Ooooor maybe you came to a forum of an obscure game where you barely know anyone because you feel like you have people to talk to here

Anyways. I know how you feel. However make sure you don't confuse dissatisfaction with boredom. Maybe you're bored with your life, not depressed.

I think we can help you better if you tell us a little about yourself and your life. How old are you? Where do you live (city)? What's your job? Maybe you are dissatisfied because you hate your job. Or the city you live in.

Coming here to talk to people? You may be right. There aren't too many people for me to talk to.
I rarely talk to anyone besides my family. And basically, nearly every connection I had - for example, with my former classmates - just ended.
I'm quite sure it's not just boredom. Boredom was what I feelt when discovering that I could no longer enjoy my de facto hobby and daily activity:
playing video games. That was the reason I asked for suggestions here, to find something I could enjoy.
But this time it's different. I feel that the state of my life and the entire world is not good. And nothing could make it better.

What could I tell about me?
About my age, I'm at an age where I'm offically recognised as an adult.
But I don't really feel to be an adult. Let alone mature.
Well, I don't live in a city. It's a smaller village. It's not that good to live here, but I think it could be worse.
I don't have a job. Currently I'm in school. Actually not far from finishing it. The funny thing is, I hate both learning at school and work.

Start a physical hobby, like martial arts. Or just go running or swimming, although personally at least, I have a hard time keeping that up without any ulterior motive. (Some people say they enjoy running, but I've never felt that way. I can tolerate it at best.) BJJ is great, because it's both physically and mentally challenging. (And also effective in real fights, not just in a sporting context.) I've noticed that physical activity does a lot more to improve your mood than anything mental. Especially if you're in poor shape, improving your body has a huge effect on improving your mood.

Physical activities never made me feel better. I always end up getting tired and sometimes in an even worse mood than before.

I go for a walk like every day if it's not raining. It makes me feel pretty good.

A physical hobby would be great to find, but really any hobby would be good at this point. Writing's never a bad choice for a hobby. Drawing/painting is a great choice too. Hell, even making a dmod isn't a bad hobby. These sort of things require you to use your brain to be creative and no matter how bad you might feel if you stick with it you'll eventually start enjoying it.

I struggled with kinda severe depression and and anxiety until just a few years ago, and even now sometimes things aren't that great. I'm not sure what your situation is (whether you live in the US and are on your parent's insurance, or if you're in a wonderland where medical expenses are paid for by magic fairies, or something else), but it might be worth going to see a therapist.

When I was in college, I didn't really make any friends in the real world (online was different, given this here web site). Throughout all four years, I made a grand total of 2 friends (who I met in my third year), and I'm only facebook friends with one of them now. In my third year, I realized that this wasn't just going to change by itself, and I should do something about it. I went to the student services center, and somehow (I honestly don't remember how it happened) I started going to some individual therapy sessions, and even some group therapy sessions. To be quite honest, I don't feel like I got much out of these; I think throwing a kid with social anxiety into group therapy sessions was one of the psychology departments fun experiments, on par with sending someone afraid of clowns to Clownapalooza 2003.

But, after college, I got a job, and things weren't much better. After working for three years (I'm just recognizing the pattern now, hmm), I tried again, calling the 'Behavioral Health / Employee Assistance Program' phone number on my health insurance card, and they set me up with a local therapist. The therapist recommended a psychologist, and I started taking some anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication as I continued seeing the therapist. After a couple years of medication and therapy, I changed somehow. It wasn't like the therapist unlocked any huge revelations ("Oh, I'm afraid of clowns because my mom is literally a clown and I just noticed that"), but it helped challenge most of my self-loathing and depressive thoughts, and helped redirect me to be more positive, usually.

After that anti-revelation, I stopped taking the drugs, and stopped going to therapy, and have been mostly happy about life. I still don't like most people, but I'm ok with that instead of stressing about it.

So, if you have the opportunity, I'd recommend trying to see a therapist and/or psychologist. It probably won't help right away, but over time it might.

Anyways, back to the subject. I think it'd be best if you combine a little bit of medical help with your own will to change your life. You need to think differently upon certain aspects of life. I don't really have too many friends, and that is because I don't really like many people And I'm happy with that. Some people are more introverted and some are more extroverted, and you don't need to feel bad about it.

I feel that the state of my life and the entire world is not good. And nothing could make it better.

I'm going to tell you something that my parents and brother (who is and aspiring psychologist) told me: Things change for the better if your attitude changes for the better. Look more positively on things and be calmer when you have a problem. Don't take things in life so seriously. If you live your whole life in worries, then it's kind of a wasted life.

The funny thing is, I hate both learning at school and work.

Neither do I. School is full of shitty classmates and close-minded teachers. As for work,I wanna have a future where I'm my own boss. So you ain't alone

Well, I've been attending to a psychologist for years. But this doesn't help me. I feel I ran out of options.

@Bluedy
I don't know what genre that music is, but not really my taste.
As for me thinking more positively about life - sorry, but you have a better chance to become the President of the USA than to change my attitude.
I was always quite pessimistic and that didn't change over time.
I'm not surprised by the fact that the thread got derailed, in this place pretty much any thread could go completely off topic.

Daniel, there are clowns. 
Sounds a bit like the stuff I went through at the end of school. I used to be a deeply pessimistic person (I still am somewhat), and was very, very unsatisfied with my life. That whole "think positive" BS just bounced right off me, so I took the opposite tack and figured out how to make it work for me rather than keep me completely paralyzed. If life is shit and it doesn't matter, you might as well throw yourself at the things you want to experience. Accept that you're going to die, and maybe even soon or horribly, so you might as well go do whatever it is you want to do until that time, no matter how ridiculous.

