it takes no proving and zero mental gymnastics and I say this as a person who had anxiety their whole life
it's the most simple rational way you can think about things to decide that people must just be being "hysterical" or "overemotional for no reason" if you're a straightfoward normal thinking person who isn't upset by regular situations or ideas
are you fricking moronic? I hate when people do this illogical shit where they try to group all denying claims as equal to discredit another claim without actual proper scrutiny.
DID is hotly debated. Something isn't a mental illness defined by your moronic subjective "experience" or else the entire study of Psychology would fall apart completely. Its defined by a consistent and backed criteria and standard. Of course mentally ill morons would be moronic. I thought better of you morons, but maybe that was just me projecting my own experience and self awareness onto morons.
Saying anxiety isn't real is moronic. It is a real feeling. Mental illness is just imprints on your psyche from your environment, you experiences, your childhood. It's basically all CPTS (Complex Post Traumatic Stress). It does no good to just say it isn't real and dismiss people outright. You have low emotional intelligence. You're not exactly wrong, but shut the frick up because you're emotionally moronic.
Being born into a chaotic environment is a common cause of mental illness. You learn to adapt to this completely new environment and now you're wired for that. Like a war veteran who comes home. Or a car accident survivor or rape victim. Environment seems to be the main factor.

The DSM is the encyclopedia every psychologist uses to help diagnose mental illness in the United States.
>The DSM is the encyclopedia every psychologist uses to help diagnose mental illness in the United States
yeah, and the DSM used to put being gay as a mental illness, bro psychologists barely know shit, this isnt an objective science. The fact of the matter is that DID is still hotly debated in the literature and it's not remotely necessarily agreed upon yet. Don't know how the morons fricked this up with the DSM. But then again they're the same morons that thought being gay was a mental illness so I'm not gunna take their shit at face value. Employ some critical thinking morons. Have you NOT heard of any of the contentions regarding DID? Or do you guys just eat up whatever shit makes you feel good like mindless morons?
bro the edition of the DSM that classified homosexuality as a mental illness is over twenty years old; every psychologist since then has been replaced by a newer generation. How can you not figure something like that out?

I don't know why you said 'over 20 years old' when saying 50 years is much more impactful to your point.
Social Anxiety is merely a consequence of being a stuck at home loser, you fricking sperg.
Go out and hang out with people and it'll soon be gone. Drink a beer or two to help with the nervousness.
>dude just drink 2 beers everytime you go to work, go to the store, go to the gym, talk to people one the phone, do literally anything social
Dude, stop
If you lash out when anyone tries to help you, you don't have any sort of mental illness at all, you're just an insufferable c**t who no one would want to be around anyways. You should be glad that I'm the one to tell you this since people are too afraid to say it to your face.
Dude I don't even have social anxiety but giving someone the advice to "just drink beer" is the fricking most moronic thing I've EVER heard

Social Anxiety is literally just a reaction of your psyche to something that became "uncommon" for you. You don't defeat it by staying inside and shoving meds down your throat, you have to get out and make your brain remind that there is nothing to fear in those situations.
Anyone who tells you otherwise wants you miserable or wants you on meds.

Alcohol is a depressant. You may find beer or liquor gross, you may not like having to ingest it in social situations, but as the previous anon indicated, it is necessary for a large swath of the population. Acting like it's some impasse shows arrogance on your part. You aren't required to drink, but you certainly shouldn't be a massive b***h about it if others are drinking too.

