Does anybody else live with family who have seemingly not a care in the world to be careful with your belongings?? It's incredibly annoying and often blood boiling. I have a lot of collections, and attempt to make models like tanks/planes/warhammer stuff and quite often my parents will "inspect" my room for whatever retarded reason and often break several items. I internally call my dad "The grabbler" he picks up delicate items with his full fist, all fingers perfectly alinged - like a special ed kid grabbing a pencil. As you can imagine, this often BREAKS anything even remotely fragile.

This has been an issue I've dealt with my entire life. I'd have my pokemon cards on a playing mat in my room, parents barge in and walk right on them despite them being able to walk around it, and I wasn't even in the way. Or other times where they would grab my school work with greasy/chocolate coated hands and get stains all over it. Also they love coughing and sneezing without any attempt to cover their mouths. You will see spit and mucus stains EVERYWHERE in the house. Especially on the shared computer screen, utterly disgusting.

I have tried everything to get them to be less dirty and more respectful and mindful but they just don't care, my mother is literally too stupid to understand, my father just doesn't care. I don't really want to move out either as it's not a possibility on my wages unless I want to live in a car or next to criminal social housing with even more disgusting people.

The list goes on and on about all the dirty behaviour they get up to. I might even jot down some greentext stories if I'm bored later

Try buying a Harry Potter themed "snitch" battery-powered decor, 7$ a piece.

Put it into an old glass pc case.
Instant distraction.


Besides, you could buy a semi-busted 20$ tape player with some chill, sleepy, lullaby-ish tapes…
…and a voice-activated outlet (12$ or so)

And attach some empty can full of steel nuts (0-2$) to your door so the loud "clang" would activate the outlet.

I got a very sad event and started to write things out of nowhere, like poems and short shitty ironic funny stories in my language, even some are sad or deppresive or even dramatic histories.
Sometimes i like to draw calligrams.
I shared it sometimes with randoms or people i know and they enjoyed it.
I doing this now like two weeks and i feel kind calm and in some way at times little happy after reading or laughing at my shitty work, i dont know why but i like it feels more fulfilling than doing nothing or focus much in fixing my sadness bacause sometimes i even got some smirk or laugh of people seing my art and they looks happy to me and that's everything to fill my day with their little spontaneous bacon of sunlight in this abyss.

>i don't want to ruin your peace but i'll just feed you this thought that you should keep yourself prepared for when your brain starts returning to the baseline and thinking rationally again. maybe it'll never happen, but just in case.
No, i chill out now. i start the day writing or doing one of these thing like picrel and strangely elevates my mood a lot.
Maybe just the expression of art is therapeutic in a lot of ways. i know that this fix anything but the way elevates my mood is magical to me.
I stop a little with poems but i have a lot on a note i use it to write calligrams or time to time i re-read these to make a mind-laugh smile or something like that.
Its kinda evocative, its like i recalling a emotion from other time.
>thinking rationally again.
Maybe i think rationally everytime trying to get something healthy to my brain. staying everytime in the sad or deppresive mood of pure apocalyptic dissaster never gonna give anything good in the long run. the end of the race its the same, but its worth suffering to much during the race? some damn bad people just want the perpetuation of suffering.

I started in same way, use it, start writing sad things and later laugh off of your shit, you can read some poems of others and little by little start to find more laughable things or try more to write shitty poems. its not the result but the doing the thing, i never used crayons or color pcrabs as kid (just black pencils and etc) and in a way painting and writing with colors make me joy.

I’ve come here to bitch, wizards. I’m an apprentice barely, I suppose (22 years), but I will be a wizard (for multiple reasons and beliefs), so I like the site a lot. Anyways, I’m in despair and will be in utter and complete despair for two weeks.

