So my gf of 8 months let me borrow her laptop. In the case I found a journal of hers from years back. I read it and deeply regret it .

Don't wanna tell her I read her journal but can't stop thinking about what was in it. I'm lost at what to do. Pls help

I guess that's all I can do. Is just be as open and honest as I can and wait to see if she ever want a to open up toe about it . Sucks though.was thinking about considering proposing. I'm 30 she's 25 and was thinking she was the one I wanted to try to spend the rest of my life with. Worse part is it makes it sound like it was her dad (not positive ). And I've met this mofo. If it was him he still is in her life. ...fuck me

fiance of 4 years left me on valentines day without a word and without taking anything, changed her number and supposedly is in a nother state. There was literally no sign of anything wrong, she simply walked out the front door while i was cooking a special valentines day dinner for her.

I'd just want someone to listen, not say anything, not offer to solve my problems, just sit there and listen. When I was done it would be nice to sip wine and loaf on the couch in my significant other's embrace. Just me though, your results may vary but if you admit you know and force her to face her problems when she isn't prepared she'll just resent you for pushing her.

For the past 5 years I'd been pushing every that ever loved me or grew up with me away. I refused to acknowledge any new associates as friends or go out with them. I acted like an arrogant douche and eventually found it wasn't just because I wanted to push people away but that I also seem incapable of forming meaningful relationships anymore. The first thing that I consider when spending time with a person is how they benefit me or will benefit me in the future. I haven't talked to any family in 3 years.

I appreciate you guys caring enough to answer my pathetic shit. I probably am depressed, but I don't believe it's clinical, I've tried SSRIs to no effect. Lack of motivation stems from an existential sense of futility mostly. Probably negatively affected by the people I live with, but not really able to escape it either, as things are.

hey really need some help getting through some shit here. my girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me cause she wants to do porn. and i found out recently that my bestfriend has been trying to fuck her behind my back since we broke up. im afriad to confront him cause i dont want to lose my bestfriend after losing the girl i love but its eating away at me. i guess what i want to know is how do i get this cranberry juice stain out of my favorite white t-shirt?

>>
>>676852477
A reason to wake up helps but you likely suffer from major depressive disorder. Unless you were taking four pills of SSRIs a day you have hardly tried them.

Talk to a doctor. Listen dude, today I broke down and bawled my eyes out to a new doctor begging for help. I'm a grown ass man too. This problem doesn't go away and the years and years you ignore it just the more the problem grows and your life slowly wastes away. Don't be like me anon, get help, and don't stop trying to better yourself.

Also stay the fuck away from drugs and alcohol.

nah i cant talk to her, i still care about her a lot but i know that if i talk to her anything she'll say is going to hurt me more than she already has. and i guess i just feel pretty betrayed by my bestfriend cause clearly he doesnt respect me enough to not go for the one girl i care about when theres billions of girls on this planet
>>
>>676852239
Well that's another problem entirely.

I really need a therapist. There's a lot of things I need to talk about with someone. The problem being I don't think I could face to face discuss this with someone.

When I was 16, I committed sexual acts with my 2 year old sister. I was watching her afterschool and had to change her, and from there I lacked self control. I feel increasingly guilty for this every day, it'll likely be the cause of my suicide in the future. I exhibit multiple pedophilic tendencies, and have acted on them on numerous occasions. I lack the self control to prevent myself from acting on these desires. So I've isolated myself, doing nothing more than going to work, sitting on the internet and sleeping.

>the combination of severe anxiety and stress is what causes depression and a high lack of motivation
Not at all factual. Depression generally leads to anxiety. Depression is a biological problem with genetic predisposition. You are full of shit.
>>676853154
They are shit. And if a doctor prescribes it and you take it as told you aren't abusing them. Not all people are mentally or chemically well anon. Some need medication to survive.
>>
>>676853320
Then just let both of them go
>>
>>676853308
thanks /b/ro this has been really pissing me off
>>
>>676853409
There are other drugs.
And the only side effect from SSRIs is being able to fuck forever before blowing your load. There is a reason they are prescribed for pre-mature ejaculation.

Stay depressed then. Enjoy your miserable life.
>>
>>676850924
well said good sir thank you!
>>
>>676852891
I don't have any problems with drugs. An occasional hit of LSD seems pretty beneficial to me though, in the absence of real emotional stimuli. Millions of people go to doctors for this shit and their lives are no better, I don't have a lot of confidence in that, but I value your advice and I will probably give it a shot in the next few months if I can't turn it around.
>>676852930
Sounds like the right idea, I just struggle creatively, will keep looking.
>>676853069
I'm definitley stressed about social interactions, failure, and the grimness of the future. I had bouts of anxiety for a while, and do get it about small things like driving, when I have to do them, which is stupid.

