I'm still here! I even made a poem about it

Hikikomori,
What is your story?
Is your life a mess?
Do you settle for less?
You are broken to the core
Retreating to fantasy lore
Do you have dreams,
That are tattered by the seams?
"Please do something" said the family lobby
So you went ahead and picked up a hobby
I'm sure you failed miserably
For I can see visibly
Your character is afflicted with depression
Hopefully you will learn your lesson
"I'll be successful, one day"
As you say in your parental stay
Please wake up, and smell the ashes
Or else you'll feel life's cruel lashes

Well wrong word then, english not being mothertongue. Thing is you need to stop bloodflow of both veins (flexible one, easy to stop) and arteries (sturdy one, requires more pressure to shut close)

When applying one, you need to get the exact time at which it was applied, because muscle will produce a toxin that will constict muscles. Heart being a muscle, gets affected. If no properly dosed anti-toxin (that's why you need the exact time) is injected, you get a heart attack.

How do you call that device to stop both arteries and veins with constrictions btw ?

Seeing has how you'd need such a complex mechanism and knowledge of anatomy to do such things, wouldn't slitting your wrists be a better option for the average /jp/er?

Perhaps taking a few sleeping pills or alcohol then a few minutes beforehand, so you'd be knocked out and left bleeding for a while, and submerge yourself in a bathtub while you're at it to prevent blood clotting.

Although slitting wrists is really one of the more failure-prone ways to commit suicide.

It is, but sometimes you have times of weakness where you want to spend time with other people.

I was pretty excited for this weekend. My family was talking about going to the lake to swim, bbq, and all that fun stuff. I woke up early on Saturday and got everything ready. I waited for them call but they never did. "Oh well, I guess they didn't go after all."

I thought maybe they would go today so I called my brother to ask if he had any plans. He said they probably weren't going to do anything today since everyone was tired from being at the lake yesterday. Apparently, they did go but just didn't call me.

It's probably my fault for always turning down their invitations. "What's the point in asking Anon to go if he always says no?" I feel like shit right now, I really wanted to go too. None of this would've happened if I had just ignored them and not gotten my hopes up.

Sorry for posting this, it just happened a few minutes ago so I still feel it. When my brother said they did go, I froze. I honestly thought they would have called me to go. Now that I think about it, it must have been awkward for my brother as well.

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.

Do you have hobbies that make you feel happy when you do them? There's a good thing right there.

Your life's worth isn't determined by how successful you are. That sort of thing is fairly worthless. You can be extremely successful and still be depressed.

Don't assess the quality of your life by looking around and comparing yourself to others. Just look at yourself, determine if you are doing things that make you happy, and if so then you are living the best life you could be living.

Make an imaginary friend. All the benefits of real people, but without any of the downsides.

Imaginary friends are often overlooked since the idea is so commonly associated with children, but an adult can hone his imagination and create an imaginary friend that communicates with him and that he can see visually through the form of a self-induced hallucination. I would know, my girlfriend is imaginary and I'm talking to her right now.

Unlock the power of your mind. Don't depend on other people for your happiness because as you have just seen they are undependable and they will disappoint the majority of the time.

Every few months there will be an horde of pillbugs (or rolliepollies, depending on your area) in my house. I don't know why. They show up for a few days, and then they're gone until a few months later.

Well, naturally I kill them when they enter my room. They usually don't, but when they do, I pick them up with a tissue, crush them, and throw the body in the toilet or trash.

Then it hit me one afternoon that I had killed over 50 pillbugs. And then it hit me that through my entire life, I've been killing bugs and insects left and right and not even caring. I've probably ended thousands upon thousands of little lives and never batted an eye.

I don't know how I'm supposed to feel but I just want to cry. I could just say it's natural selection and all but I've killed so many of these creatures when they meant me no harm, and I never even cared. I feel like some kind of monster. What have I done?

I wouldn't say that you're insane at all. At least not if you consider normal people as insane.

You've just been indoctrinated with the typical bullshit that almost every parent and teacher in the world tries to fill your head with as you grow up. This crazy idea that the quality of your life is determined by social status, meaningless achievements, and monetary success.

Take a step back and just look at it though. What in life is more important than happiness? Life without happiness is meaningless, without it there's no reason to even wake up in the morning. If you find happiness in your hobbies and the things that you do then you are doing the exact opposite of wasting time.

Why is it that you would be putting your time to good use if you were to waste away precious hours of your life doing something that you don't even enjoy? Plenty of people want you to believe that this is a worthwhile goal since for some reason they are so obsessed with the opinions of others that they will do things that they despise just for approval and social status, but it's all bullshit.

The simple truth is that if you aren't happy then you're wasting your time because time is the only valuable commodity in the world and the only way to waste this time is to spend it doing things that don't make you happy.

I just want to stop all the killing! I constantly kill all these bugs all the time just because they're there. I wouldn't want something to do that to me. And I feel even worse because when I kill them I think I enjoy it. I enjoy crushing the pillbugs and hearing the crunch. I like pouring water on a long trail of ants, and pouring more water down their hill. I enjoy stalking a spider into a corner and smashing it. But when I'm done I feel like some sort of insane maniac. Why do I have the right to treat their lives like nothing?

