Books on depression, crippling anxiety and the craving to love but the unability to do so? I have been struggling with this all my life.

stop being lazy
have you ever seen that 'My 600 Ib. Life' show? Every fat dying fuck on there always says "oh I'm depressed", "oh I'm stressed", "I haven't had time to stop eating five pizzas a day because I'm anxious". You're just like them -- fucking get it together, asshole.

Does your will mean nothing to you? Faith? Who told you to think happiness, comfort, and love are things that one must obtain? "Depression" and "Anxiety" are talked about like commodities now, like one has more than another. One person has a "clinical" amount, a "crippling" amount, etc. These diagnoses are the result of the bastard "science" of psychology, which has amalgamated all negative feeling into these two neat little compartments, totally disregarding the humanity of fear and sadness. Such is one example of how science is undermining humanity, but I digress. You know nothing of courage or bravery. You don't follow how you want to react to things, you listen to the new priests of psychology and let them further barricade you from your being your own person. Have you ever been aggressive in your life? Principles steady your feet, but even that isn't the goal, there is no goal but to be a principled man in a world of no principle.

I referred to it as crippling because I have been isolating myself now for months, even though I have many social contacts and am generally liked. Every day I have woken up totally exhausted, being anxious all the time even when in solitude. The contrast between this anxiety and me being confident in myself and my abilities is night and day. Consequently I will start to withdraw myself and when people threaten my withdrawal I will burst out into rage, only to regret it afterwards, withdrawing even deeper into solitude. I am not even referring to the anxiety I experience from strangers here when walking down the street.

got more sleep and don't drink energy drinks, the more tired i get the more paranoid i get and trying overcome tiredness chugging monsters just makes me more anxiety ridden, if i dont sleep i get so fucking paranoid it borders on delusional, when it gets bad i just get in bed and listen to an audiobook until i fall asleep no matter how long it takes

Fear and sadness were viewed once as human traits, not chemical illnesses. It's a nuanced thing. People hardly use the words "courage" or "bravery" any more. You don't have to be happy, nor content, nor even comfortable. Don't run from things that make you human, you should embrace them and savor them. Flare them up even more. And have faith, not necessarily belief, but faith in God.

I have been lacking faith all my life. I turned nihilistic when I was 11, when I looked around on a sunny day while on holiday and felt a total disconnection between me and everyone else. Now 10 years later I'm still looking for love but anxiety has gotten in the way countless of times. You can't just tell me to embrace more negative emotion when I have nothing to counterbalance it. It would make me mad. I already don't want to live and the only reason I'm still here is because I'm too young to give up.
