Man I'm going through that right now
I just don't really feel like playing anything but at the same time I'm lazy and for someone reason I feel like I'm obligated to play video
qrd?
Give people 10 billion options and they're going to be stuck with choice paralysis and "I guess I'll go with this, it sounds good" vs. just jumping to 1 of 3 options without much deliberation.
I've been having these strange headaches lately, i think i might be dying. Whenever I want to play a game i just get depressed thinking about it.
Stop buying games on sale.
So you want me to buy full price games?
Just pick one, install it, and set steam to only show your installed games.
I'm just taking it slow these days and playing one thing at a time when I really want to, not because have to. I've played everything here except Arkham Knight. You don't have to buy vidya, you don't have to play vidya 🙂
There's something strangely comfy about a concise steam library. I'm almost jealous in a way.
Thanks. I didn't really go out of my way to make it clean other than hiding games that would have come in bundles. I have no interest in ever playing Bioshock 2 remastered or tf classic, so I just hide them.
>have no game on steam
>ponder which one should i buy
>end up buying nothing
digital storefronts ruined vidya
the magic of buying vidya and bringing it home is lost because of it
I wish there were still physical pc games in stores
i've already experienced that. it was cool, but now it's time for other experiences.
yeah now it's time for shittier experiences
>physical pc games in stores
forget it, now you don't even get normal box for pc releases
it's so over
>spend 60 dollars plus tax on video game
>just watch random YouTube videos and aimlessly browse Ganker on my phone instead of playing it
please god help me
i just play the ones im good at, simple as
I have depression and anhedonia for 10 years already
I just jacked off just to feel anything
I want to play videogames, but why would I play them
for what fricking reason
same
i know how you feel, wish my depression allowed me to enjoy video games at least. i remember being able to play 12+ hours and not even bat an eye on the clock.
>pirate game
>have a blast for a couple of hours
>"alright frick i'll just buy"
>buy it
>never play it again.
my doctor recommended me to a therapist
what should I expect
they can save your fricking life
lots of people go to a therapist expecting just blabbering they already know
they realize they were wrong and therapy is really useful
I think he recommended me a girl therapist instead of a male one, is that something I should be concerned about?
I literally don't know anything about therapy I just laid out my mental problems I've never had addressed when I first saw him and basically said I was clueless and wanted to be pointed in the right direction
>I think he recommended me a girl therapist instead of a male one, is that something I should be concerned about?
not at all
>I literally don't know anything about therapy I just laid out my mental problems I've never had addressed when I first saw him and basically said I was clueless and wanted to be pointed in the right direction
they'll first ask questions about your life
what do you do, how do you feel, stuff about your parents (this is usually super important and you will spend time talking about this)
they also explain how the brain works (that's actually cool, for example when you face a situation, it goes through several filters in your brain. When it's something coming from your parents, your brain know it's coming from them and it bypasses every filter)
also, you may not feel a connection to your therapist and you may need to find another one
there are several types of therapy, and every therapist is different
the first step is the hardest one and you just did it, congrats anon
>parents
living with and being dependent on my abusive parents is literally the main source of my problems
they would have to drive me to my therapy appointments
then expect years of therapy
don't be afraid of opening up, and also don't be afraid of not being able to open up at first
just chill
How do you find a therapist that isn't crazy?
I don't know, I haven't heard about crazy therapists where I live
did someone tell you something about crazy therapists?
> they could offer short term
what
>I don't know what that means
who did you contact?
usually you contact with a therapist and you go to their session as long as you need it (some people are so mindbroken they need to go there forever)
if you're suicidal or in extreme suffering, they usually go for one session per week
if you're just in need of help, I'd say twice per month
if you're good and you're going to therapy just for "maintenance", one session a month or even less is okay
they messaged me through the doctor portal or whatever, it's all centralized
that's literally just what they told me, that they could offer "short-term (12 sessions)"
it might be because I'm on medicaid or something I don't fricking know
maybe I was too conservative on my answers to the depression screening or whatever
I asked for clarification and if my current insurance would cover that and they also said in the message I was responding to they could set up the appointment for me
I don't know how medical insurance works on america, but you could ask your therapist if you could extend your sessions if you feel like you need more
if they aren't able to do that they may direct you to someone who might be able
if you go twice per month, that's six months of therapy
I'm p sure you will feel lots of improvements but look for more sessions if you feel like it
therapy is like going to a physiotherapist (i don't know if that's the correct name), but for your brain
how do I actually get diagnosed with certain mental problems?
you go to a therapist and just start talking
a psychiatrist will just feed you pills and that's fricking dangerous
a therapist knows what the frick is going on on your head and how to treat it
they're like magicians
they see behaviours and other shit no one sees and know where that stuff comes from
For example, last time I tried a new therapist, she asked me if I was an introvert, because I usually evaded looking at her eyes while I was talking.
She told me there's a mental disorder that causes it (in the case I wasn't an introvert)
I'm aware and wary about drugs, and my primary doc even said it's not his intent to push any specific medication on me himself which made me like him a lot
I guess I'll just see what happens, last thing I messaged was just asking for clarification about what short term meant and if those sessions or whatever would be covered under my insurance so I guess I'll see what she says
>I guess I'll just see what happens, last thing I messaged was just asking for clarification about what short term meant and if those sessions or whatever would be covered under my insurance so I guess I'll see what she says
maybe you don't need more than 12 sessions
in the case you need more, just ask for them, or look for them elsewhere
mental health is extremely important
it dictates how you feel everyday and how you perceive reality, both physically and emotionally
>I'm aware and wary about drugs, and my primary doc even said it's not his intent to push any specific medication on me himself which made me like him a lot
that's super important, drugs are just a temporal fix, usually an awful choice
they must know the root of the problem first, then start working on the problem, and then, if needed, give some extra help with some medication
the last time they messaged me they said they could offer short term (12 sessions)
I don't know what that means
>I think he recommended me a girl therapist instead of a male one, is that something I should be concerned about?
Don't bother with females they have no clue what life is like for men and only see Chad as a human being, not you.
grow up
>bundles, sales, and giveaways
>tfw you'll probably die before finishing your backlog
What should I play after Erdtree?
>tell myself to pick a game and stick with it until I finish it
>never pick a game
>tell myself I won't buy anymore games until I play some of what I have
>buy a new game because it was $2
>the backlog just grows
Since getting into MMOs, I have developed terrible FOMO because I always feel like there's someone that could use some help or there's something else I should be grinding for
And even when I do try to play something else, I end up getting decision paralysis from the hundreds of games to choose from. What do, bros?
have like 6k worth of games
play stupid cyberpunk game instead
seeing as though this is *the* thread...
any other frick ups here think that they're genuinely ADD? And not in the zoomer, watching tiktoks kind of way, but rather in the "I'll stay up until 4am trying to learn how FP arithmetic works, but never go anywhere with it because it looks too complicated for me so I'll just mindlessly browse Ganker" kind of way? No, just me?
