a complete hedonist, but just find an activity other than /jp/ related stuff that you truly enjoy doing. And if you're offered any type of medical help (pills, etc.) take it. I remember my doctor hinted that I might be depressed, but I not wanting to appear as some type of faggot, would always decline. I don't know if it would have helped, but I assume it wouldn't have hurt to try.

There have always been two types of NEET. One seems genuinely happy and content living a life with a dim future and minimal social interactions.

The other is pretty much the opposite in that they long first and foremost for social interaction. Most everything in their life is governed by their desire for interaction. Following that they would like a promising future, which usually means worrying about entering schooling or training of some sort eventually in the future. Finally, they're discontent with the labels society has put on them and would like to change their lives for the "better".

Disgusting people, that second group. They really are the lowest of the low. Especially all the people here wanting to get a job, longing for friends outside and being depressed about their NEET lifestyle. Just die already if you are so sad about your NEET life.

>depressed
If you cant enjoy your current hobbies with all the free time in the way, either find a new hobbies or kill yourself.

>>9093366
basically by not thinking about it at all. I try to occupy myself with other things to think about.

Read political manifestos. This turns your depression into maniac radicalism.

>>9093366

Not bad enough to sit up and get on the computer, though, right?

Lying piece of shit.

>>9093772

The depressed /jp/ers can't into the power process. The ones who are not depressed either can, or don't need to.

I cannot get HRT ;_;

What's depressing you? Seriously. Is it something life-threatening? Probably not, otherwise you wouldn't be complaining on an 4chan. There are so many people who put so much emphasis on useless things and then they feel 'depressed' when things either don't work out the way they'd like, or don't work out the way they've been told they should. Then they dwell on that single insignificant failure.

Look, you've obviously got a computer and internet. You're able to get food. You're able to get water. Is there really anything else you think you need? What is it? What's keeping you so depressed that you feel the need to come here and whine about it?

>>9094723
just as well, gender is a societal construct so your perception of what being the other gender is like is based on stereotype, and as you have never been the other gender how can you possibly know it is the correct one?

transgenderism is fuck. why do people give it any credibility at all.

>>9093366
I pray to die.

>>9094754
Then die.

>Medication and therapy.

Plus exercise.

I've learned to be happy... I don't know how to explain it, but I think I have an exceptional control over my emotions and expresions. I live the present without worrying the future too much.
The problem is the past... I try to not think too much on it, my father didn't deserved that end, and this situation is consuming my will... at least at the beginning maybe somesay I'll surpass this sorrow. As a tool for being happy I use videogames in general and some exclusive IRL friends that are trustworthy, I can talk about Doujins, games, some Touhou and even 4chan with them without being marked as "weirdo".
Without these 2 things, I would like to die, because I don't have anything that makes my life has some sense. I can't assure this works on other people and sometimes even I get sad and think about all.
TL;DR
Try to not think "How shitty is your life", instead, grab your favourite game and play it. If it doesn't work, maybe you are not even trying enough to stop thinking about that. But be careful, you could get addicted to games with this method.

I hope this will be useful for someone. I really like being /jp/ and I think we need to take it easy more, being happy makes this easier. Right?

Medication, go get some it might be biological and in your family, i cant run away form it. Im lucky im not bipolar like my mom.

It matters what depression you have, if you have the mental illness depression and anxiety where you can never feel right and always get dizzy/faintness, go get help. I thought i had diabetes until i broke out crying and told my mother, she understood what i had though because she has it. I found out i was getting panic attacks all day everyday.
