I for one welcome the emergence of the Chinese Dragon and its increasing power and might. Burgers have been the most inhumane, short sighted, barbaric, and narcissistic dominant power in the history of mankind. No one has treated the earth with such lack of compassion and no one has contributed as much to the worsening of the future of humanity than the burgers. The average amerifag has no interest about the higher things in life. They all cling to freedom without knowing that this narcissistic obsession over one's individual rights or identity is contributing to the degradation of communities and by extension to the degradation of the earth. They are all obsessed over controlling their fellow man and they have zero interest in beauty, knowledge, and culture. American cities are some of the ugliest in the world and americans themselves are obese and indolent. American "culture" celebrates violence, selfishness, and depravity. The pursuit of happiness has lead to a society that eschews self-discipline and compassion. Americans are gangsters at heart, taking advantage of everyone, even their fellow countrymen whether through crime or through exploitation. With this obsession over their own egos they have unknowingly ushered in their downfall and the rise of the Chinese dragon. Yes, the arrival of Chinese dominance cannot come soon enough. The future is looking bright.

It induces hypofrontality so your ability to make good decisions in the moment are undermined. Recognize what leads up to it. Realize there is a hormonal rebound too when you screw up.
>My tummy hurts. I'm thirsty. But we know I won't move until the last vital drops leak out or I get strong enough to masturbate one more time tonight.
This is frustration of lacking autonomy over self and the realization that you are not free so long as you are slaves to competing whims.

I used to think that all of my numerous personality faults were due to the circumstances of my life and how I was raised. Now I'm not so sure. A lot of my peers had just as hard if not more difficult childhoods than me and they are mostly functional and emotionally developed. Could it be that my behavior was the result of faulty genes? I know how that sounds, I'm not trying to deflect any responsibility or guilt from myself, I'm just trying to understand why I feel like I'm so different from people who nominally should be very similar to me. Why am I super neurotic and introspective while they aren't? It can't be environmental or we'd be the same

I don’t feel good. The depression returned. It’s different now. Then, it would loosen my muscles and lower me as deep as I could go. Now it is irritation. Knives at my feet. I feel erratic, prone to anger, prone to violence, prone to death. Before, I contemplated suicide all the time. I would imagine my death vividly. It took a leap to commit suicide. I remember looking at the knife, or rope, for long periods of time, before finally deciding on another a day. After a while, I stopped being depressed, and tried to make something of myself. I turned into a man of action. I thought I could weather any storm. This was the answer, I believed, not psychiatry, but healthy living. So now I am a man of action. After a while this was okay. I transformed my sadness into rage, and my rage into hard work and scheming. All of that has changed now. I don’t have enough rage or sadness left. There is just nothing left in me. All the food I put in my mouth turns to ashes. I do not feel nourishment or enjoyment from eating anymore. I starve myself for days just to feel nourishment when I break the fast. I did the first time I starved, but I didn’t get much out of the last few times. I lost my virginity recently and I didn’t enjoy any of it. You could suggest that I’m too focused on “me,” nothing but “me,” “me,” me,” and that’s my problem. Trust me I’ve gone down this route, as well as every other. I haven’t thought about suicide, I simply feel the urge strongly to do so.
I feel a deep obligation to go to a gun store, buy the cheapest gun there, and shoot myself right as I walk out. I don’t think about my pain when I think about this. I think about it like an errand. I think about it like I think about the stuff I need from the grocery store. It has nothing to do with my emotions now, nothing at all.

This happened a couple hours ago I still have no idea what went on:
>I'm a reverse commuter, I work in the suburbs but live in the city
>I'm waiting for my train 'home' with like thirty other people that are heading into town for the nightlife
>most of them are college students, as this is the nearest station to the school
>I'm standing near the edge of the platform (Take note of this) to get away from the crowd
>I get tapped on the shoulder
>I assume it's because I dropped something, my pass or whatever, so I turn around gently
>One of the girls from the college is standing there, stereotypical art ho and quite pretty, way out of my league
>She says "Don't do anything silly, more people care about you than you think."
>I say "excuse me"
>She sighs, "I know a broken person when I see one, just be safe" and goes back to her friends.

