SSRIs are placebo.
They do have real side effects, though, so, be careful.

Escytalopram is every baby's first depression med
They give it to everyone specifically because its quite soft and easy to drop
But yes, libido will drop, for me it went from masturbating every day to once every 3 days and with a less stiff erection

But drugs are for desperate people. you should take them when your problems are of such magnitude, it doesn't matter if you'll be able to masturbate.
I think that's the issue with psychiatry. Imagine they gave chemotherapy to randos. Of course people would get burned and complain. Only do it when your life is at risk/in freefall

That makes sense I'm just mad at myself that I need these things why me

If you've been prescribed it by a doctor you can tell them if it's causing you libido / erection problems. Sometimes they add a supplementary medication, usually Wellbutrin (bupropion), but other times they will just take you off it and put you on another med that doesn't affect the penis (again maybe Wellbutrin on its own or perhaps Mirtazipine).

Anecdotally, I am on Wellbutrin at the moment because I tried SSRIs/SNRIs and found them to be crap. Wellbutrin is weird; it makes you feel kind of angry and horny. I've been on it perhaps a month now and that's as accurate a description I can give you as to what it does: makes you angry and horny. I'm gonna keep taking it for now as I don't mind these effects.

I dislike the feeling of lust. I find it responsible for alot of the negative patterns in my life that are preventing me from acquiring a peaceful existance. I have already accepted that I will not have a future that involves another human being but that doesn't give me the resolve to stop watching porn / lust over someone in my mind. Have any wizards here managed to overcome lust and if so, How did you do it?

It's just an habit. I speak as someone who went on and off these feelings and urges. When I converted to catholicism I spent years without beating off my meat. If you just stop with porn and use your imagination instead, your body will demand less and your mind won't think of it too often. Try it instead of cold turkeing. Good luck.

Food addiction is practically impossible to overcome if you're low dopamine and severely depressed.

Like, getting illegal drugs can cost a lot and be risky or require contacts.

A large bag of sour cream & onion chips can be obtained legally in 10 seconds and costs like $2.
It floods your endorphin receptors for at least 30-60 mins and then many hours afterwards.

It isn't hard to see why most depresseds and poors become overweight. Food is an extremely accessible cheap mood stabilizer which acts instantly.

Thats disgusting to me

im depressed and dont have the energy to eat so i struggle to not be underweight. Food is expensive and eating takes energy and i dont enjoy it.

Bascially, my country and it's culture has shifted rapidly, as soon as most of the people have come in contact with the West through internet, liberalisation, and globalisation. And I believe that is one of the reason which has prompted me to become a wizard.

Prior to globalisation, the succubi of my mother's generation were quite different, they themselves considered it shameful to wear revealing dresses, they always used to dress modestly, while most marriages were arranged they weren't forced, so while succubi were free to select their mate, and reject, they could do it only once and that guaranteed a equal distribution of succubi among men, and everyone was much more happier in that system as everyone got a mate.

And most succubi and men were virgin prior to marriage, it was considered shameful for both men and succubi to be non-virgin. As a matter of fact my native language doesn't even have a word for virgin, and there was no virgin shaming. But nowadays, kids use the word "virgin" as an insult. Most succubi lose their virginity quite early, and finding a virgin succubi is rare.

2-3 decades ago, succubi didn't consider it shameful or bad to be housewives, on the contrary they were proud to be one, or they studied and took a break for 5 years and then resumed their jobs, to go through marriage, pregnancy, and infancy of their child, and when they started working, the guy took the equal burden of the household chores and jobs.

But now, it's all changed, it's considered cool to smoke, drink, do drugs, wear skimply clothes, lose virginity early on, and then find a betabuxxer. Or in some cases succubi get paid so much that they don't even need a betabuxxer any more, while men struggle to get jobs, and ugly in men in particular end up at a much greater disadvantage.

And they act exactly like Western succubi, and I assume Western succubi are insufferable but due to the lost control of Western Men, a lot of Western Men now look towards East to get a semi-decent succubi. Leaving the same Eastern Men, to subscribe to redpill grifters like Andrew Tate, or bluepill themselves to oblivion.

And mind you only the degeneracy of the West has been copied and imported from the West, and meanwhile Western Culture's good and non-degenerate parts are completely ignored. In my country we now have things like undie runs (can anyone from the West explain this? what causes so utter lack of shame in people and succubi that Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

And I also deeply hate the fact, how a lot of western men turn towards east for getting partners who are more "traditional" in their values, like bro, why don't you make your own succubi traditional instead of spreading this degeneracy through the east, and in the same breath demonising the east for prioritising family values. And demonising your average Eastern Man as misogynist and this and that, even though he puts himself last and his family first.