To get me out of the space of sedentary inertia I was in, I had to make bold, seemingly desperate moves that I think most sane people would eschew, but I'm 100% convinced that my life would still be garbage if I hadn't. It also helped as a buffer against my formerly shit self-esteem as there's nothing better to counter negative self-messages than having real, tangible examples of success.

It's not a path or mindset I would recommend to most people, but I was ducked up enough that it really was my best option.

"I'm completely dissatisfied with my life and the entire world."

The answer to the following question is probably 'yes', but, have you tried to find what really makes ou dissatisfied with your life? Because I kinda get the feeling that your dissatisfaction isn't entirely your own.

-There aren't too many people for me to talk to. I rarely talk to anyone besides my family.
What makes you think it is a bad thing that you don't have a hundred friends to talk to? Or that talking mostly to your family is bad? Even if you don't talk much to them either.

-I'm at an age where I'm offically recognised as an adult. But I don't really feel to be an adult.
What makes you think you are not an acceptable example of an adult? And what makes you think you are supposed to be one?

There's something of a pattern there about you being something and feeling like you shouldn't. I believe you should, before anything else, ask yourself if you want to be who you are right now, or not. Are you sincerely dissatisfied with your life or is the pressure and influence from others around you making you feel like you should be dissatisfied?

My recommendation for something to do, is to venture a bit into philosophy and history (*groan*).
For real though, history might help you find that times used to be both better and worse at the same time. It gives you a perspective that, most of times, there is no 'good' or 'bad', just different.
With philosophy, you might find that you are not alone in your struggles. Sure you have your own particular differences from everyone else's, but you will find that it is ok to feel down, without hope, purpose or meaning. Some have it easier, some don't and, it sure is unfair, but you have to find your way through it.
I find this YouTube channel really helpful on these matters.

I hope it doesn't sound like I'm trying to diminish what you are feeling, because I am not. I've just recently had what I believe to have been the most important turning point in my life and those thoughts above are some things I learned while going through it, and I hope they can be useful in this moment you are going through.

I completely understand what you are going through. I've experienced this and more during various times in my life. You are evidently much younger than I am so I can't really tell you or advise you how to deal with being young in these modern times. It was very different when I was younger. Not better or worse, just different.

I agree with Redink1 on his suggestions.

You said you've been seeing a psychologist for years. I do know that if one doctor (of any type) isn't working for you, you have to hunt around until you find one that does. It's frustrating, but if you do find the one that works you for you he/she can help change your life. There are also some short-term medications that can help your brain make permanent changes by giving you a mental experience beyond what you are used to. I am not recommending anything, but for me the 2 medications that helped me see things differently were Citalopram and Trazodone together. I took them for a year and then stopped. They made a marked change in my emotional state and also my mental outlook. I never took Prozac or anything like that and never wanted to.

That being said, I am not fixed and perfect. I am comfortable now with who I am and where I am. I understand now that I will never change suddenly into the person I always thought I'd be or wanted to be. I am what I am. All I can do is make small changes and move myself as far as I can in whatever direction I need to go, even if at first it is painful to do so. The "normal" I always wanted to get to (social and so on), I will never get to. It is simply not my nature - it is just my desire.

For me, not being happy or sad is fine. People who are happy or sad all the time usually end up in a mental institution. Being in the middle, neither happy or sad, just fluctuating between the two, is fine with me. It works for me. Hopefully you can find a way to live your life and not be too much one way or the other.

I do know that boredom is our brain telling us that we need to do something else - even if that something else is not what we want to do.

November 29th 2016, 09:23 PM

Me too.
But two things have made me begin to try to overcome that hatred.
One, talk things over with my family; before, I barely talked even with them, who are the closest people to me and my context, and that can help me in the best way possible to find solutions to problems.
Two, finding a source of motivation, which for me is a person I met and that I admire.

These two things ignited a process of thought that let me review what I have done right and what I have done wrong in a good part of my life, what I actually like and what I actually dislike, with little to no bindings to what others think or what pressure they might put on my decisions.

Knowing this information, I have been trying for a while to repair damage I did and deal with present problems, one step at a time.

What makes you think it is a bad thing that you don't have a hundred friends to talk to?
The bad thing is - I have no friends to talk to. I feel lonely.

Or that talking mostly to your family is bad?
Family is not enough for me. In fact, I feel I don't even have a proper family.
Actually, EVERY single connection I had with people outside my family is broken.
If people don't talk to me, nothing will make me start a conversation. So, in short: I'm an one-way street.
Can you imagine a life where you can only keep any connection to any person if they MUST be the ones who initiate every single time and be the ones forever?
And these persons would need to always to do that and never giving up? And you being the person who absolutely refuses to change?

What makes you think you are not an acceptable example of an adult?
My childlike behaviour and dependence on others, just to name a few.

And what makes you think you are supposed to be one?
Laws. Not much else.

My recommendation for something to do, is to venture a bit into philosophy and history
I'm not interested in philosophy, and in history all I can see is a long way downward, the way that lead to one of my reasons for complete dissatisfaction.

you will find that it is ok to feel down, without hope, purpose or meaning
Sorry, but I could never accept my life to be like this. I could never accept a life without meaning or living one so... ordinary like the ones basically everyone else around me lives.