It absolutely is man. I could have done a frickton of productive stuff, talking to a few women, have seen my friends, fricked a girl, etc. and I still be deeply nervous or worried inside with no route cause. I'm well adjusted, I lift, make money, etc - but it's always this feeling that's buzzing around in the background. No matter what success you're experiencing is, there's a sensation that something is wrong and you're supposed to be doing something else.
believe you me i wish i could just not worry about the fact that i could die at any moment to something like an aneurism, blood clot, or brain worms because i didnt cook my pork chop right, but also the non zero percent chance i could be hit by a sink hole and other things i have no control over
Good one hypochondria bro, beat it again recently and went out of my way to get most of the late game content this time around, such an amazing game.
Do you feel like your hypochndria is getting better or worse over time? I thought I had it pretty much under control for like 10 years but recently shit's been wild.
>I thought I had it pretty much under control for like 10 years but recently shit's been wild.
I'm not that anon, but damn.. same here anon. I had it real fricking bad back in 2007-2010 but then it got better, to the point where I almost could forget about it. I'd still get like one thing each year where I thought I was dying but after that it just left me and I could move on.
Past year has been BRUTAL. It's constant, I've been to the doctor's like 10 times this year alone and it feels pathetic. I'm forcing myself not to go right now even though I want to. What made it come back for me was unironically improving my life, I got less depressed and things got better and for some reason that made me think of death constantly.
>What made it come back for me was unironically improving my life, I got less depressed and things got better and for some reason that made me think of death constantly.
Oh shit, I think you might be on to something as I would say the same situation applies to me as well. Maybe finally getting some luck in life makes you extra paranoid you're about to lose everything? frick
Yeah that's definitely a big part of it. Even if I'm feeling good my mind starts subconsciously scanning my body for shit to get paranoid at. And of course, eventually something comes up and you get that fricked up rush of adrenaline where you're like yep I'm fricked. It really sucks man
oh shit, I feel like I remember this hypochondriac shit from watching house. Is it that weird thing where you think you have a disease or illness when you don't and constantly go to the doctor?
Not the anon but yeah kinda. Also funny that you mention House as watching that as a kid probably didn't help. Regarding the constantly going to the doctor thing, you can either be an avoidant hypochondriac where you avoid doctors for fear of being told you're fricked, or you go to doctors very often.
does that look like a reputable source lil bro? I mean, saucy, you're cool cuz you helped me with my metroid prime issue, but pls try not to be moronic and think a lil before you make a response, the frick is a "Theravive"???
I gotta ask because I feel like if I asked this in any other thread I wouldn’t be able to get a straight answer.
What do people see in Arthur Morgan that I don’t? Don’t get me wrong, I like him too, he’s a cool guy, his story is that great mix of exciting and tragic and inspiring, but what exactly puts him into such elevated status where multiple people call him the greatest video game character of all time from a writing standpoint? Just the fact that he’s both rugged and non-toxic (depending on playstyle of course but)?
nta, I like him because I as a player spent a lot of the time with the guy, he is tough and sometimes cold-blooded on the outside but tragic and kind inside.
I personally put RDR2 as one of the most immersive and the best slow-burn games that doesn't shit the bed in the end. Since you are going to spend more than average playtimes on the game, the characters naturally have more of an opportunity to connect with you, and I think that's why people call Arthur the greatest character.
I don't know if I would put Arthur as the best video game character I've experienced, but I definitely felt the most connection, I "cared" the most about most if not all of the characters in RDR2.
He's smart in his own non-educated way. He isnt just a thug like Bill Williamson. He's just a classic rugged cowboy like John Wayne with a fair amount of nuance and a believable redemption. I'd go as far as to say he sees himself in John and the oppurtunity he has with Abigail; Arthur had something similar and he threw it. Also the bar for video game writing is really quite low. Too many game devs play too games and should just be reading more.
i liked playing him as a mean bastard who gets a heart of gold by the end. I could not imagine act 1 arthur or prologue arthur letting the guy who knows about your real identity live at the start. If arthur is a saint the entire playthrough what is his redemption?
Being trans isn't actually the mental illness, dysphoria is. And yeah, I know they're technically linked...but I imagine by now we've got some trans people without dysphoria, and plus, it's just good not to relate the mental illness to its greatest association. Same reason why we wouldn't call being a woman a mental illness cuz of the associations with BPD and other cluster b personality disorders
yeah, exactly, the way I've seen trans defined, is either as somebody with gender incongruity, or somebody who actually takes steps to actually transition into what3ver gender their comfortable with
regardless of whether you consider those people actually trans, I still think it's probably not sensible to dub the being of trans as mental illness rather than the actual condition: being dysphoria of course
is this the thread? where we can all huddle around and secretly console eachother while talking about how our related vidya is special to us because we're all fricked up and it's technically on topic?
I don't need somebody to tell me it'll all be okay, I just need somebody to tell me they understand how cursed and unfortunate my circumstance is
Yep. Life sucks, your life probably sucks, I and none of us can change that but assuming you aren’t bullshitting then you can at least know that someone sees you. I’m sorry. I have no idea who you are but I understand you.
I don't like pity party shit but it really blows my mind how some people are just... happy. And don't give me that bullshit about "everyone has problems", I know what it's like to be happy, I had a charmed life & mental illness just totally ruined it. It's so crazy man. We don't even need an afterlife to exist because both hell and heaven exist on our own planet, they're just different states of mind. Some people essentially live in hell

I can respect this. I hate my dad more than anything else but I can be thankful that giving up or cutting myself short to prove him or anyone else right disgust me enough to keep improving myself
Well, that’s fair too I suppose. Either way just don’t allow yourself to fall into that trap. Please. I don’t even know you but I don’t want you to do it.
I'm never been diagnosed with schizoid but I am at the point where most of my waking hours are lost in sexual delusions. Usually in the form of a witch mommy lovingly controlling every aspect of my life to the point she's not letting me dress myself.
>Diagnosed Autism that evolved into full blown Schizoid personality disorder.
Actual diagnosed schizoid? Because I'm autistic and feel this happening to me. My isolation and delusions are getting worse and worse.
Doesn't Schizoid Personality Disorder present more similarly to the "negative symptoms" of Schizophrenia while delusions would be more in line with full Schizophrenia or Schizotypal Disorder?
>tfw have a bunch of mental illnesses >can't go to the doctor to get diagnosed because mental illnesses keep me from doing anything
what do I do
I've neeted for 8 years and now my health insurance is gone so even if I made myself go I couldn't
the only thing you can do, is literally force yourself into an environment where you're constantly expected to do shit, no not work, work is shit. I'm thinking school. Despite school being a constant dose of stress for me, I didn't realize hoe much it kept me anchored to life until I neeted for a while and struggled to do anything...even more than I did before.
idk, work probably works too, but work is just so boring in a way school quite isn't.
good luck I guess, don't really care about you, but hope it gets better
Mental illness isn't real. You might have been born with mental moronation, you might have some paraphernalia that makes you act moronic or you might just be plain moronic. Besides chronic schizophrenia (which shares traits with low-functioning autism, itself the PC term for being a 'tard) there is no such thing as being 'ill' in the head. You're just a b***h.
Neurodivergence is the biggest meme terminally online types have ever tried to push. We have gaslit a society of normal people into thinking something is wrong with them because they aren't social butterflies, or jerk off to weird things.
Nah you're just moronic. Just because psychiatry has gotten memed up hard the past 10 years doesn't mean the brain doesn't get fricked up in many ways.
Think of it this way, the rest of our body gets sick, the brain is the most complicated fricking organ we have, it is in fact so complicated that scientists don't even really understand it. You're telling me that this insanely complicated thing can't get shit wrong and you just end up broken in thousands of different ways?
Scientists don't understand these illnesses because their patients leave out pretty fricking important details, like fapping 3x a day or never getting any sunlight.
My favorite is "chronic fatigue" which is what coomers end up with because they jerk off so much they lose all energy.
Everything else, social anxiety, disassociation, even hypochondria, it's all a result of lifestyle and everyone who claims to have them is suspect.
I'm not 'blaming' anyone btw, I hate that mental illness has become such a huge thing that those with real, debilitating problems get ignored because some troony needs more fun pills.
It's more than lifestyle. Why do you think people from divorced homes tend to have problems. If you grow up with abusive parents even if it's not physical, you tend to have problems. Early childhood matters a lot.
>I'm not 'blaming' anyone btw, I hate that mental illness has become such a huge thing that those with real, debilitating problems get ignored because some troony needs more fun pills.
You don't believe in real disorders, you made that clear kek
>there is no such thing as being 'ill' in the head. You're just a b***h.
Nah, people with shit like BPD are genuinely fricked in the head. The real lie is that they can 'improve' when their brains are physically incapable of empathy.
Progressive ideologies cannot change the fact that they are dangerous animals.
People with those kinds of illnesses can improve, they just need to learn how to spread God's goodness.
I am one of them. I have PTSD with comorbid NPD/BPD. I do not have empathy and I am extremely self centered. However I also believe in God 100%, and I cannot possibly ever hope to be as great as Father is, so I serve him and do what I know is right, even when I would rather just do whatever benefits me the most.
I do not need to like you, feel empathy for you, or think of you on the same level as I am, but I will treat you with the respect Father wants me to give you, and I will do it with sincerity.
>>your mental illness
Depression
Anxiety >>your favorite game
I have no one favourite game but a few of them are Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Deus Ex, Pathfinder, both games, Elden Ring, Dark souls 2 and probably some others too
Anxiety/Anger/PTSD Kane and Lynch 2:Dog Days
Don’t ask me why, I don’t know, I just remember I played the multiplayer until the literal death of the game on 360 and now I play it every day on Steam. I don’t think it’s related to the mental illness because my second favorite of all time is Death Stranding which may as well be the polar opposite.
>Autism >ADHD >Anxiety >Depression >Not diagnosed, but I think I might have OCD, too
lol, lmao
Not on meds for any of them, my body doesn't work well with psychmeds
Can't decide a specific favorite, so here's my 4x3
>either honest to goodness autism or some cluster C personality disorder, haven't been properly diagnosed >currenly, REm4ke; longtime, the Bamham games
By the way, I was reading websites for autists by autists, and I think their reluctance to accept autism as a mental illness is more of a hindrance to their cause than a benefit.
I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the parents of a low-functioning sperg: it's bad if you help them and it's bad if you don't, and you are stuck with a kid that makes you miserable every waking day.
Autism is a blanket term for wide number of symptoms, which can be anything from social ineptitude to being a literal mute moron that shit themselves and has to wear a bike helmet. It's so moronic that the term might as well not exist.
Aspergers is usually caused by dysfunction of cerebellum, but even mentioning those studies leads to homosexuals throwing the word 'Nazi' around because authentic biology is hate speech.
as i said, your nuance falls flat there. are you implying gubments are buying theae medicines in droves to keep pharma afloat, and then just throwing their stock wherever for free? for what purpose? your previous reasoning doesnt fit in any way, and i domt care to hear the next cope. i never said pharma is making no money.
right so tax payers have mental illnesses because they pay taxes and dont claim nay medications? whats your point here, i pay taxes for roads so im at fault for chugging down these drugs. uhuh...
The point was that you claimed pharmas have no financial incentive to push "illnesses" onto people to sell them drugs for it. Keep up with the script.

