People with actual depression dont cut themselves. People with BPD and psychosis cut themselves. People with BPD are mistaken for people with depression and keep on having their attention seeking culture reinforced. As a fellow depressed individual Go kill yourselves for all I care. Oh wait you wont which is why you do this shit.

Yeah it depends on the dinosaur species. some had more then others. Velcoraptor definitely did. This had some artistic interpretation. It got a big red eye and orange tips at the end of blue wings. would a predator be so colorful? Maybe, some birds and a lot of snakes are. I went with blue for a program langage I learnt.

I am 27 years old, a grown fucking man. Why the hell did I just cut myself a few days ago?

I got in argument with my parents. My mother wanted to raise my monthly food bill from $150 to $200. When I told her I'd just buy my own food, she offered that I pay for a third of the utilities instead. I am umemployed and struggling to secure a job. I have some savings built up, but it still felt like she was twisting the knife in the wound. I used to pay rent to my parents. I talked them out of that.

I don't know why but I felt so angry. It's not like I could've just hit them or whatever. I tried to contain myself around them so I walked out. When I got to my room, I just started cutting myself. It felt good. After a few minutes I realized how stupid I was being and quickly washed up in the sink and threw some bandages on. It was my sister's birthday and I really didn't want to ruin it for her. I put on a long sleeved shirt and talked to friend for a bit. Then I celebrated my sister's birthday.

I'm intending to keep it a secret from my parents and friends. The last thing I want to do is use my wounds for attention. I don't want to guilt trip my parents into treating me differently. That being said I've been keeping some distance from them.

I remember cutting a few times when I was a teenager. But nothing like this. The funny thing is, I'm not Borderline (my therapist has echoed this sentiment) yet here I was cutting myself. I was just angry and I didn't have an outlet for my aggression. I have Depression, OCD, and Autism which makes my head a very difficult place to be. My parents are aware of my challenges but there's so much I'm just not comfortable talking to them about.

The scars are already starting to fade, except for this one deep one on my wrist. There's a cut, half a milimeter thick, and it's still kinda fleshy and sticky, as per when I changed the bandage two days ago. Hopefully I won't have to be wearing long sleeves into the summer.

I dont know what to do

that sounds so dumb, she's only making getting independent more difficult for you

what if you told them you got no more savings and so you can't pay
>intending to keep it a secret
yes I think that's a good idea too
>won't have to be wearing long sleeves into the summer.
I guess it depends on how visible they are
>Why the hell did I just cut myself a few days ago
you have a lot of crap on your hands and it's all overwhelming and it makes some sense that when you got angry and wanted to do something you hurt yourself
It simultaneously gets the anger out and it's also q distraction from what made y angry because your brain's focuses of the wounds and that you have to take care of them
not that it's a good habbit

Though I feel your mental state might be worsening because of the constant stress and other mental issues
but it's not really a problem with you it's the environment you're in
Having to deal with that every day would make anyone unhappy
>>
>>83870067
My mental health has been a mixed bag. I'm a bit more in touch with reality, especially as I've gotten better at handling OCD. Sometimes I feel like nothing's wrong at all, but then my emotions will hit me like a truck.

I remember when I was working at a job that made me miserable. I was a janitor at a college. I'd be feeling fine for one moment when suddenly I'd have this random panic attack. I'd start thinking of my future, how trapped I felt, my loneliness and the emotions would become very overwhelming very fast. I'd collapse on the floor struggling to breathe...and then in a few minutes I'd get up, feeling normal again.

My parents have been out for a few days, leaving me alone in the house with my two cats. I've yet to tell any IRL friends or family what has happened, nor do I want to. I haven't gone out except to grab lunch with friends. I found myself completely asborbed in creativity, or watching anime. Steins;Gate in particular provides me a lot of comfort. I like its message about hope admist despair. It has a sway with me most stories don't have.

I quit that job and got a new job as an exterior cleaner last year, which brought its own problems. They promised me work over the winter and didn't give it to me, so I'm stuck without work. Thankfully they want to rehire me in March.

