/dep/ - Depression

Different modes of dissociation. Staring into the void. Moving out. Go through hell. Become sleepy. Give up ambitions. Take the daily pill. Repeat. Oblivion.

maybe you shouldn't think that feeling like this is a problem that needs to be solved? and rather just calmly allow yourself to feel nothingness for as long as you need without self-reproach or guilt?

The common denominator among wizards is that we are addicted to the internet.

Internet addiction is real and it is desensitizing your dopamine receptors. Like why the hell would our brain do anythign slightly difficult when, as far as it is concerned, it can get everything it needs from the internet?

Get the fuck off the internet and get your brain accustomed to the normal stimulation of the real world. If you dont have any other issues, you will find yourself moving towards actually improving your life over time.

true

Kek. Real life issues are what brings them to internet in the first place. If real life was going well we wouldn't be here. But yeah one shouldn't ignore real life issues. Life for us men, especially a browncel like me is dealing with one issue and preparing for next 4 issues. Because only thing that keep me company are issues. Only thing life has is downs for me. Not a single up.

Thats a fire line.

Can I barge in and say that God is quite literally nothingness? You might ask how something can come from nothing but the fact that we’re here at all in the first place proves that it’s possible. Many philosophers say that it’s not possible for nothing to exist and that something will always arise.

We must collectively put an end to this bad habit of personification. God is a “what,” not a “who”. All I’m asking now is that you make sure you don’t develop a survivorship bias when thinking about how fine-tuned the universe is.

I want to further expand on this idea by bringing to your attention that nothingness or non-existence shares the same aspects as God (at least from monotheistic viewpoints).
It is eternal, meaning it has no beginning and no end. It is also infinite, which should be self-explanatory. It is limitless and unbound, and it paradoxically contains everything despite being nothing. Additionally, many religions, notably Christianity, state that any man who would view God’s face shall surely die. Think about this from a different perspective: you must be something to know anything at all, and to know nothingness (that unknowable thing¹) one must reduce oneself to nothing, therefore losing the ability to know anything.

¹It is human nature to fear the unknown, what lies beyond death (nothingness) is unknown and unknowable, therefore it frightens us despite being unknown.

God can be seen as an infinite chaos, and this answers the question as to how we got here, but now how that’s possible. Let me explain, if nothingness contains limitless potential, then anything can come from it. I suppose an infinite number of universes can arise from this infinite void but there will never be an infinite number of simultaneous universes (obviously).
Furthermore, my guess is that some inchoate particle, perhaps something as simple as a vibration, came from this void like a fragment (although this void can’t actually fragment), and then the singularity occurred… somehow getting us to where we are today. It is not an extensive or convoluted explanation, maybe not even one that makes sense, but it’s trying to make sense of it all.

God could still exist, but it wouldn’t necessarily be the Whole, rather a created entity that exists beyond our universe (time and space) but not on the same level as the Whole, therefore we’re met with a hierarchy of sorts. It’s all speculative so whatever.

Anyway… look around and realise we live in a simulation no matter what standpoint you take, existence is an artificiality. Non-existence is paradoxically reality and God and everything and more(?). Try to achieve moksha, I guess.

TLDR - From nothing we came and to nothing we shall return.

on that buu pack

I've always thought Dragon Ball villians are hilariously fucked up if you stop to think about them and what they might look like if they were real, especially Buu.

>>296702
Oh yeah Dragon Ball was gruesome for a kid who would analyze things too much. I remember Buu could turn people into chocolate, imagine that happening to you. Would you maintain your consciousness in that state? Could you feel someone eating you? The horror!

>>296604
The only thing you can do is out-psycho the normies. Make them fear you.

>>296604
How do normies even flock to geek communities in the first place?

Basically, being alive is depressing. Unless you are very intelligent and have charisma it is pretty much pointless. Just wasting time.

>>292653
You have two legs, two hands, and a thinking brain, you can learn and work. You can be fine.

Men and succubi are different, but our similarities are greater than our differences, so it is important to have empathy and understand why succubi care so much about their appearance, and know how this can affect the life of a succubus.

Ban, prohibit, forbid, discourage, dissuade succubist men & succubine men & heterosexual men & transsuccubi & transincubi & breastfeeders & chestfeeders & nipplefeeders & birthing humans & birthing persons from posting on this imageboard! Problems solved!

>Everything related to physical appearance, and complexes.
Good looks has a positive halo effect on other aspects of a person.
Few are the ones who can be ugly, yet virtuous in other aspects.