When I was younger I didn't have the ability to grasp how people would feel, and even when I did it was a bigger leap in logic to figure out why it fricking matters to me. I would purposefully provoke fistfights in a way that would make me look innocent so that I could get people I didn't like suspended while being able to get a shot or two in on them, but that's pretty much the worst I did. I don't feel any compulsions to do really heinous shit because real life isn't a movie, but most of life is just a really big game of suppressing my gut reactions. >Are you under treatment?
I was a while ago, but it's kind of useless because I just tell them what they want to hear, it never actually helped and I don't really feel like I need help in the first place.
ASPD is literally just the replacement term for psychopathy, since that's now a bad word like 'moron'.
It doesn't mean someone runs around like engaging in antisocial behavior.
Selective mutism, social anxiety, depression

ADHD

i can randomly go a full day without eating because im too focused on any type of work and medication does help if I'm getting too many intrusive thoughts while I work on something and I have zero dependency, been off for two weeks but I'll probably take some for this upcoming deadline. Just makes it a little harder to drive if I do take some on the same day
I'm not mentally ill, most people aren't. You are either a moron that falls for trends or just lazy and trying to justify it. It's okay to be lazy, it isn't depression or anxiety, you are just a lazy sack of shit and that's cool man. Just play games and stop trying to justify it.
They have genuine problems that they need to fix. Your mentality doesn't help people at all though. Shut the frick up and don't speak until you gain some emotional intelligence. People like you do more harm than good. Just shut the frick up.
No, you need to get it in your skull that you aren't likely mentally ill. Mental illness increases as pop psychology is shared throughout society. Split personality disorder happened very rarely until it was put in movies and books which made the adoption of it proliferate. Most of the people that are depressed aren't actually depressed, most people with anxiety don't have anxiety. You need gain general intelligence and stop being such an empathetic person, you need to exercise actual sympathy and care about people instead of excusing destructive behavior.
Almost all "mental illness" is people (including doctors and therapists, this is why it's so harmful) falsely attributing genuine disease with either poor emotional control or narcissism
I don't blame people for this, I think society has failed to teach people how to handle their feelings and elects to diagnose and sell them life-long treatments instead. Not to mention our absolute refusal to take responsibility for the condition that our personal lives and therefor society in general have degraded to. Those weird experiments they did on the rats reflect this eerily.
I said myself it isn't really mental illness, it's just learned behavior. If you grow up in an abusive home, your world as a kid is that abusive home. You learn to live in that world. When you're no longer in it, you still react as though you are in an abusive home. It doesn't excuse anything, but that's where it comes from. That's why people have problems. It's learned behaviors and triggers that you learn to react to, but are no longer in "danger".
Surely people would think there would be some overlap in order for empathy to do it's thing but no, people will just say "just do this bro" and leave it at that, makes me wonder who had the tougher upbringing tbh