Still, almost every job I've had has made me want to kill myself. I can literally feel my life slipping away every time I clock in, doing things I hate so I can pay bills. This exterior cleaning job threatened to fire me because I looked too sad at work. I want to leave but they're the only work I have right now.

The kitties are alright! They've been demanding a lot of attention today.

>me and my orthodontal followup
I managed to book an appointment, but for some reason I can't get an actual dental examination, just a quick check before seeing a hygienist.

>i know when my family dies there won't be a damn penny passed down to me
That sucks. I know my mother thought the same for one reason or another but there ended up being a lot of stuff my grandma accumulated over the years that she was able to flog on eBay. She made a pretty decent amount doing that.

Definitely. I've never (by my own volition) learned another language, so it's funny seeing letters and feeling like the shape is "wrong". Like the Cyrillic letter that makes an "f" sound doesn't look like it should sound that way. It's like seeing a car make bell sounds when it starts.
>what are your thoughts about it?
Could be really cool, there's no handling of the dead just cementary maintenance. I've only been once or twice to a graveyard, so being around one regularly would be interesting. Pay is good too, 20CDN an hour.

Yeah nothing can really be done about it unless I'm extremely likely and get to do a job i enjoy. It's why I don't see much of a point in living. If I'm just gonna do somethin I hate for 40 hours a week, why am I alive?

>>83877634
It's not fun work, especially in the extreme heat or cold. I didn't sign any contract they just lied in the interview. It's a small business so they can get away with a lot.

>>83880118
On a related note, the thing that's been keeping me going is...Steins;Gate. I love Okabe's story, a mad scientist's triumph over despair. I watched the movie the other night and somehow I liked it more than the first time: because love prevailed over all odds, hope won over trauma and regret, and Okabe was very truly alone. It was beautiful.

I'm playing through the visual novel. It's been distracting me from darker thoughts. I haven't cut myself since I was a teenager so this is sort of a weird time.

Hope y'all are well.

I have a chronic sense of impending doom and I am strongly convinced a civil war is going to break out in the US soon
I have not been able to relax or "clam down" in fucking years at this point

My problem is I don't know if I'm delusional or if I just know too much

No answers here, but I'm guessing this was rhetorical. I'm alive to serve my family and then die, everything else is just dressing up that fact.

>you learned Japanese right? What helped you the most to retain everything?
On and off over the years. I'm not even N5 yet lol. But Anki is very good for memorisation.

I remember when DDR was everywhere but I can't think of the last time I saw a cabinet.
Do you like DDR a lot? Have you tried any of the other Bemani games?
>Does the gloom permeate whatever you're doing, or are you lying down and feeling it?
Pretty much whenever it feels like it.

>I am strongly convinced a civil war is going to break out in the US soon
From an outsider's perspective, I don't think that's something you need to worry about. The pendulum always swings back.
In the meantime I'd recommend not looking at any news if you can avoid it. That's been my policy for a while and it seems to work well enough.

>Reading this gave me a shot of dread, I really don't have anything planned out after getting work..
On the bright side, not every job is terrible, just most of them. For me I want to escape the rat race and make a living off my creative outlets. I've made a few bucks off of it already. It's not easy but it sure beats having a boss. At least, you have to find a job you don't mind doing.
>Which ones have you read
I've read a handful. Slay the Princess is a pretty fun one. Steins;Gate I'm reading right now but it's loooooong. Just disappearing into another world helps me a lot. Steins;Gate gives me hope when I need it most.

>>83881668
>I have a chronic sense of impending doom and I am strongly convinced a civil war is going to break out in the US soon
I understand where you're coming from. I will point out news stations always exgaggerate everything, but on the other hand I can no longer deny the possibility of civil war.

It's worth of note that even in countries with civil wars, life goes on normally in a lot of areas, and it's rare for a large percentage of the population to die. That being said, I'd move to a rural area if I were you.

Finally: THERE IS HOPE. We can make a difference in the world with small acts of kindness. I know that sounds like a shitty motivational quote but if we focus on helping the people around us, we push back that darkness just a little bit. The darkness cannot comprehend light. And in the end, good conquers evil, for it is in evil's nature to eventually destroy itself, whereas goodness preserves and cherishes life. Do not fall into the trap of despair. That is what the Enemy wants.