My parents forced my NEET-ish ass into university because they mean well and don’t want me to die on the streets once they die but not only is university/studying not for me but I’m on med school of all things, I’ve already flunked more than one class since I started the career like 2-3 years ago, so shit isn’t going well, not only that due to a stupid retarded class I’m being forced to spend two, I mean TWO fucking weeks with normies to do sort of stupid social work in some shitty rural town that’s even more shitty than my already dog shit town (not rural), I can’t even go back home for a single day on the duration of that, I’m not sure if I’ll survive, thankfully due to my mental illness (Szpd) I’ll probably be able to detach and survive but it’s going to be horrible, I don’t even like sleeping, bathing etc on the house of my grandparents (probably the unique people whom I somewhat trust and feel “oka-ish” being around outside of my parents and older brother), I might not really feel stressed, despairing and such but I know it’s happening, I just can’t feel it due to being mentally ill, of course I can still get the somatic part anyways, so my stomach is a mess right now and I feel like shitting for 5 hours straight, my hands have trembles a bit too, it’s like I’m in purgatory or something, what the fuck did I do to deserve this ? I guess that’s what I get for being depressed and suicidal for years all the while still keeping up the lie that “I want to be a doctor” because I didn’t even think I would be alive to reach university or the career itself, nor did I have (or really have) goals or a job/career I wanted, it was easier to lie at the time and just kill myself eventually. Thankfully, I got better, and I’m even content with my life in general (which is the closest I can have to happiness, as I only get to feel emotionally happy here and there for a couple of minutes a few times per year), but now I’m stuck in this horrid situation. At moments like these, I kind of wish I could at least not be mentally ill, I would have found something I really wanted to do by now or would be able to push through this career even if it’s exclusively for the degree.

But such thinking is useless, I’m now sPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

you would probably stutter trying read your own post out loud in public, and it’s understandable since most people on this site spent years isolating in their room and lost any meaningful ability to communicate, being able to speak to normies without wanting to run away or shoot them in the head is a very difficult skill that needs to be practiced everyday to not be atrophied, most wizards cannot afford to speak to someone every single day, the fight or flight response is an annoyance at best and sweating or having a shaky voice is not going to save you from being beheaded by a normie anyways, nobody is going to give you a medal for making things harder for yourself, just take drugs and use any advantage you have to survive the horror of being alive, human bodies are imperfect, just because it’s natural for your body to release adrenaline in everyday situations doesn’t mean you should put up with it, just take the easy path

You probably should ask chatGPT/some other AI to cook a convincing literature club grade story on how horrifying it is to be a doctor.


Take 3 online tests to determine what kind of job you want to do.
Because, if youre afraid of blood and biohazardous materials (get infected once and you're in for a costy treatment)… but okay with being covered with coal and oil, then mechanical jobs are better for you than doctor ones.

 No.308578

Old people will form the overwhelming majority of the population in a few decades, so being a doctor sounds like one of the few jobs guaranteed to exist, if you're going to drop it don't expect to get a comfy job in the third world instead, unless you have rich or well-connected parents.

Again, that feeling returned, wondering why there was a kind of resentment within me. Memories surfaced of why things had to be this way. And well, my ego told me what my eyes had seen: that I was superior to the one who had prevented me from being myself.

Although it was all for naught, the sinister was already looming. But how can you banish something from your mind when it has become so fiercely ingrained?

Have you ever managed to rid yourself of a resentment that seemed to have become embedded in your mind?

It's hard to conceptualize, but I did it. Today, I have successfully rationalized it's a small group of people who got some Nietzsche-like mindset who would emotionally ask me "aren't you a [slang term for a male]?". And that doesn't reflect the values of 95-99% of males here, it's the most difficult 1-5% who assume everyone should be as competitive as *them* and who isn't, well, "their loss".

The relief is, it's not like most people would see something sussy in my behaviour, it's just a bunch of local country bumpkin »übermenschen« who would assume I was an anomaly in their »über«/»unter« dychtomy. No wonder I want to chop anyone asking this question given how sauerkraut this mindset actually is.


The moment I rationalized it was not about me I got some powerful relief. Thanks.

Try taking a day off, get a nice warm bath, feel safe enough to think about random stuff. Morning bath (1-2 hr) is a great tool for letting your mind wander without the extra adrenaline

>Were you emotionally neglected as a child?
I wonder if this led me to become who I am now, at least in social settings.
I have no idea if I suffered from this, although I remember times when I was told not to cry, or I got used to not crying over silly things that perhaps maybe weren't silly for a child.
I read those internet ads about caring for parents and children, and they recommended hugs, affection, and not denying children's pain and suffering, and that the best thing is to get it off the emotions of their chest or body.
but if this doesn't happen, then they build up a shell, armor, or something like that because they mask or hide these emotions automatically out of pure habit and training. and later they will have trouble releasing their emotions from their bodies. Babies and toddlers do this naturally when they cry.
>Also
I can't remember the last time I cried with all my might or something like that.
I wonder if this led me to be the way I am now, at least in a social way. I wonder if I can treat it. I read from an anon that some of these things can only be treated with love. But the truth is confusing.
Maybe my brain is already like this, although I read that the brain can change, as can one's habits and feelings.

