It's important to have a good mental condition along your physical one, they complement each other really well. But I think a mentality is the biggest factor in your well-being, so let's discuss that.
How do you cope with your issues in a healthy manner? What do you do that helps you get stronger and wiser? We want to talk about things that are healthy for our minds.
Best thing is getting off of Jow Forums
After that, all other social media based around despair
I chimp out and scream and kick shit around as soon as I'm back home.
Nobody who seriously cares about their mental health visits this website, so I don't know what you're expecting here.
fpbp
get off this site
Weekly therapy and psychiatrist visits, taking two psychoactive meds per day. Getting regular sleep and eating healthy meals.
I do not know how to get stronger. Right now it is pretty rough not knowing where I am in life and where I want to go/become.
Why is leaving Jow Forums such a crucial thing for your mental health? I know this site is filled with negativity but is there something specific you have in mind that is so harmful? I mean, if you can filter bad things, this site is not as damaging
Addiction to porn and masturbation is purely mental, it's a result of brainwashing that tells you that you are entitled to sex related pleasure. You are filling some void in your life that actually won't be filled ever, because being addicted to porn creates another void to fill, as it is with any addiction.
Not to mention that it's extremely unhealthy to get hooked on Supernormal stimulus, your brain is literally melting from things that work purely against you.
If you want to function as a normal being, you have to give up on porn and masturbation.
Thinking about suicide gets me through the day
fresh meme coming through
>what do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a society that abandons him and treats him like trash
>How do you cope with your issues in a healthy manner?
i cope with lamotrigine, quetiapine, caffeine and alprazolam. but i don't think that's healthy
are u fucking serious?
That's quite a lot of shit bruh. What have u got?
Only applies if you are weak and can't take criticism.
Not necessarily. Anonymity brings out the worst in people, and being bombarded with constant negativity warps your perceptions.
As opposed to never being anonymous and keeping your worst bottles up inside
go live in a bubble then and fuck off from the website
There are many productive ways to release negative energy, from working out to creative outlets etc.
See what I mean? There is a zero percent chance you would ever speak to a stranger face to face in this manner. Engaging with miserable people like this on Jow Forums on a regular basis is basically allowing yourself to be a punching bag for mentally ill people, and sooner or later you become that angry loser with no friends frothing at the mouth over some words on a screen.
Thanks for asking Dr. Phil, I mean user-kun. I don't really cope. I am like puppy that's been beaten it's whole life. I don't deserve it, I just hope that each day is not too unbearable and I can get back home to my exciting private life of computer+bed. I stay up late so the next day won't come too fast. I'm just waiting for my parents to die so I can kill myself.
the world is a dark place and you gotta experience it somewhere
this site is the tip of the iceberg for me especially now when it's full of people like yourself that are colloquially known as normies
so rephrasing myself, leave the website for your own sanity
yea, 100mg quetiapine, 100mg lamotrigine and 0.25mg alprazolam twice a day.
all diagnosed: depression, ocd, anxiety and panic attacks. i probably have some sort of autism as i always was "that kid" when i was younger.
I've been coming here since 2006, and there was a long time where I was on Jow Forums and the like all day long. I'm well aware of what the world is "really" like, but unlike you, I'm also aware that there is a lot of light and a lot of good in the world as well. And that is what you should gravitate towards. Knowing about the darkness is one thing; we should not embrace it and let it form our identities.
this.
it's not the negativity per say, one can handle that assuming you don't take yourself too seriously. It's because it waste a stupendous amount of time, you probably spend way more time on here than you realize. You just bounce from frivolous thread to frivolous thread chasing dopamine like an addict. see pic related

