Why is this depressing? Look at that great big smile on his fac oh yeah right, the horrible shell shock.
>>691205578
>>691205331
jeez
>>691205331
Someone explain this to me
>>691206078
First World War soldier with shell shock.
>>691206078
Shell shock aka PTSD
>>691206306
>>691206253
Call me dumb but,
still doesn't explain the smile
Have a sad pepe :(
>>691206519
He's smiling because he's having a sort of breakdown. It's a crazy smile, look at his eyes. He's been through hell,
>>691206519
the man is completely broken. gone
you're dumb
>>691206519
It does, to an extent. Ever seen saving private ryan? Where Tom Hanks stops on the shore to just look around? That's shell shock. Your brain is confused with your body and is having a sort of "Sensory overload" You just can't keep up with the present so you shut down and begin to have a breakdown. He's smiling probably to cope, I assume.
>>691206715
That too ^
>>691204658
Then look into a mirror, idiot.
>>691206519
He's smiling because he's having a complete mental breakdown. The only other thing that comes close is the WW2 100 yard stare.
>>691204463

Oh god this hits hard
>>691206715
>>691206742
Now it makes more sense.
>>691206742
Well said. It's a reflex, I know people that have laughed hysterically at funerals. The human brain is a strange thing, and with something as traumatic as war, well, you get pic related

Too close to home.
>>691207610
Do you miss me, anymore?...
>>691206193
this is from the Steam Dota2 movie that came out. i forget what it's called. i would suggest watching it. it's an interesting story.
A lot of those at the top of the thread struck pretty close to home for me.
*sigh* Give me one reason to live. One. That's all I ask.
>>691207156
Thank you. Miss this guy...
>>691207807
If you aren't happy why are they.
Your reason to live is to make people feel like you.
Boom
Join me
>>691207785
And I don't even notice when it hurts anymore...
>>691207016
An old lecturer of mine said that he was friends with a British soldier who had returned from war, and while he was over there his best friend was shot in the face right in front of him.
He started laughing uncontrollably as soon as it happened. He said he could never understand why he did, and because of that he felt responsible for his death (survivors guilt).
There was no way he could've saved him or prevented it, but because he laughed, he felt like it was his fault somehow.
>>691207641
Yeah, that's a solid example of the thousand yard stare. You can tell the guy has seen some shit, but he's JUST strong enough to hold it together.
The scary thing is he's also just one step away from breaking. And I wouldn't want to be anywhere near when that happens.
>>691206918
Every time I see that it hits the feels as if it were the first time...
Regarding shell shock, here's a picture of a veteran hiding from a fireworks show and covering their ears. This is what combat can do to the human mind. If you're thinking about joining the military, and going into a branch/position that involves serious combat. I'd advise against it.You won't return the same, if you return at all.
>>691207807
That in the end, you're yourself. Every day at school I have to put up a facade to be "in", to be "hip". I have to act like a degenerate monkey to get others to notice me, and I still haven't asked out my crush due to me being afraid she will recognize me as "the /b/tard/". I can't be who I want to be because people will forget about me, and if I go down this path, eventually they'll block me off because thy think I'm a pyscho. So here I am, on 4chan.
>>691206519

OP Here
I can't tell you how much what he said is important
I'm a sandnigger from Iraq and you have no idea how destructive real war is.
I survived only to wonder why didn't I just starve in that desert in Mousil or get shot in Baghdad and just end all the misery.

this reached the deepest void of my feels
Once there was a boy.
He wasn't special, in fact he was very average.
His father was too lenient, while his mother was too strict.
They both worked long hours, and so the boy grew up alone.
When he got good grades, the mother would expect better.
When he got bad grades, he would be beaten and ostracized.
Eventually, he went to college.
There he met his first love.
When he confessed his love, he was rejected.
She chose to have a jock as her boyfriend.
And so he was alone and filled with bitterness in his childhood.

