I finally had to admit to myself that I have depression. I'm tired of having
>social anxiety
>random BDD sessions
>time just slipping away one minute it's july and now it's november
>takes massive effort to hang out with one friend
>i'm afraid to even go into a wal-mart and shop
>always worried what people think of me


All spawned from depression, because I never used to be this way. It's so hard to believe I had/have it because there's so many cunts gatekeeping what it is to be depressed, and so many dumb kids who think that they're depressed after eating oreos all day for two weeks talking about how they beat it with eating right, but at least i can try to get help now.

I have to present some of my nearly finished masters work tomorrow to my lab, then the next day to a broader audience, and it's perfect for showing absolutely everyone I have no idea what I'm talking about, with humiliations two days in a row. Like I should have theories on why I got the results I did based on previous scientific literature.

We got a few new bachelors students to learn the basics, and they already look down on me. It's like I give off a vibe that commands disrespect. I don't get it. I act like I ought to be there (despite believing otherwise).

How have YOU been OP?

Weird, is it all in your head or are you saying strange things to them?

Miserable.
I would off myself but I am going to New York next year which I have never done.

Why new york? Just thinking about that place makes me ill

The day I turned 27 I realized that I just archived nothing in the last few years and im rushing to 30 now and that im still a child and all my friends are adults now. Oh lord. Shoot me.

Big cities interest me.

I know this feel. Same age too.
All my former friends are married/getting married having kids etc, I have done nothing with my life aside from academic stuff.

My eyes keep twitching, it's unpleasant.

>thing is... i'm not single
Guess i should be happy i went this far for a first time in 29 years.

Pretty good. I've been working out and going hard at work, so I feel much more energized and shit.

Feels good.

They all seem to be extroverted. I initially turned down going out etc and now they don't really ask. I also gleaned that they have a petty nature about them and will talk behind others backs. So I guess I'd be the least popular in the lab.

Although sometimes I feel they really are against me and that can show in my attitude. I'm nowhere near an asshole as some of the others can be, but maybe I don't have the social clout to pull it off.

Whatever, I decided a few months into working there that I won't manufacture a personality to fit in, I was there to work and there was no point in putting in that extra effort.

But I'm not sure how I'll consolidate that with an actual career in the future

I'm doing shitty desu, I suffer with psychosis and my delusions are coming back hard, but don't want to go back on anti psychotics because they made me a fat fuck last time

I threw everything away because of my indecisiveness and cowardice. All could've been fine by now if I didn't give up.

I am posting in this thread to remind them that yet another twenty-five pluser still draws breath.

How the fuck do normies do this for 40 fucking years. Some of the coworkers told me they had been doing that for 20. What the fuck.

they're extroverts who enjoy being around people, and they have loved ones to come home to

>keeping at my dream by writing everyday
>doing job interviews and applying to places

All I want is a full-time job to support myself. I don't care about being paid very well. I just want a chance to be great at a job that I find rewarding. I don't want to be like my dad and miserable as fuck. He always talks about his regrets. But no one's giving me a chance. This networking shit don't work unless you're a normie. I don't know what to do. If I can't live my dream, I think I have to kill myself.

Sounds like your "dream" is retarded, no offense.

No offense taken. It's my dream, not yours.

Do you lads ever think its too late?

I'm good at my job but it's first line tech support, and I'm not good enough to move on to second line, I'm not specialised in anyway, it's just I've been in the same place long enough to know what I'm doing.

I also can't shmooze enough to get a job anywhere else, outside of the user-support relationship and its structure I cannot fucking talk to people (Although I'm super good at it within the one context)

I 'm a fat, dumb piece of shit and dont have the drive or effort to actually try and dig myself out of the hole.

Oh well, 27 in a month. Hopefully I make it to 28, although I don't see much of a reason to.

Well shit that explains it. None of that applies to me.

I just wanted to live comfortably and whack it to anime. Why couldn't I have been born a grill to exploit thirsty betas on twitch while playing videogames.

28 year old virgin here. Have a full time job but its not really a career. Do not have a degree. Getting really sad now because up until about 25 years old, I looked so young. People at my job would never believe my age and made jokes about it, I had high school age girls at my job giggling and flirting with me (too autistic to do anything). Fast forward to 3 years later and age is hitting me. I've lost some of my hairline, especially on my right side. I have wrinkles on my forehead, I have wrinkles under my eyes. Shit sucks, now I'm REALLY never going to get a gf. Not to mention I don't make shit for money. They say women hit the wall but thats bullshit, I'm not even 30 yet and my looks are being taken from me. But I work with girls that are in their early 30's and they still get tons of guys hitting on them. Fuck this.

Always. I don't think I'll make it with my career now, and if I do I'll still be too inexperienced and socially retarded to do anything else, like make real life friends again or find a gf.

Yeah the wall hits everybody, it's all down to genetics. Also JFL at dudes balding in their early 30s believing that they have more value than the average dick guzzling thot; it's over for you.

I am considering preordering WC3 Reforged now, even though I doubt I'd be still alive by the time it is gonna be released.
But I want to play a bit of good old WC3, and you automatically get access to old WC3 with the preordering.

Redpill/manosphere guys are delushional when it comes to mens aging. Real life is not the movies where a 38 year old is dating a 22 year old. Men do not age well, guys that were 10's at 24 will be good looking older men. Using model tier men that are actors that live easy stress free lives as the standard at which men age is also foolish. Go look at a 35 year old man that has been working in an office for the last 10 years. Oh yeah I'm sure his 55k a year salary and 2011 toyota carmy LE is making 20 year old panties wet. LMAO!