All we can do is do the best with the time that's given to us. Maybe you won't be able to stop a civil war, or save the world, but you can protect and love your family, friends, neighbors.

If your situation was hopeless, their propaganda wouldn't be necessary.

I know I'm just a random anon, but I hope my words can give you some comfort.

I can relate. There were almost no arcade machines where I used to live. I need to start taking advantage of having some near me now. Once I've sent everything off I think I'll just spend the whole day there playing Sound Voltex.

I'm interesting in writing, film, art, visual novel design, you name it. Of course it's extremely difficult to make any sort of living in those industries. I understand the odds are against me but I'm trying my best to hold onto hope for a better future. I'd be much happier working indepedently. I've been more productive than ever creative wise, and my endurance and skill has only increased. I'm enjoying it more too. It provides an escape from the horror of everyday reality. I'm trying to remain positive and fight the overwhelming negative thoughts. Cutting myself last week out of nowhere, despite having not done it in over a decade, really fucked with my head.

Hopefully, I can leave an impact on someone. Stories can change the world.

maybe try making friends with similar interests as you anon. not only do they understand the struggle, but in creative industries, having contacts makes things way easier. it doesn't have to be some formal phony shit like american psycho, one of the best contacts i ever made is a close friend who played dnd eberron with me in high school.

>>83887920
Hullo cat. I'm okay...I've been feeling rather depressed and anxious. Trying to concentrate on art but it's hard. Once I'm done drawing I'll probably have to go the gym. It's awkward running with long sleeves on. I'll probably play Steins;Gate when I get home (I know I've been yapping about it but I just really love it)

How are you? I hope you're doing well.

>>83888385
It's one way to live forever, I think. There's also eternity with Jesus, but I'm not here to proselytize anyone. People underestimate the impact stories have. Art is important, it's how a culture expresses its most important ideas.

>>83888623
I have a few creative friends, I've been making contacts with a few VN developers who seem interested in collabing. Networking is hard for an autist like me--I think it's better to make actual friends than "business contacts".

>how is that pesky thing bothering you?
i've been like that for a while but it felt so bad lately and i was able to describe it by saying i regret being happy a lot of times. i feel like i have two moods/personalities in my brain that switch a lot, and it's so tiring when they switch. a "happy" mood that i mostly feel bad during it's time i feel like im faking and i hate myself when it becomes like that
and a sad mood that makes me feel so calm but makes me regret falling into the trap of "happiness". i prefer this.

because no matter what, whenever i feel happy i'll probably have something to kill my happiness after.
and a big reason of my mood swings is socializing. sadly, i have to socialize sometimes.

>it gets better sometimes and worse sometimes
yeah. it might depend on if you get out, get enough sunlight and a lot of other factors, some physical, some mental. for me it's been a bit worse lately. how are you holding up in general?

>take all the time you need!
i took a long enough break, i think ;D

>i regret being happy a lot of times
interesting way to look at it. i usually try to aim for being content rather than happy. being happy is a powerful emotional high, but that usually leads to a crash and a pretty bad low.

>i feel like im faking and i hate myself when it becomes like that
hm. that's sounds like an odd state of mind. usully you don't really think about other stuff while being happy or having fun and that's not really faking it, is it? are you alone in those moments or with other people?

>a sad mood that makes me feel so calm
i've got something similar. whenever i let myself have really sad and self-deprecating thoughts, i have this sort of tingly sensation running down my spine. it's really addictive and i have to actively stop myself from going down that road by focussing one anything else.

>i'll probably have something to kill my happiness after.
sadly often how it is. i guess people like us need to take calm and content over happy, but we can always hope for the best. (^-^)

Even if you're forced to sit next to him, saying you got a bad headache could keep him out of your hair if he talks too much.
>whenever i feel happy i'll probably have something to kill my happiness after
I get this too, less as distinct moods but more instantaneously. Like I'll have something positive happen, and then I'll be flooded with a wave of self hate before I've had a moment to be happy. Been happening less often.