>>294754
>so it is important to have empathy
Why? Why should I have any consideration at all for those who don't even consider me a fellow human being and literally wants me dead for the crime of existing as someone who isn't sexually attractive to them?

People are of course just horrible and unable to understand. "Laziness", depressions, lack of energy, lack of motivation etc. are all obviously consequences of other things that have happened such as bad parenting and bad genetics

i wouldn't moralize it, but depression is definitely a choice, albeit somewhat unconscious. there's an internal calculation going that basically tells you giving up on reality is the best you can do for now. until the circumstances change or you find a way to see things differently, shifting the equation in a direction that results in positive action, you're basically stuck in limbo.

depression is definitely bitter sweet. there is a sick enjoyment in it if you're being honest with yourself. yes, you're "miserable" but you're exchanging these negative emotions for something much worse. staying in bed and ruminating is much preferable to going outside in the world, doing something meaningless that's forced upon you or playing a game that you know is impossible to "win".

ultimately, it's just a reaction to your circumstances. you shut down, because the alternative just seems worse to you, whatever "normalcy" or "well-adjustedness" people are pushing on you. despite the misery, you'd rather stay depressed than give them what they want.

On the other hand, there are people who seem to remain happy in any circumstances. Many of them are shallow people who give advice like "just smile and you'll feel better :)" or "just pretend you're having fun until you feel it :)"

I think that depression is more of a by-product of worldviews that promote meaningless in life. The logical conclusion in such worldviews is to kill yourself.
It's another topic whether or not these worldviews are even justifiable in the first place.

if by morals you mean partaking in the solidarity of society morals are a spook that nobody abides by but everybody uses to shame others with. if I had enough financial and psychological foundation to remain a weight on the back of societal filth without having to deal with it I'd 100% do that. it's not even an extreme position. everyone knows it's far better to do that since all they dream about is early retirement and a home in the middle of nowhere.

This week I had a breakthrough and going outside without covering myself stopped scaring me. It was a natural progression that started with showing how I look now in familiar places. I might not be the prettiest, but that does not mean I have to shut myself in. Thanks for the kind words, it made the difference.

>>295276
You are right. I had self-esteem issues even before I noticed I am losing my hair, this only amplified it. There are more battles to come, good luck to you too.

Sorry for bumping another balding thread, lol. It is a coincidence.

>>293203
Do you coom? It is a factor.

You take finasteride or dutasteride, that's the only thing that prevents balding

>>295566
I heard sardines help a lot to improve hair, try eat them at least once a day, but maybe it is too late for your hairline

>>295667
I heard cooming messes with your DHT levels(fin controls DHT), would rather have hair than coom.

Yes, life is eternally running away from the meat grinder. You can't stop moving or it will get you. With a lot of effort you can gain some distance from the grinder, but it will get you eventually. Then your body will be decomposed, the matter that makes it up will be broken up, dissolved, and absorbed by other organisms. Your point of view will no longer receive inputs from senses, even the sense of time will be lost. Before you know it, a new body will be assembled for you, and your point of view will get caught up in it, and you'll be ready for the next ride :)

Poisonous plants exist everywhere. You can find some water hemlock that will kill you within an hour or so with a high dose. Kids die often from picking up the stems and using them as pea shooters, that's how toxic they are.

You can go an hour away from civilization without a mobile phone, eat a lethal dose and have a guaranteed death.

>more masculine suicide methods
>those normalfags are too mainstream for suicide imho
>I'm going to commit suicide if i don't get NEETbux. if Putin, Kabala etc.
Is this how a thread about suicide should look like? Are these suicidal people?

I'm so stupid that I'm dangerous to everyone around me. Because of saying dumb shit my whole family will turn against me if they're not against me already

>>296460
hemlock deaths aren't pleasant

>you're also an immigrant, you should feel empathy about them, they're in the same situation as you but darker skin
I'm not a nationalist (=government worshiper). I see borders as a fake and gay legalistic scam, what matters is the natural division, race.
>>296574
Autogynephilia, an alleged fetish about being turned on by imagining oneself as a succubus, which allegedly is the origin of many trannies.

>>296577
are race real, aren't they? sounds fake psyops to me

>>296578
There's no way they aren't. And I don't even know how you can call it a psyop despite all the modern propaganda about race mixing and being "anti-racist" and whatnot.

I got bullied by spics for being white.

we whites need to team up to defend ourselves
we need to form a great white co-operative
