Who, do you suppose, is the eldest among us? Exactly how long can a person endure the sort of situation that brings them to a place like /jp/?

With every passing year, the prospect of death becomes more attractive. I really don't expect to make it another decade at this rate.

I arranged it, but I had help from a social worker who delivered the paperwork. It's possible to do it without a social worker though. They can mail you the forms, and you just need to fill them out and mail them back. You need to make copies of stuff though like your bank statements.

I only had to go in for a interview to the main PHA office once and after that I did everything over the phone/mailing stuff in. You'll have to go out at least 3 times if you decide to move though.

You aren't stuck with anyone honestly. You get your own apartment, so you don't have to deal with anyone else. Group housing is when you live with others. Public housing just means the state subsidizes your rent so you get it cheaply.

Since I'm a legit hikikomori, I get groceries delivered. The only time I need to leave if checking mail, doing laundry and once a year getting cash out of an ATM for laundry money.

If your a drug addict or a criminal they don't allow you to get public housing. So, it's safe enough. They're really straightforward and tell you early on if you get arrested or caught with drugs you get evicted quickly

If your accepted, they'll let you choose which apartment complex you want. I decided mine based on the location near grocery stores, gas station(ATM for laundry money) and how fast their internet capacity is. I used mapquest to figure out what was near them and checked with my internet provider testing the locations using a random address. I haven't even gone to any of the local grocery stores though, they're like a block away, but maybe in the future. Just some stuff to think about if you decide to go through with it.

20, been hikki for 4 years (only half a year of this i haven't left my room, i'd normally go around the house and rarely even walk my dog in the night when there was nobody around. my mom mostly stays on the second floor when me and my dog live on the ground floor so it's easy to avoid her if even if i leave my room.)

now i'm not hikki and finishing high school but i'm failing so terribly i might take another year to do so.
dunno why but i always found having a job/school and 'normal life' in general very tempting. maybe because i was mostly ill as a kid so i got plenty of hikki-like life already. if only the people were less boring and i could take shit easier it'd be awesome.

I left school at 14 from /jp/ related illness. Did nothing for 8 years and had no social life. Recently got a casual job which is actually quite nice and enjoyable. My parents have money and own two houses so I am going to be fine in that sense, but my autistic emotions will always be awful. Working, assuming it is with good people, actually helped by splitting my routine of nothing up and I enjoy it. I don't feel like I am losing track of my "self" anymore.

On the other hand, I have a lot of fun talking to people on here, making dolls look nice, collecting figs etc. I'm not interested in sex anymore so most of the time I am quite content. I don't know how long it will last, but as long as I can dream about being a girl as I fall asleep I'll be fine.

Certain complexes are denoted for public housing, so you'll choose from a list of those. Not sure how many are in other states though. There was like 12 for me to choose from personally, so I had to narrow it down and after pick 3 which I'd accept living at. Once they had an opening/paper was finished being processed I got a call from my first choice and went down to sign the lease and moved in after my internet service was turned on.

Today my mom woke me up to a telephone conversation. I had only just gotten to sleep a couple of hours ago at that point, so I was very groggy and didn't have time to get nervous. She had called a psychiatrist, or some equivalent. I don't know, because I haven't asked her for the details yet.

Good luck! I've seen a therapist for so many years now. You get pretty close after a while. I only have one appointment left with the guy I've been talking to, and I skipped my last two appointments to avoid the final one. It's scary. It also feels bad that your best friend is your therapist but meh.

Anyone else have problems eating. All I've been doing lately is laying in bed with my laptop, hoping to catch a lucid dream here or there. I eat one small meal a day most times, and my mother has been worrying. I've been doing this for the past few months, and I've noticed a very sharp decline in body weight. I also have this weird feeling right under my sternum, as if there is a hole in my chest. Its not deep its like a superficial hole on my chest forming, as if the area where the ribs part has been caving in. Nothing externally visible though.

38 guy again.

One thing that saved may arse was 6 years in the military from age 17.5

Sure I was anti social, twitching and almost crawling out of my skin at the beginning, but you quickly gain a "don't think about it" shell to crawl into at any time which is invaluable.

On top of that was a stiff dose of harden the fuck up.

Been working ever since I discharged, doing all my hardcore otaku shit and getting 3D action on the side. Latest one is a 24yo chinese girl who likes eroge.

Well, they will probably ease you into it. The first sessions will probably be just having a chat, you can bring up your issues etc so he understands. Eventually it's kind of like, instead of having an impersonal list of "issues" he is dealing with you directly, as a person who knows you. It is hard to explain.

Just take it easy, don't stress too much and be honest. Whatever you feel is your biggest issues, start with them. There will probably be a few things you don't want to bring up right away, but over time it should be easier to open up.

that was me Thanksgiving to Xmas. Being older around here, I have the misfortune of having a job. I sorta snapped outta it, but I did lose 15 pounds. Funny thing is that this is the only time of year I can lose weight. The rest of the year I drink, a lot.

No job? Fuck getting outta bed for me bro.
That feeling you have? Anxiety my man. You don't know what the fuck to do anymore do you? For me it was that and severe feelings of regret at not doing "normal" things like being in an relationship and whatnot. Sadly, if you are feeling this now, it will get worse.

On /jp/ here I think that's like a status symbol. I'm 18 and have no clue where my life is going. Everything is just so fucked up now, there's nowhere to turn that doesn't lead to a painful end. For a lot of us it's almost like we just aren't compatible with this world. I can most certainly work and am willing to but this world won't let me because of too many barriers I can never pass. I don't even think if I was able to contribute as even someone in a grocery store bagging stuff it would matter in year 2011. It's not just us at /jp/ going down, the whole world is on it's last supporting legs for the human species altogether. At least have comfort in knowing you're never alone, we are all fucked.

Didn't we have another thread like this?

Just a wal-mart manager dropping by to say I have no regrets about my lifestyle choices. If anything, they have strengthened me immeasurably. I work out mildly so that I might be truer to my waifus(I abhor the thought of just choosing one), but the sight of a 3D woman trying to seduce me just makes me want to vomit.

Ironically, that has heightened my "Social status" within the workplace. Normals mock 2D and other mediums for being "Too predictable"? At least they have predictable different outcomes, like with tsundere, kuudere etc. With 3D whores, it's all the same shit.

I am most definitely pooling my funds and looking to get even further ahead to acquire more power and spending so I can finally achieve my dream of being a robotic little girl.

I wish more of /jp/ bothered to actually chase this dream.