A little bit. I don't have it so bad that I think everyone is going to treat me like a god by default. Where it impacts me the most it the criticism thing, because I tend to think that they're criticizing something they don't really understand and are basing their views on movie/television stereotypes (I tend to view most people as a type of cattle that are incapable of thinking outside of movie/tv tropes)
But there are times where the criticism is totally valid and I realize it later, but was too bent on viewing the person who gave it as cattle. If that makes sense.
Just watch your blood pressure, people always talk about diabetes and liver cirrhosis when it comes to alcohol but hypertension kills more alcoholics than anything besides drunk driving.
Also you should know that alcohol withdrawal is very severe but extremely short compared to other drugs, if you choose to quit you'll feel good as new in less than a month or two.
Just consult your doctor about quitting if you decide to because that amount of alcohol intake may require weening but I'm not sure.
>Just consult your doctor about quitting if you decide to because that amount of alcohol intake may require weening but I'm not sure.
It absolutely does require medical supervision. Alcohol is considered one of, if not THE most dangerous substances to quit.
Everyone knows it's dangerous, but most people don't know HOW dangerous it really is. Look up "the DTs." They should really put that on the bottle.
Yeah I understand. I don't have it as bad as you but I'm used to drinking 4-5 beers a night for the past couple years (typically Sierria Nevada or something stronger)
I tried to quit recently and started getting itchy when I went to bed. I was like "there's no way my problem is this bad!" but here we are.
I drank daily for about a year straight and it's remarkable the kind of mentality you unconsciously build around it. You genuinely can't see how bad it is and the fact you're intoxicated most of the time makes you not give a frick how much you're ruining your life.
Nothing comes without a price, both positively and negatively. It's never too late to improve.
OCD I think. It's like a mix between anxiety and OCD where anxiety triggers some kind of OCD response. Like I'll get stuck thinking about something and then I'll get the urge to do things like open a certain door or turn on a certain light. Whenever it happens it's hell for like 30 minutes then it's over. /blogpost
Hard to pick a favorite game. Maybe Kingdom Hearts 2.

Going through the X games for the first time. This is the next one on the list. What am I in for? Is it true Capcom stabbed Inafune in the back over this?
inconsistent level design and an annoying RNG mechanic in the nightmare system. It's ok, not as bad as most people make it out to be. Zero's new moveset is pretty fun. Inafune had already moved on to the zero series, those were generally better accepted but suffered from a myopic camera.

Depression. My favorite game is Metal Gear Solid 2.
I don’t take any medication for my depression and just cope with it through sheer force of will. I do well enough most of the time but admittedly spent most of this weekend in bed.
I was diagnosed with social anxiety a few years ago and took medication for it for a while, but I don’t suffer from it at all anymore. I’m pretty sure any anxiety I was experiencing at that time was just from dating and living with a woman who has BPD.
I just want to cry inside. Stuck with a part-time job on my last contract, and my parents are pressuring me into going into graduate school for a Masters degree. But selfish desires, anxiety, and peer pressure is holding me back from applying to an actual job that will make me 70k/year. I'm scared of moving out because rent is too expensive these days and I'm scared of living off paychecks. I feel like I'm fulfilling a destructive prophecy by not reaching my full potential and being productive.
No real-life friends, just a handful of close friends on discord of which half live an ocean away. Yet every time I go out to work, I act like a sage and give out genuinely good advice when I myself never follow it. Like I have two personalities within me after almost losing my mother to a ruptured aneurysm when I was 17. I question whether I truly can identify myself every day, either as a gifted STEM student or a pathetic, selfish homosexual who's too driven by their desires for pleasure.
Maybe that's why my favorite games belong to the Shin Megami Tensei franchise.
I have some kind of apathy syndrome. I simply don’t care about anything that isn’t fun or engaging. I don’t understand depression. I don’t understand anxiety. Why are you taking life so seriously? Literally nothing matters. You’ll spend 50% of your life at work. That’s all there is to life. Why worry or feel sad when you can’t change anything? Life is shit. Get over it. Get to work or you’ll be homeless.
There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re just aware that life is fricking horrible. No matter how far we progress it’s all just a thin veil over survival. That’s all we’re doing.
Same. I adore the remix of Battle With The Four Fiends. Funnily enough, this game is older than I am, but it's still my favorite game I've ever played. I try to replay it at least once a year, and well
I found this at a yard sale of all places, person didn't know what they had cause they were only selling it for $30.
>guyse trust me >mental disorders aren't real, you are just making this up because your menchildren >I dont need any evidence or arguments to back it up, I already have a degree in psycholochiatry from The Havard University of Massachusetts in Oxford. >I have a degree dude fr fr ong trust me bro >now let me go back to Ganker to spread more factual information
It can be the symptom of one. Although symptoms can be treated meaning just because a mental illness may influence you to want to be lazy, that's not an excuse to remain lazy
ADHD

ADHD is what's not real. Its called no discipline and lack of self control. Poor upbringing.
>Its called no discipline and lack of self control.
yeah...that's what ADHD is called...no contradiction here lmao (did this moron really think he got me or something? lmao)
bro you don't understand the israelites told me my brain is broken and I need to pay them for drugs for the rest of my life