@dinkmega
Unfortunently, no person I talked to (inside or outside my family) could find a soloution for any of my problems.
And a source of motivation? Where and what? I have no motivation for anything whatsoever. And I never found anything or anyone who could motivate me.
November 30th 2016, 06:09 PM
peasantmb.gif
Hmm.
Well, my family didn't actually find the solution to the problems I am/was having, they helped me find it, and together we have come to put the solutions to action, one step at a time. I can't do everything, but yes, I have to put most of the effort.

My source of motivation, it's probably funny. I don't know it physically, I met this person playing an online teamwork-based videogame. I have been playing and liking videogames for at least 15 years, and I don't find myself stopping in this hobby anytime soon.
In summary, I found it doing stuff that I like to do.

This is what helped me anyway, might not work for everyone.

Welp, I hope you can see that one path to live an ordinary life ("like the ones basically everyone else around me lives") is not putting effort into anything.

If you don't put any effort on your job, education or into your business idea, you'll live your whole life earning an ordinary minimum wage. And so on..

If anything dephends on me doing something, it's doomed to fail.

Then, basically, we can post all the things that motivates us here but, since it will always require effort on your part to at least try any of them, nothing is going to help.
Honestly, if you are hoping to feel some magical 'click' with something someone may post here, I'm sorry, it is just not how it works.

I hate putting effort into anything. Really.

I went through my school years as the 'natural born genius' who, without putting any effort into studying, would still get the highest grades in class. Everyone around me was certain that I would have a brilliant career, but it finally came the time where I had to make an effort to get something - a job, and I simply couldn't progress from there.
I believe the years I went through school (being rewarded with no effort) made me used to it. I still have problems with effort and working towards long term goals, but finding the issue and its cause was the start of the process to put my life back together.

I find it interesting that you said "I hate putting effort into anything", instead of "I can't put effort into anything".
So, why do you hate it?

I went through my school years as the 'natural born genius' who, without putting any effort into studying, would still get the highest grades in class.

I think this is a very common occurrence in basic education, even if one is not particularly gifted, but just slightly above average. The difficulty level is so low that any moderately intelligent person will feel like a champion. It's also cognitive bias, because in their mind people tend to put a lot of weight on successes, and dwell very little on occasions where they didn't do particularly well. Often you don't even realize it when you don't do well. What's that saying, 'it's the smart man who knows they don't know anything'? At least for me, it wasn't until mid-to-late 20s that I suddenly realized with a start that 'Welp, maybe I'm not actually that much smarter than everyone else.'

I'm not sure what got into me that time. Pretty embarrassing. I mean, c'mon.

So true. I remember being happy about an 'above average' grade I got in a national exam, somehow ignoring how mediocre it was when compared to the top placed students.

The biases we build and carry inside our heads can be very powerful, often making us overstate how good or bad is the situation we are in, individually and globally.

I feel for you. I've been badly depressed too and thankfully I am not now. So please hang in there and try to get through it. It's certainly difficult, but it is doable. Do not give up on yourself.

You've probably heard some well-meaning but inaccurate comments that it's all in your head. It's NOT. Depression can have many causes, physical or psychological. It is also partly hereditary but that is certainly not the only reason for having it. A doctor can help you figure out what is causing yours and how best to treat it. So please do consider getting professional help. God bless you and I hope you have a great day.

I think that's why the possibility to make off-topics is there.

BUT

Some things should be taken seriously, because they ARE SERIOUS.
Just like this thread.
Off-topics are also there for this kinda thread, where people talk about their problems in reallife.
And those threats should be taken seriously.

I HAD A COUSIN THAT I LOVED VERY MUCH, HE GOT THIS WAY AND KILLED HIMSELF LAST YEAR! NOW I HATE MY COUSIN FOR DOING THAT.

DON'T HATE YOUR LIFE! IF YO DO, FIND A WAY TO LIGHTEN IT UP!
THROW A PARTY! GO DO SOMETHING THAT YOU NEVER HAVE DONE BEFORE! LEARN TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT!

dude, are you serious? do you have any clue how depression works? you don't just say "WELL, I'M GONNA GO ICE SKATE! WOOOO!" you say "eh, i don't really feel like it. i want to do something...but i don't know what."

it's like those dumb posts saying to choose happiness. you literally don't choose that. that implies people choose to feel horrible and really, why would you?

Yeah, you were, and looking like an absolute ass whilst doing so.
Depression is not as clear cut as 'go do something fun' or 'stop being sad'. There is no singular reason for depression to happen, sometimes it's a chemical imbalance in the brain, sometimes it's because everything a person does doesn't pan out, on a consistent basis, seemingly without fail. A lot of the time, it's something they can't control, not without a lot of outside help.
When it comes to helping a person who is dealing with depression, getting mad at them will not help, it will only worsen the depression and, in the case of people having suicidal thoughts, will actually make them more likely to commit suicide. Empathizing and being supportive and understanding when it's the right time to speak is essential.
Living is not a privilege, nor is it a right. We all live because we have to, to experience the world, to make it all worthwhile. Life, ultimately, is meaningless. It has no meaning, no answer, because there is no question, nothing to bring meaning into it. And that, in itself, is a beautiful thing, because life is meaningless, we can instill meaning into it. Whether that meaning is created through being kind to all life, or devoting your life to a deity, or even just simply living life as you see fit, it ultimately does not matter, so long as you live so there is meaning, if not for others, then for yourself.