What's appealing about emotional indifference? You only have so much time until you die, so what is the point of spending that time in an emotional state that is essentially void of any feeling whatsoever?

If I wanted to feel that then I'd just swallow some SSRIs and kill my emotions, but feeling like a robot is an empty and hollow existence. You live for maybe 70-80 years if you're lucky and then you just die and everything is over. What is the point in spending those few years attempting to feel as little as possible?

Very few people who post about suicide here in an urgent sense died when they posted the thread. The reason is because if they're talking to others and thinking they're already past the danger zone and don't have that flow. The other reason is there are faggots here who whisk the suicidal ones away to steam groups and MSN and talk them out of it.

The guys who you see planning it over months on the other hand, I know for a fact that some of those guys are dead or at least no longer online in any way we can reach them.

>It's a bit like realizing you're just a bag of meat, but not having to comply with that peculiar bag of meat's wants and desires.

What does the bag of meat feel like when it doesn't comply to its wants and desires though? Does it now exist in a state of happiness, calm indifference, sadness, or something else?

It's pretty clear that life is a big game and at the end of the day all of our wants and desires are completely pointless and without any inherent value whatsoever, but the same is just as true with actual video games. Why play the game? Why kill the pixelated cowboys or climb around some dungeon slaying fictional dragons? There's obviously no point to it, it's just as meaningless as anything else in life, but it's fun and having fun makes you feel happy.

I haven't looked into stoicism, but I've researched a fair amount of Buddhism and I agree with it all. Detachment is great, if you're not emotionally attached to material things or even your own existence then you've eliminated the possibility of suffering, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy these things.

Life is all just a big game and most people are too immersed in the game to realize that they're just playing a game so they feel sad and they get depressed because they take it all so seriously. Realizing that it's all a game doesn't mean that you stop playing though. If anything you can enjoy it even more now because you have nothing to lose and no reason to care about what happens. You can enjoy all of the pleasures in life and yet still remain detached and avoid suffering.

I simply can't see life as simply as a "game" like that. Even if I wanted to do so (and I possibly could give myself very plausible epidemiological reasons for seeing it so), I would not want to consider it unless the conclusion is unavoidable and there is no other possibility.

I tend towards immersion. If i'm given a game, or a book to read, or whatever, the more I enjoy it is directly correlated to how much i'm immersed in it, and the same is probably true with life itself and its supposed meaning or lack thereof.

Besides, if truth of life was really a game, it's conclusion that would be just too depressing to reach, not because of it per se, but since the process of reaching it seems too simple, like something an angsty teenager would say.

I still want to be involved with life, to do things and explore my potential, and I am aware that this is likely the cause of most of my despair and shame. It only falls short of suffering because I actually realize one of the reasons why.

Has anyone had success with feeling less depressed by making online friends? I think I am having some positive results from it.

I mean someone who you talk to regularly because you have a lot in common. I found such a person, and I've been feeling a little better I think lately.

[Anonymous No.]

I doubt that a real NEET is able to be depressed.

Picking this lifestyle means that you know exactly what's awaiting you: A short and poor but very easy life. There is no time to lament over shit that doesn't even matter to you anymore.

Unless you're a poor loser who wants to be normal but has been rejected by society. In that case you should really work on your life instead of wasting it.

Isn't the gasmask method a troll? I've read that it causes your internal organs to burst and lets you die a slow and painful death. I hope you atleast researched the method instead of recommending it just because you saw it posted on an anonymous imageboard.

>I still want to be involved with life, to do things and explore my potential

Can't you do both?

Look at immersion and games again for another example. I also love to feel immersed in games, novels, or any form of entertainment, but even though I'm immersed there's still this certain degree of detachment that I think everyone feels when they consume any kind of entertainment and this prevents them from feeling suffering. You can get immersed in the game and maybe even feel like you're there, but you're not so immersed that you can feel the bullets cutting through your own body as they hit your character or feel intense heart attack inducing terror as you watch a frightening film. You still get the excitement and you get a little fright, but it's all fun.

I would say that I explore my potential and get involved in life. I do the things the things that I enjoy, I learn as much as I can, but ultimately I do these things because I enjoy doing them. What other motivation is there for doing something?

Detachment doesn't remove the potential immersion that you feel from enjoyable activities, those are still just as good as ever, it just takes away the potential to feel suffering when things that happen to you that you would normally perceive as unpleasant.

Attachment is essentially the same exact thing as clinginess. If you cling to someone then does this clinginess make it more enjoyable to be with them or does it just fill you with this constant sense of dread as you think about the thought of losing them? Then when they do leave then you're emotionally crushed. This attachment or clinginess applies to everything in life and it actually inhibits the enjoyment of any activity or relationship because it fills your mind with fear and causes you to suffer.

He chose the method not me
and I think the image in question may be a terrible idea, I don't really remember it so much.
either way we just used the method not the same gases
first was something to knock him out then I switched it out for something fatal
after a long time had passed I confirmed he was dead, took the stuff and left as instructed, we had arranged for someone to "watch the house" while he went on "vacation" which really just meant they would discover him
the whole thing was under his control the whole time down to the last moments.