I'm pretty sure she thought I was going to jump in front of the train, which I have no intention of doing. This raises the question, why do I look like a "broken person" - what fucking vibe am I giving off to normies. Also I could find this girl very easily, theres a 99% chance she goes to the university and I'll probably see her around, should I follow up with her in some way?

One time a philosophy professor pulled me aside after class and told me "I had the stuff" and that I should consider a career in philosophy. It meant a lot for me to hear that, but it was a bad time for me as well. I was already a senior in a Film/TV program and I was also in the middle of a depressive episode I wouldn't leave for two years.

Since then, I was kept for a week in a psych ward against my will for suicidal ideations, didn't finish the philosophy course, barely graduated with a film degree, looked for work for 6 months, worked as an editor in San Francisco and Michigan for 6 months (the company closed their SF office, but still wanted me around), and gotten laid off after a third downsizing.

I'm now considering a return to education, I think I have the mental wherewithal to "do things right" this time. Although I'm concerned my uneven academic record will keep me from being accepted to higher-tier philosophy programs. I don't know which programs would make sense for me or if I'd be doing things for the right reasons.

I used to write stories and essays with passion, but I find myself unsure of my thoughts now. I feel like moments don't stick together and build on each other. Like it's all so much sand brushing past itself on its way to casually collect at the bottom of an hourglass.
I somehow feel that structured learning will give me growth, stimulation, and perspective. Drill the habit of study and writing back into me.

>>12569707
This genre of 'write what's on your mind' posts, which I'm sure I'm contributing to right now, leaves me stuck. I know from experience that no response will feel satisfactory yet 'no response' will feel even worse (if the relief of avoiding shame isn't stronger that is). Self-help advice or encouragement don't resonate.
Some people like >iktf but the people who respond to it the most is the people who seek validation in giving up. The 'blackpill' style of shared nihilism genuinely scares me. I don't think that's the case here, but I'm afraid that the part of me that might crave might be manifesting in my words.

I hope that it passes for you though. Selfishly, because I don't feel totally hopeless now. I need to know that if things ever get as bad as they have been in the past for me, that it can pass too.

Wrote this today when I told myself to stop trying and just write what I felt in my heart.

I remember the sadness, the violence
The fun formative years
I remember the trees and boats and sand and dark muddy beaches, fresh water and scraping my feet
I remember running through the woods at night unafraid
Brazen in the dark
It did not frighten me
Nothing frightened me
Before the “loss of innocence” the world smelt alive
Now it rarely exposes itself
The darkness seems strong
I feel it; truly I feel it, like a blanket
Who resides in the dark?
I remember everything
Fishing with my dad in old boats, catching fish at dawn
The sky purple, stars disappearing
Light years, I often whimper at that thought
If I go far enough into the void I’d see myself dead already
I was not afraid to go then
But the void frightens me now
Perhaps it’s because I’m afraid to lose you
I remember walking home with you
I felt my heart patter
An old watch creaking anew
Years in the brood
The dread escaped me once again
I felt protected
I felt alive
I smelt the air, the earth, the life surrounding us
I was no longer afraid to disappear
Not because oblivion didn’t face me
I had forgotten it in your presence
I knew I had done something good

I knew that I had truly loved.

I just remembered a story I heard from my sister that she heard from her art teacher. It's a great story, which I'm sure I'll butcher on it's third layer of telephone.

>Back when he was a student in New York an old woman in a big, expensive coat walked up to him and his friend
>"I'm interested in you. give me your number"
>For some reason he wrote it down for her.
>After she leaves, he says something like "What was that about?"
>"Don't you know? That's the matchmaker!"
>Her husband is super rich so she spends all her time setting people up. Apparently everyone she's set up has ended up getting married.
>A few months pass before she calls.
>Meet us at X restaurant at 7:30
>The woman she set him up with is a pretty Hungarian woman about his age.
>The Matchmaker insists on being there for the dinner.
>For some reason they are only allowed to talk through the matchmaker. As in, asking her a question to pass on and getting the answer from her.
>After dinner the Matchmaker pulls him aside
>"Sometimes these things don't work out. She told me she's not really interested in you. I'm sorry.
>A few days pass. He must have exchange information with the Hungarian girl because he decides to call her anyways.
>"I heard from the Matchmaker that you weren't interested, but I think we should try again. Just us."
>"I appreciate it, but I really would prefer not to."
>"That's okay! If you change your mind, I'll probably be riding my motorcycle up and down X Avenue. Just flag me down."
>"Motorcycle?"

