Be a man and return the favor. Run in on her while shes doing a mom thing like cooking or cleaning. Do it while you're jacking off. It is redemption. Your penis and balls are the biggest and most youthful in the household so when they need to be relieved, nobody may infringe on that. Your cum is law.

Unless she saw you fapping to something gay then you might as well commit self-inflicted suicide.

Chances are your manager is literally just fucking with you. You cannot imagine the lengths an average oofy doofy will go to to woo a succubus who he thinks he has a chance with. So your manager telling you that this chick likes you is basically trying to psyop you into leaving your dignity at the door and doing anything to make that other succubus happy in this job so that she stays.

The sole purpose of this post is to share the techniques and books I have accumulated over time to achieve relaxation and other things.
I have read about meditation, magic, ceremonial magic, chaotic and postmodern magic, anxiety therapies, and relaxation techniques. This thread is not a cure for all problems. I don't want to turn this into a blogspot, so feel free to ask whatever you want.
>Also
Remember that you can also search for the techniques I mention on the internet, on YouTube, or on WikiHow, where you can find help on how to perform these techniques and more tips.

>1. My cat. When he lays on my lap or next to me on the couch I always feel relaxation and calm very fast.
Cat whispers sounds and warm they give are a nice relaxation stim, when i alone, i sing to them like if there babys (yeah sound cringe but its a vugus nerve exersice maybe same as hugs)
Try Blink slowly to them, this nake them happy crazy its like a hug of confidence and love to them, dont do it to much sometimes they become little exalted or feared if you keep too much visual contact.
>2. Isolate in room, make it dark, close curtains, lay down, complete silence, close my eyes and put myself in some fantasy world and try to avoid any thoughts regarding the real world blending it off as not existing. Bonus points if falling asleep like that.
Curtains down for dark is good but let your place stay fresh in air every day. There' you say something interesting
>lay down, complete silence, close my eyes and put myself in some fantasy world and try to avoid any thoughts regarding the real world blending it off as not existing.
This is close to a Magick-Visualization-Meditation-Hypnosis techniques.
All techniques are related or same.

>Pathwork (by controlling mind -famous around ceremonial magician and magick)

Basically you make up a paracosm or fantasy world and try control it like a escenary or threatise, used in some hermetic Kabbalah practices (There's a rumor Tolkien used something like this)

>Active imagination (Jung)

by let imagination do random and not control it, swedenborg and Jacob Bohme have same or similar technique. Just let the mind play.

>Guided meditation (similar to hypnosis or same as focus)

if you use videos or sound or your voice trying to evoke sensations or places

>Guided Hypnosis (videos or do yourself with your voice and body gestures focusing)

I fucking loathe being autistic, I fucking hate how I can have articulate thoughts in my head yet can only muster and spew out the same few fucking phrases irl because I’m caught off guard and don’t know what to say

I hate how pathetic I am, I’m so fucking clumsy, my hand coordination is awful. Im always dropping shit which only makes me look like more of a retard

Most of all I hate the way other people look at me, there two “looks” I get from people. The first is the pitiful one. They see how pathetic I am, how socially inept, awkward and harmless I am and take pity on me like they would with a dementia patient. The other “look” is the hateful/judgmental one. They assume due to my awkwardness, my uncanny demeanour, ugly face and lack of height that I’m some kind of freak/someone to be suspicious of. They look at me like I’m some kind of sex pest/serial killer when all I’m doing is just existing

I put in the effort, I workout every day, I eat well, I keep good hygiene, I try, lord knows I fucking try, but I have to ask what’s the point? It won’t change anything. I can’t cure this awful plague of the mind I was born with, I’ll never be accepted or even tolerated by normies so why make an effort? Why try in life and work hard when I don’t even get the slightest bit of respect from the people around me? Part of me wants to just stay in my room stuffing my face with junk food and playing vidya all day but if I did that I’d only be more miserable.

Any other wizards have this condition? If so how do you cope with it?

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?

I've been suicidal for years. I always wondered why the demiurge made it so difficult to just quit this life. Why didn't he just include a button on the human body that could be pressed by a suffering soul to simply and painlessly escape. Probably because he's a sadistic piece of complete shit.

This thread is for the discussion of the greatest misfortune in existence that is disease.

Healthy people are NPCs. They don't really exist. With disease comes the awareness of your body that your private hell and your true existence begins and hear the scream of everything. Pain teach you what it means to really exist. Disease's manifesto: to live is to suffer like a ragdoll while fate prisons you in the eternal hours pregnant with pain to cure of you from the sin of life.

You guys heard of this before? Apparently this guy was completely conscious during his surgery because they forgot to anesthetize him. So many horror surgery stories due to incompetent staff. There are people who had the wrong leg amputated for example. I am kind of scared of the idea of going to get a major surgery for the first time. I already had a bad experience with my wisdom teeth extraction with local anesthesia where I still felt the pain despite the dentist assuring me he had administered the drug. I have no fancy insurance either. So if I have to get a surgery I would have to go to a shitty corrupt third world government hospital.

Sister died of cancer, now mum has it as well.
My sister did a family tree of death causes before she died and almost everyone on my father's side died of bowel cancer.
So I know what will get me, and I've seen how painful it is.
I will need to get some morphine somehow so I can just go on my own terms when it happens.