>Has anyone had success with feeling less depressed by making online friends?

Personally I found it to be a quick but temporary fix. Same with offline friendship though. The problem is that you end up relying on another person as a cure for your depression and people just aren't dependable enough for that. Especially true with online friends since it's easier to just wake up one day and abandon an online friend than it is to do the same thing in real life.

Honestly I think that imaginary friends / tulpas are a better fix. Reliance on other people is setting yourself up for heartbreak. It's nice to have friends for the hell of it, but if you need friends then it can turn out badly. If your loneliness is fixed by an imaginary friend though then there is no risk of abandonment.

On the contrary. NEET are way more likely to be depressed.

>Picking this lifestyle means that you know exactly what's awaiting you: A short and poor but very easy life.
I'd say nobody really picks this life. In most cases it comes with no jobs being available or mental problems which make a normal life impossible.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9373362

On the contrary, I wouldn't say you are any less immersed in a game simply because you can shut it off when it becomes uncomfortable or intrusive to your "real" life, but rather it's an immersion that could just be as intense or more intense than immersion in daily life, but a temporary one that can be shut off upon quitting the application. But this is only achieved by the fact that there's another layer of existence to compare it to--you can always exit the game and enter your real life, but there is no corollary with life, in that what exactly do you exit into?

The void/death/non existence or any negation of life (like the life outside the application are the negation of the game) are non-experiential by nature so even if one comprehends the concept it's a logical impossibility to exit to that level if we still wish to be immersed in life but are able to exit it at will.

I admit, i'm a bit of a sadomasochist and enjoy the thought of having something and the dread of loss that comes with it. There's a whole array of psychological complexes that is bound up with the inflicting and receiving of pain. Even depression/abuse can start to feel good after a while.

It just proves that doing things for the happiness you derive from it is ultimately paradoxical (at least for me) unless it's that paradox you want in the first place, since even unhappiness can be used to obtain happiness.

Does this exist with anything else in life though?

Honestly I still struggle with my attachment to life so I don't yet know how the monks and people like that have managed to rid themselves of it. Ideally you can just let go and accept the idea that you will cease to exist and then be at peace with it, but it's difficult to get to that point. It's not really the same with other things in life though. Objects, relationships, careers, ambitions, hobbies, etc. You can always leave or exit these things and you're still going to be alive. It's pretty easy to detach yourself from them and no longer feel any suffering in unpleasant experiences relating to these things.

At that point you can live a pretty great life. Sure, you still fear the reaper and it's hard to accept the idea of death, but without an attachment to everything else in your life then you're free to do basically whatever you want without pain or fear.

I don't understand assisted suicide. Apparently this woman had some sort of painful illness, but why would she just end her life? She throws away so many years of her life.

Why don't suicidal people just become drug addicts? This is one thing I have never understood. If I was suicidal or if I had a chronic illness like she has then I would just go all out with heavy drug use. Meth, heroin, whatever I can get my hands on that makes me feel good. Probably could ride out another 10 years of constant pleasure as a binging addict before you would eventually die.

It varies from person to person depending on how much you feel that you need to socialize.

It diminishes more and more as you become increasingly isolated. Think of it like drowning, but with peace as the end result instead of death. You have to stop fighting it and just let yourself sink. Stop reaching out for socialization and stop looking for or thinking of ways to meet people. Right when it seems like it's as bad as it can get then it will be over and you will be fine.

We've all went through it. It's part of the growing process and it's not fun, but you'll be fine.

Seconding this.

Human beings have evolved as social creatures. The need to interact with others is as strong as the need to reproduce. It takes a lot of mental fortitude to overcome it, but it can be done. Loneliness is just evolution's way of trying to force you to get out there and meet someone to fuck. Someday, if you are strong of will, you'll start to find that you just don't care about it anymore, and not long after that you'll cease feeling it.

I still laugh at how 4chan doesn't understand what sage means.

If only I knew moon so I wouldn't have to spend time on a board that imports foreign concepts and then DOES IT WRONG all the time.

Using sage as a way to "insult" someone's post or thread is just completely wrong and a retarded misuse of a good feature that is so popular in sites like 2ch and Futaba. Fuck, iichan and 4-ch do it right. It's just 4chan and 4chan's lame knockoffs that fail at using sage.

The true meaning of sage means that YOUR POST isn't worthy enough to bump the thread. It's ironic, because you think that you're insulting others while you're just, in fact, insulting yourself. Yes, sage can be used when posting a derogatory comment in a thread that you don't want to bump, but posting with just the word "sage" accomplishes nothing but contribute to spamming the board. The trend of replying with the name of a tripfag and sage is even worse, as it accomplishes nothing and only serves to increase the e-penis of whoever you're "attacking".

The sage feature was never meant to serve as an implied insult or general disagreement! Why people started using it that way is beyond me. There are plenty of reasons why one would choose not to bump a thread with his reply. For example, bumping threads with stupid one liner replies should be discouraged and those people should be coerced into using sage instead.

I want to use sage, yet I almost never do it on 4chan because people will jump on me thinking I'm insulting their post or something.