>>676853386
Yeah, that'd be hard to talk about face to face with a therapist.

I'm not even sure how to advise you how to fight those urges.
>>
>>676853666
And to that satan I will say millions more go to their doctors and get help and lead normal lives. You don't just hear their stories.

The last 15 years of my life has been on and off medication seeing doctors or not. Just do what the doctor says anon. They know better than you, or me. Be honest, spill your heart out, and let them help you to help yourself. You have zero to lose and everything to gain.
>>
>>676853577
Hah. I hope your not op. Ssri has many side effects
>>
>>676853386
Just talk to them about how you have tendencies and leave the pedophilia acts out
>>
>>676854003
yeah i think thats what im going to have to do. but fuck wheres the loyalty. i mean we were friends for years before i starting going out with her and hes still going to try to get his dick wet over having his friends back.
>>
>>676854183
OP isn't an MD so his opinion is irrelevant. In my taking them on and off again for a decade that is the only side effect. Attaining and keeping an erection has never been an issue, for me or the vast, vast majority of male users.

SSRIs are mild as fuck man. There is a reason millions take them everyday.
>>
>>676853666
So break the whole situation down and analyze it yourself, because only you can, not some shrink. I've dealt with numerous shrinks and he will assume you're depressed right away, but why?
I think it's your lack of motivation that never ending and is causing you to feel like a failure that is making you feel depressed and anxious. It's just a vicious cycle. Lack of motivation - depression - lack of motivation
>>
>>676850436
Don't know how to say this without sounding vague and insincere. But, it doesn't matter. Move on. You have lots of life left to see and this was just one leg of it. Look forward not backwards. Think positively and live your life. I know it sounds like a tumblr meme but take it literally. This is but a brief moment of your life. Change the channel and see what's next.
>>
>>676846225
why do most therapists use canned phrases such as "and how does that make you feel?" and "wow, you're so smart." or shit like that? I feel it's a cheap go-to that means "I cant think of anything right now".

also I have an issue with therapists not believing me about things. Yeah I know I'm well adjusted and happy, but that doesnt mean I dont have problems. They also dont want to remain objective I've noticed.

How do I find a therapist that remains objective and who will help me sort out my problems logically and methodically while giving me feedback that's not repetitive questions or agreeances?
>>
>>676846225
why
>>
>>676850436
i know it sucks man but enough time and everything stops hurting. clearly she wasnt the one. look at it this way, when you split she got to keep her and you got to keep you. that means you got the better end of the deal man. chin up and keep chuggin along. but i really am sorry to here that /b/ro i hope you find a girl whos ten times better
>>
>>676853874
Not OP but well enough.
>>
>>676854559
This response seems legit. So here's my thoughts moving forward.

If I can get through that barrier and really look at myself instead of submerging myself in escapism all the time (not so easy, why am I on 4chan?), I still fear the complexity of my life is more fuckery than I realistically overcome. And at bottom, nothing in life may really appealing to me, so how the real question is, what keeps a nihilist going?

>>676855093
Not an MD but it's probably to gain the patients trust that they can tell them anything. I never felt like I could trust my doctors as a teenager, so I barely talked to them or told them anything I didn't want people to know.
As for the "How does that make you feel?", there's nothing wrong with that one.
>>

You can't get serotinin syndrome from CT SSRIs dipshit. You get that from an OD.

>>676855093
First: Not OP
Second: True objectivity is unobtainable in the human mind.

You very likely do have issues you want to talk about in a comfortable place, but you have to see it from their perspective, most therapists and counselors deal with some deep dark shit on a daily basis, it's hard to keep balanced when you hear firsthand about the worst of humanity on a daily basis.

Its a tough gig so give 'em a bit of a break. And the canned phrases, especially "How does that make you feel?" are pretty useful for getting at the core of the matter at hand.

"Wow, you're so smart" is kind of demeaning I admit but at the same time some people close to the edge do need to hear a little positivity.

>>676846225
One day I was at work (I'm an armed security guard) and I was at a new contract where I had to stand in one place for 45 minutes every hour for 8 hours. I'm already not great at standing still and in fact I fidget and move a lot.

A couple hours or so into work, after I had had my coffee, I started having really high anxiety and even thoughts of me doing terrible things (like shooting people) that made me really uncomfortable. I'm a positive person a lot of the time and I basically never get angry.

I don't even know what I'm asking you about this but basically is there anything I can research on my own that might lead to an explanation for this? Maybe some sort of anxiety caused by standing still not doing anything? (I already have no problem sitting at my computer for long periods of time as long as I have something to read or whatnot). Also having weird thoughts of things I would never do in real life that make me uncomfortable has happened to me before.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I think this sounds like fun. I love emotionally torturing women with self -esteem issues.
>>
>>676855957
I dont really have an issue opening up to people and being honest with them. I think it may be that the therapists want a close relationship built on trust.. when.. I talk better to a disinterested stranger frankly. I want to hear blunt truths.

