How are you doing with that depression, /jp/?

[Anonymous No.]

this depression thing you always talk about sounds like bullshit to me

[Anonymous No.]

i drink minimum 3 beers a day while watching anime

[Anonymous No.]

I drink myself stupid each day.

It's not so bad, at least I have the money to indulge in my vices.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

Not depressed. We've been over this.

[HelenXonpool !a0yHhBwvus No.]

Depression, or just plain old apathy and inferiority complex?

[Anonymous No.]

I am feeling pretty pretty good. Once you get to the point where you are the /jp/ way forever you start enjoying life. Despite /jp/ users being the lowest on the social ladder we tend to have the least amount of lonely threads of any board.

[Anonymous No.]

Watching uplifting anime to keep depression and anxiety at bay. This time it's Minami-ke.
I'm going to go to the unemployment office tomorrow to get some job offers that I'll have to at least pretend to be interested in.
I don't think I can sleep tonight though, and I haven't shaved in months, so I hopefully will look bad enough that they'll give up on me on the spot.

normal reaction to depression

[Sudo !Tohsaka8ks No.]

Playing video games and watching anime nearly every waking hour.

[Tokiko No.]

I'm actually pretty happy. I just finished up a bunch of Christmas cards and I sent some emails out to people to make sure that they want one...

You haven't been using your trip much lately.

>>8268668
And you, guy. I'm talking to you. Where have YOU been? You went missing for a few days and I got pretty worried. You're one of our most QUALITY posters here and a true namefriend.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

>>8268672
Well, I never doubted the fact of your PRESENCE, exactly. But the last time I was on with any regularity, the ban drama was still occurring.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

>>8268679
I'm not sure how I feel about being called a QUALITY poster, as opposed to a quality poster.

My life is chaos, every once in awhile I can't be here. Or rather, I CAN, but I'm too lazy to go find some wifi.

How the hell do you live exactly anyway?

I've seen some guesses, but never heard it directly from you.

I've been playing SWTOR the majority of the day for the past 4 days or so.

I only got banned for two days, someone thought I was permabanned just because it was a public banning and started spamming about it.

In a van.

Hm, I've been thinking of doing just that since I can't afford a normal place to live. How's it uh... treating you? Any tips?

>>8268727
Have you been depressed lately Sudo? More than usual, that is.

[Anonymous No.]

I use it as inspiration for my music.
The lyrics and feeling of it is quite depressing, once I've got an album done I'll give credit to all of my good friends on /jp/.

[Sudo !Tohsaka8ks No.]

>>8268735
Not particularly, I don't think. I stopped taking my Prozac, though, so who knows.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

>>8268735
Stay warm. It's not too much of a challenge, but it sucks that I have to constantly be under blankets after dark.

Stockpile money for insurance and registration, or prepay. Gas mileage and reliability should be your primary concern when picking a vehicle.

[Tokiko No.]

Why'd you quit it? Did you talk with your doctor about it first?

Maybe I was just projecting or something. Anyway, hang in there buddy!

[Anonymous No.]

>>8268752
What do you do to stay warm other than layer up and hide under a few blankets? Also what's the climate like where you're doing it?

[Tokiko No.]

>>8268752
How do you shower, and how do you get your money?

[Sudo !Tohsaka8ks No.]

>>8268755
Because it didn't help at all, and it just made me feel tired all day. I also developed an eating disorder while on it, which I'm trying to stop.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

>>8268763
Layering up and hiding under blankets is all I CAN do. Work vans were never intended to be lived in-- a big metal box is not much fun to live in. Water condenses in there like crazy.
I'm in high desert, so there isn't too much humidity (which can really PENETRATE), but day to night temperature fluctuations are steep because of it. I've come to have the problem that my water supply freezes overnight, but it doesn't get warm enough in the daytime to thaw.

Ideally, I'd say wait for warmer weather, but snow actually serves to insulate.

If you can get a vehicle designed to be lived in, temperatures are less of an issue, among other bonuses.

[Sageru !!urJEZqUHd8g No.]

Taking Paxil which doesn't really work at all. I've been on like 9001 SSRIs already. It's supposed to help both my depression and anxiety but in reality I am enraged and agitated and depressed all at the same time most of the day. I want to die, but I am too much of a pussy to make it happen. Feels good, man. I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow, I am guessing he'll put me on some other SSRI I haven't tried yet. It's not going to work.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

>>8268770
I do odd jobs for family members for enough money to keep myself gassed up. I shower wherever I can, up to and including using a bucket and ice water in the van, but occasionally I get the opportunity to take a hot shower at friends' houses.

Also, having taken up residence at the local Occupy camp has opened a lot of opportunities for food, work, and showering.

I'm probably thoroughly fucked on the east coast then.

