Ask a Psychologist anything!
No, I am not Alice. Yes, I will actually answer your questions with sincerity.
Don't suffer alone.
hi not alice show us your dick
>>768772955
Did you even play Fate/Stay Night?
>>768773777
Nice trips, Anon~!
But why would you want to see some random strangers genitals?
>>768773978
No, but I've watched it. Any other questions?
>>768772955
Have you tried making this thread on >>>/r9k/ ? They love to whine.
>>768774012
Because this is 4chan. Show dick.
>>768774155
Ah, but I feel I'm needed here.
>>768774176
How about a hug? *hugs*
i'm sorry anon
i don't belive in your profession, seems like a load of bulshit and just sitting there and doing nothing but taking your money
ill use booze to cure my problems
>>768774258
I am a literal nazi
I am diagnosed with Asperger, OCD, PTSD and Panic disorder.
Can I see your dick please?
>>768774632
But substance abuse can really damage you, anon. My profession may seem ineffective at first, but I promise, if you give it a try you'll start seeing results. I'm here for you.
>>768772955
what's the purpose of our lives
go ahead
if you're not alice does that mean all psychologists are weeaboo roleplay LARP faggots? does the profession just tend to attract neckbeards or what?
>>768774918
Wait, how did you time travel from WW2 all the way to your computer? Heh, just joking of course.
Let's tackle them one by one. Are you taking any therapy for your OCD?
>>768775005
well i suffer from depression and anxiety attacks in a major way that prevents me from doing anything in my life
i'm too much selfe aware and i consume a lot of shit and regret it later(i regret after every cig i smoke)
also can't enjoy weed due to paranoia and self control (also im in the army of my country)
anyway i tried everything medicne doesnt help and my body is just whacko so i dont give a shit anymore
i'm just waiting for the end...
>>768775140
It attracts criminals. People with something to hide so bad, they need a degree in hiding it.
>>768775119
The purpose is to give meaning to what we find valuable. This is achieved by recognizing the things that illicit an emotional response from us.
>>768775140
Well, I'm not a neckbeard...so? Do you need to talk?
>>768775291
>not a neckbeard
>animu girl avatarfagging and tildes
ok
>>768775214
You need some incentive based therapies, sweet heart. Maybe a kind word or two as well? *hugs* I'm there for you.
I'll be leaving for now, unfortunately, but I'll be back later for all of you! Take care now~
>>768775291
it's elicit, not illicit. stop pretending to have a college degree on the internet.

fuck off
Eh i have depression, although i hate this term cause many use it like a bad mood for a day, while i am having it since January. Didn't believe it, but after seeing symptoms, i kinda do now. Pc broke yesterday, my marks have gone to shit and i feel lonely. Not in a way that i have no friends, it's just that i do not make new ones, while others fade away as i get older.
>>768772955
My wife has mental and physical issues. She is on sertraline but still has major social anxiety and can't do normal things like go into stores and easily falls apart if something triggers her. She has a shit ton of dogs that help her mental state but due to her physical issues can barely take care of them and if I don't the house ends up covered in shit. She also has basically no sex drive and only reluctantly fucks me if I do some bs for her and even then it usually leaves her in pain. And finally I can't get her to go to doctors without a major fight due to the above issue.
So my life is shit. What do?
>>768775291
Erika?
>>768775440
i'm just better off with ending myself
>>768775756
divorce her and get a better one.
>>768775148
I am not getting therapy for OCD, used to and got better, but now it is all back.
>>768775816
I forgot to mention she lets me fuck other chicks.
>>768775291
Whose answer is this? it's simple yet sound, does a certain psychologist came up with it?
>>768775933
that changes everything. hire a cheap housekeeper on cgslist and just make sure she doesn't steal your silverware. pay her with your wife's autismbux. you shouldn't have to clean the house alone.
>>768772955
PTSD was not treated, they thought it was unnecessary and drugged me up instead
>>768772955
Is it bad if you dont really have any morals anymore and become really fucking anti-social to the point you start avoiding your GF and family and don't say single word for days.
>>768772955
I used to get anxiety attacks a ton when I smoked weed.
After 100 days not smoking weed, not a single one.
Did overtime a ton these past 4 weeks and had an episode in the morning. Have had 2 others after that.
Now I feel fine but I feel different, a little bit.
When it happeneds. I kind of get a chub, and feel like I gotta shit.
I've read that diet and exercise can help and alcohol can bring it out. However I like to drink once or twice a week now. Not to the point of throwing up but to get pretty buzzed.
What do doc?
>>768776012
I'm white so we aren't on welfare.
>>768776248
no job, no income, mental problems? what made you marry her? doesn't seem like a sound investment for the future. it seems like you're doing all of the work in the relationship and that could lead to resentment down the line.