Anxiety isnt real. Man the frick up
It's another episode of: homosexual who hasn't experienced mental illness tries to prove they aren't real with mental gymnastics
it takes no proving and zero mental gymnastics and I say this as a person who had anxiety their whole life
it's the most simple rational way you can think about things to decide that people must just be being "hysterical" or "overemotional for no reason" if you're a straightfoward normal thinking person who isn't upset by regular situations or ideas
>i know better than people who have studied these things their whole life because... I just do ok?!
Saying anxiety isn't real is moronic. It is a real feeling. Mental illness is just imprints on your psyche from your environment, you experiences, your childhood. It's basically all CPTS (Complex Post Traumatic Stress). It does no good to just say it isn't real and dismiss people outright. You have low emotional intelligence. You're not exactly wrong, but shut the frick up because you're emotionally moronic.
Being born into a chaotic environment is a common cause of mental illness. You learn to adapt to this completely new environment and now you're wired for that. Like a war veteran who comes home. Or a car accident survivor or rape victim. Environment seems to be the main factor.
are you fricking moronic? I hate when people do this illogical shit where they try to group all denying claims as equal to discredit another claim without actual proper scrutiny.
DID is hotly debated. Something isn't a mental illness defined by your moronic subjective "experience" or else the entire study of Psychology would fall apart completely. Its defined by a consistent and backed criteria and standard. Of course mentally ill morons would be moronic. I thought better of you morons, but maybe that was just me projecting my own experience and self awareness onto morons.
DID is IN the dsm you dumb fricking moron
I have honours degree in psychology you fricking moron
>DID is IN the dsm you dumb fricking moron
>The DSM is the encyclopedia every psychologist uses to help diagnose mental illness in the United States
yeah, and the DSM used to put being gay as a mental illness, bro psychologists barely know shit, this isnt an objective science. The fact of the matter is that DID is still hotly debated in the literature and it's not remotely necessarily agreed upon yet. Don't know how the morons fricked this up with the DSM. But then again they're the same morons that thought being gay was a mental illness so I'm not gunna take their shit at face value. Employ some critical thinking morons. Have you NOT heard of any of the contentions regarding DID? Or do you guys just eat up whatever shit makes you feel good like mindless morons?
bro the edition of the DSM that classified homosexuality as a mental illness is over twenty years old; every psychologist since then has been replaced by a newer generation. How can you not figure something like that out?
it goes against his narrative.
Damn, I didn't mean to disrupt his narration.
I don't know why you said 'over 20 years old' when saying 50 years is much more impactful to your point.
Being gay IS a mental illness
Social Anxiety is merely a consequence of being a stuck at home loser, you fricking sperg.
Go out and hang out with people and it'll soon be gone. Drink a beer or two to help with the nervousness.
>dude just drink 2 beers everytime you go to work, go to the store, go to the gym, talk to people one the phone, do literally anything social
Dude, stop
If you lash out when anyone tries to help you, you don't have any sort of mental illness at all, you're just an insufferable c**t who no one would want to be around anyways. You should be glad that I'm the one to tell you this since people are too afraid to say it to your face.
Dude I don't even have social anxiety but giving someone the advice to "just drink beer" is the fricking most moronic thing I've EVER heard
Shows how little you know, why do you think so many people meet over a beer? It's because it makes them chill out and relax. You are not the only one who feels on edge in social situations, mr special snowflake.
>why do you think so many people meet over a beer?
the 90s called, they want their stereotypes back
Holy moron, show us better that you haven't left your stinking apartment in a looong time.
>He thinks every country on earth has the same culture
Keep running for excuses instead of fixing your life, anon. Especially when it's this fricking easy, you are just a lazy frick.
I don't have any problems, my life IS fixed
>the solution to your problem? just like... fix it!! LOL!!
Social Anxiety is literally just a reaction of your psyche to something that became "uncommon" for you. You don't defeat it by staying inside and shoving meds down your throat, you have to get out and make your brain remind that there is nothing to fear in those situations.
Anyone who tells you otherwise wants you miserable or wants you on meds.
You don't offer real help your advice ruins lives.
>Just become an alcoholic
Shut the frick up and never give advice. At least suggest exposure therapy. You emotionally moronic dumb ass.
>real-world friendship is a 90s trope
I think I finally understand why zoomers are so fricking moronic. They spent their teen years during the trump administration.
I am neither american nor a zoomer
They don't drink every time they go out. Drink before work, drink before going to the store, drink before going into any social situation. That's not sustainable.
Alcohol is a depressant. You may find beer or liquor gross, you may not like having to ingest it in social situations, but as the previous anon indicated, it is necessary for a large swath of the population. Acting like it's some impasse shows arrogance on your part. You aren't required to drink, but you certainly shouldn't be a massive b***h about it if others are drinking too.
>it is necessary for a large swath of the population
No homie, that is not true
You're telling someone to become a functioning alcoholic which will probably eventually lead to further problems.
>dude I get social anxiety for going to the store
Holy shit homie, GO OUT and stop thinking the whole world is out to get you, you are not that important.
>He thinks I don't go outside
You are mario
This is really weird, but just about every American female I know is on some kind of anti-anxiety drug. There is something severely wrong with our culture lol
It absolutely is man. I could have done a frickton of productive stuff, talking to a few women, have seen my friends, fricked a girl, etc. and I still be deeply nervous or worried inside with no route cause. I'm well adjusted, I lift, make money, etc - but it's always this feeling that's buzzing around in the background. No matter what success you're experiencing is, there's a sensation that something is wrong and you're supposed to be doing something else.
believe you me i wish i could just not worry about the fact that i could die at any moment to something like an aneurism, blood clot, or brain worms because i didnt cook my pork chop right, but also the non zero percent chance i could be hit by a sink hole and other things i have no control over

Good one hypochondria bro, beat it again recently and went out of my way to get most of the late game content this time around, such an amazing game.
Do you feel like your hypochndria is getting better or worse over time? I thought I had it pretty much under control for like 10 years but recently shit's been wild.
>I thought I had it pretty much under control for like 10 years but recently shit's been wild.
I'm not that anon, but damn.. same here anon. I had it real fricking bad back in 2007-2010 but then it got better, to the point where I almost could forget about it. I'd still get like one thing each year where I thought I was dying but after that it just left me and I could move on.
Past year has been BRUTAL. It's constant, I've been to the doctor's like 10 times this year alone and it feels pathetic. I'm forcing myself not to go right now even though I want to. What made it come back for me was unironically improving my life, I got less depressed and things got better and for some reason that made me think of death constantly.
>What made it come back for me was unironically improving my life, I got less depressed and things got better and for some reason that made me think of death constantly.
Oh shit, I think you might be on to something as I would say the same situation applies to me as well. Maybe finally getting some luck in life makes you extra paranoid you're about to lose everything? frick
It sucks doesn't it? It's like our brains want us to stay miserable.
Yeah that's definitely a big part of it. Even if I'm feeling good my mind starts subconsciously scanning my body for shit to get paranoid at. And of course, eventually something comes up and you get that fricked up rush of adrenaline where you're like yep I'm fricked. It really sucks man
oh shit, I feel like I remember this hypochondriac shit from watching house. Is it that weird thing where you think you have a disease or illness when you don't and constantly go to the doctor?
Not the anon but yeah kinda. Also funny that you mention House as watching that as a kid probably didn't help. Regarding the constantly going to the doctor thing, you can either be an avoidant hypochondriac where you avoid doctors for fear of being told you're fricked, or you go to doctors very often.