I think maybe what I'm searching for is a psychiatrist instead of psychologist. I'm schizophrenic and I want more explanations and biology related theories and methods than emotional coping skills.

I've been told twice that I dont need therapy. But I have to go once every 3 months in order to get my meds.

I'm just not sure how to utilize my therapy to its fullest extant. I need to explain something long and complicated and then get feedback towards decisions regarding long and complicated things.

maybe I need a specialist? Then again, I dont know how much help that'll be.

maybe I just dont need therapy. Maybe I just need a peer.

the whole anti depressant shit is marketed towards people who think or are depressed, yes, but it is a fraud to make MONEY. It gets you hooked, and when you stop, you feel more depressed and they make ya go back on it again. There's other ways of conquering depression. Why put something in your body that you know nothing about?

My bad guys. I worded that badly. I meant stopping cold turkey will sure you how powerful these drugs actually are. (Brain zaps, vertigo, psychosis) . Serotonin syndrome was supposed to be a different topic regarding side effects of prolonged use. I'll find a study on cognitive decline if you'd like. I take razadyne to combat this side effect. Also regarding the sight apathy I thought that was common knowledge

I licked her pussy, put about half way to the first bend in my finger inside her, and masturbated myself with her hand, and finished on her butt/stomach. I did this for about 2-3 months, then the conflicting side, that truly does exist, that resents these urges and acts got me out of the situation by acting out until I got moved to live with another relative.
>>
>>676856743
That makes sense.

I just need someone that doesnt invalidate my experiences but at the same time doesnt enable or mindlessly validate things.

I'm schizophrenic, so .. as an example..
Lets say I hallucinate a cat with two heads. I *saw* that cat, but I knew it wasnt real. I was unnerved and confused and want to know how I can either express or reject this event in a positive manner.

>>basically talks like this to his therapist.

then my therapist replies with "wow, you're really smart!" and I wanted to punch him.

they also said "well. it looks like you dont need therapy. are you sure you still need medication?"
and I was like.. holy shit. fuck you. You /do/ realize that some people it's biological and not necessarily just psychological.

I know all there is to know and I know depressive disorder is not something you can conquer. The rich, famous, and elite blow their brains out too. This is a chemical imbalance in the brain. If you can fix yourself by not being a lazy fuck then you aren't actually medically depressed in the first place.

SSRIs are beyond mild and any side effects from cessation of use is a joke and lasts a few weeks. Try dope sometime anon and grow a pair.

To be expected, they are temporary in nature

Beyond rare.

Serotonin syndrome is from overdose or a drug interaction and NOT a symptom of prolonged use.

Cognitive decline is debatable, and apathy is a known side effect. SSRIs level out the peaks of emotions, good or bad. Anyone who takes them should know this. Overall quality of life increases for nearly all users.

Serotonin syndrome I guess is an overdue buy one that takes several months to achieve. Not like taking 10x your usual dosage 1 time.

They are very helpful but are way overprescribed. They are life sentence. Something that is rarely relayed to the patent. A hormonal teen doesn't need them. Therapy should be mandatory before they are prescribed imo. Just saying overall they more potent than you believe
>>
>>676859327
I'm american.

the state mandated that because I'm schizophrenic, I need to be medicated. (they pay in full for my medication) but in order to get my medication, I have to see a therapist every so often.

I've just been treating it as a "okay here's a checkup"

I also receive food stamps so in order to keep my geese lined up, I have to do paperwork in order to keep these things going.

and b4 "get a job faggot" I have a job, I have my own apartment, pay my own car insurance, and pay all my bills on time. All due in part to me being medicated. Because previously I was wandering about on the streets babbling about whatever the fuck.

if i dont fucking know why im an asshole, isnt that what the fuck youre here for? to tell me why im an asshole and how to fix it?

fucking nigger.

the best thing i can come up with is some bullshit i was once told after a failed suicide attempt several years ago... "you are the way you are because u dont believe u deserve other ppls time" or some bullshit like this, but the bitch never helped beyond that.

>>676861161
Not anon you responded to but it would be a good idea for you to keep those quarterly sessions, with your condition you could go off the rails if your medication quit working or if you accidentally went off of them. They're a good way to make sure you don't end up back on the street or in an unstable state.
>>
>>676861064
Start with a talk therapist. Avoid rx for as kind as possible. Just accept that you think differently than others. Instead of feeling guilty try spreading positivity. Practice test: tell 10 people or objects that you love them tomorrow. Either out loud or internally. If you feel a bad thought counter it with a thought containing the word love. "I would Love To see Jim get better". You seem to have a good heart. You're still finding yourself. Don't be afraid. It's people like you who can change the world for better.