Hundreds of millions of westerners are just as disgusted by those degenerates as you are, but because the current narrative in the media is controlled by those ultraliberal degens, you get called an íncel, womanhater, monster etc. if you think people like the Hawk Tuah succubus are just low value trash.

I'm not even a conservative and I detest so much of what western "culture" has become after the 2000s. And judging by the massive anti-woke backlash in all western elections, I'm not the only one.

>why cant picrel be real?
I really fucking hate learning how computers work. I fucking hate it.
Ever since I started this fucking degree 3 years ago its been nothing but a perpetual torture. I think I say enough when I say shit like Calculus or Lineal Algebra was 100 times more enjoyable for me than anything related to computer science. I gotta be honest though: I m a lazy piece of shit, but I m the kind of lazy piece of shit who studies solely so I dont have to be at the end of the fucking semester doing a fucking "final exam", in order to prove that I m able to pass the course, because that means I gotta learn all the semester's subjects just so I can pass that stupid fucking piece of shit of an exam.

I hate studying. I hate learning. I hate the smugness, shit teaching and the attitude most teachers have and I hate the happiness and eagerness of the people surrounding me. I hate the idea of working and having to wake up every morning so I can keep my sorry ass alive.
I m aware that being a NEET is a dead-end road, specially when you are not on welfare, but I cant stop feeling like a sack of shit every god damn day of my life because of this. I know what has to be done and what I have to do if I dont do it.

I have nothing to look forward to in my life. The sole reason I havent killed myself is because I know my parents would probably die because of that (already have 1 deceased sibling, and the other one aint doing to well in life), and also because I cant bring myself to do it. It terrifies me. I have no access to guns, so the only way would be to jump off a building, but regardless of it, the idea of death, or the idea of "pain of death", is the thing that bugs me the most. I dont want to suffer the ultimate pain that may last minutes! Even if they are just a few seconds, I bet the pain will feel like an eternity, not to mention the fear I will experience during the fall.

Yet I m sick of this shit. I m stuck here. Why the fuck am I subject to all of this? Why the fuck was I brought to this world? Why cant I have the drive or ambition that those maggots sons of bitches of my peers have? Why must I be such an unhappy piece of shit?

Of course, I know many of the answers to those questions, but still. It doesnt deprive me from wanting to create a hole through my wall from the mere anger of having to deal with this bullshit. Why cant I just be left alone in my room? What place iPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

What are your thoughts on using drugs to make boring learning tasks fun and rewarding?

Amphetamines (adderall, meth etc) or methylphenidate (Ritalin) cause the levels of dopamine in your brain to rise while you're on them. Dopamine is associated with reward and anticipatory excitement. In taking them, you can force your brain to make boring tasks feel easy, fun and exciting. Studying, cleaning, doing chores etc all become easy and rewarding.

Millions of students, successful professionals and rich people are reaping the benefits of these drugs every day under the guise of an ADHD diagnosis (a made up 'disease' used to justify stimulant prescription). If other students are using them, why shouldn't you? Why should you be forced to grind with a brain that won't release a crumb of dopamine because you've had burnt out receptors due to imageboard addiction from the age of 12?

I dropped out of university twice and haven't been back since but if I ever do go back then I can tell you for sure I will be abusing stimulants to study. Life isn't fair, the world isn't just. Other people will gladly use these drugs to get ahead and they won't feel a shred of guilt for having reaped the advantages they confered them over you.

The disclaimer is that self-medication on these drugs is a slippery slope (heck, even being prescribed them by a doctor is slippery) because they do feel very good and you have to resist the urge to use them for anything other than productivity i.e taking higher doses and masturbating to porn for 12+ hours. There is also the risk of stimulant psychosis. But it's whether you're willing to take those risks for the chance of the rewards on the other side.

Personally I'd rather risk it for the chance of getting a degree, a well-paying career and all that than being stuck in the mire of procrastination, paralysis and inactivity. There are no prizes for making it through a degree unmedicated versus the kid whose rich parents paid to get him diagnosed with the made-up disease ADHD.