There's always the chance she might be projecting the latest TV/movie/book character she came across onto you. Young people tend to do that. The fact that out of everyone, you were the odd one out standing close to the edge of the platform makes it a whole lot easier for an emotional teen's imagination to run wild. Or she might just be doing art hoe 'performance art' for her own amusement. Or you might actually be projecting the image of a man who's about to commit suicide at any given second. Anyways, if you see her again, approach her with 'Managed to not do anything silly so far' and then see where it goes and express your surprise at her assumptions.

The depression is always different, I find. It's always changing in a way that makes it seem worse than it used to be. When I was a teenager I would lie in bed all day, contemplating pseudo-existential things that would sometimes reduce me to tears. Then I was medicated for about three years, during which time I managed to turn things around quite dramatically, but of course I was still wanting more. I started to fetishize the way I used to be bedridden by "big thoughts" so I stopped taking the meds, only I wasn't met by a powerful depression. All that came back to me was overwhelming anxiety that eventually turned into the kinds of OCD symptoms I hadn't experienced since I was a child. I tried to suppress those symptoms with alcohol initially, and later on I started to take prescription stimulants so I could be functional a couple times a week. Eventually that alienated everyone around me, and my flatmate/closest friend chose not to find another place with me when our old place became infested with bedbugs. I was more depressed than anxious by that point.

Not long after moving into my new apartment on my own, the isolation caused me to lose the ability to empathize with other people properly, which somehow led to me losing the ability to cry. I feel like losing the ability to cry is a distinct level of depression that's infinitely harder to recover from. It's also harder to get any sympathy for that kind of depression because you're not really interested in moping around since you're unable to feel sorry for yourself.

Being depleted of rage feels like falling off, like I can feel my testicles getting lazier by the minute. Towards the end my anger was so confused and misdirected that the only way I could express it was by punching myself in the head. One day, about eight months ago, I got drunk and angry then hit myself in the head, hard-enough that my jaw didn't feel right for a week.So I stopped for a while but I caught myself doing it again the other day. The violence seems like the natural alternative to crying. Sometimes I wonder if this is the mindset of men who beat their wives. Maybe if all those men could cry, they wouldn't feel the need to do it.

Somehow I managed to hold onto a massive ego throughout all that time, but my former psychiatrist (also psychoanalyst) managed to dissuade me of my narcissism, then I dumped her before she had the chance to build me back up again. Like you, I'd really like it if my existence would just end. I'm pretty sure I don't have it in me to go through with a suicide though.

Shitting yourself is the ultimate act of rebellion in an unjust world. The masses have a duty to shit themselves in protest of the stark iniquities visited upon them by fate. Self-shitting is a profound statement of defiance against oppressive strictures and white male hierarchies . Because soceity's first method for controlling one begins in childhood though the oppressive imposition of hygiene on the otherwise free lad. By regulating the state of one's body one is led to initiate --to train oneself-- to be regulated in the broader scheme of society's triggering web of control.

To shit yourself is to throw off those shackles and to revert to a primal stage of liberation characterized by the idyl of infancy, in which total Stirner-esque ego emancipation was the only law. Years and years of oppressive social programming shed and drop away the moment you willfully shit your self.

After 4 years of grueling depression, my life has improved substantially and I'm actually looking forward to the future. This was all possible because I realized certain things:
- having a caring and loving family is important and they have supported me immensely
- watching the news will make you miserable and angry, on top of trying to indoctrinate you
- you don't need a gf or wife to be happy, society has convinced you since that without one you aren't completely/cannot be happy, which is bullshit
- dwelling on the suffering of the past is necessary, up to a point. It's unhealthy to keep thinking about things that happened long ago so obsessively
- there is no shame in being a virgin