@RoamingGuest, I can empathize with you to a certain extent. I have no reached the point of despair so great that anything seems like the better option. Life is tough, and it will always be difficult to life life in a way that makes us happy or even merely satisfied. I'm stuck living with my parents after an entire year of failure living with my cousin. I made some pretty bad decisions, some of which left me in such a state that if I had considered death a better alternative, I might have given it thought.
I want you to try an experiment for me, I want you to write down everything that makes you smile. I want you to write down everything that warms your heart, puts a spring in your step, anything that holds special meaning for you. I'm not saying sit down and think about things that make you happy, I want you to carry something, a phone, a notebook, hell, even your arm and a sharpie, any time you come across something that makes everything seem even the merest bit better, I want you to write it down.
Every week, I want you to read what you wrote, I want you to count how many things make life just that little bit more bearable. It will not be the end-all-be-all cure for anything, but it will make life have that much more meaning.
I hope this helps, especially more so than Baphomet's rather confusing insane troll logic.

I don't think so. Because When you think 'I MUST live, I MUST live' Is life really then something you can enjoy?
I would see life as a present. Something you could do everything with (I wrote 'could', because you shouldn't do EVERYTHING with it. You should decide what's right or wrong). You also have the decision to throw it away. But the question is:
Is live really worth it throwing it away?
Think of it.
I like the idea of the list you wrote at the end. Because at the end, even if you feel depressed, it's a long list. And if the list isn't long, you haven't written everything down. That's for sure.

TRY MAKE AN EFFORT BEFORE iTS TOO LATE AND YOU FALL BEHiND

This is true. That old saying "its is never too late" is a lie in most cases. There are some, but very rare exceptions.

And if you think its hard now, it will get even harder. One day, you'll be forced to do something you absolutely hate ( earning for living ), and things pretty much spiral down from that point. Especially if you're not, and from what I can see, you're not an enthusiastic person.
I also find hard these days to be part of something, because I hate most people I'm surrounded with, and these new "western" ways of getting a job starts really to get on my nerve.
"Hello", say the smiling blond behind the counter. "Are you an enthusiastic person, a great team player who can work alone in stressful environment overtime for miserable salary that you might not get at the end of the month? Also, what do you think about our company? Would you shed your blood for it, and cut your own genitals if we ask you to do so?".
For @#$% sake, just ask me like a normal person where I worked before, and tell me if I got the job or not.

Now you might think, that I drove away from your subject, but in the end, it's the fate that waits for you, if you don't do something.

I feel like I must clarify. We have to because we were born. In choosing the way we live, we choose the course our lives take. Through the interactions with others, we are impacted both positively and negatively, how we deal with the repercussions of our own actions, as well as the actions of others, also shapes how our futures are.
I believe, personally, that life is not simply contained within a single existence, but is stretched between many lives. Just as the things we do in our past can haunt us, the things we do in past lives also impact us, especially in ways we don't foresee happening.

Sorry guys, it just felt that there was no more purpose for a thread that went completely off-topic.
You know, there isn't much that I do in my life. Playing video games, watching youtube videos, and reading about old video games.
And school, I hate that. I'm close to finishing high school, and with that I must do something... well, I don't know the proper English word for it.
But I can write the word in the other foreign language I (somewhat) know - German. Abitur. I know at least one of you (JustaGhost) knows German, so perhaps he/she can explain it. One of the problems is: I have no future. I don't know what will happen, but I have no plans. Nothing but uncertainty...
And I feel that I have no real family, and no real home. You know, it's a weird feeling. I can't find my place in the world. A way to describe it could be: I can't find home in my own homeland. Anything I've thought of that I'd like to do, but didn't have the strength to do? Well... there are things.
I thought and dreamt about travelling. But I never travelled any long distance. I have no mood to do anything, and even walking is hard for me.
I also thought that maybe once I would make a few videos, reviewing games, talk about very obscure video games, or hell, even doing commentary on DMODs. But I can never do it. My only other hobbies aside for using the computer are collecting video games and books. But prices are high, and it's hard to come across retro games around here.
I see some of you were worried about me. I guess all I can say is: thanks.
I also noticed "someone" screwed with the title. Very funny.

2nd generation. No easy way to be free. 
to all: I think that Arbitur means "High School".

to RoamingGuest: Perhaps a person as fluent as you in English, despite it not being "your" language, should give yourself credit for being able to write. All Authors of any value were voracious readers once. Maybe your reading hobby means more to you than you realize. Writing is often a cathartic and fulfilling experience you share with others.

As for finding your way in life, (almost) no one has it easy, really. The thing is don't quit. You will fail. You will feel lost. You will feel cheated. You will see things go wrong. But you will only succeed if you try again, if you keep trying.

Hang in there. Almost everyone around you has some kind of pain inside them. Really. We just keep on keepin' on. We adjust. We struggle. We adapt. We triumph.

Decades ago, I was at a low point, and like my father, I took advice from his father. We each took it in the form of a short inspirational reading. I carried it in printed form in my wallet for years. Then I carried it in text form in my P.D.A. then my smart phone.

Perhaps you will find something in it for yourself.

=======================================================================
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius

the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always
will solve the problems of the human race.

As a writer, I can confirm there's no substitute for writing a good story, even if it's mostly because you like to read/write. Maybe if you wrote a story, doesn't matter if you plot it out in advance or not, maybe that would help.
The trick with that, though, is knowing that your first will be terrible, and having the will to rewrite it from scratch, but better. I've recently had to do that after fifteen or so chapters because I'd channeled too much sorrow and written myself into an inescapable pit where nothing good would have happened.
I actually have more material for the rewrite than I did when I started writing the story initially.

