    To an hero or not to an hero, that is the question that my life is dependent on

    Video games have lost all of their fun for me, I just go on /v/ for 5-6 hours a day and bullshit on the web. I work part-time at Home Hardware and it seems like there is no way out of the shitty job/pay I'm stuck with. Anyone have any vidya or tips to help me bypass the general apathy?

    I see people say this all of the time but it's a pretty stupid argument. I have to agree that it's your own fault if your life is shitty; but if you have no money how are you supposed to magically travel the world and do amazing fun stuff all day? You'd also have to work shitty jobs in other countries since you "burned every trace of your existence" so you can't get a green card or whatever and would have to work under the table for scrap money for weeks before you can go elsewhere.

    Not just because of that, but largely because of that. My life has been pretty shitty so far and vidya was the only thing I looked forward to when I wasn't working. Now that I'm bored of it all, I just don't see the point in doing anything. Apathy, bro.

    I'm sorry, but I can't accept that as a liable excuse. You're on the verge of committing suicide. You've likely only experienced a fraction of a percentile of what our world has to offer, and you're going to kill yourself without even -trying- to see what's out there?

    Life is pain, and I'm not saying that anxiety is something you'll get over, but you owe it to yourself to at least attempt to find out what's out there, to find something that's worth living for. Be it a person, a movement, an ideology, anything. Reasons to live, love, and fight come in so many different forms no one human can interpret all that there is.

    OP chances are you aren't living a healthy lifestyle. Your body needs exercise because exercise makes rest feel good. Your body isn't built to rest all day. Also your body needs sun. People who don't get sun can have seasonal affective disorder. In countries like canada which can be cloudy its common. Seattle this is a major problem. Then you also need to eat enough. Balanced diet, don't overeat either. Drink plenty of water and get enough sleep. Also you might be addicted to video games and you just need something to distract yourself from the addiction. Video game addiction would make you feel like a fish out of water when you stop playing. Go see a movie or go shopping so you can experience the real world.

    Submit before making my point, sorry.
    Had I not any of those things or anything to live for, I'd have no qualms with dropping everything and seeing what else our world has on its surface. If I found nothing, after all my traveling, then I'd decide there is no reason to live, and I'd likely be perfectly content with the idea of death.Though I'm sure I'd find something much more worth dying for

    To think that our species includes members that are so lazy that they wouldn't even bother to challenge the world around them, that they wouldn't even try to find something worth living for when they've experienced so little... It downright disgusts me.

    Stop letting anxiety be your excuse for not going out and finding something worth living for. If you don't enjoy talking to people, then don't. Wander as a mute, you're probably more likable in that state anyways. If you're too much of a coward to REALLY do something about the pathetic state your life is in, then you are indeed not worth keeping around.

    They will if you act like the retard you make yourself out to be. People, believe it or not understand when someone says something wrong or can't quite manage to express themselves how they meant to, because they, like you, are human beings who make mistakes. If you learn to laugh at yourself when you fuck up, it becomes a non issue.

    People are always going to treat the guy who can laugh at his own mistakes better than the guy who makes a mistakes, bursts into treats and runs into the nearest bathroom while his spaghetti falls out of his pockets.

    >ctrl+f "therapy"

    The fuck?

    OP, seek professional help. Find a therapist. Can't afford one? Fuck you, yes you can. Look into community counseling. Lots of universities offer it. Can't find one? Just call up a therapist and ask if there are any places that offer it on the cheap. You need help. Don't be afraid to seek it.

    Also, if you don't like your therapist or if they're doing a shitty job drop them and find a new one. Shitty therapists exist, just like shitty doctors. If your anxiety has become unmanageable then ask about being referred to a shrink as well for meds.

    Medication is by no means a substitute for therapy, nor should it be treated as a permanent solution. A lot of people call pscyh drugs a crutch, and that's not far from the truth, because who the fuck uses crutches? People who can't fucking walk on their own. You ditch it once it's no longer necessary.

    TLDR: Find therapist, ask about price scale, ask for referral to cheaper one if too much. I pay $25 a session for a guy who's still interning and he's helped me immensely.