Maturity is a flight from melodrama - I am thinking by waiting for words to arise in mind, but who is the speaker of the words - I understand better as I have before but who is the teacher - honesty is the narrow gate - is it possible to be completely honest without falling into the purest and most mysterious skepticism - is the answer to that mysterious skepticism this, that the greatest idea is that which subsumes the other. that is to say, explains the other ideas - or is that state of skepticism the doorway out of the platonic cave, and the philosopher is the one who communicates the outside world to the imprisoned population - we are all in prison and only a few of us know what to do - can we be honest please, does anyone know what is going on? What's going on? What's going on? - who would be the man who has the greatest understanding, who has knowledge of the essence of understanding, who can be the standard of measurement which reveals the honesty of animals. A sort of object of truth. A philosophers stone. The form of man represented by artificial intelligence? By a living mans understanding? By Kant? - my Lamentations.. why must the standard be outside myself? Thought says that to follow the guidelines of idea is what it is to be conditioned by the outside world. Or created by an idea. But what else can be used to create this animal but ideas? Is idea really "intelligent intent?" Is there some greater tool than idea that can be used to condition this animal towards wisdom or is wisdom the idea that shackles me to the cold cave floor, what if I were to free myself from the bonds of the question and pondering and persuing of the idea of wisdom, then what, what would this animal do?.. Survive. Like it does. So is the question of the correctness of our very survival helpful(wisdom).. is survival really the end? Man is the jewel of the universe whose movement and breath is towards complexity. We are then caretakers of the valuables, a carrot who helps tend the garden. Are we farmed, or is the paranoia of that "greater intelligence" the tone of ones own mind. It's feeling. The feeling of being alive is like a vibration. If the secret to the mystery, the knowledge of the thing-in-itself, is that the most useful representation of the relationship between man and the universe is that of the microcosm and macrocosm (that the all contained within the limitations of understanding have their metaphysical relationship)! And that it is a mistake to differentiate if tone of ones own micro existence with that of the macro. They are the same tone.

Quit my depression meds cold turkey last night. They weren't helping and kept me from future opportunities. Feel stuck and out of place, the people around me think they have my best interests in mind but they actually don't. There's no future for me here. In six months I'll be past the period of being off of meds before an army recruiter will even talk to me. I hate violence and war, but it's a warm bed, free food, and an opportunity to be financially independent. Might as well put three years in and head to college afterwards. My parents will disown me for leaving the commune and will hold my relationships with my child cousins as a playing chip. I do not blame them, they've had their whole lives controlled by a narcissist pastor, they're just emulating him. He got then out of a white trash lifestyle and put them in an isolationist, tribalist cult. He's going to die soon and no one can believe it, the world didn't end like he predicted. Good riddance, he's the only person I've ever met I would consider actually, irredeemably evil. Life is hard enough without all of the drama people needlessly cause for themselves, I just want to be done with it.

Discussion about Jarron Bloshinsky, otherwise known as "Jazz Jennings," the subject of the popular TLC docuseries on his life as a transgendered person perfectly encapsulates the destruction of society as we know it. It's grotesque displays of self-mutilation, fueled by narcissistic parents seeking a bizarre pleasure or other-worldly goal, are almost perfect in terms of raw analogy for their representation of the mutilation of man, nay, the reduction of a man into a commodity in his own right. The pure destruction displayed, the self-mutilation, is similar of the pains one must go through daily in their pathetic, increasingly atomised life just to subsist. The chopping of the cock reminds one of the generation of weak men who feast on onions and honey whilst the women they should be courting frolick the fields of the sensual like the buffalo on the plain. The individual here has been reduced to a mere consumer, not a producer. A worker, not a thinker. An unfree man, not a free one. For too long, these developments have rendered man to be a cog in a machine in which he has no say or control over, increasingly so, exponentially as well. Seeing the boy on the TV screen makes one sick - Not because of the demented will of the parents and the delusions of the child - But because that "family" is just like yours. You rarely see them, you're blocked by monetary necessity to never engage with them, and when times are rough, you may find solace in their hand, but it is never permanent. The individual here, instead of facing the reality, chops of their cock and mutilates themselves daily in an endless grind until the ashes of their corpse are shut in an urn for all eternity. This alienation shant be permanent, but the skies above us remain gray with little hope of clearing. The destruction of a man only continues.