Pointing this out again because I'd like an answer. I figure my best bet is to stop masturbating to it. But it seems so pointless.

My dads been diagnosed as bipolar years ago (when I was young ~10yo). There was always something so off about him (way too much to explain) which could in no way be described as being bipolar, and I am now almost certain he is a psychopath (as in actual DSMV definition, not the average persons 'crazy murderer' definition).

Since I know its an inheritable thing, how would I know if its been passed onto me? I know you will doubt what I think, but I can guarantee you he is, he was way too smart to ever show his true face to his psychiatrists/psychologists.

If you have any questions about certain traits, ill be happy to give you examples.

It's fairly difficult to get off to anything else. I need at least a hint of my fetish. And I won't ever overcome it and I don't want to. I want to be rid of the fetish. I'll be 26 in April. I've been wanting to kill myself most of my life. I wanted to get to 27. I don't know. Somehow joining Kurt Cobain seemed poetic. But it's getting harder. I can't hold a relationship because of my fetish. I don't think I can make it another year. Every day thoughts of my fetish consume me. They cause me great anxiety. I honestly don't want to live on this planet because of my fetish. I sometimes wish I was a different species of another world where my fetish didn't exist and I could be free.

I can't advise anything without a deep analysis of your mind and your circumstances.

But if you want a short version the best way to stop being an asshole is to take interest in others and feel empathy. Get a dog or a cat, its hard to be a dick to something that just loves you outright. It's possible but harder than being a dick to people because with people you can always analyze the cost/benefit of having a relationship with them, with pets there is none of that.

As for motivation I struggled with that a lot myself, I'd always put it off and then say next week for sure, but never did it. Eventually I wrote about a dozen notes for myself to actually set up an appointment and put them all over the place so I couldn't ignore it. You know you need to see someone so don't worry about feeling like a melodramatic cunt, they get paid to deal with melodramatic cunts all the time, just tell them honestly that you've seriously contemplated suicide multiple times and they'll be sure you have regular appointments to talk through whatever ails you.

I don't want to say because you wouldn't understand. I've talked about it on here before, no one understands. It's a subset of one of the most common fetishes. But it goes deep for me. Where most people's version of this fetish is more fantasty (like role play) mine is about it happening reality. And it has happened in reality. And even though it hasn't happened to me, I can't even live with the idea of it happening to someone else. I want everyone to die so the memory of it can be erased.

When I seek out stories of my fetish online and stumble upon true stories I freak out. It hurts. It's hard to put into words, but it damages me down to my soul. But I don't stop looking. I often wonder if anyone else is like me. I know I'm not the only one with this fetish, but am I the only one who is so bothered by it?

Anyway, I'm going to bed. My fetish actually makes me hesitant to kill myself. It affects so many aspects of my life. I would explain but no one ever understands and if you knew you'd only brush it off.

It's been over a month since a 15 minute screening interview for group therapy (they didn't even mention one-on-one as a possibility), and that was 10 weeks after the initial referral. Didn't even do any proper assessment or diagnostic shit either. Tell my doctor I'm depressed as fuck, referral is written, psychiatrist asks questions almost entirely related to sharing in a group and no probing questions about my problems.
Icing on the cake, all they have on record is my initial complaint of depression, but I have had symptoms consistent with manic episodes since then as well.

meaningless sex is meaningless, hat said losing your virginity isn't a big deal, and more than likely will be a disappointing experience since you'll likely be nervous as hell. You probably shouldn't have sex with someone in a committed relationship but maybe that's just my old fashioned ways of thinking, I can't keep up with the flippant attitude people my generation and younger seem to have towards relationships.
Anyways, if you're going to have sex just to not be a virgin anymore I'd recommend against it, especially if its with someone you know. It's your choice of course but I personally advise against having meaningless sex with a friend just in an attempt to get over not having sex with an ex. Find someone else to take her place.

You're right, I disagree with having sex just to have sex. At the moment, not trying to be dramatic or anything, I just feel like I'm going to be stuck with this depression or I'm eventually going to kill myself. Its been two years and I can't get over a girl I no longer want to be with. She was pretty damn amazing, made me happier than I could ever be again, and I can't have that shit anymore. Its not exactly easy living your life trying to find that same happiness and knowing you can't.

This isn't really about me being upset that I never had sex with my ex, I just want to get out of my depression. I can kinda see myself with my friend, but its no where near the same amount of feeling I had for my ex. Figured that if I did something intimate with her things might seem different to me, but at the same time I don't want to be a dick to her or ruin her relationship.