>You're a dude, OP. Act like it.
rest of this post is fairly solid and i agree strongly with rejecting the whole "i need to label myself with some affliction/trauma" when in reality people are the result of their experiences (or lack thereof). e.g. most people with "autism" dont actually have some "neurodivergent" condition, they just werent around people enough/didnt get enough kindness/werent accepted. someone genuinely autistic you can tell from a mile away. most people arent. apparently having an interest makes someone autistic, not like people naturally develop interest in a specific field, you know, like what going to college or having a job requires. you dont like annoying noises like dogs barking? autistic. its all stupid catch-all junk like horoscopes. now maybe if you smear shit on walls and gush to strangers about trains, you probably are, but thats not you.

however, "youre a dudebro, act like it, man up" is such a disgustingly corny cliche for a wizard of all people to regurgitate. sort of thing some cocky normalfag would say. gross!

There's a lot of info online, just scrape off the normie mumbo jumbo they like to give. Don't trust any other homeless person either, don't make enemies but dont trust them. Often they are extremely mentally deranged or morally bankrupt and can hide it quite well.

>Schizoid
Hey that's me! And I agree completely with what you say to be honest, at least I'm not depressed anymore, if I was, college would have actually made me commit suicide.
It's been horrible to be honest, I can mask well enough to where people have no mayor issues working/interacting with me (they do know I'm not normal, and I've been told so a couple of times by normies) but I'm kinda masked and dissociated during and after class, genuinely I have to lay down for a good chunk of time, utterly defeated and tired after I get home from that shit.
Not only that, due to the anhedonia and apathy I don't give a shit about my degree (forced to get it by parents, I won't lol) and not only is my career hard as shit (medicine), it's super social so I'm genuinely dying, the worst part is of course I'm not built for this career or higher education in general (always hated studying and the education system as a whole) but my parents really want me to get a degree and I'm a leech in a third world country, so what can I really do, not like it matters too much when I'm home as I just bury myself in my hobbies, I don't really derive much pleasure from them mind you, like barely a bit here and there but they're a good way to burn time till I eventually die, and overall better than watching paint dry while I daydream.

Anyways, I relate to what you say, college ain't built for people with certain mental illnesses, especially if they have no drive/desire for that education to begin with, but well, not like we can do much, and working isn't particularly better, we genuinely are not built for society as you say, fuck this is so tiresome, good luck wizard, hopefully we'll both have a good ending, I'm definitely flunking one or two classes this semester, maybe my parents will finally get the memo and allow me to work or something.

Good luck then senior wizard, I wouldn’t wish depression on anyone, especially if like me they have another condition on top of it, hopefully you can find some release or help of some sort, even if it’s just some sort of personal peace, that’s the road I’m personally on because I don’t really believe there’s any cure for my Szpd.
Though I do recommend you to keep taking the meds for some time (I would say if you reach 1-2 months without any change then yeah, they won’t help), at least for me they did help massively (I would say they did a decent chunk of the work, the rest was trough personal efforts/changes and a the talk therapy did help a bit), but I can admit that how well they work seems to depend heavily from individual to individual (neurochemistry/genetics are a bitch) and TRD (treatment resistant depression) does exist too.

> good luck to you too fellow apprentice, give up the schools of man but do not give up the school of wizardry

I think when my realisation of mortality hit was when I was in 5th grade, which is what our school called "senior school". 1/2 was Juniors, 3/4 Middle, 5/6 seniors. I distinctly remember being in 2nd grade and thinking to myself. "I'll never be in senior school" The concept of that many years passing by didn't register, I didn't internalize it in my mind quite like this, but it felt like I'd become 20 years old before I turn 7 years old and become a senior in school. I realized that time can just fly by when you look back despite the present taking hours for even 10 minutes to pass. I say this as I'm approaching 30 and my mindset is similar. I often think I'm 40, sometimes I think I'm still 20. I really don't get it. Most times I'm not under this spell and I know my real age, but it's still weird. I feel like Im the same kid at 5 years old nothing has really changed just added responsibilities and pain.

I need no recognition, I want meaning, but education itseld doesn't give any. Being counscious of the simulation, how it works and why it exists gives a very weird feeling.

There are people who blames the rich, this and that, but the truth is that knowledge doesn't give any meaning and the slogan found in ultimate mortal kombat 3 does not make sense. In fact, knowledge of an anthill in your garden doesn't give you any power (that matters, anyway).

I'd like to go back in time, pick myself up violently against the wall, seeing eye to eye and say "IT IS ALL AN ILLUSION, A THEATER, AND YOU WILL BE TASKED TO MAINTAIN THIS ILLUSION AND YOU WILL HATE IT ALL".

If only a time machine wasn't one…