>>691210553
anyone remember the power ranger movies revolving around the "zoron knight" or some weird shit like that, who's son was killed by a space dictator or some shit and the knight ended up sacrificing himself to save the planet.
Kinda feelzy now when I look back on it.
>>691211890
yes
depressing in unconventional ways
I'm attractive. I'm intelligent. I'm charming as all hell and I make good money.
However, due to a horribly abusive and fucked up childhood, I now drink heavily, have mental issues and want to die daily.
Probably like the rest of you.
Here prepare for feels

Eventually, he got a degree and a job.
Along with hundreds of other people, he worked in an office.
He had a tiny cubicle and a computer.
It was the first thing he had ever owned.
He was great at his job, and kept his workspace clean.
He did everything his boss asked on time.
For the first time, he was in control.
Then, a fire.
It had consumed the building, along with something even more valuble.
The young man's hope.
He found another job, but his mind was just never there.
His old flame reappeared, tired of the deadbeat jock.
She wanted someone to clean up the shitstain that was her life.
She was done with rigorous partying, and wanted someone to give her a safe haven.
Yet again, here he was, everyone's plaything.
He was in a dead end.
And so he was filled with bitterness in his prime.

Its fine man, it just got me thinking. And its true, its almost always true. And I'm 18, I know this one won't last forever, but that knowledge is depressing as fuck. And I'm already dealing with everything else, it just hit me a little too good. How about you, how are you?
>>691211841
I know this. It seems like lots of guys just want to spend most days lying around not doing much. But it doesn't seem like women are content with that. I want a woman who doesn't expect me to be anything but myself. I want to just cuddle and talk and sleep. I have a hard time connecting with people though.

Drunk and depressed lol. Just feeling like my life has been, and always will be, a series of mediocrity and dissapointment
>>691204658
DAMN
BRO
TOO MUCH
>>691204658
he wasn't depressed, he had dementia
>>691214322
Yes we hear you
>>691214381
Lots do. For example, I've been to football games where they have a fireworks show and there were several people there in uniform.
>>691213888
He was living death.
A monotonous cycle of work, sleep and complaints.
Eventually, he snapped.
When he was on the bridge, he thought to himself.
>>691214170
It's not one girl anymore for me, man. I grew so weary of looking to be loved by anyone I lost track of of the people I've gone through and my goals and my interests and the things that make me sad. Now I just don't know how to feel happy anymore and I look for anything to make me feel numb. Make me feeling anything except sad.
Unfortunately I have a religious family that takes even that from me.
>>691214568
I can't handle drunk, makes me more depressed. Weed is my poison of choice, but its not easy here (non-legal country).
one of the things fucking me up right now is my family constantly telling me that I can "easily" ace everything if I would just DO it. But I don't. Because I can't. and I don't know why, I just cannot do it. So I've accepted that my life will at max be mediocre, but most likely shitty. I'll do drugs until my dad dies and then overdose on heroin I think
>>691209862
sauce?
>>691215006
My plan is just wasting time, getting by in whatever way I can. Anything that keeps me distracted is good. Dota 2 is my timesink of choice, when I don't have drugs available at least.
And this is my first girl too. She's the one I lost my virginity to, but she is just too good. I know it won't last, and it won't end by my choice.
>>691210172
explain further?
>>691214958
Humans cause war and rape.
War and rape cause suffering.
Humans live, and so they suffer.
To live, is to suffer.
So, by logic, death is a cure for suffering.
To die is to no longer suffer.
So why live?
I dunno about you guys but I think I've gotten so good at controlling depression where I can actually use it
it's hard to think of an example where its useful, stuff like if i need to do something or something
Basically I just recognise that I'm depressed & think its stupid so it goes away
Pretty sure I saw an article after developing/using this method that confirmed that it actually helps some people deal with it just by recognising it
can't find it though
>>691214303
Fuuuuuuuuck
Those of you who think life's bad on account of girlfriends . . . Just wait. It gets so much worse.
When it's all said and done, you'll look back on women as the least of your troubles.
There are things much, much worse than being alone.
>>691211440
oh yea, I so have nothing beter to do with my time than talk to some lonely dude on 4chan... how was ur day bro?
>>691215135
depends on my mood really. Whether I'm in a good mood or a bad mood, alcohol always exemplifies that mood. Anyway, that's pretty fucked up for your family to do. My advice would be that you should be the only person running your life. Your success should only be measured by your standards, not anyone else's. I know it sounds bullshitty coming from a drunk stranger on the internet, but you'll never be happy until you learn to take control of your own life. Pursue things that are meaningful to YOU. That's my two cents, anyway. I got my own slew of problems so take my advice with a grain of salt haha.
>>691215759
It is stupid to be depressed, therefore I'M stupid for being depressed. The hole gets deeper
>>691215943
Things aren't all bad anon. Have a beer.

