I need some advice.
I've been having depressions for quite a while now and really consider killing myself. But before I do that, I thought I would try therapy first.

So, is there anything I should look for when choosing my therapist?

The best feeling in the world isn't to hold a bag of money, to play the best games, watch your favorite anime.

The best feeling is to wake up in the morning next to the person you love in the same bed and that she loves you , or to meet up with a friend and have a drink and talk about funny shit or daily life.

God, fuck off you retards. Depression can be serious shit.

OP, if your depression if anything remotely as serious as I think it is, you have two ways of dealing with it.

One is to break the habit that got you into your depressed lifestyle; being a lonely NEET with no goals and nothing to do with your life is bound to make you insane. I've been there. If you think you can do something about it on your own, like getting a job that makes you happy or something else that drastically changes your lifestyle, go for it. I just do not recommend seeking for a relationship as a way to heal yourself. Depending on your personality, it can even work to an extent, but it's far too much of a gamble. I don't think that last one is a problem for /jp/, so I won't elaborate on it.

If you can't do anything about it, or at least you think you can't, you can probably start with any run-of-the-mill shrink that happens to be easily accessible, say, like a college shrink or something. I don't know how it is in the US, maybe the reaction of any idiot with a psychology degree there is to stuff you full of meds, but at least here, those people will just try to asset how serious your case is and then recommend someone "serious" if they feel you actually need an expert.

Good luck, OP. Please don't give up. As someone who considered suicide for a long time and then saw a close family member commit suicide after that, there's nothing glorious or romantic about it.

Like it wasn't obvious enough, do not listen to that idiotic tripfag. I didn't elaborate on that because you probably aren't going to try, but seriously, do not attempt to get into a relationship just to "feel better" without at least taking serious steps to fix yourself before.

Getting into a relationship depressed is just asking for trouble, you are not ready for starting one until you're AT LEAST the process of fixing whatever's wrong with you, to attempt so is highly dangerous and you can seriously hurt yourself and/or other people in the process.

>being a lonely NEET with no goals and nothing to do with your life is bound to make you insane.

This is such bullshit. I've been NEET for up to five years at a time and not once have I ever questioned my sanity, let alone my contentness or quality of life. I recently quit a job as a matter of fact, after realizing it made me feel down. I worked there for a week. Now that I'm NEET again I can tell that I've become the cheerful and easygoing person that I used to be. It's all about the person. For people who don't like being alone, the people who desire to be around other people but for some reason can't, well that sucks for you. That's your problem though. For people that love being alone, a NEET lifestyle is the best thing you could ask for. I've got no job, no education, no friends, no nothing. That nothingness is very reassuring in a way that you know that if there is something you want to do, you could do it and no one or anything will stop you. That's how I look at my life. If there's something I want, I find a way to get it.

This. It happens too often that people try to force their definition of happiness onto you. I have not left my house for 5 to 6 years and have not once felt lonely or unhappy, yet people assume that I'm depressed and desperately need therapy. I like how I can be myself while socializing online, whereas in the real world I feel like I'm obliged to play one big game of pretend.

You can't understand it because you're not depressed. Depressed people can try to justify it as "life has no meaning, so killing yourself is irrelevant," but the fact is, a mentally healthy person won't even consider doing that.

When a person wants to kill themselves, no matter how they try to look at it in a rational way, that fact alone is enough to say there's something wrong with their mental health. Humans are designed to want to live no matter what, and that's how we act unless there's something wrong with us.

Except that no one kills themselves out of apathy. Just having no reason to live is far from enough to motivate people to kill themselves. What I find stupid is when people use suicide as a comfort, thinking to themselves that no matter how bad things get, there's always a way out, so it's not that bad. In reality, these people won't have the guts even when their lives go to complete shit. When they get to the point where they promised to kill themselves, and actually have to confront the idea directly, they either end up realizing they can't do it and regret letting their lives go to shit because they were planning to die anyway, or they keep putting it off, making up some excuse for not being able to do it right now, but promising to definitely do it in a few years.

Either way, all they do is make themselves more miserable while fooling themselves into thinking it's not that bad since suicide is always an option.

Treating this is a general life advice thread, I was wondering, how viable would it be to get a job that allows you to work from home and move to a place where you can have a really good living standard for a really low price, like the Philippines, and just taking it easy for the rest of your life with minimal effort to pay for rent and food, and technically never needing to leave your house?

It's done online through a broker. Basically what you're doing is betting if the currency will go up or if it will go down. For each $0.0001 change in the USD, you will profit or loss depending on how much you put down.

I have a very silly goal. I live in Australia and our banks generally give 6%ish return on term deposits, so I'm trying to drag myself out of the house and find a low-paying job so I can start saving. I figure at 6% return, if I had a large enough principal amount then I could just live off the interest. Something like 500k would give $30k/year pre-tax and whatever I don't use (most of it, going to live with parents for ages) will be reinvested back in. Granted it'd take me until I am 40-45 if I'm lucky to pull this off, that and I still have to work through my huge anxiety and getting out-of-the-house problem first.

My father get's paid a six digit salary, and has for about a decade. Before that, he was making between 45K and 80K. He is now in his early 50s with two mortgages on his house and almost no money to his name because he pisses away his money on expensive cars, animals (no I'm not kidding, he buys horses, sheep, goats, etc. just for the fun of it), expensive computers that he doesn't really use, expensive ass furniture (again, I'm not kidding)....etc. etc.

OP, I bet you don't get enough exercise. Exercise is a great help in the war on depression. It is one of the best things you can do. Go outside NOW and get some, in the sun if possible. Make sure to get 30 minutes of sun without sunscreen each day.

If you're worried about people seeing you exercising, don't be. We don't care. When I see a fat guy getting some exercise, I think to myself: good for him, he's working to change himself.

Yea, doing the same nothing over and over will do that to you.

I've been a NEET for about 2 years. In that time I've gone from a cynical but somewhat hopeful introvert who thought that he might be able to find some sort of companionship eventually if he really tried hard enough, and who believed in general in a loose sense of secular ethics...to....a nihilistic hedonist who hates everyone he meets (although he doesn't meet many people) before they even say two words to him.

In short, doing nothing all day and every day isn't good for you. It doesn't matter what stupid shit you decide to do everyday, just make something of it, and I don't even mean "something" as in "something meaningful" because even that isn't really necessary. Just....do....something.....

Yes but depression is being dead inside more or less, without hope. Or at lead hope may not easy to conceptualize. So one can't just get enthusiastic to go and do exercise and get therapy and get happy from the beauty of the world. It just doesn't work that way.

Honestly, to have a concept of beauty in the world, in the most profound of ways, is to have a total crisis of personality and come close to obliterating your "self." Plenty of ways to do this.

Join a Foreign army to start a new life OP. You have access to weapons in case you ever want to kill yourself or go on a rampage later on too. French Foreign legion would be the easiest to get into. You could try the Spanish legion, although they're extremely picky, you'd need to be from a Latin American country for them to even consider you I hear. It's much nicer on the Spanish side though.

The only thing you need to worry about would be big black cunts from north Africa thinking they can fuck with you; but FFL is heavy on camaraderie, so I'll doubt even the most socially awkward of people would have any trouble. Most of the rumors you hear about them are just romanticist rubbish.

I don't see why joining any kind of armed forces would do you any good. If you still long back to any part of your old lifestyle, it will be a nightmare, I can tell you that from experience. But even if you're completely willing to give it all up and turn your mind into steel so you can succeed in the training, what good would it really do? How is it going to improve the quality of your life and make you happy just because you did exactly what you've objected to doing your whole life?
