Am I Retarded?
| sleepless nights over nothing in particular, almost debillitating bouts of deja vu, and generally being overwhelmed with either basic tasks, i cant tell if im genuinley some kind of retard or just a regular idiot
also how do i find out
| Like there is any difference. You may feel retarded now but think of yourself different in better situation.
| g/u/rl, the probability that you're just an average idiot (like the rest of us), is relatively high. Many people have similar problems, where they feel they cannot break out of their daily routine. Dissatisfied life, lost love, family problems, loneliness, the feeling of not being where you belong and other problems. What can you do about it? First step: Change yourself. But take your time. Try new things.
| I feel like that's a big problem with the current generation of teens and young adults in general. I feel like that, but still got no clue what to do with that.
| no, I'm retarted.
| ^ this guy is retarded
its gonna be ok op, just find a satisfying way of spending your time and call it hapiness
| Please never mention Emergence again.
| Seems you are trapped 0P G/U/RL
Find something interesting todo.
Even if it means going out of your c/u/mfort z0ne...
Yo/u/ will be better person for it.
| Maybe you're worn down? Do you have any respite from the drudgery of existence? Something like drugs/alcohol. engrossing hobbies, a fantasy to retreat to, friends if you're the type of person who likes to be around people or alone time if you're the opposite, etc? In my experience, if you don't have anything to relieve the pain, it wears down your defenses until you're so raw and exposed that even the smallest stressors become intolerable.
| I read the constantly growing amount of online translated manga everyday in all my free time and call it happiness

OP, listen to this guy.
I feel like I'm in the same situation as you, but right now I've decided to distance myself with the source of my stress (family) as far as possible and focus on whatever I want or need.

trouble is i dont make nearly enough money to get away from my family and as such im stuck with / near them with them hanging over everything i do
id happily move to the other end of the country and never speak to them ever again if i could but right now thats more or less impossible and the catch 22 is if i get a well paid job here i wont be able to relocate anyway
| If you can get a well paid job then at least get your own place.
| You sound a bit depressed OP. I can recommend you take a short walk every day, like 30 mins or an hour or so. (It could be longer). After a while, it'll help you feel better. Also, it's healthy and doesn't cost any money.

But there are other people outside. And let me tell you, they're fricking scary. I'm in a pretty similar situation to OP's, and going outside was always way, WAY too steessful for me. I need to remember to breathe deeply to unwind every hundred of steps or so, because I tense up constantly.
| Doesn't have to be outside specifically. It only needs to be somewhere both comfortable and different for you.
| >>51267
Every change has to start with a first step. That first step might as well be outside. Unless you live in the hood and will get shot. That shit is whack.
Think of it like this: If you keep doing what you always have, the result will be the same as it always was. Try something different for a few weeks.
| >>51477
Good job, OP. Now keep doing it for at least 2 weeks. It might be hard to keep it up, but you WILL feel better.
| That's true actually. Sunlight gives you Vitamin D, which in turn gives you dopamine. The fresh air will also clear your mind. Sometimes to push myself I would try to say to myself that if I should die, at least I'll outside die outside where it's peaceful and invigorating, but then not actually do it anyways.

nah i was laughing at you and you missed it; i already wander around the city aimlessly a lot and it doesnt do shit to help lmao

| whats good g/u/rls, its me, a certain reccuring thread poster (see if you can guess which one) and im trying to figure out if theres genuinley something wrong with me or if im just really fucking entitled
between being stuck in a dead end job with terrible hours and a family situation that more closely resembles Emergence than any slice of life manga, ive realised that even the smallest of things stress me out to the point of inaction (1/2)
