In a scale from 0 to 10, how depressed are you /jp/?
I'm at about a 6/10, I still have some strenght left to shitpost but I'd rather lie on my bed and die (I wanted to type "and do nothing", but I typed die instead, fuck...)

Because I'm not a /r9k/like scumbag like yourself, that's depressed for no reason.

[Anonymous No.]

That feel when due to adaptation level theory, even if you became rich your happiness would be short-lived and you'd go back to being a miserable NEET (albeit with a faster computer and slightly comfier chair).

[Anonymous No.]

It fluctuates, it's like 4/10 most of the time but I have bad days where it goes up to 8/10.

Sure.

But we're NEETs. Why would we be depressed? I used to be depressed until I became a NEET.

If you're depressed, go make some friends or something, seriously. This isn't the lifestyle (or board) for you.

Obviously the depression you had wasn't as severe as others, it just doesn't go away with some people. It doesn't matter if you're NEET or not.

Most of my time is spent sleeping, playing videogames, watching anime, reading books or listening to music. I don't have any friends but that's ok because I prefer to be alone and enjoy this way of life. Though I would be happier if I could do something productive once in a while. It seems to me that my life is missing a purpose, not that it's bothering me but I just feel like I should do something to help other poeple since I'm spending all my time on myself and the things that I enjoy and I think that's kinda selfish.

I used to be like this but lately every regret has been hitting me hard. Resulting in not being able to sleep, not wanting to get out of bed once I do, feeling stressed and down and easily bursting into tears, even did some minor self harm the other day.

This sucks /jp/ I want to take it easy again.

You only get around 80 years to live, which is really nothing in the grand scheme of things. Just take it easy and spend the little time you have enjoying yourself. You have no obligation to spend time helping others if you don't feel like it. Whenever someone's not being productive, someone else will just take their place. There are a lot more people than there are jobs.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm actually going through strange times.
I think I was very close to going to Gensokyo at one time. Not "baww, I'm sad, I'll cut myself", but an actual decision. Thinking straight had become too difficult to keep going. I got a call the night before (going out at 1AM would be too suspicious), and that made me pussy out and tell my family.
But now? After changing meds, getting a therapist, signing up for a course, and some other bullshit, I'm in a limbo.
I still don't have any desires (besides the only one I've ever had: a perfect 3D partner), but I can't say I feel bad either.
I even "enjoyed" thinking up some SQL queries a few days ago.
So, on a scale from 0 to 10? No fucking idea.

[Anonymous No.]

>>9191271
I forgot to say that even if I don't have any friends, I don't feel bad about it.
Maybe what's pinning me down doesn't have anything to do with a lack of interaction.

Shitpost all you want, turbonerd, but know that it's hard living with that desire when you can see from miles away that most females are rude whores. It's not like searching for a 2D waifu: in the real world almost everybody is shit.
Not that I'm worthy of anything better, but that's not exactly relevant.

>Look man, we'd probably most of us agree that these are dark times, and stupid ones, but do we need fiction that does nothing but dramatize how dark and stupid everything is? In dark times, the definition of good art would seem to be art that locates and applies CPR to those elements of what's human and magical that still live and glow despite the times' darkness. Really good fiction could have as dark a worldview as it wished, but it'd find a way both to depict this world and to illuminate the possibilities for being alive and human in it.

[Anonymous No.]

It fluctuates based on my escapism. When I get to completely forget about the world and play eroge instead, I'm at 9-10/10. But when certain circumstances prevent me from engaging in escapism or I start thinking about how I can't keep the escapism up forever, it drops down steadily. I've spent years of my life lamenting over the prospect of steady employment. And there's this fear hanging over me, that these normalfags are right and that I'm missing out on my greatest opportunity for romance by not meeting real girls at this age, and that I'll only realize this when it's too late.

Staying optimistic about the future is a skill, and I wish I was better at it.

I'd be a lot less depressed if I could find a cute /jp/sie to talk with, and be close friends with, we could share intimate feelings and confide in each other, then maybe one day after we get to know each other, we could meet up, watch anime and play games together, cuddle and maybe even cockrub a bit.

For now I just try to go on day by day, and have hope that one day that simple dream will come true.

Can't really rate it, wouldn't know what a ten feels like.

Let's just say I've come to a point where I don't care whether I live or die, or in fact would rather prefer not living.
Still, suicide is a pain, not because I'm afraid, but because I don't want my parents to have to suffer. So i just keep taking drugs and having emotional outbursts over pathetic shit, sometimes I don't even get out of bed for 3 days.

Recently I realized that I'm no different from a junkie that uses drugs to forget and be happy. The only difference is that instead of drugs I use the computer and video games.