The phrase "No one who wanders is ever truly lost" comes to mind.

Uncertainty has been a constant in me and in some of the people that have been close to me. One of my current closest friends traveled as far as India a few years ago and, I believe, he found some answers there.
I'm over 25 years old, graduated, and I haven't had a stable job and income in quite a bit of time for a few reasons.
You're not alone in this uncertainty.

Retro games? well, TDN is probably one of the places where people know quite a bit (or a lot) about that. Many are even freeware, abandonware or quite cheap if you're truly interested in looking for them; and able to run them in not-so-high-end computers. Some need configuration, yes. Some need a lot of reading, trial and error steps, yes. But if you value retro games for what they are, I believe you could find this effort rewarding.

Books and videogames? You probably could combine those two hobbies into one. There are some quality fan fictions around, but sadly I can't help much there.

"You have to travel to truly know other cultures and places" - For many of us, including me, traveling is not always possible. And if that phrase was true, there probably wouldn't be books, photographs, postal cards, among many other things. Thanks to internet, I have gotten to know people from quite a few places around the world, even if it's just from exchanging text messages.

Make videos about videogames? Well, lately I have been into recording clips that I find funny or curious when playing videogames. They're awful compared to others that already exist, like the ones from a bit more famous youtubers or casters. But they're a start. They will help me in the future to remember fun stuff. In the present, they help me to review my mistakes on competitive or semi-competitive games. I share it to people that might care. I get few views and not many likes, but I don't care much about that. I do it for fun, to remember those moments later on, or to have something to talk about in case someone cares as time passes. And in the process, I'm learning video editing and being able to summarize and highlighting videos of 5 or 10 minutes into 1 or 2 minutes. I believe it's working.

Sorry that I'm so late at explaining:
Abitur is sort of a test you do after High school. There are a few subjects you have to write a big main-test on (you can choose a few of the subjects, for example biology, but you also have to write about some subjects, for example maths) and at the end you'll get a "school certificate" of the Abitur with the marks of the tests. The better the average the better is your chance of a good job.

@Roaming guest:
I really hope, that, what I write, is really something what will help you. Well, let's give it a try:
I think you hate school for the reason that you've got so much to do for it, right? And yes, learning for the (in German we often just call it "Abi") Abitur is hard. But maybe your motivation fails so often (Can you say that in English?) because you see the whole learning-stuff as one, big thing. But if you begin to learn for the Abitur like that:
First, just pick a little topic of one subject and learn it. Then, pick another little topic and learn that. Maybe, before learning, copy the little topic you want to learn from your exercise book in an extra notebook. And so on and so forth. Just little topics and you will see, it's much easier than learning everything as a big thing. Believe me.
Do you know the book Momo (I think it's translated to English, if not, I don't think you know it( or are you a German also?))? Beppo, the road sweeper says that when he sees the whole street he still has to sweep, he can't sweep any longer, because the street is sooooo long. But he doesn't look at the whole street. First he sweeps one flagstone, then he sweeps another. One flagstone isn't much to sweep and so the work is easy. He just looks at the next flagstone he has to sweep, not further. And after sweeping flagstones for a while he sees:"Oh, wow, I'm at the end of the street and it wasn't even hard!"
You understand what I want to say?

BTW: I'm also happy for your posts that showed that you are still alive.

"I thought and dreamt about travelling. But I never travelled any long distance. I have no mood to do anything, and even walking is hard for me."

This got me thinking. Do you like outdoors/nature type stuff at all?

Not sure where you live but if there's any good countryside near you, get out in it
Maybe it's not your thing but I find if feeling down some fresh air really helps. And I don't mean the local park, get away from the city and up high with a decent view if possible.

I'm fortunate to live in Manchester (bet no one ever said that before ) which while not amazing in itself is surrounded by some of the best countryside in the UK. Just a short distance to Wales, the Peak District or the Lake District. Nothing beats being on top of a mountain to lift you up

Of course if you're from Switzerland or somewhere then your definition of "mountain" is very different from mine

Regardless, something more energetic might help a bit. Not that I'm knocking video games in general but if you're feeling dissatisfied then it's probably not helping much just sitting at home on the computer, where all your different activities are variations on the same thing and don't exactly give much fulfillment at the moment.

Try a walk in good scenery, try a gym, swimming, learn something new eg a sport or martial art maybe...

I've got really into mountain biking recently. From just playing about in the local woods it's morphed into a full fledged hobby (*cough*obsession*cough*).
Currently saving up for a better bike which is what made me think of you - it's given me a goal and something to work towards and look forward to.

Anyway... maybe that long ramble* totally missed the mark but it's worth a try

If I understand correctly, you say that I shoul head step by step, in smaller chunks.
But I'm not sure if I could do this. I just hate learning.

@Sparrowhawk
Honestly, I don't really like being outside. I'm not used to it.
I guess my definition of a mountain would be close to yours.

