Exposure therapy is the way to go if you want to resolve it. Recording and analyzing dreams will help. If you dream about burning spiders or slaying dragons then you are making progress. Most shrinks only know how to do cognitive behavioral therapy which is of limited efficacy. If you find one near you that understands Jungian psyche-therapy techniques then they may actually be useful. Most prescription meds are worthless and make shit worse. If you want to try some of the stuff in the regenerative medicine thread it may help with general anxiety, the fish oil in particular is useful for anxiety and a number of other conditions. Deep breathing techniques may help you get through exposure sessions. >>14156

this is hilarious

please keep suffering i am deriving immense pleasure from it

when the hospital people brought food in I thought eggs = fertility and if you eat eggs you are straight, and meat = cocks/dick you know "beating your meat" so if they gave you meat they were testing to see if you were subconciously gay

I only ate the eggs and the milk cause these were from female lineage

down the lines i broke down because they kept serving me meat without eggs or milk, like they were forcing me to be gay, I ended up thinking the superintendent was gay and was trying to turn me gay in this big gay expierement to turn me homo

this led to

What if I hope it's hopeless because I don't deserve to be happy and I deserve everything that's coming to me?

>>15757

What have you done to deserve this my friend?

Depression is like a bad MDMA comedown, it warps and distorts your perspective on your introspective thoughts. And it feels real, it feels like these thoughts are justified.

But you arent your rational self when you are depressed. You are seeing in black and white vision and have forgotten whats its like to see the beautiful colours of life.

But if you take my advice and seek help, what have you got to lose? If you stick to it and it works, you wont have this perspective anymore. If it doesnt work you'd just be in the same position, nothing lost.

The shitty thing about depression is that it is really good at blocking us from seeing what might be around the corner, it makes us feel like we wont be happy again, it deceives us

You are worth just as much as any other soul on this planet brother, you gotta stop beating yourself up, you deserve happiness and success and it will come.

"It aint about how hard you can hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."

>>15759

>What have you done to deserve this my friend?

That's a rather personal question don't you think?

>And it feels real, it feels like these thoughts are justified

These thoughts ARE justified, that's why I feel them. That's why I have countless tangible things I've done or am responsible for or are part of me that I can point to and go "Wow I'm a terrible person" or "Oh I'm a degenerate pervert", things that would make any rational person hate themselves, things that nobody would flinch from hating somebody for if it was anybody but themselves. These thoughts aren't cognitive distortions, they're a consistent application of principles.

>But you arent your rational self when you are depressed. You are seeing in black and white vision and have forgotten whats its like to see the beautiful colours of life.

But what if the reality is that I'm not beautifully multicolored, I'm just pitch black? See, the thing about this advice you're giving (or more likely, your shrink's advice) is that if my reasons for hating myself are indeed valid and true, then the only effect lying to myself that I am a good, valuable person who deserves to live and be happy will have is to manage and make me even more wretched than I already am, because I will be just as bad, but conceited. There is little I want less than that. I have an aunt, diagnosed with bipolar disorder, who I see as the spinning image of what I'm talking about. She's a dyke, but has been taught to accept herself, she is inconsiderate but is told do what's right for her (or something along those lines), worst of all she has been convinced to stop living in the real world, the real world which is a cold and unforgiving place, or even avoid pieces of fiction that are deemed "negative".

>But if you take my advice and seek help, what have you got to lose?

I've already made plans. I'm too much of a fucking coward to do it the proper way (I see my anxiety as a personal failure) so instead I'm counting on a routine doctor's visit I have coming up in about a month, I plan to make "a cry for help" by especially self-harming just before in thePost too long.

How can you be moderate antisocial and very high avoidant?

>>15814

antisocial = psychopathic = sociopathic

Update: It's BPD + Vulnerable Narcissism.

I want to be a dictator but they'll let trannies in before spergs

Feels bad man

>>15785

That's because spergs are even more dysfunctional to the point they'd actually make worse leaders than trannies

>>15769

Do you mean you've recently received an official diagnosis?

>>15794

That a goy.

>>15794

spergs > men > women > trannies

Aw fuck, I pull hair out sometimes.

>>15854

On another note, I've been pulling hair out from that area since 2012-2013. I don't know what to do about it, and I am considering seeking help because I know it's supposed to be associated with other issues.

