Maybe this belongs more on /hob/ and if the mods agree I would hold no ill will for them for moving or deleting it but I recently got around to watching Serial Experiments Lain and wanted to find some other wizzards with good reccomendations for /dep/ anime. The ones of course given are succubi last tour and Lain. I would personally not count Watamote as it seems quite shallow and everything turns out fine in the end and whatnot. So what are some other anime, manga or light novels dealing with actual depression or schizophrenia and not in the mainstream boohoo am so sad way.

When someone in deep depression shouts that there is no free will, what they are really saying is that everything feels trapped. It feels like their personality, their failures, their pain, and even their thoughts were all decided long before they had a chance to speak. In that state, the idea of choice sounds fake, almost cruel, because nothing feels like it could have gone differently. Life feels like a machine that produced them and then abandoned them inside its gears. Saying there is no free will becomes a way to explain why everything hurts and why escape seems impossible.

The reply, “you do not have free will, but you do have a will,” changes the frame in a subtle but powerful way. A will is not about being free from causes or history, it is about the fact that something inside still wants, still cares, still reacts. Even if every desire has a source, the desire itself is real. The wish for relief, for connection, for meaning, or even just for the pain to stop, is a force that has weight. Depression can bury that force under exhaustion and despair, but it does not erase it. Having a will means there is still something alive inside you, even when everything else feels predetermined.

People who go on about free will when they don't believe in a God are the biggest timewasters ever.

It’s striking how often public outrage seems selective. Donald Trump, with a history of inflammatory remarks, controversial policies, and legal entanglements, embodies behavior that would spark condemnation anywhere. Yet, when an average American does something reckless, greedy, or morally questionable, the response sometimes flips into disbelief that “this could happen here,” with people jokingly invoking Russia as shorthand for corruption, chaos, or authoritarianism. It’s almost as if Americans have normalized extremes at the top while still being shocked when similar behavior appears among ordinary citizens. The irony is sharp. The “most American thing ever” often reflects the very traits that are supposedly shocking or foreign.

This dynamic reveals a deeper cultural blind spot. The joke about “being like Russians” masks an unwillingness to confront uncomfortable truths about one’s own society. The behaviors that elicit the comparison, selfishness, disregard for rules, or flaunting privilege, aren’t imported from abroad; they are homegrown. By externalizing blame onto another country, people distance themselves from the reality that the same traits are present in their own culture, normalized over decades. It’s both a critique and a defense mechanism. Humor and astonishment shield people from admitting that the problems they see elsewhere have always existed in plain sight at home.

Russia has been ruled by jews since 1918 (and still is to this day). So to speak of "Russian behavior" in any suggested darkened meaning, is to actually speak of jewish behavior.

And Trump is a talking human mask worn by hidden jewish bankers (as everyone knows).

 No.322708

The difference is Trump is a senile lolcow that just repeats the last thing someone said to him. People pick up on his true intentions and his true mentality. He's a narcissist, sure, but he's also just a drama queen and likes the dynamics of elections. He doesn't seriously want to be an autocratic leader.

The big untold thing about Trump is he WANTED to lose in 2016. The whole thing was a marketing stunt that got out of hand, and he would've been happy to lose to Hillary and go back to his golf course. He seemed content to just go into retirement around 2021 as well, before the lawfare forced him back out.

A lot of leaders put up a harmless facade to disguise their cynical machivallianism. Boris Johnson and George W Bush being two. But with Trump you just get Trump.

Starting a new anti-suicide general as the original has been bump-locked.

Helping wizards to understand that persuasive feelings of suicide can be bested.

Further the discursive spirit of this thread will remain the same as the first: to counter the general luring tenor of sadness that defines all the other threads through sharing positive practical advice purposed to reducing suicidal behavior even when we feel most suicidal. Naturally, being that I started the topic, I will be the first to contribute.

(1) Know that I care about you guys deeply and sincerely. Call me a faggot, I don't care (many have already done this, to no worthwhile avail)
(2) Examine what you are eating. For example, gluten especially produces depressive/psychotic episodes in sensitive autistic individuals. Sugar also is not healthy for your brain. Delimiting ingestion of both is wise.
(3) Make sure you are getting sufficient sleep. Chronic sleeplessness or even a few days' worth of irregular sleep can seriously interfere with the clarity of our thinking.
(4) Clean up. Taking a warm shower and putting on fresh clean clothes always is refreshing and helps to break up darkened mental habits.
(5) Breathe fresh air. Open whichever windows punctuate your room and allow some wind to come in.
(6) Watch your breathing. When we are panicked, our breathing can become very disordered and we do not recognize the effect this has on our thinking. Take deep, purposeful breaths, and collect your thoughts.
(7) Respect yourself. You have done your best to survive in an awful world, and you should grant yourself forgiveness for any mistakes and the allowance to rest with a composed and balanced mind.