MDMA trip last morning was good but it went by too quick for me to get all the psychotherapy I needed to do. The ideal way to do therapeutic MDMA is to take 2g of shrooms and take the MDMA 3 hours later. The shrooms unearth everything you need to deal with and by the time you take the MDMA you're ready to smash through everything. Shrooms also extend the peak of MDMA by a lot.

"I can honestly say I do not feel the same, but can also say that this lack of affection is not caused by any malice toward you. None of the friendly attachments that I developed at the age in which our friendship transpired have endured. This might be a vicious sort of inconstancy, but a quality I do not believe I should forcefully try to correct, especially not by counterfeiting a fondness and attachment that I have not retained. However, as I can not imagine any selfish desire that might have been your motive in contacting me, or in declaring your feelings in such an openhearted manner, I consider as admirable the benevolence you possess and have evinced by revealing such kindhearted feelings based on the strong friendship that we once had, and I feel regret and a lingering sense of shame that I can not reciprocate them."

I have to move on from being depressed. I still am, you know, but it's like 4 years later and I'm still recoiling from it. I'm back in college, yeah - that's really good - but I'm not growing as a person. All of my projects go nowhere. I do enough work to get by and not a single bit more. I listen to the same music all the time, even though I used to live just for my love of it. I avoid /mu/ on reflex for this reason - it's like visiting a painful part of my past there, disconnected from a thing that felt so real, and I don't know what to do. But I know I can do better than this. I can move forward, even if I'm moving in the dark.

Here's my idea. I start serious work to make my prototype shoot-em-up into an actual game. I start showing up to the Smash locals at my uni to potentially make some acquaintances and improve at something. I stop shying away from new music and accept that things won't be like they used to, but I'll still get something out of it. I hate to make posts like these, because it says: Will I? And the answer is, maybe. I want to listen to new music. I plan on going to the Smash locals this Tuesday. It's not some vague idea - I'm moving forward - but there are still forces out there that keep me in place, so I don't know what I'll run into. I just hope I don't stay like this forever.

Realized that I'm completely indifferent to women when I'm not horny. They can't offer compelling conversation or fulfilling friendship. They are nice to look at and have pretty voices, but beyond sex or aesthetics, they really have nothing to offer. And even that is fading for me. I'm not as attracted to women as I used to be, I'm not really horny at all nowadays, and if I am, I'm much more aroused by fembois or twinks. Natal females just can't compete with the level of sexiness they exude. I guess I'll get married to a woman eventually to have kids, but I don't know if the relationship will ever be more than transactional. The Greeks were definitely on to something with institutionalized homosexuality. Feels weird to write off half of all humans

Today's one of the first days in a few weeks I've felt relaxed, although my hands are a little jittery from the coffee. I'm aware my body wants to work out, so that will probably shake out those (jitters) and give me time to listen to some music or perhaps Alt Hypo. While I'm not entirely happy or satisfied with the fact I may have to stick with my current job, (I had made it a goal to leave by March) I do recognize the benefits from said job - mainly being money and keeping me active, although I'm having a hard time keeping my weight up/maintained. I can only hope my enthusiasm for a more engaging career path continues throughout this year, and into the next as I go back for a degree.

Your finances are good, you checked them all yesterday, so when and if another job presents itself you know what kind of pay cut is manageable while still maintaining some saving goals. You need to shop for groceries and so a list must be made sometime tonight as it is snowing quite badly until tomorrow. You should probably read a chapter from Shadow & Claw tonight rather than more philosophy, can't overwhelm the mind with lessons of the mind. Don't forget to stop by the doctor tomorrow, and also, if it's not too much, head to the book store and just to peruse.

That's all. We're okay. We'll get through this year, these first two months are simply stretched out because we realize this is the last year of infancy, that the second half of 2020 will mark the rest of our life. We can only hope for the best, and prepare for the worst. We are closer with our family, we have a girlfriend, we know what needs to be done. We're aware it's going to be difficult maintaining our composure, chi, cool, at work, but it's worth it. We can do this.

My fog - if you'll permit me the ownership - my fog tends to roll in through the dead, blackened limbs of the winter oaks without any heed for us in the dirt.