Sure something intended to be lived in would be nice, but who can afford it?

Stay warm.

Ancient RV's aren't too bad. They aren't in the best shape, but trust me, it's better than what I got.

I'm on Zoloft.

It helps mildly with my obsessions, and does nothing else anymore. I guess I'm slightly more calm.

I wish I was dead too,tripfag. If it makes you feel better, I have a fungal infection on/around my asshole, which has hemorrhoids and anal fissures galore. And a big fungal infection patch on my right ass cheek.

I've been using AF meds for 6 months and it still won't go away, and it hurts to poop.

Try soaking the affected area in vinegar. Probably won't feel too nice though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8268824

Thanks for the advice, but I'm gonna go see my doctor again soon.

Jesus Fuck I'm sick of this shit. Once I get this fungal stuff finished, I'm gonna need surgery for my anus.

It's gonna be one hell of a horrible summer. I hope the doc gives me lots of drugs my butthole.

[Sageru !!urJEZqUHd8g No.]

>>8268817
When I was on Zoloft it helped me just a little bit. More than the Paxil does, more than the BuSpar did, and more than the Celexa. The only thing that -really- helped me is Risperdal, but my current doctor thinks it's unnecessary for me to be on it. I beg to differ. My symptoms of course run the gamut from depression/anxiety, to occasional manic periods and fits of rage. Lots of paranoia. Often I have to check myself for irrational thoughts, because I become consumed with them on a pretty regular basis. Thinking that when bad things happen to me, it's some sort of cosmic punishment, thinking when people are following me that they're going to do something terrible to me... when I get into groups of people like at stores or something, or various events, or into lines, I freak out, because the voices all sound loud and clear but I can't understand any of them.

fluoxetine (prozac) has worked pretty well in the long term and has had the added bonus of killing off my hated sex drive

[Sudo !Tohsaka8ks No.]

>>8268817
I've been on a bunch of SSRIs too, and none of them helped. Zoloft gave me icepick headaches, causing me to have to go to the hospital.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8268828

I don't have any real social anxiety-I'm definitely more relaxed around people on zoloft, but I could do fine without it. If it wasn't for the suppression of my obsessions, I'd be off of it by now, because it does literally nothing for my depression. I'm more unhappy now then I have ever been in my entire fucking life.

Of course, that's from a number of things.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8268835
What obsessions do you have that need to be medically suppressed?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8268836

Hypochondria (Constantly washing hands, terrified of getting diseases, etc), constant unwanted images and thoughts that repeatedly cycle in my head, unquenchable need to be reassured of things (Doctor, parents, coworkers, etc)-not because I don't believe them, but because I simply am incredibly uncomfortable if things aren't reiterated to me to affirm them.

It's not the doctor that's confirmed this-it's just that I've noticed they're much less intrusive and cause me less panicking on zoloft. When I researched it later, I found that it is used for treating OCD, which I've always suspected I've had.

It doesn't do that much else-it helped at first, but now it's become useless, but I'm afraid if I get off of it things will just get all that much worse.

[Anonymous No.]

I've been thinking about getting medicaid (on SSI) and getting my anxiety treated. Done benzos before and they helped, but I'm worried about having to deal with a thousand other scripts for antidepressants and stuff. I really don't want to leave my house that many times.

Perhaps it's too much of an effort to bother with.

[Anonymous No.]

I am currently trying to work up the courage to call the social security office to properly apply for SSI. This is hard.

[­­­­­­­­ No.]

But I'm a riajuu.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8268850

They won't put you on benzos. Most drugs that would actually help any of us depressed, anxious fucks are rarely prescribed because of how addicting and actually pleasurable they are.

Yeah, I know that. Which is why I most likely won't even bother trying to get help. I'd have to tell them a dozen other pills didn't work, and god forbid they try to test me or something.

All your sex drive is, is a biological goad pushing you to go make copies of yourself. It's a whip honed by countless millennia of evolution.

I can see why somebody would resent it.

I wish it would kill mine, I've been on it for a month and a half, and now instead of fapping once a day I fap 2-3 times a day.

Depression killed mine. Maybe try not taking your meds?

["iluvOP !ge9bznqAsg No.]

I find fapping to be somewhat important to my mood so I stopped taking my meds some time ago completely. Just for the sake of fapping but yeah I can see why it is a pain in the butt for some people.

[Anonymous No.]

sex drive is a pain in the butt because having these desires remind you of the fact you will never get laid and forever be a lonely virgin anyways.

[「ロリあき」 No.]

>>8269517
I don't even think of it like that. I found denying sexual release made me more irritable, and my thoughts wander to the sexual side. Not being capable of arousal would solve that nicely. As it stands, fapping is the easiest solution.
