/dep/ - Depression

you know this couch that psychologists put in their office, sick people crave it. maybe the sicker a person is, the more that person craves the couch.

here is how you can see that play out in reality: there is a furniture store for big people in germany called XXXLutz. i went there. you know how much space they devote to couches? HUNDREDS OF COUCHES. it was an entire floor in a big 4-floor industrial-warehouse sized store near the autobahn and there are overweight people all around! they are sitting on them, slap them to test their thickness, sitting on them, making sure they are sturdy enough.

see for yourself.

this is the website
https://www.xxxlutz.de/

they have more then one way of navigating this website for products but no matter which of those ways you choose and no matter if you don't speak the language of the website, do bother to klick the first entry in every list they present you and you will and up at the couches.

they are that important to sick people. they want couch the same way the person in a wheelchair wants all buildings to have ramps.

Why does it hurt when I pee?

There's ants in there

>Why does it hurt when I pee?

you could try measuring the ph-value of the pee. it might be particular acidic due to successful recent lifestyle improvments, in that case the pain would be uncomfortable but an indicator of overall positive progress in your body. if i remember correct doctors usually assume that it is infection but doctors aren't everything.

on the picture you see ph measuring paper. you can hold this in the pea stream and it will give you a number, i have some, i will report back what mine is next time i have to go.

As a big guy, yeah. I crave for a proper sturdy coach that won't break. However I have switched to a proper mattress instead.

>>310574
And what's your theory behind the idea the "acidic pee means improvements"?

>>310574

Can't pregnancy tests tell you if you have prostate cancer?

I don't know why but these two posts made me laugh out loud. And I don't laugh like…ever. I've been to XXXLutz in germany too and yeah there are many couches but I think it's rather because people want design and size choices based on their taste and household conditions. But sick people probably spend more time in their bed or couch than healthy people so there's that.

>>310582
They have these in the US, but the ones I've been to are really weird kind of liminal spaces. Normal people go to Ikea which is always busy, but they also have enough rich people around where I live that they have these stores just for rich people and the stores are fucking giant filled with so much furniture but there's no one around. You are always the only one in one of these stores. They are like mattress stores where they make one sale a week that can cover their operating costs.

>And what's your theory behind the idea the "acidic pee means improvements"?

i assume you place the same carelessness in your choice of food that you place in your quotation.

i said it CAN mean improvement, in case of improvement it would mean the lifestyle efforts (of not putting more acids in the body) are working and the body is successfully expelling acids. all the people who eat "normal" in general have too much acid.

you need healthy kidneys and adrenals to filter out the acids like that though and most people don't have that, they just slowly accumulate more acids. those acids aren't peed out so they stay in the body.

this is all healthy people stuff though so don't worry too much about it, beverage boy.

first time i am hearing this

i thought you can't stay in bed all day because you get sore from it so they spend the day on the couch until their soreness has passed enough so they can lay down some more. they only get up to go between bed and couch OR WHEN IT IS TIME TO SIT AT SOME TABLE TO EAT SOMETHING

>>310584
>liminal spaces
it did feel that way to me too, i guess they make a lot of money at the restaurant. i think they sell stuff like big schnitzels there so the restaurant might be helping to carry the store. i miss the ikea when it wasn't as high tech as it was today. i no longer go there.

i keep forgetting, i close the lid of the toilet and place my little roll of ph paper on it. PICTURES INCOMING

yeah. i have been eating particularly less healthy in the last month, i'd probably want my pee to be more acidic because i am peeing out alkalic stuff that should have gone to balance my inner ph. i pee this good stuff out without having it counterbalance any acidity in me. i think if my ph was more like 6 it would be better. i just eat the last bit of shelf stable industrial strugglefood crap i bought before i eat that good good again.