Man, I live in hills. I hate going up-and-down, I can't get along with people here. I have barely have place in the house.
There is no true wilderness here. I want plains, forests, a home with enough space in a quit place, a family I could feel complete, people who are similar to me -who I can talk about and play video games with them, who I can have fun and adventures with, who can help me find my place. I want the world to be more like I would like it to be.
Sigh... Up to this point, I belived the main reasons for my depression were: the way the world is, my complete lack of friends, and that I'm a little nobody who can't do anything - can't change the world, have no fame at all, doesn't even have money to get games and books, and don't have any power to change his own life, let alone other people's.
But I was wrong in some key ways. What I believed to be secendary reasons for my unhappiness seem to be actually the major reasons - and the reason I could not achieve anything to help myself.
This is not the place to provide a home for me, this is not a place where I can have friends, this is not the place where I can repair my broken family, this is not the place where I can have adventures, this is not the place where I can achieve any success.
It's strange I just realised the biggest problem is the place where I live. I really don't know what should I do now...

oh man, why didn't you just say so? i was in a similar situation trying to find a place to fit in. but each place i tried didn't really work out. the conversations were impossible to keep up with, things i said would be ignored or not noticed, and it just didn't feel like i belonged at all. when i saw a link pop up to another group i was once looking for again, i hesitated a lot to click on it because i feared it would be the same. and to some degree, yeah, it is. there's no way i'm going to keep up with everything there, but i have talked to some people there and made a friend who was in pretty much the same situation - trying to find a place to fit in and find a friend who's similar.

just keep looking, dood. don't be afraid to join some place and talk or something.

You take up a sport or something. Speaking of sports, I need to check up my old football (soccer) buddies. I haven't seen the lads in awhile.

Why don't you try this, in fact I order you to do it.
Get about 3 days worth of rations and stay in some nearby woods. If there are none nearby go find some! What you need is some adventure in your life. Explore unknown territory or something. You never know, you just may find something out there you can brag about to us.
I don't want to here this.

If you have already done this, then do it again. There are new thing out there to discover.

Everyone has legitimate and petty reasons to hate life, and I'm not the person to decide if your depression is justified or not. Baphomet actually has a good suggestion. Going out and camping would probably do you more good than harm, even if it's for a day or two in the nearest legal wooded area. Given that it's already getting into spring, it's a good time to do so, unless you've still got snow where you are.

You're still a young guy, things WILL get better. Even if nothing in your situation actually improves (which is extremely unlikely on the scale of months and years), things will get better just by virtue of your brain growing older and learning to cope.

I know it sucks to live life when the days drag on and everything feels miserable and meaningless, but there's really nothing to it, except cling on. As long as you're here, at least there's a chance of something better. And if and when you do feel better, you'll be a much greater person for having had to struggle through that shit.

Even fools speak wisdom, sadly Baph spoke only one wise thing, then immediately defecated from his mouth. He won't understand until he experiences it, and that's a sad fact of life. So don't take his negativity to heart, you're the better one because you know yourself better than he ever will.
Besides, being a man is overrated. You're expected to bottle your emotions up like some sort of soda factory. It's better to fortify yourself and get better than to repress until you're basically dead.

All he does is play video games. I mean look! He hates his life because he is sick of playing video games! He's a ducking zombie! I am not ashamed of my words nor will I ever be ashamed of anything I say in the future.

Hard childhood my butt! My father had a worse childhood than you could ever imagine! He was knifed, his mother hates him and favors my uncle who has a fear rabbits. (Yes, true), and later on in his 20's when he was in the army before I was born, he was on leave for a week. He was returning to base when he was ambushed by 5 guys. They nearly beat my father to death. He did die for 3 minutes. But he came back. Is he "depressed" no. He is leading a very good life now. You are just person that never grew up.
Tell me this roaming pest! What are you going to do when you go out into the world by yourself to live on your own?
You don't have a snowballs chance in hell if go on being a ducking quiter!
You need to read books!
You have to do some sort of physical activity.
And you definitely need to find yourself a ducking job!
I was doing odd jobs when I was a ducking 12 year old!
I have made a lot of money and spent on fun and all.
I learned many things doing odd jobs!
I am a ducking bee keeper now!
I know how to take care of horses, and i learned about carpentry.
A ducking toddler could do better than you.

You're not depressed. You are lazy, and you are quiter.

I expect you to get of you ducking ass and do something for once and prove that you are not a quiter.

I like playing video games too, but there is a limit to that crap. You have to do something outside of the technological world! Read! Exercise! Sport! Or do some odd jobs!

Let me tell you something about motherducking depression, Baph. It's not being sad or being a bored little duckboy. It's like slowly losing your sense of taste, everything starts to taste bland, maybe even like ash. Things that brought you enjoyment slowly lose meaning to you. You stop caring about what you liked because it feels the same as doing nothing at all. It's not being lazy, and it's not being a quitter. It's having everything spiral out of your control because something outside of your control is constantly making shit worse.
You have abso-DUCKING-lutely no say in how shitty a person's life is until you actually know them in person and know exactly what they go through. I've had good friends ducking die because shitty people like you thought you were being smart and making people see an imagined error of their ways or thought their words were invalid because someone else had 'worse' things happen to them.
Calling him a goddamn pest is not going to make him more likely to listen to you, and it certainly won't motherducking fly with me. ESPECIALLY because I've heard that entire spiel you spoke before, not exactly, but similar enough for me to recognize blatant ducking ignorance.
As someone who's seen how powerful words can be, I know for a fact that careless words can just as easily kill someone who's not in the right frame of mind as shooting them yourself.
I have zero tolerance for that shit, and you should be ashamed of yourself for it, you poor excuse for a human being.

after the horrendous shit you've said to roaming guest, i don't know why you're not banned or being deleted left and right. you never tell a depressed person these things. i've had enough horseshit lately and if i hear anything happened to roaming because of you, i will personally see that you are punished for it.