Im lonely and i want to die
>>768772955
Ok. I'm "gifted"(near perfect standardized tests, learn/catch on quickly, etc), but I've messed up my life by not putting it to good use. I graduated from a shitty uni with a low GPA, and want to turn my life around. I'm content doing nothing until I realize I'm wasting my potential. How do I get motivated to do what I need to do? +this probably isn't your area of expertise, but how do I begin to recover (ie. How do I go back to school with such a low GPA, is there even a point)? Ty
>>768776445
Don't cry emo duck.
>>768776395
She brings in money. Granted it is basically by scamming the government but I don't give a shit. It looks legit on paper and we don't have to sign up for the bread lines.

>>768772955
I’ve had depression for a few years now, and lately I’ve become more and more run down and tired. Some days I stay in the bed till 4, and some days I can’t even get up to get my house clean or change out of my pajamas.
I’ve talked to my therapist, but she regarded it as me being “hardheaded and lazy”, so she’s no help. I really want to feel better. I’ve told her, went through one ear out the other. I can tell she has
A distaste for me anyway, so maybe you can help. What the Fuck do I do about depression related fatigue.
>>768776485
If you're really a genius just make a plan to make money and get a hobby.
Either way fuck off I'm a lazy genius isn't a fucking problem. Either shit or piss off.
>>768776729
Middle school is a hard time. You'll get through it.
>>768772955
How do u fix thoughts with more thoughts?
>>768775494
Thank you for correcting me! I mixed them up just now. I'm silly like that.
>>768775744
I'm sorry to hear that, Anon. I think you should write down your sad thoughts, and attempt to, even forcefully, replace them with positive ones.
>>768775756
You have to continue aiding your wife but at the same time, you have to find others things you can enjoy.
>>768775757
Who?
>>768775762
No, you're not. *hugs*
>>768775843
OCD needs continuous therapy and medication. It can get quite problematic, I know.
>>768775963
It's my own answer.
>>768776445
I'll be your friend.
>>768778130
I don't have to do shit. I'll stick by if I can and want to. What I probably should do is focus more energy on finding bitches who are dtf.
>>768776729
That's a very mean thing of your therapist to say! She's doesn't sound very professional.
Depression is very real, and it's causing your fatigue and then your fatigue is causing you to feel more depression.
*hugs*
>>768778443
That's not a healthy attitude.
>>768776809
I asked how to motivate myself/ force myself to do what I have to. Not a genius, just smart. Unless you're OP, I didn't ask for your opinion.
>>768778837
I'm OP and my advice is get off 4chan and go to church. They got sluts there that will boss you around.
>>768778837
You have to focus on realizing your potential. I know you can do it. And yes, going back to school is absolutely worth iy. op here
>>768776809
Kek. You could have just ignored it or posted your own obvious issues, but you would rather get asspained instead. Stop being a shithead, it's not as if anyone is expecting an internet psychologist to actually help with their problems. Is that why you're mad? Are you actually taking this seriously? Get out more.
>>768779184
>. They got sluts there that will boss you around.

Nuh uh~ I'm OP.
>>768778753
I know. The sex part is fucking frustrating though. She was crazy horny when we met and we use to fuck around with other chicks all the time. Now I can rarely get her to starfish for me after great effort.
>>768779184
>>768779240
Hmmmm... Both of you are OP? It's fine, it seems like good advice. Is there a point in going back to school with a shitty GPA? It's not good enough to get me into a Grad school, nor do I know what I would if went back as an undergrad.
>>768779395
I can understand that. Do you think she cares for you, emotionally?
>>768779529
I don't doubt that she does at all.
>>768775291
>not a neckbeard
>anime
Sure bud
>>768779470
The second one is mine. I'm op.
And yes, I'm afraid I don't know the routes you can take education wise, but I do think pursuing it would make you happier, somewhat.
>>768779654
So she does care for you? Have you tried talking to her about your sexual life?
What's your take on the porn addiction epidemic?
>>768779962
It's very much like other addictions. We're addicted to the chemicals released in our brains when we perform a certain action. Sex, being the most carnal desires, releases much of those chemicals. But unfortunately not everyone has access to sex, but has access to porn. It's like if cocaine was free and legal, but considerably less harmful.
>>768772955
How do you find something that makes life worth living?
>>768780419
What elicits the emotion of happiness in you? Place more value in that, and strive to achieve the ability to partake in that activity more.
>>768779835
Yes she does.
I tried. She doesn't seem to understand what a sex drive is like or how frustrating it is to not have someone who wants to fuck you back. It isn't just sex but a lack of all that touchy feely shit too. Her advice is to find a girl so she doesn't have to deal with sex. Which I probably should do. It has been awhile since I had a girlfriend to relieve the issue some but I would have to dedicate time and money to it. Which could work out great but what I really want is for her to be more like she was before the health issues. Or at least a healthy version of who she is now. So I dunno.
>>768780396
Do you think it is bad thing?
>>768780524
>What elicits the emotion of happiness in you?
Hell if i know.
Anyway, thanks.