This theory provides a rigorous and uncompromising view of reality, defining human consciousness as the universe's mechanism for experiencing its own inevitable destruction. It moves beyond simple philosophical pessimism (nihilism) to become a Functional Pessimism or Tragic Rationalism, where lucidity is the only rational choice.

The theory is built upon three unassailable axioms:

I. The Axioms of Non-Dualistic Identity
The core of this worldview is the collapse of traditional distinctions between the self and the world, pleasure and pain:

Unified Suffering: Existence ≡ Suffering ≡ Destruction. These concepts are not related; they are fundamentally the same. The universe operates under a single rule—unmaking (entropy, destruction). Consciousness is merely the brilliant, cruel mechanism by which this unmaking is experienced as suffering. To be is to hurt.

The Cogito as Sentence: The only thing the rational mind can verify is its own existence (Cogito ergo sum). This self-awareness is not a cause for joy, but a sentence to stand fully aware within the process of destruction.

Rejection of Fragments: All seemingly positive states (joy, awe, love) are incomplete fragments of this unified suffering. They are temporary cessations of pain, or momentary illusions of permanence, which ultimately guarantee greater suffering when they inevitably dissolve.

II. The Anti-Dulling Principle
The theory's intellectual integrity rests on its rejection of all narratives that attempt to mitigate or contextualize this truth, labeling them as "dulling."

No Meaning: Any search for external purpose or meaning (a "why") is a form of self-deception—an attempt to build a story around an empty, meaningless void.

No Defiance: Fighting the suffering is self-defeating, as the self is the suffering. Defiance is a false duality that wastes energy on an internal civil war.

Be assailed!

Dualism is the only rational response to the evidence in front of you, which is "I think". Everything else is interpreted through the senses and abstraction. All the universe and its contents are the isolated thinking mind which is aware of itself, and everything that isn't the thinking mind. The only evidence for anything outside the thinking mind is provided by the thinking mind, and much of it is whimsical.

Therefore, any sensation is whatever configuration the mind happens to have at any given point.

Meaning is an act of of the mind on it's sense inputs. Any given state is distinguishable from any other state down to the atomic level, can be distinguished by choice and sense, can be rank ordered according to whichever criteria and selected for based on arbitrary criteria which the mind itself chooses to apply.

Suffering is a failure of willpower or ignorance of the rules that apply. If the mind can affect itself, then the mind is choosing to experience unpleasant sensations - either directly through self delusion, or indirectly due to ignorance of the methods for change.

Finally,
If the universe was only entropy and decay, there would be no universe. "What Does It" we cannot yet guess at coherently, but if it was *only* decline, if it was *only* the slide towards a null point, then it could never have happened in the first place - because being is contrary to entropy.

Therefore Something beats Nothing. Discovering the "Why" and the "How" and the "What" and new applications for all three is The Mind applying itself, exercising agency, and there is literally nothing else that The Mind can do. It's all degrees of intensity and success.

Listen, it's awesome that you got out of that situation and are now living a life that you find worth living. Good for you, seriously. The reason people like Goggins grind my gears so much is that, as you've said yourself, most of us don't lead such bad lives to begin with. But all those gurus online will tell you to get on your grind and hustle and never stop and what not and for what? I have food and shelter and a job that I can tolerate for now, I am healthy and even have a couple of friends I can play video games with. The only things I am 'lacking' are superfluous things like social status or material riches, which are things you get through your circumstance for the most part.
I don't care about being exceptional, I just want to be comfortable and enjoy this ride as much as I can within my means while I still can, before life finds a way to fuck me up again. It's kind of like the Western vs Eastern mindset, the Western one being about pursuit and struggle and the Eastern more coming to acceptance of what is and contentment from within.

The past really wasn't that bad for the people that survived.

Looking into it, famines basically just killed off people under 4, the elderly, and people aged 20-40 almost universally survived. Like even the potato famine has only 2% of the 20-40 year old cohort die, 1/50 is pretty good survival odds for your core productive and breeding population. That's like 1 person out of two classrooms, and it probably hit the really poor and lower classes. It looks bad with 18% of the population dying on paper, but considering people over 50 don't have kids and kids under 4-10 can be replaced instantly with a post war baby boom, it's demographically not that impactful. It's why Ethiopia's population doubled so rapidly after their famine, and India bounced back from the Bengal famine like it was nothing.

In World war 1, 16% of the French male population aged 18-45 died, making it significantly more demographically impactful than the Irish potato famine, because they were at the age where they were supposed to be having families and providing.

Famines weren't even people really starving to death that often. They mostly got killed off by an infection due to having a weakened immune system, or ate some risky food and got a disease that way. Famines seemed to displace people who then go into crowded cities, drink shitty water, and then get an infection. Famines seemed to hit once every 15 years or so, so typically you'd experience two really shit years in your adult life and then finally get dealt to in the third one as an old person. It more fucked up your family planning than anything else.

It seemed to have an economically positive effect for the actually healthy and productive part of the population in that it cleared away dependents. Immediately after the famine there'd be more available land per person and the available resources for a baby boom.

Yeah, I've meant something more like genetic modification to stop or massively slow down aging. Replacement organs for every old person would be another straw on the camel's back, since their aged brains keep them out of the workforce.