That mournful woman, filled with sorrow from dawn to dusk until her appointed time rolls in from the fog.

Several posters have mentioned girlfriends and I will echo the sentiment that having one is not some magical cure for everything you don't like about yourself. I had a girlfriend for like a year and I was never more anxious and depressed. The sad part is that this was not the fault of the girl I was dating but my hubris in thinking I could improve myself through the act of being in a relationship like a "normal" person.

I've literally always been liked by everybody I've ever met. Never had enemies or bullies, but also never had many close friends. Other guys wouldn't try to dominate me, the dominated didn't see me as a peer, just kind of existed in a limbo. I used to actually crave the teenage drama shit and 'talking behind your back' stuff because it felt novel in the rare instances it happened in my life. I could converse with everyone and make them feel good but never went beyond that. Never demanded anything emotionally from people.

This is the first time I've heard something called "flow energy" in social situations. Especially as something not-typical.

I sometimes leave things unsaid because I feel it'll stick out like a wrong note in an orchestra. I may have even used the word flow describe the thing I'm responding to. Sometimes I get frustrated because I feel like other people are more readily in that flow and adept at channeling it

I don't know if what I'm imagining is the same thing as what you tried to describe. Is there anything I can read about this?

I do sometimes wonder if I am in too deep in my own delusion, and I do question a lot if I am thinking clearly. But that comes more from you than it does for me

I do try hard to look after myself, and I think am capable of thinking clearly when I need to but when you keep insisting I’m not looking out for myself I’d rather not bring up these types of conversations again

I want to be able to express myself freely without thinking how do I get off this ride when you get started. I need to be heard to be understood, not heard to be judged.

It feels like at least once or twice a day I'll see a really beautiful girl, walking past me or maybe on the bus. Then you need to play the game, where they're so beautiful but you can't look too long because starring at them is creepy- especially when you're an ugly man like me- but you can scarcely look away. It's like asking a man not to stare at an amazing vista or painting. You catch as many glances as possible without coming across as creepy. If it's happening on the bus, it always ends the same way. She's getting off before you, and you allow yourself to look at her until she's out of sight because fuck it, you will never see each other again.

Why there must be an afterlife, a reward for good actions and punish for bad actions you do in life, to guide the way you act
There is no point on proving or refuting the existance of God, mythology and religion is a product of mankind's imagination and ideas. However there are certain things, esoteric things, spiritualism that has no logic explanation. There are things beyond our lifes and understanding, we dont know them and we make guesses of what it is.

etc.

There are only five people on this earth who are consistently aware of my existence and I only ever talk to one of them at least once a week due to circumstance. I experience life vicariously through media consumption and online stalking. At this point I feel like it would be far more rewarding and interesting to become a complete and utter nobody than it would be to try and become someone.
I'm writing a story but the likelihood of anyone actually reading it is very low and honestly I stopped caring about that long ago.

The girl in my uni class. When I found out she wasn’t single, I was devastated, but not for long. I was happy that she seems happy, and I was ready to move on, although I couldn’t force myself to care about anyone else. She sat 3 seats away for the first few weeks, by the wall. On Friday she was 2 seats away, and today she sat right next to me. She was mimicking my body language, glancing over some, and laughing at my jokes. I know we’d probably make a good couple, but if it can’t be then I just want to move on. It looks like her relationship is pretty new, and there’s no evidence that she’s been with anyone else, besides a dorky prom date years ago. This guy she’s with is a little older and has a young son, apparently. She’s an angel for accepting that baggage, but I’m kind of wondering if she’s getting cold feet. I wouldn’t blame her. She doesn’t know that I know, so maybe I’ll just pretend I don’t.

Pretend you dont know about her life, carry on normally and get her friendship
If she tells you she's in a relationship but doesnt really want it, you maybe can trust her and get on it
If she makes advances and tries to get intimate with you not telling she is in another relationship, with a man that has a son nonetheless, then I'd advice against going with her, she sounds like a succubus.

Or if you dont really give a shit about morals, fuck her and then dump her.