RDR2
I gotta ask because I feel like if I asked this in any other thread I wouldn’t be able to get a straight answer.
What do people see in Arthur Morgan that I don’t? Don’t get me wrong, I like him too, he’s a cool guy, his story is that great mix of exciting and tragic and inspiring, but what exactly puts him into such elevated status where multiple people call him the greatest video game character of all time from a writing standpoint? Just the fact that he’s both rugged and non-toxic (depending on playstyle of course but)?
nta, I like him because I as a player spent a lot of the time with the guy, he is tough and sometimes cold-blooded on the outside but tragic and kind inside.
I personally put RDR2 as one of the most immersive and the best slow-burn games that doesn't shit the bed in the end. Since you are going to spend more than average playtimes on the game, the characters naturally have more of an opportunity to connect with you, and I think that's why people call Arthur the greatest character.
I don't know if I would put Arthur as the best video game character I've experienced, but I definitely felt the most connection, I "cared" the most about most if not all of the characters in RDR2.
He's smart in his own non-educated way. He isnt just a thug like Bill Williamson. He's just a classic rugged cowboy like John Wayne with a fair amount of nuance and a believable redemption. I'd go as far as to say he sees himself in John and the oppurtunity he has with Abigail; Arthur had something similar and he threw it. Also the bar for video game writing is really quite low. Too many game devs play too games and should just be reading more.
I feel like Valentine was based on that first town the Kid visits in Blood Meridian, down to the fistfights in muddy streets and the two story hotel
i liked playing him as a mean bastard who gets a heart of gold by the end. I could not imagine act 1 arthur or prologue arthur letting the guy who knows about your real identity live at the start. If arthur is a saint the entire playthrough what is his redemption?

Being trans isn't actually the mental illness, dysphoria is. And yeah, I know they're technically linked...but I imagine by now we've got some trans people without dysphoria, and plus, it's just good not to relate the mental illness to its greatest association. Same reason why we wouldn't call being a woman a mental illness cuz of the associations with BPD and other cluster b personality disorders
>we've got some trans people without dysphoria
this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard
I don't understand? what's so dumb about it? I mean intuitively it sounds stupid, but intuition isn't coherent and doesn't update itself.
I don't know any non dysphoric trans people myself, but I imagine there must be
Dude thats like 80% of the online "non binary" trans losers.
yeah, exactly, the way I've seen trans defined, is either as somebody with gender incongruity, or somebody who actually takes steps to actually transition into what3ver gender their comfortable with
regardless of whether you consider those people actually trans, I still think it's probably not sensible to dub the being of trans as mental illness rather than the actual condition: being dysphoria of course

I don't like pity party shit but it really blows my mind how some people are just... happy. And don't give me that bullshit about "everyone has problems", I know what it's like to be happy, I had a charmed life & mental illness just totally ruined it. It's so crazy man.

I'm never been diagnosed with schizoid but I am at the point where most of my waking hours are lost in sexual delusions. Usually in the form of a witch mommy lovingly controlling every aspect of my life to the point she's not letting me dress myself.
Doesn't Schizoid Personality Disorder present more similarly to the "negative symptoms" of Schizophrenia while delusions would be more in line with full Schizophrenia or Schizotypal Disorder?
Schizoid Personality Disorder is a bullshit diagnosis as far as I'm concerned. So far as it's real, it's either just Simplex Schizophrenia relabeled

Despite school being a constant dose of stress for me, I didn't realize hoe much it kept me anchored to life until I neeted for a while and struggled to do anything...even more than I did before.

Dark Souls 2
Mental illness isn't real. You might have been born with mental moronation, you might have some paraphernalia that makes you act moronic or you might just be plain moronic. Besides chronic schizophrenia (which shares traits with low-functioning autism, itself the PC term for being a 'tard) there is no such thing as being 'ill' in the head. You're just a b***h.
Neurodivergence is the biggest meme terminally online types have ever tried to push. We have gaslit a society of normal people into thinking something is wrong with them because they aren't social butterflies, or jerk off to weird things.
Nah you're just moronic. Just because psychiatry has gotten memed up hard the past 10 years doesn't mean the brain doesn't get fricked up in many ways.
Think of it this way, the rest of our body gets sick, the brain is the most complicated fricking organ we have, it is in fact so complicated that scientists don't even really understand it. You're telling me that this insanely complicated thing can't get shit wrong and you just end up broken in thousands of different ways?
Scientists don't understand these illnesses because their patients leave out pretty fricking important details, like fapping 3x a day or never getting any sunlight.
My favorite is "chronic fatigue" which is what coomers end up with because they jerk off so much they lose all energy.
Everything else, social anxiety, disassociation, even hypochondria, it's all a result of lifestyle and everyone who claims to have them is suspect.
I'm not 'blaming' anyone btw, I hate that mental illness has become such a huge thing that those with real, debilitating problems get ignored because some troony needs more fun pills.
It's more than lifestyle. Why do you think people from divorced homes tend to have problems. If you grow up with abusive parents even if it's not physical, you tend to have problems. Early childhood matters a lot.
>I'm not 'blaming' anyone btw, I hate that mental illness has become such a huge thing that those with real, debilitating problems get ignored because some troony needs more fun pills.
You don't believe in real disorders, you made that clear kek
>there is no such thing as being 'ill' in the head. You're just a b***h.
Nah, people with shit like BPD are genuinely fricked in the head. The real lie is that they can 'improve' when their brains are physically incapable of empathy.
Progressive ideologies cannot change the fact that they are dangerous animals.
People with those kinds of illnesses can improve, they just need to learn how to spread God's goodness.
I am one of them. I have PTSD with comorbid NPD/BPD. I do not have empathy and I am extremely self centered. However I also believe in God 100%, and I cannot possibly ever hope to be as great as Father is, so I serve him and do what I know is right, even when I would rather just do whatever benefits me the most.
I do not need to like you, feel empathy for you, or think of you on the same level as I am, but I will treat you with the respect Father wants me to give you, and I will do it with sincerity.

