You know, you can still and always hit me up on steam if i am online.
I find it annoying that I can never find anyone to talk to about the topics that I am interested in.
People always find it to be too depressing or nerdy, although no one has ever used 'nerdy' in a derogative fashion it is simply the most fitting description.
Take the most recent conversation I had with someone as an example:
They make a joke about us being the same species as some other person, and the other person being messed up.
[1:10:58 AM] me: Yes.
[1:11:08 AM] me: Our species is far more messed up than just that, though.
[1:11:19 AM] me: I mean just consider that places like the Dem. Rep. of the Congo have something like 75% of their population malnourished/starving to death
[1:11:40 AM] me: and yet
[1:11:57 AM] me: the Earth's population is 7 billion
[1:12:04 AM] me: and we produce enough food per year to support ~13 billion easily
[1:12:04 AM] them: it just got too serious in here
[1:12:11 AM] them: opens a window
And its not like I can just ignore the thoughts that I have, nor do I want to. Ignoring something doesn't make it disappear, at least most of the time.
In fact I find their apparent need to just ignore reality quite depressing in itself.
What do you all think? Perhaps I take things too seriously at the wrong times. Or perhaps I shouldn't give up my ideals.

Thanks, man. It's just that the timezone differentials make it almost impossible to talk to you on weekdays.

prusse om du trenger hjelp så finns det ofte et hjelpsenter for barn og ungdom nær deg.
hadde samtale med ei der på tirsdagen. de er veldig hjelpsomme, og jeg fikk nye timer.
Exercise kind of helps me. I'm already not 100% confident in my body and it really helps me feel better. Nothing like a good jog in my opinion.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33437581]Right. This is just making me a lot sadder, so I've decided to set up an appointment with my doctor next week. Hopefully I can get into therapy. : )[/QUOTE]
Rated winner for taking a step forward. Good on you bro.
I'm extremely lonely and don't know how to make friends, or keep them.
I really need someone to talk to.
[editline]27th November 2011[/editline]
I have no one to talk to, my mom doesn't want to. My grandma doesn't want to, my grandpa doesn't want to. And my dad is "busy".
Well, perhaps I'm not the best person to talk to about sensitive matters, but I'd be happy to try to help. Feel free to add me on Steam.

You'd probably be better going to the social advice thread.

Sorry for the late reply, FP was down. I found a cool bro to talk to, he's really cheered me up.
Hey guys, are there any non-clinical ways to help against Seasonal Affective Disorder? For those you don't know what it is, some seasons of the year cause major depression for some people. For me, the Winter season has always been depressing for me. Thanks in advance.
Been cutting myself to free the voices, no more voices, no more pain.
Maybe then I can be part of normal society, no more freak show, no more no more
No more disappointment, no more prejudiced, no more hate
Normal life, yes, yes, then I can make friends, friends who accept me, friends who aren't scared of me

Make sure the light in your room/house is exacly how you want it, try to have it comfortable and perhaps even cozy when you're sitting home by for example the computer. Oh and try to eat fruit, preferbly a few every day.
Anyway, I just had a downhill moment. Played a jazz gig tonight and met two twin girls from my old school, and I was really into one of them. We pretty much just talked for a minute but it brought back some bad memories and feelings I had kinda forgotten about or atleast was good on the way. So now I'm really depressed about it. I still have that hopeful but painful feeling, that I want something to happen between us but I know better, and it sucks that I'm back at square one again.
I guess I still hope anything could happen between us but

You really shouldn't be cutting yourself (as if nobody has ever told you that). I have done it once in my life and I hugely regret it. I have also gone through a little of that 'voice' stuff. Thing is you are a part of society, and most people probably just see you as a cool but perhaps a bit of a shy guy. Don't worry about it man, it's okay, you'll find some great friends, just look at yourself and your life and either try to work out on your own whatever contradiction there is between your feelings and your mind, or talk to me. I'll help in whatever way I can, in this thread or on a chat or something, just send me a PM if so. Don't be afraid.
I'm taking 100mg each day of Fluvoxamine for about 2-3 years now. I'm noticing that it doesn't remove depression, but just increases the emotional output of shit.
When I'm happy, I'm very happy
When I'm sad, I'm very sad
When I'm angry, I'm downright pissed off. It's like a period.
Here's a little tiny half assed chart that I made:
[img]http://i39.tinypic.com/352hndg.png[/img]
I want everything to be balanced out, I don't want something that turns me into an emotional hurricane.
Any recommendations?

Go back to your physician/Psychologist/psychiatrists and tell them you are not happy with your current medication and would like them to help you reach your emotional goal.
AKA your meds need adjusting, go to the doctor is my best suggestion.
Started really thinking about suicide today.
I don't know what else to say. Or do.
my paranoia is driving me fucking insane now. i cant take it anymore

I was like that a few years back.
I just kept doing things to distract or entertain me, and eventually I got over it through waiting and motivation. I hope you feel better.
[QUOTE=xxncxx;33499744]my paranoia is driving me fucking insane now. i cant take it anymore[/QUOTE]
What exactly are you paranoid about?
like i've said before in the thread, i feel like im constantly being watch and judged. also i panic when i cant contact someone important i jump to the worst case scenario and freak the fuck out. not to mention it gets much worse when it happens for a long period of time, the last time i talked to my friend was a week ago, and i havent seen them since, nor do they respond to messages, and none of their friends know where they are either. im shaking and i feel the chills, and its very hard to type like this.

not sure if anxiety is part of the issue too.
someone please cheer me up i'm about to balls my eyes out please
Paranoia can usually be suppressed, as far I've seen with people I know, with strong mental strength against paranoia. What I mean is, you simply have to think to yourself whenever a paranoid thought comes into mind about insignificant it is, and how no matter what they think it can't affect you later in life (unless you constantly think about it, making you every anxious). It's a simple matter of self-image and how much you care about what other people think, or jumping to conclusions too easily just because you see someone talk around you.
As for the anxiety, it's just a side effect of your paranoia, cure that and your anxiety will be gone.
I know there's clinical methods, but as ROFLBURGER showed, medication isn't a perfect cure, and can lead to worse outcomes. You have to develop a strong mental resistance to some people's opinions. It works, I've seen it happen twice now.
i swear i want to hang myself right now