you scum. are you even capable of imagining yourself in shitty situations? just try it. right now. imagine you're feeling like garbage. someone comes along and says it's your fault and that you're lazy.

but it's not. it's ducking not. you have no control over this. there may be things that can help or people who can care for you, but you don't just ducking wake up and think. "WELL, I'M DONE FEELING BAD. TIME TO BE HAPPY!"

you don't ducking choose that. how many idiotic "choose happiness" type posts have you been seeing lately? because that never EVER has been how it works. otherwise, we're also choosing to feel like shit and why the HELL would we be doing that??

and the way you spun that story about your dad to try and make roaming feel like his feelings aren't important or that his pain is not allowed is ducking tragic. that's like the asshole that will point to africans or middle easterns who are living in pools of shit or dirt or something all their existence and saying "you think you have a hard life? try living in saudi arabia" or some bullshit just to try and invalidate your feelings as if just because someone somewhere has it worse (subjectively), that's supposed to somehow make you feel better.

I agree with kris, that is what depression is like, but that is not what rg is experiencing. Read his first few posts closely.
As for you Skurn. That is not depression! An Arab doesn't even act the way rg does. How should I know? Because when I was in public school,I was buddies with one. He would say the same shit as I have. This is the last post i'll make on here.

Really you have to admit, it's pretty lame to create a thread about how you hate your life on a freaking video game forum. That's why I think it's stupid. Really, if your really were depressed you would only talk to people in real life, not people on line. I know this because I have been there. When I was 8 my dog was killed on the road outside our house. It hit me like a ton bricks. The only way I got myself to feel better was when I talked to my great grandmother. She made feel better with her kind words. That depression only lasted a month while rg's has been going on since last november,and his so called depression is actually boredom.
And to put very bluntly, I believe he's just looking for attention.

Hey. Almost everything you described about yourself applies to me too. no friends. only talk to family. not satisfied with that either. no going outside (my average going out might be 1 in 10 days and that's just walking for an hour or so). not enjoying the process I have to go through to get things done. no job. one day I feel like I can do anything and loads of ideas flow inside my head and the next day I am completely unmotivated and depressed (never been to a doctor but I think my problem is ultradian bipolar disorder). So all I'm saying is, I know what you're going through and I completely feel you (hell I made an account just so I could reply to you)

Now enough about me. I think there is something you CAN do.
You said you hate to put effort in anything, and I get that, but I think to get over this you have to think smaller. if you are even more like me, whenever you think up a new project you think too big. like something that takes weeks of effort to complete. I think THAT is the problem. you said something about writing reviews for games you like. I think that's your way in. You gotta take projects you could complete in only one day (one sitting even). I know actually doing them is still not your cup of tea but compared to feeling awful everyday it's completely worth trying and it's actually doable. Not saying you have to make a career out of it or you have to do it everyday from now on... I'm saying only do it once (if you think you still can't manage that, then make it a short review). then put it out there. see what happens. if you were happy with the result (the feedback or even the fact that you actually completed something) do it again later.
I hope this helps somehow.
by the way, you are still much more sociable than me. I'm not even on any social media or forum (except for this one which I joined to reply to this and tweeter which I haven't even tweeted anything on and only use to follow a few people I admire)
Hope you feel better soon.

Really, if your really were depressed you would only talk to people in real life, not people on line. I know this because I have been there. When I was 8 my dog was killed on the road outside our house.

bullSHIT. BULLSHIT. the internet has been used countless times for people to vent and connect with people when it's impossible for them to do so in person. now you're showing that not only do you not have a clue what depression is, you also are apparently totally ignorant on how anxiety works/really, people in general. there's a gigantic ducking amount of people who cannot speak like they do in person like they do online unless they're comfortable enough with said person. you don't get the sheer among of personal or scary things people have been able to get out there that they wouldn't in person.

and with the dog thing, AGAIN, you are basing depression on one SINGLE THING. not only that, but one single thing you experienced at 8! DUCKING 8.

this isn't about the sadness of losing a dog as a small child, this is about the sudden, crushing feeling of uselessness and total lack of self worth. you're the one who clearly didn't read, or read enough into, the original post or anything else roaming said if you're really going to compare two completely different things like that.

yes, you can become depressed from things like that, but you were 8 and reacting to a dog. roaming is quite a bit older and feels useless and beyond hope. i'm sure there are plenty of people who became depressed from their dog dying. hell, imagining someone whose only friend or companion is a dog becoming depressed, that makes perfect sense. but from all the garbage you've said and all the dangerous, insensitive things you have said this whole time, it definitely does not look like you know what we're talking about. krisknox said it before, it's not sadness. that's a part of it, sure. but it's not JUST sadness.

i've experienced both multiple times and i can tell you the two are utterly ducking different.

oh, wow, they are different.

That depression only lasted a month while rg's has been going on since last november,and his so called depression is actually boredom.
And to put very bluntly, I believe he's just looking for attention.


of course it's been going on since last november. THAT'S how depression works. it's not some quick little thing some magical discussion with your grandma can fix in a month. it's a rollercoaster of bullshit where it hits you out of nowhere from time to time, or hits you in reaction to whats currently happening. it's a legitimate disorder. it takes ducking years to get out of it. and really, not just time, either. you need help. which ties into the second part.

roaming is not simply looking for attention. this thread was about help, too. and really, who isn't ducking looking for attention? is that really a bad thing? humans are a touchy species, kinda like a cat. a lot of things can be eased or fixed by touch. in relationships especially, and with cats, that touch is obtained by getting attention.

case in point, you act like looking for attention is a bad thing. but, as i described, it's like an instinct. you WANT attention. you NEED attention. you NEED someone there to help and care for you. know why? because you don't solve this on your own. you need support.