By the way, I was reading websites for autists by autists, and I think their reluctance to accept autism as a mental illness is more of a hindrance to their cause than a benefit.
I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the parents of a low-functioning sperg: it's bad if you help them and it's bad if you don't, and you are stuck with a kid that makes you miserable every waking day.
No one on Ganker who says they has autism is telling the truth. Every single one of them is a lying fricking homosexual.
Autism is a blanket term for wide number of symptoms, which can be anything from social ineptitude to being a literal mute moron that shit themselves and has to wear a bike helmet. It's so moronic that the term might as well not exist.
Aspergers is usually caused by dysfunction of cerebellum, but even mentioning those studies leads to homosexuals throwing the word 'Nazi' around because authentic biology is hate speech.

because a significant portion of them are made up to sell drugs but morons can't comprehend nuance
maybe in some countries, but these drugs are free where i live. gubment pays for it, and the "nuance" falls flat there.
oh right I forgot that socialized medicine makes pharmaceutical companies unprofitable
as i said, your nuance falls flat there. are you implying gubments are buying theae medicines in droves to keep pharma afloat, and then just throwing their stock wherever for free? for what purpose? your previous reasoning doesnt fit in any way, and i domt care to hear the next cope. i never said pharma is making no money.
I don't think you'll be able to read my next "cope"
Hmm yeah, the pharmas just create these drugs out of the goodwill of their heart just because you don't pay for them directly. Ever heard of taxes?
right so tax payers have mental illnesses because they pay taxes and dont claim nay medications? whats your point here, i pay taxes for roads so im at fault for chugging down these drugs. uhuh...
The point was that you claimed pharmas have no financial incentive to push "illnesses" onto people to sell them drugs for it. Keep up with the script.
in most countries, no.
lol, rofl even.
I wish I was that guillible
do you actually believe pharmaceutical companies don't get paid in countries with socialized healthcare?
where did i say that? ive already had to reiterate that i never said pharma makes $0 so ill say that again.
your beliefs do not makes sense unless you think big pharma makes $0
if they make any amount of money they have an incentive to make shit up and provide a "cure"
maybe youre just stupid

No, worse, the last white person in America.
So, have you broken windows or do some truly antisocial shit? Are you under treatment?
When I was younger I didn't have the ability to grasp how people would feel, and even when I did it was a bigger leap in logic to figure out why it fricking matters to me. I would purposefully provoke fistfights in a way that would make me look innocent so that I could get people I didn't like suspended while being able to get a shot or two in on them, but that's pretty much the worst I did. I don't feel any compulsions to do really heinous shit because real life isn't a movie, but most of life is just a really big game of suppressing my gut reactions.
>Are you under treatment?
I was a while ago, but it's kind of useless because I just tell them what they want to hear, it never actually helped and I don't really feel like I need help in the first place.
ASPD is literally just the replacement term for psychopathy, since that's now a bad word like 'moron'.

i can randomly go a full day without eating because im too focused on any type of work and medication does help if I'm getting too many intrusive thoughts while I work on something and I have zero dependency, been off for two weeks but I'll probably take some for this upcoming deadline. Just makes it a little harder to drive if I do take some on the same day

I'm not mentally ill, most people aren't. You are either a moron that falls for trends or just lazy and trying to justify it. It's okay to be lazy, it isn't depression or anxiety, you are just a lazy sack of shit and that's cool man. Just play games and stop trying to justify it.
Sorry anon, you might be moronic.
They have genuine problems that they need to fix. Your mentality doesn't help people at all though. Shut the frick up and don't speak until you gain some emotional intelligence. People like you do more harm than good. Just shut the frick up.
No, you need to get it in your skull that you aren't likely mentally ill. Mental illness increases as pop psychology is shared throughout society. Split personality disorder happened very rarely until it was put in movies and books which made the adoption of it proliferate. Most of the people that are depressed aren't actually depressed, most people with anxiety don't have anxiety. You need gain general intelligence and stop being such an empathetic person, you need to exercise actual sympathy and care about people instead of excusing destructive behavior.
Almost all "mental illness" is people (including doctors and therapists, this is why it's so harmful) falsely attributing genuine disease with either poor emotional control or narcissism
I don't blame people for this, I think society has failed to teach people how to handle their feelings and elects to diagnose and sell them life-long treatments instead. Not to mention our absolute refusal to take responsibility for the condition that our personal lives and therefor society in general have degraded to. Those weird experiments they did on the rats reflect this eerily.
I said myself it isn't really mental illness, it's just learned behavior. If you grow up in an abusive home, your world as a kid is that abusive home. You learn to live in that world. When you're no longer in it, you still react as though you are in an abusive home. It doesn't excuse anything, but that's where it comes from. That's why people have problems. It's learned behaviors and triggers that you learn to react to, but are no longer in "danger".

Surely people would think there would be some overlap in order for empathy to do it's thing but no, people will just say "just do this bro" and leave it at that, makes me wonder who had the tougher upbringing tbh
The just do this people are either in denial or had easy upbringings.

