The Rant Thread/My Life Sucks Topic [Don't be pricks]

-_________- turns out I missed an intro from The Manta Storm, so I'll be updating that and replacing the version on site when I get to the Sunshine replacements.

I went to an anime con by myself yesterday hoping I would meet someone and join their group. Obviously that didn't work out and I've never felt so alone...

[Maelstrom]

Dang, that sucks.

[Dude]

Yeah so I'm probably taking a vacation from life for a week if work lets me.

[Maelstrom]

Not sure that's the wisest response....
I mean, you'll probably maybe feel better by the end of it, but a week is a long time.

[mikey]

lol a week is nothing I spend months at a time doing nothing

Wait, I thought you were in a school or college or something.

[Altissimo]

[mikey]

Words of the young and foolish:
Couldn't you just throw your current life away completely if you feel unhappy enough? Set yourself free; explore unknown lands; leave behind all you've known.
Yeah, that's a bit extreme. But surely change can't hurt too much?



Anyway, I seem to break down because of existential crises every few months, and I can't pull myself to carry on with life due to nihilistic thoughts. Last time, I couldn't go to school for a while, and I had moderate/severe depression, with self harm and suicidal thoughts. I didn't get any medical treatment, because I deemed that useless for helping me.
My question is, if it strikes me again, what can I do to keep going? Does anyone have any advice? Is there any way to break this cycle? (I assume this chat is where I ask help for things like this)

Making irl friends who you can talk to about it is probably the hardest, but most effective way. NSM can't substitute for actual face to face talks.

D: I'm sorry that happened dude :c I've been there before, and it's not fun. I'll be there on skype if you want to talk or get your mind off of it.
