Thread 631837 on danger/v/ Loading...

| I kinda want to get into an mmo but I think what I really want is to play online with others. I'm not in any groups or such and I guess I'm just seeing MMOs as any easy way to push myself to meet others and play online. I just have a PS4 and Switch though so that limits me a bit. I also don't think I'd be able to push myself enough to not just play solo and keep to myself even if it's online.I'm
also not good with self motivation and feel as I might be a lost cause..

| Therapy? You sound like you got more problems than just what game to play.

| Either get FFXIV on your PS4 (might be a bit expensive to get with all the expansions) or wait for PSO2 release either on PS4 or on Switch.

| I'll try out FFXIV. Therapy isn't something I think I can do.

Trying is always worth it. Trust me. It helps.

| >>632034 They don't care it's just their job. Why would I tell them things I haven't told anyone else. Just paying money for them to judge me and tell me things I already know. I don't see any hope that way.

| >>632041
You are very obviously paranoid and don't know how therapy works. You don't avoid going to the doctor when you're sick just because it's their job to treat you? It's the same thing. Don't judge it until you've tried it.

| >>c61ca5 I don't know.. It just seems too big of a jump to open up to someone randomly especially in person. With a doctor, I at least know what they give me will help my condition. My family says I should get medication but i'm scared of consuming things that will change how I think. I don't want to lose myself.

| >>632104
It's not loosing yourself, it's restoring yourself. It's medicine. It's created to help and nothing else. I do understand your doubts, but it's not like your opening up to a random person. You're opening up to a professional who's trained to help you. Who is trained to be accepting and help you get through what you're struggling with. I go to therapy, and they really don't do it purely for money. I have experienced first hand how much they genuinely care and want to help.

| >>632160 I don't know what I'd say to them. I feel like i'll clam up and just start crying without even saying anything..and I don't feel like I'm struggling with much right now. I just have bad social anxiety but that doesn't compare to other troubles people are having. People that deserve the help.

| >>632160 I'm sorry if i'm just sounding annoying or if it's weird how much I'm talking about this when i'm saying it's hard. It's just a lot easier to type things out and send than to actually speak about them to someone especially face to face. But with how you said the medicine will be "restoring" me, does that mean my current self is just a broken form of what I used to be? I remember I used to be a lot more outgoing and social when I was younger but I don't know when it changed

| >>632207
Ay, it's alright. Venting is good for you, and yes. That is what I mean. Currently you are a hurt and restricted form of yourself. Medicines are meant to remove the stuff that is hindering you, the stuff that shouldn't be there, or at least keep it in check/make it milder. While I don't have any meds myself I know someone who was prescribed meds for their anxiety and it more or less made them what they used to be. Just removed the bad stuff and let the rest be.

| Of course, meds aren't always the solution and there are other ways they help you than with meds, but they are not something you should be afraid of. When prescribed correctly they are a very good thing.

>>632198
Do not say your problems are less important than others. Everyone struggles with different things, and none of them or more or less important. If you're thinking people who are trying to commit suicide and stuff like that there is a reason they have emergency staff ready.

| By going to therapy you would not be holding up or ruining for anyone elses you would only be helping yourself.

You say that you might cry if you talk to a therapist and not be able to say anything. First of all, that is more than enough proof that you could really use therapy. Social anxiety like that can fuck you up big time if you don't get help for it. Secondly, they are trained for that and have experienced that multiple times. They'll help you gather yourself if it happens.

| >>632228 I don't know how to feel exactly but I think i'll look into getting therapy or medicine. I probably won't be able to do it anytime soon though with financial stress. But i'll save up from time to time for it. Thank you all for your kind words. I wasn't really expecting anyone to tell me anything kind and for people to just troll me instead. I know this might be a little weird to ask but is there any way I can be friends with you guys? I've liked this conversation.

| >>632231
I'm glad. Therapy and medicine usually goes hand in hand as you often need to be diagnosed by a professional to be allowed to buy the medicine. I wish you luck though.

Yeah, of course. Aside from >>0068e9 the rest of the replies are me, so that's not really a lot of friends, but you seem pretty nice. I'd love to talk more. Do you have Discord? More importantly, do you have a Discord alt account, so you don't have to share your main here?

| >>ffca9f Idk exactly how discord works but my number is #6687 or ModdyDotty#6687. Sorry for the late response as well, I'm currently at work.

| >>632265
All good homie. I'll add you now.

| This has to be one of the nicest conclusion to a thread in danger/u/. I hope things get better for you, op!

| >>ced572 Thank you. I hope this can get better and that I can make some friends.. I've had trouble keeping any friends both online and irl. I feel like my self doubt and paranoia get to me and ruin it all every time.. I really hope Therapy and Medicine can help me.