YOU have given no support. in fact, you've been the total opposite of what anyone looking for help, comfort, and support needs.

i can't even imagine how you thought any of your posts were acceptable. it's sort of ducking baphling. all this backlash you've gotten and you're still insisting you're right. all the many things we've said, and we're apparently wrong.

no. you're wrong. take your argument to any other place talking about these things and they'll say you're wrong too. hell, they might be even less lenient than we've been here. the things you said are truly terrible.

Look, Baph, if you feel like you actually want to help, do a lot of research into depression, and then give advice. You are doing the exact opposite of what anyone who is legitimately depressed needs to see or hear. You've never personally experienced depression, I personally have. I know what it's like to feel so goddamn useless because nothing I ever tried hard to do bore fruit, that I actually wanted to kill myself so that the people I knew and loved didn't have to deal with my bullshit anymore.
I had actual career prospects that I could have conceivably gotten, but failed to get because it takes me so ducking long to learn something relatively simple like where something goes or how to do a specific task. I've endangered people because of my ineptitude, because when it comes to common ducking sense, sometimes I really ducking don't think, even though I've been told my entire life that I'm smarter than people think I am. Right now, I am still recovering from that, but poorly, because my dad doesn't believe in psychiatry being actually useful and thinks psychiatrists are all drug pushers who want everyone on drugs so they can make more cash. It's ducking difficult, especially when you have an overbearing assbag yelling at you because you can't generate enough care or energy to even bathe yourself, let alone do a simple chore that you're supposed to do to continue living rent-free.
I am goddamn lucky that my mom loves me enough that she'll never throw me off the streets, that she doesn't pry into what happened when I was gone for a year trying to be an adult. I am so ducking lucky even though I don't have the proper resources to actually do what I need to get over this bullshit. And that's what depression is, it's bullshit. It's having the capacity to do something, but you're exhausted all the ducking time. You try to do something, to make your life better, to power through and get a job even though literally nowhere around you is hiring, or finish that game that will trickle in some revenue, or even take advantage of some easy to do things that'll make things infinitely better, but in the end, you just want to sleep because you're so ducking tired you can't even bring yourself to do a token amount of work to survive.
Hell, the only thing that's been keeping me going aside from sheer determination to see one of my books published is the fact that there's someone else who's dealing with the same shit as me, who doesn't have the same tenacity, who doesn't have the sheer ducking rage to want to conquer the situation so he doesn't die a complete screwup. I know that Roaming's problem is valid, that what he's going through is worse than what I am, because I've hit rock bottom, and I'm one slippery slope away from plummeting down again.

@Roaming, don't let this duckwad get the better of you. It sucks, it hurts, it's ducking bullshit the shit he's said to you. But the thing is, he's just another obstacle you need to overcome. He represents the sheer ignorance of what you and I have to go through to even function on a day-to-day basis. I'm emotionally crippled because I couldn't handle responsibility, because I was never taught how to handle responsibility effectively. We both have coping mechanisms that don't work as well as they should because the situation changed.
You have it worse than me, you don't have some of the things I have, the will to bite back like a cornered animal, the tenacity to try and fail over and over and over and over again. But, that doesn't mean it's hopeless. You have literally everybody else in the entire forum trying to help you in a constructive way, as best as we can even though most of us don't know what to do to help you, personally. Hell, I only said what I said in this specific post to drive a point to Baph that he's a shitbag for what he said, and not to divert the attention from your needs.
I'm used to doing things alone, if you can promise me you won't end it, that you'll try to find the determination or tenacity or even the rage to try, I can promise to be supportive and helpful whenever I can be.
So, yeah. Let's conquer this shit together. Alright?

The nation above all 
How am I doing to live on my own? Likely in no way. I'm completely incapable to do anything. I tried to read books sometimes. They didn't give me any feel of happyness or conclusion. Every time I do any physical activity, I get tired very soon. I never understood why people say they feel better if they move or go outside. I never felt better when doing any of these. So, I'm lazy? That's definitely true. I give up easily? The list of things I given up is looong. I was in such a mood since a far longer time than November. It's now two or three years since this is the case. I tried to talk about this with people in real life: family, teachers, my psychologist, classmates... I complained to all of them, and not a single one of them could help. The general conclusion was, they can't do anything. They would like to help me, but they don't know how. And I also don't know how. The other conclusion was that I should do something for it to make it better - tough call, than it's doomed. And don't get me started with strangers, I can never talk to any person I don't know. Great to see this thread became a flame war. I guess it was a mistake to create it in the first place. Thank you guys, I know all (-1) of you tried to help me, but now I see it makes no sense to waste time and energy trying to help someone who's a loser and is beyond saving.

I recall reading a sentence in one of your posts waaaaay up there.

"I don't like putting effort into anything." (might not be exact, but close enough.)

Then answer me this. What's it gonna take to get out of your depression?

Yep.

I have seen people list some great ideas on this thread. God damn, surely one appeals to you.

Oh and " I've tried physical activities, but I get tired really soon." OF COURSE GET TIRED REALLY SOON IF YOU'RE NOT ACCUSTOMED TO IT AT FIRST!

Sorry I promised that my last post on this thread was going to be the last, but I had to get that out of imperfect system.

Gute nacht.