I've done my part. Anyone else?

It's Saturday night and I started taking a new antidepressant called Mirtazapine (15mg) on Thursday night.

This is my 10th or so attempt at a psychiatric medication. I've tried lots of therapy too.

Wish me luck anonymages. I was about to quit my job but watched some motivational videos on autoplay on Youtube for hours and as cheesy as it was, they convinced me to give this a go.

I didn't even get these prescribed recently. It was way back last year and then I just didn't take them because this particular medicine has a reputation for making people really fatigued.

It does put me to sleep. But, maybe that's ok. If it means I can find some happening apart from fapping and dreaming while I sleep.

Maybe it'll even help me turnaround my fortunes at work where it looks like I'm sliding towards a firing or just being unable to come in. Barely stopped myself raging at my boss the other day and took 2 weeks sick leave from stress afterwards. I need to swallow some humble pie come Monday and hopefully these pills help. Being off work for 2 weeks showed me I'm just as miserable and actually more so depressed, anxious and stressed not working despite all the antiwork slogans I collect.

Well, could be your problem is unrelated to the meds, Idk. Male impotence can be caused by psychological things too, just low self-esteem or shitty moods. I can talk by experience, when I have periods during which I feel powerless/weak/a loser then my dick is softer and it's harder for me to get an erection but when I experience some success in some form in life I can get hard-ons that last for hours and can cum like a volcano. Your self-image counts A LOT when it comes to sexuality as a male.

Anyway, if you are sure it's the meds that caused this then sue them, get that money. Money is always good, especially if you didn't work for it, trust me, youngwiz.

>>304646
>pornography, abortionism, lgbt, contraceptives
These aren't necessarily evil though you are right jews push these things or use them for their own ends or to earn more money.

Enjoying sexuality in some way, whether it's masturbation/watching porn or another way and discovering new things isn't bad, it's a natural thing to enjoy life as much as you can. But when people start to assume identities like lgbt ones and make them their central core identity then it will end up with less white children. There is nothing wrong with porn itself or enjoying gay porn, only if you adopt some shitty stereotype that comes with this.

Abortion and contraceptives can be useful if the people in question have some diseases that could be inherited by their children or if we are talking about non-whites then by all means these things are good.

I couldn't surmise that there would be any danger in incorporating a small amount of grated organic ginger root into your daily tea/water. I did this myself years ago and found no harm from it. It was one of the first serotonin antagonists that I had discovered to which I had no ill reaction.

Ginger, B1, Magnesium, Vitamin E, total discontinuation of the offending drug (ssri, etc.), eliminating fluoride, sweating, belief that things can and will improve – are all helpful weapons in fighting pssd, all of which can lead to cure.

>I tried for a day but I wasn't sure to keep going after I read some people's experiences


Be mindful that many in the "pssd community" do not want others to improve. This is not say that I am calling into question their claimed experiences with certain herbs (ie, ginger), but at least in virtue of my own experience with pssd and the trying out of different serotonin antagonists of variable strength, I can say I do not feel you need to be afraid of crashing on the ingesting of some ginger for however many few days. Ginger has been used safely for thousands of years; even in antiquity high-class etairai (greek prostitutes) would mix ginger into the drinks of their clients so to encourage arousal.

But like in any personal experiment, proceeding gradually by steps, not over-running one's goal, being watchful for any sensitivity in the diet to the introduction of a new element, is always a wise course. So ultimately it is up to you. But don't ever lose confidence that your brain can be restored to its original healthy chemistry…whichever restorative path you end up following.

He has a book on it as well but I haven't yet it read, it's generally considered a very good modern introduction to serious astrology. I basically just read random stuff and talked to ai about it before going straight into medieval/greek texts which might be hard to start with…
The first 4 chapters of ptolemy's tetrabiblos i think is a good introduction to the ideas of what astrology is in general though

This is the classic "suicide general", where we discuss methods and say farewell to our fellow wizards, quite different from that other thread in the catalog.

I'm currently 26, almost 27 (rings a bell?). And I can't take it anymore. I will soon depart from life through hanging. I haven't done it yet because I live in a shithole and there are always people around making noise and being nosy. I will just wait till it's very quiet so I can go to the woods and end this miserable existence.