Turning 25 tomorrow

Currently a NEET after graduating in July, not hopeful

bad. i don't really derive pleasure from anything anymore and idk what to do to fix it. its not that i can't achieve what i want out of life or something, i just really have come to not want anything.
i'm 27 and people sometimes still ask me if i'm in high school. my hair is starting to go though so i guess it'll stop eventually. or if not high school, people constantly ask if i'm back home from college or whatever, or at least where while it was summer.
same except i have some friends who are still on that level, or even who have never had jobs ever or whatever.

Congrats user. 28 year old here who went back to college. Got 1 year left for my BS in IT.

>26.5 here

Struggling hard to avoid hitting the wall with nothing. Have an associate's degree in General Sciences, didn't go any further because I was a self loathing autist with massive anxiety, and gave up after basically my dream girl came onto me and we got to the point of getting naked and I couldn't get hard due to my hentai addiction. Currently working at a restaurant, trying to work on my skills with women to little avail, mainly because there are two or three chads who the waitresses always gravitate towards. Trying nofap, martial arts and occult practices to build my focus and confidence. Some progress is being made, lost weight and gained some muscle at the very least. Nothing gets rid of the feeling that I'll never make up for lost time, and in the end I know it's probably pointless.

I'm doin well OP, I've been off work since June and just enjoying a temporary NEET lifestyle until Jan/Feb next year.

It took me awhile to get into a solid routine, but now I'm absolutely loving it and hopefully will be able to do more 3 - 6 month NEET stints in the future!

I think I now know what 'comfortably numb' means.

I've learned to accept that my life is stuck in mediocrity, that I will probably never be able to leave the circumstances I grew up in, that I will never find the comfort and happiness of what is described as the classic nuclear family, that I will never find fulfillment in employment.

I'll most likely be poor (or even poorer) forever.

I live healthy, but I accepted the slow deterioration. Hair loss, body getting weaker, looking shitty.

I'm witnessing how my parents fade away mentally and physically. Their death will be extremely hard for me. I think my soul will falter when that happens. I think this is why it's so important to found a family while your parents are still alive, so they can get to meet their grandchildren, plant a memory inside of them, which you can share with them once your parents are gone. Oh god. I don't even want to think about it.

>all you guys with degrees
The funny thing is, if my degree would be 'translated' into the BS/MA model, I would have the equivalent of 3 MAs in 3 different fields, however my certificate is not acknowledged outside of the country I'm living in, so I'm basically forced to add a doctor to my name in order to have an internationally viable education title. This is why I'm doing my stupid doc thesis right now while slaving part time and living with my parents in the ghetto.

It's alright though.

>Do you lads ever think its too late?

Absolutely not!!! Never give up bro. NEVER!

I'm and I only entered university at 25, just two years younger than you are now, and I picked one of those 'endless study' fields. My point is that all doors in life are still open to you. Not saying it will be easy, but you can still direct your life in any way you want. I've read a lot about this and most people actually change their career path completely around 40. Most divorces of people who met at young age happen around 40. Most people who live together until death met around 40. You still have a lot of time left man.
>I 'm a fat, dumb piece of shit and dont have the drive or effort to actually try and dig myself out of the hole.
That's your only problem. Get rid of it.

I learned that the most important thing is to do something you enjoy for a living. But I also learned that this is rarely the case, out of necessity. If you want to make your dream come true, be ready to work 5 times as hard as everyone else and to face many years of back-breaking failure.

I really hate to say this, but if you're really desperate and willing to provide, perhaps take a holiday in some poor SEA country. I've met so many guys from all walks of life, rich and middle class, who got a Vietnamese farmer's daughter for a wife and they have kids and all. Yes, you'll be THAT guy, and yes your son may become a supreme gentleman, but it's your choice.

>Nothing gets rid of the feeling that I'll never make up for lost time
Thinking this way is a sure trip to mental hell. As Max Payne once said: "There are two types of people. Those trying to build a future and those trying to rebuild the past." Always look ahead. Don't let the pain of yesterday linger within you.

Read what I wrote above. I was exactly in the same situation, probably worse. You just need to get up and fight.

It was a pleasure reading both your posts Dr user, I'm happy you're on your way and hope your thesis goes well

I graduated at 25 6 months ago, I had high hopes for myself and coasted through everything until the final hurdle when I flunked my exams and graduated without a job. I'm a NEET right now, wake up at 3pm and say I'll apply to jobs the next day I need to break this habit but I barely notice time go by when I say I will

Thanks.

>I need to break this habit but I barely notice time go by when I say I will
This is a very clear indication of depression user. It doesn't even matter if you don't 'think' you're depressed, but you clearly are. Do you find that every day activities like making breakfast, washing and dressing take up disproportionate amounts of time? Do you feel tired all the time, despite sleeping a lot? Day/night rythm is out of balance? All those things are signs of depression. Try to slowly adjust your daily routine back to normal. Take up regular exercise and go running in the evenings. Get rid of high sugar and salt, drink a lot of water and perhaps buy some multi-vitamin pills. You need to flush out all the gunk that's clogging your brain and get a clear head again, then get back in the game and go for your job. Anyway, good luck to you man.

You've described me perfectly user

I actually hate making breakfast when I wake up so late and just consider not eating to make up time I wasted on sleep. Today I went to bed at midnight but stayed on my phone browsing r9k for 3 hours.

I may be depressed, but I think it's just a symptom because it's finally caught up to me rather than a cause