We're gonna make it fren, together
I really wish I was at home drinking myself to death. Trying my best not to cry at work on my lunch
Read this . You are fulfilling your socialization needs in a very detrimental manner.
Everyone thinks they can filter out negativity but they're wrong. You can't spend your time surrounded by the shit people say on this website without slowly being affected by it. It won't necessarily warp your world views but it will affect your mood.
Well shit that hit close to home
>you are not having fun
that's where you're wrong kiddo
>do anything else
nigga i am alone and all my "friends" betrayed me time and time again
the only actual negativity on this website i experience is people like you and trying to teach me what the fuck i'm supposed to be doing with my time
>tells people that they need to grow thicker skins and learn how to filter out negativity
>spergs out about what other people are saying in a thread that he willfully chose to engage with
Congrats on being a living, breathing example of what this website does to you I guess
>site attracts social rejects
>bro you're a social reject because of this site
>tfw both of those posts are mine
>Frothing at the mouth over some words on a screen
Ironic, seeing how almost everyone on here has no problem with words (other than you aparently), and it's everyone else that gets angry at someone saying nigger or fag, or saying mean things IRL. Or so you think when someone types 'fuckoff cunt, go fucking kill yourself' the person is sitting there on their PC, angry, biting their shoulder trying to calm down?
>>tells people that they need to grow thicker skins and learn how to filter out negativity
what
let me put this simply
you are the problem with the website, not me
>Congrats on being a living, breathing example of what this website does to you I guess
that's not how humans work
>If I can't manage my time, no one can
And what the fuck do you mean this place has nothing to offer? It open you up to a lot of things due to how lax the rules are. On other sites you basically already have to know about a topic in order to learn more about it, here you can be in a thread about big breasts, and 200 posts in learn about a new genre of music you never knew you'd like, or be talking about Manley's and all of a sudden be taught how Hitler came to power. I've learned a shitload of new topics from this place I've never seen anywhere else. This place is what taught me about bitcoins back in 2011, fags on /a/ that started talking about the best routine in a thread about fat elves is what lead me to Jow Forums, and lifting, shitload of movies and music and games I've never seen anywhere, I've found in threads not even about movies or music, so many things I can't even rember is due to this place. It's shit, but it's also great. I used to use reddit and some forums as well, and none of them had the freedom to discover things like here, the only place that I would consider similar are the old irc channels.
If you have a problem with the people on this website then why are you here?
It can be bad for you but also good. I fucking love Jow Forums, /cbt/ most of all. Always gets me pumped up seeing anons at different stages, and seeing the goal body type anons only makes me stay motivated.
> Or so you think when someone types 'fuckoff cunt, go fucking kill yourself' the person is sitting there on their PC, angry, biting their shoulder trying to calm down?
In a sense, yes. You'd have to be in a pretty bad head space to say stuff like that to strangers on the internet when you could be spending your time bettering yourself instead.
>Just leave the site if people show up you don't like
>Just leave the room when people come in you don't like
>Just move away when your town gets overrun by filth
>Just go to another country when you get replaced
You realise people need down time and time to relax right? You can't just do shit to better yourself 24 7. That's unhealthy as fuck for you mentally and you will burn out really quick.
>equates a public, global website to his own private property
damn son you dumb
I don't even come here that often, but every now and then when I get sad, I like to wallow in the sadness of fellow miserable anons, I feel like some of the problems I have to deal with other anons have to aswell, there's a little comfort in knowing you're not alone.
>seeking out conflict on Jow Forums is how you relax
sad
Learn English esl, I never did that.
Yes you did. Any more low IQ posts or are you done justifying your miserable behavior?
This place is the most fun place I know in the internet, though I concur that it is not very productive, depending on which board you're on. What better sites are there?
False dichotomy. Reading a book or watching a documentary is both relaxing and bettering yourself for example.
Yes, I franticly search threads for posts I disagree with so I can argue with them. how infantile do you have to be to think that engaging with someone you disagree with is bad? Same with
Lol just roll over and never get I to conflict with anyone like a good beta.
I feel sad for you if you feel you have to be productive every waking minute.
>this is your brain on Jow Forums
Nothing. Reddit is heavily moderated and incredibly biased to their own worldview. Jow Forums is unmoderated Reddit. Facebook is of course, cancer. Twitter is hilarious but even more chaotic than Jow Forums. Instagram maybe but feels like the end stage of capitalism. YouTube and Wikipedia I believe are the best sites on the net to waste time on and at the same time be useful/practical, but it takes work to get the info you need.
>Meme image. With meme text using meme arrows
>Complains others brain is on Jow Forums
Ok
I concur with everything you said, though I never really liked Twitt because of the extremely memey humor and also because it's an awful artwork-sharing platform. To be honest, you're right, I should get back to Wikipedia.
>It's important to have a good mental condition along your physical one, they complement each other really well.
This is true, and why it's a good thing there are several fucking boards for you to take this to, rather than shit up the physical fitness board with it. I hope the mods permaban you and frame you for smuggling coke.
There is literally 0 other boards where you could talk about this
I don't really have much to contribute, but I hope everyone is having a good day, we're all going to make it. Keep on keeping on, and don't give in or give up.
Psychiatrist says I have a thought disorder and severe anxiety. I am too fucked to hold a job, always emotionally burnt out and have tried a lot of meds to no avail. The only thing I can manage to consistantly so in this life is gym. I am so tired frens, tired and scared that I will never be strong enough to beat this.
You can get through it
For me it ended, a bunch of realziations and crying and then my brain was right
Personality disorder. Basically you are very fucked. Sometimes you stumble upon an enlightenment a few years down the road and change yourself. Sometimes not and life is an eternal struggle until death.
Not good, i'm starting to get aggressive again and keep having these fucking breakdowns, i get extremely angry and some times can't control it, hands shaking etc.. It had stopped for a few months when i really focused on building muscle and getting leaner. I was a fat fuck 100kg+ with pimples all over me, lost over 30kg striving for perfect skin and body, but the amount of imperfections on me drive me crazy (loose skin, stretch marks, the acne of a 14 year old on my face/back/chest).
Anyway, i've been taking some herbal sleeping pills, pretty sure they don't do shit but sometimes i relax. I also bought a bicycle and i go for an 1-2 hour ride every night and i jog everywhere as well, it really helps when you are angry or keep having bad thoughts
What kind of thought disorder?
Only have a few days to write my thesis
All I can do is think of the past failures, worried about getting a job, I've never been more suicidal.
I'm so scared
The situation is never as bad as you think it is, no matter how fucking shit it may seem. You'll get through it.