Narcisistic personality disorder.
I see. I'm probably okay. Better off than the guy who can't go to the grocery store without sperging out I suppose
Do you relate?
A little bit. I don't have it so bad that I think everyone is going to treat me like a god by default. Where it impacts me the most it the criticism thing, because I tend to think that they're criticizing something they don't really understand and are basing their views on movie/television stereotypes (I tend to view most people as a type of cattle that are incapable of thinking outside of movie/tv tropes)
But there are times where the criticism is totally valid and I realize it later, but was too bent on viewing the person who gave it as cattle. If that makes sense.

This isn't a mental illness, this is just pure degeneracy.
i dunno bro its pretty severe
thats about 3 months worth of beer
i drink a 30 pack about every 24 hours
Just watch your blood pressure, people always talk about diabetes and liver cirrhosis when it comes to alcohol but hypertension kills more alcoholics than anything besides drunk driving.
Also you should know that alcohol withdrawal is very severe but extremely short compared to other drugs, if you choose to quit you'll feel good as new in less than a month or two.
Just consult your doctor about quitting if you decide to because that amount of alcohol intake may require weening but I'm not sure.
i have a script of 90 librium i get every 90 days
>Just consult your doctor about quitting if you decide to because that amount of alcohol intake may require weening but I'm not sure.
It absolutely does require medical supervision. Alcohol is considered one of, if not THE most dangerous substances to quit.
Everyone knows it's dangerous, but most people don't know HOW dangerous it really is. Look up "the DTs." They should really put that on the bottle.
Yeah I understand. I don't have it as bad as you but I'm used to drinking 4-5 beers a night for the past couple years (typically Sierria Nevada or something stronger)
I tried to quit recently and started getting itchy when I went to bed. I was like "there's no way my problem is this bad!" but here we are.
I drank daily for about a year straight and it's remarkable the kind of mentality you unconsciously build around it. You genuinely can't see how bad it is and the fact you're intoxicated most of the time makes you not give a frick how much you're ruining your life.
Nothing comes without a price, both positively and negatively. It's never too late to improve.

OCD I think. It's like a mix between anxiety and OCD where anxiety triggers some kind of OCD response. Like I'll get stuck thinking about something and then I'll get the urge to do things like open a certain door or turn on a certain light. Whenever it happens it's hell for like 30 minutes then it's over. /blogpost

Going through the X games for the first time. This is the next one on the list. What am I in for? Is it true Capcom stabbed Inafune in the back over this?
inconsistent level design and an annoying RNG mechanic in the nightmare system. It's ok, not as bad as most people make it out to be. Zero's new moveset is pretty fun. Inafune had already moved on to the zero series, those were generally better accepted but suffered from a myopic camera.
7 is far worse, I would avoid playing it.

I have crippling OCD
I literally cannot even type a message without having to press a key several times just so I can press it perfectly otherwise I literally freak out and want to tear my hair out and scream
I cannot handle playing video games because I get so exhausted having to do this shit for literally every fricking option a game has
I can't go to a doctor because I'm too depressed to do anything
this shit has been ruining my life my entire fricking life and no one even knows about it
I want to kill myself so fricking much
Dude just go to the fricking doctor lol
I don't have a doctor
I don't have health insurance
I don't have a license or car

I have social anxiety and I also don't trust my doctor. They've requested I make an appointment for a review of my medication but I just can't bring myself to do it. You're not alone anon.
>I can't go to a doctor because I'm too depressed to do anything
>this shit has been ruining my life my entire fricking life and no one even knows about it
So fricking fix it you stupid shithead. Depression is telling you that you can't but you fricking can; there is NOTHING stopping you but your own head and your own head is the same thing telling you that you need to sort your mess out.
Frick you anon just book that appointment already.
Depression. My favorite game is Metal Gear Solid 2.
I don’t take any medication for my depression and just cope with it through sheer force of will. I do well enough most of the time but admittedly spent most of this weekend in bed.
I was diagnosed with social anxiety a few years ago and took medication for it for a while, but I don’t suffer from it at all anymore. I’m pretty sure any anxiety I was experiencing at that time was just from dating and living with a woman who has BPD.

I just want to cry inside. Stuck with a part-time job on my last contract, and my parents are pressuring me into going into graduate school for a Masters degree. But selfish desires, anxiety, and peer pressure is holding me back from applying to an actual job that will make me 70k/year. I'm scared of moving out because rent is too expensive these days and I'm scared of living off paychecks. I feel like I'm fulfilling a destructive prophecy by not reaching my full potential and being productive.
No real-life friends, just a handful of close friends on discord of which half live an ocean away. Yet every time I go out to work, I act like a sage and give out genuinely good advice when I myself never follow it. Like I have two personalities within me after almost losing my mother to a ruptured aneurysm when I was 17. I question whether I truly can identify myself every day, either as a gifted STEM student or a pathetic, selfish homosexual who's too driven by their desires for pleasure.
Maybe that's why my favorite games belong to the Shin Megami Tensei franchise.
I have some kind of apathy syndrome. I simply don’t care about anything that isn’t fun or engaging. I don’t understand depression. I don’t understand anxiety. Why are you taking life so seriously? Literally nothing matters. You’ll spend 50% of your life at work. That’s all there is to life. Why worry or feel sad when you can’t change anything? Life is shit. Get over it. Get to work or you’ll be homeless.

Being alive in the 21st century.
There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re just aware that life is fricking horrible. No matter how far we progress it’s all just a thin veil over survival. That’s all we’re doing.

Nah, just really really like that art of Cecil. My favorite version is probably either GBA with sound restoration patch, or Pixel Remaster.
I liked Pixel Remaster too. Love the new OST.
Same. I adore the remix of Battle With The Four Fiends. Funnily enough, this game is older than I am, but it's still my favorite game I've ever played. I try to replay it at least once a year, and well
I found this at a yard sale of all places, person didn't know what they had cause they were only selling it for $30.

It can be the symptom of one. Although symptoms can be treated meaning just because a mental illness may influence you to want to be lazy, that's not an excuse to remain lazy