I don't care if it might "get better". Existence itself is a curse and we're all gonna die anyway. I've read enough pessimist books and life affirming books and I side with the former. I don't need your compansion, because the thought that I will soon disappear is the only thing that makes me happy. I'm not even sad because of this.

>It is commonly believed that carbon monoxide poisoning leads to death that resembles sleep. However, that is not true. Carbon monoxide causes immense pain and discomfort and causes convulsions and muscle spasms as the body's desperate attempts of seeking oxygen. One acquaintance of mine committed suicide using carbon monoxide and his body was so badly disfigured that his family was denied to see the body. His facial capillaries had burst, his eyeballs had popped and his tongue had swollen to prop the jaw open unnaturally. I think no one can say that is peaceful

People like to say suffering “builds character” or “makes you stronger,” but that idea is only half true at best. Struggle can force growth when there’s support, safety, and room to process what happened. Some people do come out of hardship with deeper empathy, resilience, or clarity about what matters. But that growth isn’t automatic, and it’s not owed to the pain itself. Often it comes despite the suffering, not because of it, through reflection, help from others, or sheer luck in having the resources to heal.

Just as often, suffering doesn’t strengthen someone at all; it wears them down. Chronic stress, trauma, and loss can rewire the brain toward fear, numbness, or hopelessness. Instead of “character,” you get anxiety, depression, mistrust, or burnout. Saying suffering is good for you can quietly invalidate people who were harmed by it and never got the chance to recover. Pain isn’t a forge that reliably produces stronger people, it’s a risk. Sometimes people adapt and grow, and sometimes they’re left carrying damage that was never fair to ask them to endure in the first place.

I remember being made to read a book about Soviet refugees that escaped the gulag. And later in life in New Zealand they weren't really any better off for it. They just worked the lowest of wagecuck jobs, were sorta socially isolated and did weird things like hoard bread crusts in their drawer. The US soldiers that escorted them to the country were commenting on how they just seemed lifeless and distrusting, emotionless even as they were given candy and sweets.

There was a guy at my old job who was completely normal until a group of guys kidnapped him and locked him under a carpit for several days. He almost died of dehydration. He came out of that a barely functioning alcoholic that would melt down when anyone would yell at him. He was constantly the victim of confidence tricks.

I have actually come to the opposite conclusion that I need to be in a good mood to be productive and resilient towards life's problems. I still think the zone of optimal development thing is the best explanation. People need to suffer but only as much as they can handle and too much or too little is not good. The improvebrahs can romanticize suffering because their actual life is comfortable so more suffering will push them to grow. People like us don't need any more suffering. We should first try to feel better first before we can grow.

"It's Kornhoer himself I don't understand. That gadget—" he waggled a forefinger at the dynamo "—is a standing broad-jump across about twenty years of preliminary experimentation, starting with an understanding of the principles. Kornhoer just dispensed with the preliminaries. You believe in miraculous interventions? I don't, but there you have a real case of it. Wagon wheels!" He laughed. "What could he do if he had a machine shop? I can't understand what a man like that is doing cooped up in a monastery."

Secular and technical knowledge slowly gains importance. Something that began with the removal of the cross in the library, now we have this idea floating around that technical skill surpasses a life dedicated to God.

That's some grim foreshadowing. After they keep mentioning it I don't think the abbey will escape a war between Hannegan and Denver now. At least it looks like they are about to finish their mission of preserving old world knowledge until it can be used again. Thon Thaddeo will carry the torch now so it won't really be a burning of Alexandria.

"It may take generations to evaluate and understand some of these things. It is unfortunate that they must remain here in this inaccessible place, for it will take a concentrated effort by numerous scholars to make meaning of them. I am sure you realize that your present facilities are inadequate—not to mention 'inaccessible' to the rest of the world."

This chapter plays like a miniature of the Renaissance, at least as far as its main theme. Science must rise, based on the old world, organized theology did its part keeping ancient knowledge safe to cross safely the gab of the dark ages and now it must be 'returned' to the world.