Yeah I get what you are saying. There isn't really any *democracy* to be disappointed in, once the population gets too large, you might as well not have any say. (Modernist) fascism isn't as interesting to me as much as something like organic integeralism is, neofeudalism actually makes a bit of sense if you accept that large scale democracy is a sham. If you don't have the kind of say that matters, you should at least want the person telling you what to do / responsible for you politically, to be as competent as possible. The 21st century will be the century of competing fascism's: Chinese fascism, European fascism, Islamic fascism, Latin fascism, corporate fascism, we'll see which one wins in this post liberal era

I would have this recurring dream when I was a child where I would wake up, tucked under the covers of my bed, in a large room with a dome roof which was held up by ancient pillars. The dome was always decorated with the constellations, of the suns and stars and moons and the impressions of angels. This picture would spin and turn, as though mechanically, or according to some sort of plan. Sometimes it would move so fast that I would feel dizzy. Sometimes it would hardly move at all and I would grow bored of it and go back to sleep. Other times I would get out of my bed and walk around this unending room, in my small children’s pajamas upon the colorful marble floor. I was always afraid to leave, but also happy and excited to explore this chamber which I knew held wonderful things. Sometimes, if I encountered sand which had sept through the marble’s tiles, I would see encrusted goblets made of silver, or strange glass orbs that seemed to illuminate from something within them. Sometimes I would encounter clear streams of spring water that I bathed in and drink from. There would be large trees surrounded by fields of exotic flowers and tall grass.
Sometimes I would walk and walk until I was tired, and I would collapse onto the marble ground, or onto the grass, or into the stream. I would wish to be back in my own bed, in my home, with my things, looking through the window glass that saw over my town and towards the ocean horizon. I would turn around and begin racing back to my bed so that I may sleep and awake at home, but, running as I did, I couldn’t reach my bed which had landed me here.This would make me sad, and I would cry out for help, for solace and rescue. And I would wake up, in my real bed, screaming.

As time went on I began to hate this dream, refusing even to sleep so to stay in my real home and not the chamber. But, being a child, I wasn’t so strong and couldn’t resist the urge of sleep. My parents would find me asleep at the window, having stared out at the waters for their night’s illuminations, and for the midnight ships I once wished to be sailing. Now when I awoke in the marble chamber I was filled with fear, and would bury myself deeper and deeper beneath my dreamt covers. But never could I force myself back to sleep, or, rather, awake. No matter how tightly I would shut my eyes, I could always see the bright constellations above, as though I hadn’t closed them at all, and as though they were right in front of me. The movements of the celestial display changed radically: now smooth, now convulsive, now gradual and tense, like hunting leopards arching and curling themselves before finally poncing. But, unlike jungle cats, the scene never unleashed itself upon me; it would only continue unabated. I was left staring immobilized at the whirling architecture of the comets, spheres, and orbital paths lined with golden string. These nights would fill me up with an emotion somewhere between anguish and ecstasy. A rapturous sensation that made me feel as though I were about to melt away into pure electricity. It was a violence. It was rapture and woe.

What the actual fuck.

Psychology student here.

This women doesn't have a Ph.D. 100% guaranteed.

She should not be doing what she does and definitely could get fired right away if what she told you come to the ears of her association.

If a psychologist gives a diagnostic to a person, it will be after a long period of consultation with the patient and because the psychologist thinks it might help with the treatment.

What is even more frustrating is that autism is a very complex mental illness and only with the proper tests and assessments specialists will come to this diagnostic.

That said, going to your university counselor what a nice step anon. Unfortunately, the person you met is plain stupid. The next good move would be to find a real psychologist, maybe there is one a your uni. If not, depending on where you live, you may be able to get access to one from the public service at lower cost. Maybe your uni offer health insurance plan, that could be an option too. Or from your parents' insurance (idk your age). Last option is private psychologist. You can also try to find a hotline and try to get information. If you ever feel like committing suicide, please talk about this with your family, or call a hotline as soon as possible.

Last note, having autism should never be seen pejoratively. Many great minds had autism.

Good luck anon.

But in the last year, I've started realizing that a lot of what I'm doing doesn't make me happy. I think it's that as I get older, there are fewer avenues of life I could conceivably go down, so now I'm looking back and realizing that working hard in school and trying to be a good person hasn't gotten me everything I ever dreamed of.