My marriage is failing due to a complete lack of intimacy. My son is the only remaining good part of my life and I want a functional marriage for his sake. When I talk to my wife about it she claims she cares about me and doesn't want to split up, but she doesn't act like she likes me at all anymore. We never kiss or touch each other at all, and have gone without sex for months. I talked to her about the sex and we had sex once as a result a few months ago but she didn't act like she enjoyed it at all. Not feeling liked or appreciated at all has turned me to drinking a lot, almost every night after my son goes to bed. She says she doesn't like it when I drink and it makes her less likely to want any intimacy even though I simply drink and then go to bed (no yelling or fighting or abuse, ever) so it seems like this cycle is self defeating. My (2) good friends I've talked to about it claim I am being abused by being told to hold on in a marriage that is with someone who doesn't feel the need or want to put any effort into it. Is that true?
>>768780565
I think if she's okay with you having a relationship like that, you should go for it. Otherwise, continue taking care of her but also take care of yourself. Your emotions are important too, okay?
>>768780585
Yes, any addiction is bad for you. But porn itself is not a bad thing, in my opinion.
>>768780637
*Hugs*
>>768781198
>*Hugs*
Thanks.
>>768780834
You're 100% being abused by her. You need to find someone who can give you the love you deserve. But at the same time, you have to stop drinking. I know it's hard, but ncentive based therapies can help you.
>>768781349
Does anything make you happy? I'm sure they must be something.
>>768772955
Alright, I'll bite. Is there a reason why I do not feel sadness, nor happiness? I don't really feel anything at all. I do not see a reason in anything and nothing matters to me. It is not an existential crisis, since I've had this for almost 10 years. I feel like it's only gonna get worse and I'll do something I will regret just so I can feel something.
Do my psych records transfer to other clinics? I’ve seen it, if I simply don’t tell them where I’ve been can they still access my records?
>>768781656
It sounds like you're suffering from melancholic depression. I know most people associate depression with profound sadness, but the lack of both happiness and sadness is a pretty big warning shot.
You should really begin some therapies like CBT.
>>768772955
Ok, ill bite. Im 28 and i have an "imaginary friend". I talk to her all the time, she calms me down when im stressed or angry. I can see her and can hear her. The thing is that she knows that she isn't real and she knows that she is probably a coping mechanism for my loneliness. Have you ever in your years had apatient with this? Is it schoziphrenia, depression, multiple personality disorder? Will medicine make her go away? Because I dont want that. She's my best friend and has helped me more than anyone in the real life ever has.
>>768781751
No, records only transfer when you want them to from my experience.
>>768781622
>Does anything make you happy?
Nothing have for quite some time. Last thing i enjoyed was learning basics of Java about half year back. But i bumped into difficult topic and stopped. I don't even know why i would bother with that shit anyway. What good is it to learn language in which you don't have anything to say?
>>768782199
It's a very odd combination of a tulpa and pretty severe psychosis. I mean...I think you should start medicating, to be honest. You need to make new friends too. They may not be able to replace her, but I'm sure she'll be happy for you.
>>768782316
I really suggest you start learning Java again. If you don't see the point in it, I'd say still go for it. It gave you happiness once, it might do it again.
>>768782387
Moved to a new city to get away from my toxic family and she is very happy for me. Been making a few friends but nothing replaces her. She is very proud of the steps that I have taken to become a better human being. And i didn't know it had a word. Through it all, she has been the backbone lol. Do you think medication will kill her? She wants to correct kill to "make her dissaapear" because she's not alive. But in my mind, kill is the exact word i want to use.
How can i partake in communion with the archetypes of the unconscious?
>>768782767
I know, i just stare at blank screen and... have no idea what to do.
Hey, thanks, i really appreciate that.
>>768782881
It just might, if you honestly see her and hear her. She's a result of psychosis, so...
Does she impair you in your life in any way?
>>768783068
*hugs* It'll get better, okay? Believe me. ^^
Anyway, I have to go now. I might be back later, but if you want to continue are session you can catch me at
[email protected]
>>768783223
No. She has never harmed me or gave me ideas to harm me. She cares about me. The only times when she would get angry or even yell at me is when I tried to kill my self. She tells me that suicide is a very very permanent solution for a very very temporary problem. Everything she has done is for my benefit.
She makes my life better.
>>768772955
hey, first of all thanks for doing this
so, to give you a little background:
im 20 years old, was in a clinic last year and got diagnosed with medium to heavy depression - actually my therapist said its a double depression but i dont know if thats a thing.
some days i barely get myself to do something, i get myself to run now and then but most of the days i barely get myself out of my flat or work. since quite a bit it all seems so tiring and without any purpose. im already taking antidepressants and most days when i dont think about it its okay but its getting alot more times where it just pulls my mood more down that i have to take them. i dont feel like i belong here, honestly, i feel like a financial burden, i cant even have fun in videogames anymore which used to give me at least some good feelings, i guess i feel more and more drawn to actual drugs just because then at least ill have something giving my alright feelings even if it destroys me. my therapist tells me it will get better but honestly...it seems like life is just shitty in general and doesnt seem to be worth it. wat do