I feel like I wish I had exaggerated my response to play into you wanting to harm me, I guess you can tell it'd be out of "masochism" (I dont derive pleasure from any of what I've done). You did succeed in making me upset more than I let in on in my post.

Hello,

I'm having trouble configuring a reasonably short response to your post. My initial reaction was to instruct you to seek counseling, but I suspect that the degree of your self-harm would result in an unnecessary involuntary institutionalization. Therefore, the best I can do is to explain the underpinnings of your actions. First, as the brilliant novelist John Steinbeck stated, "The worst disease experienced by Western man is a childhood devoid of parental love." As a trained clinician and a victim of a childhood "devoid of parental love," I call this phenomenon the behavioral passage of trauma from one generation to next. In simple terms, it's the unconscious, compulsive, repetition of child abuse. In your case, you defended against your childhood pain, when you discovered an idealized character who fulfilled a mixture of unfulfilled childhood needs and your necessary defense mechanisms. As for the downward spiral of your emotional stability, your naive belief that using this open forum as the means of remediation proves the existence of your unconscious embedded trauma and your compulsion to resolve this past childhood trauma in the present. While your attempt at resolution is a normal, but misdirected human function, you could not have chosen a worse venue to remediate your pain.

Since, this is the worst possible venue for any substantive discussion of emotional suffering, I offer my counsel to guide you to a protected online group with people suffering from similar emotional conflicts. If you are interested, please leave your anonymous email address, and I will forward you the url address.

By the way, you are not psychotic, unlike the above psychopath who attempted to increase your pain, you are a feeling human being in search of love, adventure, friendship, and good times. In any event, no matter your decision, I wish you the best.

>>15850

That's a long well composed response, I dont disagree with anything you said.

I am having difficulties articulating further thoughts than that, I am interested in that online group and how the pains of the people in it relate to mine. You can reach me at adornoswimsuit@gmail.com if you're still interested.

Well fuck my ass, now I also wish I had called your bluff.

I recommend you read the Gospel of John

Hello,

If you are caught in a downward spiral falling ever closer to acting on your homicidal obcession, I strongly suggest you contact an attorney with advanced training in forensic psychology. By retaining an attorney, you have a right to absolute confidentiality. Therefore, should testing prove your belief that you are a psychopath and a potential serial killer, absent a statement of intent to kill immediately, an attorney cannot disclose your identity or even disclose that he/she is representing you for any legal issue.

>I'm lucky to have a GF (even though she's fat I love her and she genuinely loves me

you disgusting pig

you have a girl that loves you and you call her fat

you could have said she was not perfect or she had her own flaws but calling her fat is disgusting

you don't deserve your gf and I doubt you love her. I feel like if you had the oppurtunity to upgrade, you would do without second thought.

23 male with major depressive disorder and mostly likely Schizoid.

I first got diagnosed when i was 16 as a depressive and have been taking meds ever since. Currently unable to enjoy life and planning on working min wage after college (been in 6 years because of continually delaying, forced by parents ofcours) trying to find something with minimal interpersonal interaction. Already know that i dont want to work in the degree that i choose to study.

Also currently trying to escape a south american shithole that i was born into, to live a comfy isolationist life in hopefully a first world country.

Fuck, I meant to say I got back to school in February, not April. Not that it changes much of anything.

I've been diagnosed with anxiety and shit, I guess I'm just here to see how others are. I don't even want to go to the doctors again, I'm scared i'll probably get locked up

>>14916

If you do, it may be something done by your government, you should investigate.

I wanna fuck link

It would not be profitable if it did. mainline psychiatric education is heavily subsidized by the pharmaceutical industry, the drugs they sell do not treat the underlying causes of disorder but artificially manage the symptoms, making people dependent upon them. ADHD can be a number of things really, sometimes you get diagnosed with it just because your mind has a different way of learning things that the public schools don't know how to accommodate.

>>15020

what do you propose to deal with this problem? get rid of mandatory licenses for being a psychiatrist?

Avoiding eye contact and impaired ability to socialise can be indicative symptoms of autism/aspergers, you may have a mild form of one of these thats not prevalent enough for others or yourself to identify as an actual impairment.

If I were you I would get an examination by a specialist.
