Let's talk.

Why do we still live?

A lot of us have been through crazy bullshit. I've been to two mental hospitals and been diagnosed with MDD and PTSD, probably have some of anxiety disorder as well, and it's troublesome to do anything anymore. I have to force myself to get out of bed, or do a simple task like talk to someone. But I mean, that's not the point.

My point is, that no matter how bad it gets, it still seems like I want to live. Even if offing myself feels like the most logical choice since life brings a lot more pain than pleasure, I still feel myself wanting to live. Why?

Honestly nowadays I want something to throw my life away at. I don't really want to die at all, but as I am really really afraid of growing old and feeling my body rot away I want my death to be in the name of some kind of reason I believe in. I was hoping that the pre-election riots would go somewhere and we'd all be even bolder than we were back then but now the prevailing attitude among anons is to lie down and let bad shit happen with a million and one excuses. It's disgusting to desire being in the world that you want rather than desiring to create it.

I often find myself at a loss of words to describe a feeling of profound loneliness accompanied with a bittersweet realization of the meaninglessness of existence. Is there a word for this?

Is it truly meaningless or is the an organization to the chaos you cannot yet perceive? And if that be the case, a motive to be understood?

By studying the deeper designs of the macrocosm you can observe yourself in relation to it and in so doing understand what your own raison d'être is. I believe this may alleviate your melancholia.

I turned 18 on the 1st of January. I purchased several long guns within the days following my birthday.

I would like to seek counseling for depression, also. However, I'm genuinely terrified my guns will be stolen from me by the state if I do. How do I go about this, will it happen, etc? Washington State resident.

Well I'm not familiar with the politics in Washington but I'd say as long as you guys don't let the technocrats and commies form California move in then you should be fine. Trump is about to start hanging a bunch of traitors anyways, so I don't think they will have time to even think about taking your guns.

Just remember to get a therapist first and not a psychiatrist.

Does anyone else feel like mental illnesses are actually reflections of the spiritual illnesses of a culture?

The common delusions are ones that are some legitimately important concepts. Being watched by a powerful entity or group, believing oneself to be christ, etc.

I feel a little crazy thinking it, but it makes so much sense to me. And now, seeing how psychedelics are proving to be powerful medicines for things like anxiety, depression, and ptsd, it seems like the only sane thing to believe now. The shamans would take psychs to commune with the spirits, but they had to learn to manage it at a young age. We don't do that for our spiritually sensitive people, so they never learn how to manage their sensitivity.

I dunno if this is quite the same thing but I was recently reading an article about the 'sadistic superego'. Basically it discusses an ignored aspect of psychoanalysis: what if the Id is the one holding morals and the superego is morally reprehensible? This is a reversal of the commonly taught Freudian psyche, the Id is the animalistic and sadistic inner self and the superego pushes you to be civilised to conform to societal norms. But what if these societal norms are bad? An example would be protecting a persecuted friend in a racist society. The superego urges you to turn your friend in to the police like what occurred in nazi germany, however your more 'primitive' self (the Id) convinces you to protect your friend. Which urges should you listen to? It seems obvious that in a sick society listening to your superego will lead you down a barbaric path. I feel like in our neoliberal capitalist world the superego is the one pressuring you to indulge in hedonism and also work yourself to an early grave. The Id takes the role of the more rational part of your psyche, urging you to live a happy life on your own terms and not indulge in hollow pleasures. It is clear that your primitive self, the one you have been conditioned to ignore is actually the voice of reason. You could make the case that this is a spiritual illness.

ITT: post enjoyable pastimes that could indirectly help people overcome their anxiety

>freediving

To be any good, you need to learn how to relax to the point that your heart rate is around 40bpm, despite being at constant risk of blacking out and/or drowning. Every freediver I know has anxiety, so it's a good place to make friends too.

>dancing

Helps teach you pretty quickly how to relax and loosen up around other people, without the use of drugs/alcohol, and to not worry how you might look.

>social skydiving

This is a bit tough, but if you can approach a stranger and start up a conversation with him, it legitimately helps a lot. Works best in a school cafeteria because they aren't going anywhere soon, and being students at the same college gives some room for relating.

It's worth talking to a professional about, but the fact that you're worried about it and are considering the reality that it's probably just your mind shows that you're not insane or anything...yet.

It makes sense that the dupes would all be atheists. The collective unconsciousness itself is the god we commonly interact with. The clergy really aren't much better though. They have all the lemmings worshiping a deity in the sky. most of them have no idea what they are actually preaching.

Hello, lost spirits of the world, this is a new face speaking to you.

Not much of a surprise to people, this board has been inactive as of late, so the old BO relinquished their position and I have claimed it, not much will change in terms of moderation, nor will I remove the style of the board aside from replacing a few banners, cycling threads amongst other thinks that come to mind. Community suggestions are always welcome, the plan is to give people some sort of power in this place, whether it is reminding you to wash your clothes, helping you realize the good you've done, confirming a certain diagnosis or emotion, to talking rising above the events of your now dead relatives that abused you when they were alive.

It does not matter the situation, this place is made for outcasts; for the people that don't fit the mold of society, or even the internet as of right now, or ever, the hurt and hurting, the deformed, the broken and undesirable, the rejected, the angry, the strange, the depressed, the ravenous, the unstable, the dangerous, the addicts, the traumatized, the sickened, the lonely, the empty, the unloved, the frustrated, the disillusioned, the insane, the anxious and scared, the dying, the starved, the mad, the bleeding self harming, the mocked, the hysterical, the sadistic, the desperate, the dysfunctional, the confused, the abused, the hollow and desolate self loathing yearning piles of human garbage that just want to be reminded why they're still living here, the people who need solace, the people who are on the verge of hurting others, the ones who have never had a good thing in their entire lives, the people who want advice for something that is troubling them, the people who want understanding and closure, and lastly, the suicidal. It does not matter who you are or what situation you are in. We are here for you, this is the purpose of the board.

There's not much to discuss as of yet, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I'm a very transparent person so I can answer most questions without a second thought.

tl;dr - you are heard.