You seem more experienced than I am, and it seems reasonable. I'm moving away at the end of the summer anyways. Do you think suicide is legit? I'm not gonna do it yet, but I don't want to live a full life
>>691212124
quick thinking in a pinch.
>>691216135
No, anon, things aren't all bad.
But I think it must be the case to any thinking person that it is not the case that life is inherently good, but sometimes bad things happen.
The reality is, existence is a curse. Life is inherently bad, but sometimes the constellation of suffering is punctuated by good moments.
>>691208413
this actually makes me happy, if nothing else. knowing that life is meaningless is comforting
>>691206144
I've had a similar thing with a convo with an ex, except then she said she texted the wrong person.
>>691216758
Oh my fuck. I am so sorry man. Fucking hell
>>691215465
I can't even find a passtime anymore. I feel so purposeless. I'd lose the need for love if I had something I could do well enough to love myself. I used to think I was hot shit with Graphic Design, then I moved to the US and saw how barely average my best work is and I just quit that. Now I just wake up, eat, and wait for my time to fall asleep again.
>>691207942
That's rather juvenile
>>691216758
what a cunt
>>691204929
fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
>>691215943
Man you guys need to realise that pretty much everyone under the age of 60 will live long enough to see their lifespans extended indefinitely & in the scope of an indefinite lifespan most things are kinda petty
>>691216129
maybe stupids not the best word, I havnt been depressed in a while but iirc it goes
'being depressed' -> recognise that I'm just depressed -> depression goes away
maybe I'm just insane & putting a religions worth of faith in humanity becoming ageless pretty soon & the long view is kind of optimistic. Also I'd rather destroy my ego to the point that i basically become a servitor just to observe than commit sudoku. Dunno if being a pessimistic optimist helps either, y'know, hope for the best but expect the worst
pic kind of related, it's a sci-fi level prosthetic you can actually feel through
>>691216992
Yeah man.
I still remember texting something like "I love you too. I know we can get past this and work things out. I still want you to be my wife."
Something along those lines. Still hurts in a way. But I ended up finding someone who really values me, so I guess it was all for the best.
>>691216961
>implying any of us have friends
>>691217028
have you ever tried mdma? Its not a natural good feeling, but its a good feeling, it has been known to rewire brains, kind of, maybe you'll find purpose after. I mean, what have you got to lose?

Jenna P, if you're in here now, it's Derek, I miss you so much and I remember you always browsed /b/ I've been trying to talk to you ever since we lost contact but nothing works. I just want to talk to you again
>>691204929
This one actually made me feel better.
>>691216585
Honestly, from time to time I find myself thinking that my family is the only thing keeping me alive. More often than not I have some sliver of hope for a better future but back when my depression was at its peak, my family was pretty much the only thing that kept me going, if only to spare them the heartache of losing me. I understand that the situation may not be the same for everyone, and that some people truely feel they have nothing to keep them going. But I would strongly implore you to hold on to anything that would make you want to delay death. Whether that be a person, an event, a tv show, or even a thought, hold on to it. Let that thing carry you from day to day. And never stop your search for meaning and purpose in life. Until you find that, just hold on. Hold on to that thing that gets you through the day
>>691217299
An ageless, perpetual humanity would be hell.
I'm not trying to be edgy here: death is a gift, man.
Doesn't mean you have to rush into its teeth, but don't mistake things either. Thank god we die.