My mind just wanders constantly, mulls over past experiences or anxiety for the future. The psych suggested it was this because of my peculiar interest in obscure shit like quantum theory and philosophy. Its like my brain is marbles on glass going every direction fast. I could honestly live with it without much stress because its basically the same as ADD. But i have other problems like severe anxiety and depression that feels like either anger or a bad feeling in my gut all of the time. Some days ill be too fucked to even brush my hair but i still manage to go to gym and at least walk on a treadmill for a few hours. Ive realized gym is the only thing I can actually do regardless of mood or state so im giving fitness and PT work a go, but that will be a year away. I just hope these problems will go away enough for me to be a non autist and have obligations without freaking out.
You can try and harness it with meditation
Can meditation actually kill the anxiety?
Best mental state comes with discipline. Soft ways of living create weak ways of living. For me personally it’s sleeping without a pillow, making wise food choices, being home by 11pm, working out and literally tearing my muscles apart so that through that discomfort in every rep, when they heal they will come back stronger and bigger. Working out is a great physical illustration for how your own mental strength is built. Through adversity and perseverance. Praying and taking self discipline and improvement to a divine level. You may not be a Christian but through Christ being a man, we were giving the opportunity to become divine here on earth ourselves in our walk with Christ. It’s to strive for the divine, to reject the world and serve God and transcend from the material to the spiritual. We cannot overcome evil or the world unaided without Christ.
Look at everything around you as a challenge. Overcome things. Fast for a day. When your stomach growls and you want that plate have the self discipline to tell yourself “no” and meditate on what it is you need to work on. After the fast eat that amazing meal and realize you earned it. That food is a gift, a luxury. And you earned it. That you’re only entitled to Bread and Water on this earth and everything else you must strive for yourself.
Through all of this you will be happy in knowing that you aren’t dependent on the world. That even when something great is right in front of you, that you prefer the discomfort because you know that discomfort you feel will build you up into the man you want to become.
Good luck user.

For sure it can at least lower it. But the thing is, it doesn't matter how you feel, because any feeling is okay, you just observe it and keep control of your attention, usually on the breathing. So even if you don't lower anxiety, just watching the anxiety from another angle can help you cope.
Now the more frequent the better. And longer meditation sessions drive more neuroadaption. 2 hours straight is infinitely difficult but very beneficial, 5 minutes a day is good and okay. The key here is that the amount of time spent meditating actually changes your brain permanently for the better, you're shaping your own brain with your own conscious efforts.
How do you meditate? I like to take long walks and think clearly, that's my way of meditating
CBT is literally all homosexuals, and if you like those threads you are probably gay.
fuck off you meme

I stay completely still in a chair, resisting any urges to move anything or scratch anything or lick my lips, breathing slowly through my nose in and out, focusing my attention right on the entry of my nose where the breath passes. If I notice myself thinking of other things, I try to refocus my attention on the breath by the nose. If I'm too far gone and realize this, I hold my breath for a while, this makes it much easier to gain back my ability to focus my attention, and I continue. If my attention wanders but it's emotional for me, I let myself complete the thought and try to feel the emotion completely so that I don't keep things bottled up. Sometimes I set a timer on my fitness watch, which starts vibrating, or just a phone alarm but with the phone alarm I keep worrying that I didn't actually set the alarm because time goes so slow and that's another distracting urge better avoided for me personally
>Provides a healthy and fruitful way of life for user
>cucked pagan who went 3 days on nofap “LOLOL CHRISTKEK KIKE ON A STICK YOU LOVE A JEW”
I love and fight for the “king” of the Jews who made the entire Jewish faith invalid and obliterated the “God’s chosen people meme” when he called them “the synagogue of Satan” and “you are of your father the devil.” The temple being destroyed was a symbol of Judaism having no place in the world and Christ and his followers being the antithesis to them.
Thor and Wœden didn’t do that, Christ did.
Get off this thread.
Yeah im only 22. He also said I could be autistic or the thought disorder is just a symptom of severe anxiety because the body is always in flight or fight mode.

Anyone here quitting nicotine?
I've successfully transitioned from cigs to juul, and then from juul to freebase nic vaping at 3mg/ml. I dont even like vaping anymore, everything is a chore. Sub-ohm tank burns coil and buying new coil is a chore. Rebuilding and rewicking RDA is a chore. As e-cigs will get banned soon, I might as well quit since I dont enjoy the hobby anymore. I'm 48 hours in vaping only 0mg/ml. I hated the taste.
>Anonymity brings out the worst
Yeah but it's also easier to compartmentalize some of the negative as shit posting, more so than on the other socials that are just as nasty but have more sincerity with a registered user at the source.
I used to do that, its pretty terrible for you. I got to the point where I'd snap over small shit and eventually at work. I kind of had to reevaluate how I deal with stress to move past it
Best decision was quitting. It’s expensive, bad for your health and women see it is as disgusting or relate it with being poor and unproductive.