Thank you anon.
As you and a couple of other posters suspected, she came from a nursing background and my university is stretched for funding regarding mental health resources - I had a 3 month wait even for that car crash meeting.

Looking back on it, I think she had made her mind up from early on that I was a sperg as she asked me questions like "would you describe yourself as eccentric?" which weren't really relevant to the problem I had come to her with.

Following that meeting I've been trying to think about it logically. I probably do have autism qualities, in fact I regularly joke about it to my friends. My opinions can be extreme, and I do have a considerable amount of knowledge about indie music.
I hate the idea that I can't just be 'a guy who's depressed', that I have to be 'an autistic guy who can't handle his thoughts'. It's so invalidating.

Emotionally however, I've been fucked up since it happened. It's my one big insecurity, and when I think about it I get close to crying.
I try pretty hard not to be autistic.

I meet a girl that looks like Emma Stone at a job conference last week and we've been texting back and forth ever since. According to my friends this might actually be the first girl I get with since she appears to have her own brand of autism. She lives in another city, but I'll probably invite her up for spring break since my current friends in the area are going to be moving away soon.

It's an odd sensation. She is undeniably really hot, to the point were she feels out of my league, even though most of my bros rate me as a 8/10 when I'm not sperging. This subconscious feeling that nothing will come of this strangely gives me the confidence to not give a shit which in turn puts me in her league. But I feel like I'm flirting/getting to know her for practice/ego boost more than anything. From what I gathered so far, I'm not entirely sure if she's my type or not, I just want to feel comfortable flirting with a really objectively hot girl so I can get a, I don't know what kind of girl.

Reddit and a cam site showed me pictures and videos of my friends and family members naked and engaged in sex. I saw a friend on the street I hadn't seen in years, and then I'm seeing them online naked for the first time. This is been ongoing. As though it were an organized effort to atomise me further or to test my sexual response to see whether I could be swayed for whatever reason. The persistence of it suggests to me that I am doing something right and therefore I must continue aggravating whatever group wants me to be disestablished. the entire process of using stolen videos and pictures of your friends and family to change how people in the community see them as well as how I see them, is without a doubt a symptom of childhood trauma in a professional such as a doctor or lawyer or politician. I suspect that whoever is doing this is also doing this on a mass scale. It requires so much technical knowhow that I have reason to believe that only a large tech firm could achieve it. Considering what I know about tech companies, I have no doubt in my mind that what I was writing about before this all happened has caused to this occur. I have no recourse, because the pictures and videos come and go, just as I am sure there are some of me being used to change the opinions of others around me in order to isolate me. As a citizen of a small country, I have no recourse for calling out the abuses of privacy of international companies who do not abide by the sovereignty of my country.

The depths, I found, found in you was found in me
But the depths, so far, were far for we.

I am lost. I am alone, I am free so...

For all the things that have been brought upon me, will be paid in full by you

bong here. it is a fairly complex mess, the entire leave campaign was created to placate a sub-sect of conservative voters with the assumption that it would not pass (it technically wasn't even a legally binding vote). the prime minster immediately stepped down because of this unexpected result, and the main proponent of the leave campaign, Farage, who had spent the duration of the vote spouting objectively false statements, moved to the US.

the heads of the two main parties, Corbyn (remain) and May (leave) are actually speaking purely on behalf of their voters. corbyn is a known eurosceptic and may was a remain voter, so the populous is having to rely on figureheads that are showing only the most tepid attempts of political action.

all of the actual issues stopping brexit from moving ahead are border related, and the talking points of immigration and the NHS are only harmed by the proposed brexit deals, so even the leave voters are going to be left in a worse off position if this actually passes. nobody is happy, the EU is staunch in its position that the UK is making a mess of things and is trying not to budge on the deadline, but for the UK to retract its decision would be seen as a mockery of democracy.

it's all very stupid

What he said. Also, don't worry about it. Just do your best job, take it slow, and try understanding everything. Perfect everything, at your own pace. And fear of incompetence will go away. It only appears in situations such as yours, when you expect something you've defined wrongly based on stupid presumptions and are left disappointed because of that.