If you want to die eventually, fine, but it's also incredibly pessimistic to think that we wouldn't be able to deal with and problems springing from curing aging

I don't know. its all pointless anyways, and if at first I don't succeed, I can always just shoot up way too much heroin and go away. I guess that could be motivation to just try everything before that though. I don't know what I want, but its not this.

There's always artificial joy. Weed, booze, nicotine is relaxing at least. I am a gaming addict, but I don't know if I enjoy it anymore. I just have to. When I lose I feel useless and dumb, when I win its just onto the next game. Its just how I pass the time. The only real joy is the girl, but it will pass, eventually. I won't off myself while my dad is alive, so there's atleast 20 more years if there's no accidents

Tomorrow you could go out to the gas station around the corner for something to drink. Maybe you're wearing a shirt of your favorite band. Then the new girl working there strikes up a conversation about the band and you get her number. Maybe she's the nicest, sweetest, funniest girl you ever meet. She falls in love with you and treats you like you really matter, because to her, you do.
Or any other of the infinite amazing things that could happen tomorrow. Hope.

Well that gives you 20 years to find meaning in your life. A couple years ago, back when my suicidal thoughts were at their peak, I would give myself till age 35, and if I still had nothing worth while, I would off myself. It gave me enough time to find some meaning while still knowing that there was a solid end to the suffering, alight at the end of the tunnel, if you will. As for the girl, I've been too emotionally isolated and jaded to get involved in a serious relationship for a while now. However, if I were in your situation, I would try to focus less on the futility of relationships, and more on the joy you find with her. Live in the moment, if you will. You can beat this, anon. I believe in you

Check em again
So I tell this girl, to her face, that she is beautiful, smart, and funny, and if he can't see that she's better off without him. This is probably the most "daring" thing ive ever done in my life. Year goes on, I bake her 3 whole batches of cookies(her favorites) for her birthday.

actually not too bad. I mean I get high every day and I've gotten over my fear of needles.
what sucks is when your parents find your needles and you leave your dope in the same bag so they take your $100 bag :/
had to buy some subs to stop from being sick cause that made me run out of money

End of the year comes along, I ask her out. She politely declines at the time. Couple days later, last day of school, she comes up to me and says "never talk to me again anon"
>>691221521
Yeah, I guess. Its 7 am here, I think I'll go to bed soon. Maybe I'll wake up feeling better. or worse. Or the same, I'll live on anyways, searching, but probably wasting my time. Thanks for your positive attitude man

You're a heroin addict living with your parents? How do you make that work? Hows the high from heroin?
>>691212117
MOAR!!!

That would definitely explain why some people are just born beautiful, smart, or charismatic; while the rest of us are stuck working our ass off for no reward.

Jesus, these gets.
So I think shes out of my life. (Never found out what her fucking problem was). Fast forward to this year. My brother is trying to find me a girlfriend because he knows what a depressed useless fuck I am. So he finds some "hot chick around my age" and lo and behold, its Julie. He's talking to her, or messaging her, whichever, and he manages to get her number for me

Thank you too, my dude. It actually helps me work through my own problems. When things get dark, just know you have at least got one /b/ro rooting for you. I wish you the best of luck and hope you find meaning in your life. Goodnight, fellow depresed /b/ro

Yeah, I'm here over the summer from college. Mostly just shoot up when my parents are gone. Parents split recently so I have a lot of alone time.
What can I say that hasn't been said? couple nights ago I ended up dancing with my dog to VU cause I was so happy. Life is just bearable. Work is better. Arms are sore.
>>691217539
I have only one friend; and if he left or died, I don't think I'd keep going. We're both very isolated, but when I'm with him is the only time I'm actually happy
>>691214178
Not sure if you're still in this thread...but what you've said, I have that girl. We eat, work, come home and cuddle with our dog, then sleep and repeat. That is all we have. Keep on keeping on because there are girls out there like that. She is the only thing I think is keeping me going at this point.
