Most of the pills I've been on haven't worked for me.

None of them have worked actually, except for Prozac.

Let's see... I can't really remember names here, but the first pills I got were probably the worst. They stopped helping with depression after a while, and when going off of them, the withdrawal caused the worst depression I've ever experienced. So much worse than the depression the pills were originally treating.

Sometime afterwards I was on Ritilian. Some of my Psychiatrists think that I had ADD see, but my current thinks that I don't because whatever ADD meds I take don't work. Anyway Ritlian nearly made me psychotic, or something.

Then I took these pills that actually caused me to stop sleeping, for 5 days straight. I had too go off of those immediately.

Also I took these anti-depressants that actually had the side effect of making me always hungry. All the time. So, like most people taking this medicine, I gained a lot of weight.

>> No.8390728

Terrible. It's one of the main reasons on why I still keep going to bed at retarded times. I'm also sleeping "way" too long, and I've a fear it might make me lose weight (even though I am eating properly).

Why not just earlier, I had a little accident and piddled all over the floor. I hadn't done that in years, but the fact that I did it was very strange and odd

I have just come to terms with the fact that most of my life is imagined. The shitty and stunted real experiences have atrophied and have long been irrelevant.

The amount of fictional experiences in my head is approaching 99%. I don't think about who I am. I am sated. I live in a bubble with only the things I love, unchallenged, not living. I crossed a line a long time ago and now I'm paying the price.

I am severely mentally ill.

I am dying inside.

The only thing I still have is the love of certain things. My passions. I have fought tooth and nail to be able to enjoy them and that is all I want until the day I die. This is my mind. It is all I have. It is far too much like my hard drive.

Good night.

Anti-depressants have never really done anything for me. I was on Prozac for about six months until I just stopped taking it recently, because I just felt tired all day and had no emotions anymore. Now that I've stopped taking it, though, I feel more depressed and even worse than before.

Taking Agomelatine. It doesn't do anything about my depression (or whatever it is; I like to think of it as 'having lost the will to live'), but it lets me sleep. With it, I have no more nights of 'just one more minute awake means one more minute lived before having to start another shitty day'.

>I have just come to terms with the fact that most of my life is imagined. The shitty and stunted real experiences have atrophied and have long been irrelevant.
I hadn't thought of it like that, but it's really what has happened to me. I haven't _done_ anything in years. And if I get some interaction with the world, I bury it below a mountain of internal considerations, ruminations, and the like.

But aside from that, I seriously don't have much hope. These days I have been considering the possibility that I have a serious brain/psychological disfunction. Besides not wanting to do anything, that is.

Our thoughts and emotions are influenced by our brain chemistry. Sometimes, the chemical balance in our brains gets all out of whack. That's what causes mental illnesses, like depression.

Does anyone else feel the kind of loneliness where you know you will never share an experience with someone?

You don't know how pretentious you sound right now. Asides from using the term ``normalfag," you're wearing your NEET pride like a badge. You're a NEET if you are not in education, employment or training. Simple as that. There is no ``Tier 1, 2, 3´´ NEET, or whatever you're trying to make it. You can be a NEET by choice or not.

Not really depressed, I am actually glad I live in this day and age because all things considered at least I wont starve to death by being alienated. There is money coming in from the government and I am able to make small excursions to my local supermarket once or twice a week and then keep on leeching like the leech I am.

I feel like ultimately I will fail as a human being while there are many people around the world who starve to death because of draughts, poverty, abuse etc. and the only reason I'm spared is because I'm from a progressive western nation.

An awful thing to be a waste product of modern society, but I have the mental strength to stand the constant reminder of just how wrong everything about my existance is from an evulotionary point of view.

I'll admit, you made me look up the definition of NEET.

``NEET is a government acronym for people currently "not in education, employment, or training". ... People under the designation are called NEETs (or Neets).´´

``In the United Kingdom, the classification comprises people aged between 16 and 24 (some 16-year-olds are still of compulsory school age); the subgroup of NEETs aged 16–18 is frequently of particular focus. In Japan, the classification comprises people aged between 15 and 34 who are unemployed, not engaged in housework, not enrolled in school or work-related training, and not seeking work. The "NEET group" is not a uniform set of individuals.´´