We're not sure where we came from and even less sure to whence we go to.We are in 24\7 uncertainty about WHEN we will go there, or just suffer a tremendous tragedy (I am aware of the Hedonic Treadmill ,but you could die before it kicks in)–or the opposite, you wait forever till you die (horribly) waiting for an impossibly lucky event to occur and solve your life.
I'm not complaining people are chill: I am ASKING why people are chill.For example I saw a short ad pop-up about medical students still doing their exams in the middle of bombings in Gaza–that isn't praiseworthy, that's lame and stupid shit.They have super high chances of dying within 1, 2 years…they will never get to be doctors no matter how much they ace the exams.
How do normies react around these topics? How do atheist-marxist plebbitors cope with daily soul-crushing jobs for years on end, reeeing at God or Jezz Bezos or whoever, but never ever coming close to offing themselves after offing their boss\es?

I know how you feel, wiz. I've been doing basically the same thing over the past year or so.

>Yet instead of exploring my potential and learning about the world I'm a slave to instant gratification.

Don't feel too bad about it, the world has been twisted into a design that is meant to discourage personal growth and keep people distracted and lazy. It's meant to be very easy to fall into that trap, it becomes even easier if you're pessimistic like I am, then you keep returning to the question 'what's even the point?' Personally, I keep losing hope and drive, at which point I return to my escapism and the hope that death will come soon to release me. It's good to seek out a hobby though, or a project, anything to make you feel like you're working on yourself and accomplishing something.

s Earth a cosmic concentration camp? How can it NOT be one, if you think about it:
>you're here against your will, any human can die at any time randomly
>forced labor (if you don't (((work))) you starve to death
>many people work, yet starve to death anyways
>forced to wear clothes (clothing in general, can't go naked)
>forced (((body grooming))) : can't get jobs, may get kicked out of places etc, if you don't wash\shower ,bathe\ clean\ change "pungent or ripe" clothes etc. FORCING a human to apply a liquid (soap, shampoo, water) against his\her will is mildly rape. What's the difference between FORCING you to use soap and ejaculating forcefully on a succubus's hair?
>you get to watch everyone around you die day by day
>FORCED haircuts. no one has any additional duty towards anything, yet succubus -fellow humans- are forced to shave body and facial hair. that's unfair towards succubi who didn't consensually agree to it, or agreed to having-to-have (((grooming))) tools available
>you can only survive bribing guards ie; (((paying money))) for "utilities" \shelter\food \life saving medicine or surgery, etc

I never thought of likening the application of soap to sexual assault, but to be honest it fits. How can a man be free when every day he has to wash away the sins of the flesh? Adam and Eve were pure, and so they likely never perspired, but nonetheless the concept of a bath probably didn't exist in antiquity.

And on the subject of long hair, it is interesting that practically no one in the Old World had crew cuts or shaved heads. A short hairstyle for a Medieval male peasant today would be the equivalent of letting your locks grow out for about half a year; unthinkable to many. I recently saw my cousin chop off all his hair and his entire demeanor changed, like a part of his soul left.

You're spot on about the utilities thing, as well. People never question how odd it is that politicians discuss taxes, lobbies, military spending… But never talk about the monopoly water/sewer/energy companies have on us. I never believed in the whole "essential service" thing. I actually think that the companies behind gas and electricity aren't even real entities, they might as well be machines ran by an invisible third party, very little real human oversight. But that's probably going off the rails…

Absurd take. Public baths were a key feature of not only ancient Rome, but Egypt and Mesopotamia before that.

There are many baths that you can still visit today in Italy that date to the Roman period 2500 years ago.

Me too. Sometimes I think back and wonder when I lost that 'spark' if you want to call it that. At least back then there was a desire to play games and watch things. I think I might like to try to create things but I become frustrated and give up easily.

Basically I've suffered from a neurological condition since forever, now I'm pretty screwed up and don't really work or socialize.

On top of that I was such a heavy drinker for so long I have a serious heart condition and I genuinely wonder how long I will live.

On top of that, of course like many neurological conditions mine is degenerative, meaning I wonder how long I have left in the land of the living so to speak and I'm already so fucked up by it.

I'm losing the will to live because I can already see my future and it's not good. What the hell am I supposed to do? I talk to people on discord and even voice chat and it's kinda fun but I don't see what's left out in the world for me.

Whatever your issues might be it can't be that extreme, I really wish I wasn't in this position, I think constantly about death and what may or may not come afterwards. The thought that my existence was merely some kind of biological glitch and there's no afterlife awaiting me consumes me, it gets pretty freaky.

Psychosomatic. Try to relax and enjoy the NEET life, because the alternative is worse and you would get constant diarrhea.