    One more thing: YOU are primary determinant of the success of your therapy. Be willing to look at yourself starkly and think very hard about what's true about you. It will be painful but you will come out stronger on the other side.

    I'm sorry, but fuck you. Depression is very real and I trust the findings of the medical community to be far more compelling than the ramblings of some faggot who never actually had clinical depression but thinks he did because he was discontent and unhappy.

    Depression is not feeling sad. Depression is the deepest, blackest despair imaginable. It's being absolutely certain that things are terrible and can only get worse, that if anything does change it will BE for the worst. It's not something you just shake off. It's not something you "get over" with some medication or Tony Randall's power of positive thinking. It requires extensive rewiring of your own thoughts and constant psychological conditioning to overcome whatever the source.

    No, I mean that simply talking to somebody and telling them that you're depressed is not enough. You really do have to restructure the way that you think, and it's not fucking easy. I should know, I've suffered under it for years and I slip in and out of really bad slumps (just starting to get out of one now) but when my head's above the water I do what I can to improve myself and change the way I live. I've lost weight and earned a promotion at my crappy job ($11 an hour to lift wine boxes and sell booze all day fuck year) but there are still days where I struggle to keep it together and it sometimes gets so bad I have to retreat into the bathroom to sob quietly for a few minutes before pulling myself together and getting back to doing my fucking job because NOT doing it is not an option.

    There is a constant stream of negative and self-hating thoughts going through my head that I have unconsciously conditioned myself to think. Consciously conditioning myself to think differently requires great effort of will, but slowly and surely it is happening and my bouts of deep depression are becoming less frequent, all told.

    Anyways, in my amateur opinion it seems the OP is genuinely depressed and all these people laboring under the idea that you can just shrug that shit off or that it's easy to quiet that voice that declares that everything is pointless have never really experienced it themselves or been really close to somebody who has. The reason OP's deflecting all these recommendations is a result of his mental state, and while it's true that there are people out there who overcome depression all by themselves they're rare and it's always, always advisable to seek out professional help, because 99% of the time it makes a big difference.

    In short: OP, see a fucking therapist already and stop looking for sympathy from a bunch of faggots who become enraged when a popular game developer sells cosmetic items for puzzle-solving pretend robots to wear.

    I do like reading books.

    Unfortunately I have a very small library in my city and no money to purchase them from the internet (not OP BTW)

    I still don't see any difference between that and TF2 hats.

    I've already been through every motivational thread of the past few months and seen all of these generic inspirational images.

    I went to my old friend's cabin 2 years ago. We went up a massive, unmarked mountain, camped up top, and went back down. I was scared we were going to die while camping because we had little water and one of my other friends was throwing up. When we got down to the cabin, I felt exhilarated and thought, "Wow, what the fuck have I been doing, I need to get my shit together..", but as soon as I left and came back to my same old, regular routine, I just didn't feel that same spark. The novelty of accomplishing something like that wears off quickly.

    Go to a book store. Books are like 8 bucks.

    If you cannot travel to a book store and you cannot collect 8 dollars you must have like no fucking legs or something, seriously there are no excuses for not being able to buy books

    Like I said there is a very small interest for books in my city so what makes you think they would have bookstores?

    OP!? Are you the fucking OP?
    That's it! If that exhilaration was present while you went on this hike, keep fucking hiking! If that's what you find joy in, keep doing it. Blow all your money on trips to mountains and trails you haven't been to yet, and then hike. Let that be what gets you through life, I'm sure as times goes on and you branch from hiking, you'll find more and more things that can give you true exhilaration.

    The entire state of Indiana once tried to pass a bill that would change Pi into 3.2. So I believe it.

    The only reason I felt exhilarated was because I actually managed to scale a huge, 2000 ft mountain, and I didn't die, even though there were many instances where I could have. That was probably the single-most scary thing I've ever done in my life, and feeling out of control like that made me really panic. The relief was immense and made me think about all of the trivial shit I wind myself up over, and how it isn't really relevant to anything. That feeling, though, like I said, passed quickly and I just began to feel the same way.
