I'm bored as fuck.
| Damn, I was about to say therapy can help...since I'm in a similar situation and I've just been going to therapy and sleeping all day.
Other than therapy, I would say just make sure to take care of yourself, /g/url! Make sure you get good rest, shower, go out, and eat the best you can. Try and surround yourself with ppl who really love you and talk to them. If you feel better venting on the net or anonymously then journaling is good too.
| Venting can help shed some light on what the root cause of why you don't feel like doing anything. It could be depression but it could also be other beliefs about yours and then you can work on that. Maybe online therapy could be a thing if you have extra funds too or online therapy groups?
| definitely make sure you take care of your basic human needs (eat sleep shit, etc). it sounds a lot like depression? my therapist says i have some uncommon kind of persistent depression that's always on in the background, so apparently that's a thing. i forget what it's called, sorry. of course, i shouldn't discuss my mental health stuff here because im a pedophile, and that means talking about my problems normalizes the sexual abuse of children.

Yeah. Probably shouldn't derail this into yet another pedo thread. They usually don't end well, and OP needs help.

I often feel the same. The only thing that really helps me is being with and talking with my friends. I'm lucky enough to have a group of amazing friends, but when I'm not with them I usually feel just like you describe. Online therapy could be a good idea like >>bc1fe8 said, if you can afford it of course. Therapy can help a lot.
| i didn't meant to hurt op's thread but pref has me so upset i had to lash out (i "really need help" too but some ppl are allowed to talk about it and others aren't??) i think ill uninstall the app. im deffo unwelcome anywhere i should be used to it by now but i guess im just that pathetic to want to belong anywhere.
i second op trying online therapy if irl therapy is no good in her country. ssris are an option but those are kind of uncomfy to think about. op i hope things improve for you.

The fuck? I just meant that OP she be allowed to have her thread. If you need venting make your own. I have both hijacked threads and had my threads hijacked before, and it don't feel good. No hard feelings towards you. I struggle with the same shit.
| >>631702 Willpower is like a muscle, OP. Start by doing the simplest things you can to fix yourself, like satisfying your physical needs properly. If you practice that, you'll get a little closer to being able to fix the bigger problems.
Also, sometimes we need time to stop doing things constantly and just think. Adding some walking, longer baths, and other times when I was forced to think into my daily routine helped me feel less bored when playing video games and such.

Getting out and getting good rest are perhaps the hardest things right now. Don't have much time for the former, and the latter, well, I just can't sleep well for some reason.
>>631748 >>631835
I'm afraid I just... Don't have loving and caring people to surround myself with anymore. Sure, my parents are still around and we have a great relationship, but I don't think I can tell them everything. And what I can tell them they usually just brush off, because once again...
| ...no one cares about mental health here, you're supposed to just "walk it off". And the close friends I had that I could truly confide in, well... Over time I've just pushed them all away. Mostly because I didn't want them to waste their time on someone as worthless as me, partially because I myself am just boring and lazy, so I couldn't contribute all that much to our relationships.
| Online therapy sounds good. But I haven't found any resources in my language, and I'm not confident enough in my ability to express myself fully in English to pay for something like that.

I'm taking small steps towards getting better, but then something goes wrong and I get set back even further down in the dumps. I've lived in this cycle for years now. Going out just stresses me out, and even when I'm left alone I can't quite relax and "stop doing things".
| Although maybe all this stuff is just excuses and nothing more. At times I even think that I've grown accustomed to my misery, to a point maybe even revel in it. Or maybe that is just my anxiety and self-deprecation flaring up. I don't know what to think anymore.

This dysthymia (or persistent depressive disorder) definitely ticks a lot of the boxes for me. I'll have to look into it more.
Thank you, everyone, for your replies! I appreciate it, truly.
| pref made it clear that mental health threads made by certain types are "ban on sight" so that's why i got upset. im not allowed tomake a thread of my own now
dysthymia is the thing. if you have it, idk how you'd treat it. I might have an underlying cause for mine. do you think there might be something that weighs down on you constantly to make you depressed? if not, you may have to treat it just by being proactive with taking care of yourself, and antidepressants if you feel comfy with em
| also, op, look into mindfulness exercises, "mindfulness" is like the basic first thing most therapists try to work on with you. basically it's to help you be aware of your emotions, and it's supposed to help out in a lot of different ways. try to find a mindfulness exercise that seems comfy to you and try doing them during your day when you can or when you think you feel an emotion
| >>631999 fucksake man you can make mental health threads but the board can't be that alone. also, your specific problem could lead to legal repercussions for people other than yourself, which is unfortunate, but means everyone involved has to be much more careful about that becoming a defining facet of the community. if that means you have to leave or be quiet, then do that instead of derailing threads.
| >>631988 Don't think of them as excuses but things that you need to fix of your own volition. If you let your problems be because of something you can't control, you won't be able to change it.
| you're right. i just have to leave. i have to leave, every where i go. there is no place on this earth for me. i will stop bothering this place. goodbye.

| But even tho I'm bored out of my fucking mind I feel too tired to actually do anything, like draw, or play the guitar, or even play video games (which used to be my fav pastime). I don't know what to do with myself anymore. It's getting absolutely unbearable and I don't think I have strong enough willpower to fix myself, but mental health awareness is not really a thing in my country so I can't get any quality professional help either.