the more i read dep the more i consider mental health like an occupational theraphy. they way you would give a child a toy to keep it occupied, most of you have mental unhealth just to keep you busy so you can be too absent to live a life. the more i read, the more it just seems liek a weird habit of choosing to be unwell the way edgy teenagers used to crush aluminum drink cans on their forehead while laughing like retards. so when i wish you sweet babies mental wellbeeing, i mean i hope you stop harming yourself as a past time and choose health.

what is the opposite of depression?
first thing that comes to mind for me is 'upliftedness'.

the word depression to me calls the image of terraforming a sim city game and i use the brush to make an indent into the landscape. the 'depression' is the hole left in the ground. i notice how completely detached this word is from circumstance.

the word stands without giving clues as to how the depression happened, how it effected the life of the person or who is responsible for the depression. i believe those are too important pieces of information to even humor the possibility of describing a situation without them.

the concept of rape makes more sense to me because it implies that someone did violence to that person. this violence others inflict on someone is completely different from the violence that is self-inflicted. self inflicted violence i simply refer to as stupidity. to me the attempt of putting these two different sources of damage into the same concept feels like trying to put a N64_cartridge into a play_station_1.

homeboy is wearing wooden shoes to his dank robes, i'd wear those but with modern shoes made for actual walking.

Freeze!
Freezer it to reheat it when you're really short of time.

>Freezer it to reheat it when you're really short of time.

i have a tiny refrigerator but most of the time i keep it off. i just buy 2-3 days worth of food at a time and for this short of a duration i don't bother cooling it.

this meme is one of the few genuine attempts i encountered for someone actually making what looks like positive progress to me. other then that i have never heard people genuinely describe how therapy did something for them other then cases of people who are so needy for human interaction who i don't consider genuine.

>embrace the demons
Nah the demons transferred through abuse are not going to benefit you in life imo

>>310565
There is an overarchy and under them there are reverse engineered alien techbology that yielded our technology and consumer electronics are just a drip torture of that and they are going to silently do this so the 99% have to discover their own way as if the predators are god, like how the covid vaccine and other older systems are implants of a psychic medializer, but unless you successfully activate it through fasting and prayer they will let you die like there is no control system, just a dead AI, so you still technically have free will, and our devices are thus alien mind control, but if you dance on their drugs and follow delusive suggestion, its like you could talk to the bees, but as soon as you are not a virgin, without having successfully had sex, you are in hell; its a pyramid scheme and soon there will be total control under surveillance. It is now correct to side with Israel. You have the right attitude. They are doing them a favor. It is natural.

>>310795
>Nah the demons

to me demons represent an unaware organism consisting of elements of varying degree of consciousness. though i do believe in the transfer of mental unhealth through abuse in the broader not-necessarily-demonic sense.

>>310798
i don't understand the virgin part and i am sure i am missing some of the meaning of the words you have chosen but you have expressed quite a bit of the modern situation. i don't see how that is related to therapy but on a related note it seems like normies are more aware then ever. gamers nexus report about spying microphones in LG televisions make it into bigger more independent news channels.

Didn't ask

I have been individually targeted since 2020, I live in Houston, TX. I have been harassed by two central figures using VTK2 since that time. They have always presented as voices in my head that were somewhat on my side. Tonight however something big is coming and I have just realized that these two figures have actually been working against me to set me up and have not been the two individuals I have somewhat trusted. Apparently their objective was never good intentions for me. I just had this epiphany and I’m scared because I think they are going to kill me tonight. I am realizing that I should not have trusted them to begin with. They fed me little bits of information over the years seemingly unintentional however I am realizing tonight after getting the full picture of the situation that they were purposely giving me selected information for me to make the wrong decisions in how I respond to them. I call them Dr P and Gabby and they are threatening to fry my brain

>been harassed by two central figures

i noticed quite an affinity for harassment in the people who live on this planet. clear remains of past efforts to breed people that are as mean as possible.

>and they are threatening to fry my brain

you better not delay on the things that are important to you then and live your best life while you can for as long as you can.