Alright this is the part where I think the symbolism went over my head. What's up with Benjamin and the Thon? I think Benjamin was waiting for a Messiah of sort. Idk what the messiah is supposed to save him from in this case, his loneliness? His burden? He came to verify if Thon Thaddeo, which I assume represents science and progress, is the messiah for him and determine that he was not. So science and learning is not the savior he is looking for but again savior from what? War as an extension of the original sin? Thon Thaddeo make a speech about how the path to ignorance being replaced by truth is going to be bloody and violent but the world is already violent as it is. Is the author's message here that humans are doomed to their original sin, that is to always wage war, regardless if they live in primitive ignorance or high tech enlightenment and that science will not be the one to save them from their sin? For Benjamin, to save himself from his burden of carrying the history of his people, which Dom Paulo equated to the original sin of humans? That is my best interpretation of the event so far. There is definitely something meaningful in the interaction between characters. The poet probably represent something too I am not sure. Sounds like he is just pointing out the absurdity of everybody.

My mom was an airhead who barely learned to read and write. She grew in poverty and she's obsessed with being poor and loves watching videos of people in extreme poverty. Despite all that she is a narcissistic cunt who thinks she's superior to everyone and loves to humilliate people every chance she gets. She got with my dad because she thought he was rich. No matter how much money she gets she tries to spend it all as soon as she gets it. As a kid, she constantly told me that she didn't love me and that I ruined her life, everytime my dad left the house she used to beat me. Everytime I'm around her, she makes sure to make hurtful comments, completely unprovoked, and loves to shame me in front of people. I know that part of my low self-steem is because of her. She always made me feel like I was worth nothing.

My dad was a musician that eventually became a moderately famous photographer for a national newspaper. He was a decent man when I was a kid, but eventually he started to beat my mom and me, he also kicked us out of the house plenty of times. His so called "fame" got the better of him and became a womanizer. He spent most of his money on succubi and came back home with nothing. That obviously caused more fights that always ended with me having to mop my mother's blood off the floor and having to call an ambulance to get her to the hospital. The beatings only caused my mom to resent me even more for "ruining her life". I was just an elementary school kid when all of these things happened and they continued to happen until I was 17. On top of that I was getting bullied at school, so I came back home from getting bullied to find my parents trying to kill each other.

Now almost a couple of decades later, I'm stuck with two aging parents who believe that I "owe" them for the hell they put me though. Needless to say, I hate them. And even though I feel some "love" for them as a son and know that I will cry them when they finally die. A part of me will find relief when that happens.

But why do you guys go into church for that?

All you have to do to become a Christian is to believe that Jesus died for your sins.

It is that faith, that belief that initiates you into christianity and nothing else, so why not try that out?

I think that the reality is nuanced and that not every people who will call themselves Christian that you will meet out there really are Christian in that sense, otherwise they would certainly want nothing to do with evil men.

To be brutally honest I only went to church for most of my life to please my father but a couple of years ago we started going to a different church in the neighboring village and (hope I won't get banned for this) there are quite a lot of good-looking succubi there and like the creep I am I just like to stare at them. I live almost like a hikki hermit, I only go to church for one hour per week, that's all the time I'm around other people so yeah as pathetic as it is I just want to be around some beautiful succs for an hour per week. Fapping to porn is good but sometimes it's just better to fantasize about real people you know irl. It's not like I will ever interact or talk with them in any way so who cares, I'm just an autist-schizo pervert and the looks I'm getting from everyone in the church community just reinforce this.

Mommy was verbally abusive and damaged me by being there, meanwhile Daddy wasn't there when it mattered.
They aren't completely terrible people, just people who probably shouldn't have had kids, my sister turned out much better than I did, and I'm glad because me being such a horrific failure at the very least guarantees that she's a saint by comparison, so she got the approval she didn't get as a teenager because I was younger and had potential or whatever.
I DO hold my mom's abusive past against her in secret, but I don't have any issues openly because being allowed to NEET is a luxury as >>223992 said.

Friendly reminder you body might not be able to absorb it from food or it might not be able to produce it by means of sunlight… both cases happened to me. After a study on vitamin D my doctor prescribed me pills of 5000 iu of vitamin D per day for four months. In the very first week those pills solved a problem that for almost two decades I thought it was normal: perpetual exhaustion. Nowadays I have more energy and don't even feel tired after working out. The downside of this is that I cannot blame fatigue for my lack of interest in developing my skills… that's a psychological issue no ammount of money will solve.

Thinking about teaching myself about finance. Every brain cell in my skull, every nerve ending in my body, is screaming at me not proceed with this course of study. I intuitively know I will send myself straight to the poorhouse with bad financial decisions. Once I get a taste for finance, Dunning-Krueger will kick in. I feel that this is true with every fiber of my being and yet I must press onward because it is a stone that remains unturned in my quest for knowledge and self-discovery.
