any other hikkis herebeen one for 6 years now and it's completely ruined my brain, im barely even human anymore. my parents hate me for pathetically leeching off them for years is suicide the only way out?
>>43151883complete hikkineet for a decade now, at least.completely relate to feeling braindamaged.suicide is definitely not the only way out though. try for mental health care if you haven't, and if you feel like your parents will be supportive, try to get emotional help from them as well
>>43151883I've never worked a day in my life and I'm 26, complete shut-in too. I've been seeing a therapist to get over my social phobia, can't tell if I'm making progress though. I've been doing some mock job interviews and I at least don't completely sperg out anymore. SSRIs have helped a bit as well.
>>43151883yeah for almost ten years at this pointmight seem hard to believe but i'm actually much stronger mentally now and i've been making progress in a lot of waysbecoming spiritual has helped me out a ton, i was utterly miserable as an atheist/agnostic
>>43151883what's wrong with this
>>43151883Sort of. Basically a hikki accept for work.
No, the brain is extremely elastic its unlikely you did any permanent damage, you just need to retrain it and get tested for mental illness or chronic illnesses like sleep apnea that may have contributed.
>>43151883I'm a hikki although not a neet as I work from home,its been 5 years it all started with covid,It's lonely for sure, and my social anxiety skyrocketed after some years, If you cant find a remote job, your best bet is to kys desu
>>43151883your parents probably love you they just feel like failures and blame themselves and each other
>>43151947hell yeah!not op, but i admire your strength. idk how to explain it while not sounding dumb myself, but i just want to make sure you don't dismiss your hard work.>>43152036>mfw i wake up at 2:00 pm (at the earliest)
>>43152264thank you anon
i escaped it. i had p bad ptsd and would get jumpy when people got to close or brushed passed me. spoke so infrequently i would stutter and stumble over my words. always sick to stomach in public. very embarrassing. took about a half a year to stop freaking out going outside and a whole year of a regular work schedule to be sorta normal. biggest things that helped me was hydroxyzine for insomnia. used to try to go to sleep at 3 am and stay up till dawn if i had plans the next day. second biggest was meal replacement shakes like for old people who cant feed themselves. it gave me enough calories without throwing up to get through the morning. mint and ginger tea and menthol vape and loud music in the car to cope. oh and of course trooning out. but i wouldnt have had the confidence to do that without the first half. probably neeted in the first place from dysphoria so yeah egg meet chicken
>>43152842nah, thank you, friend.you give me aspiration to achieve what i wish i could.
>>431518837 years for me. i feel like a pig in a cage
