I am 23 years old. Games are boring, movies too, there are no hobbies in life. In recent days, thoughts of suicide have crept into my head. Is it possible to get out of this situation without suicide?

>an hero because entertainment is boring
BOI IF YOU DO-

I was were you are but I'm 25 now
It doesn't get easier, but it gets managable
you'll have bad days or weeks, but you'll also have good days or weeks

I managed to find some hobbies that gave meaning to my life
It sucks I cant watch films & play games anymore, but ohwell

I think of suicide only when I'm having a really bad day

You can literally feel the chemicals trying to fuck your brain
Sometimes I get overwhelemed in life and the first thing to blow out is my mind & I get paralyzed with depression, those are the toughest points
Best thing I've been doing is thinking in terms of small task to small task, make it extremely manageable and slowly cut down the external shit that's fucking me up, like literally don't even think about anything else, just that 1 small thing, don't think about what'll happen after

Try and learn something new, maybe cooking or baking, it helped me keep my mind off from suicidal thougths so maybe it will work for you.
Try and live life a day at a time, just worrying about the present and short future.

The difference in our age is not so big and I think that in 25 and 30 I will be the same loser as now. The only plus in my life is that I have a lot of free time, but there is no desire to do anything, not to learn something new, not to strive and set some goals in life. I'm like a potato sack that just exists, not living.

Cooking is good, but it's not my thing. I don't like messing with food. I just can't find myself in life. At my age, my parents were already successful people who achieved success and made plans for life, and at the age of 23 I am a complete loser without any prospects.

user, you dont need to worry about things like being succesful at a specific age or things like that, the only thing that really matters in this life is finding a way to live while being happy, even if to others it seems dumb, small or foolish, as long as you are capable of finding a way to live like that it doesnt matters if its living in the streets, living as a farmer or being a ceo of a company.
Now I wont be able to tell you a specific thing that can make you happy, I sadly dont know you that well, but here gave some really good advice, try living your in terms of small goals, not things like graduating university or getting a high paying job, but just stuff like maybe mantaining an excercise routine, having a plant and watering maybe each two days, waking up and going to sleep at specific hours in the day, maybe try and learn a new skill, something easy like a specific recipe, or how to fix simple electric appliances.
Doing this will hopefully keep your mind off the scary and anxiety inducing thoughts until you are stable enough to approach them.

Thank you, I appreciate your advice, but many years of isolating yourself from society give you negative feelings to start doing something, and even more so to change yourself. I am anxious just from the thought that I will have to get out of my comfort zone and start working and doing something. When I am alone with myself, there is a void in my head and nothing original and interesting comes to mind. I have no friends or relatives who would help me in life, even in a psychological sense. I guess I'm just not fit for this life and leaving it would be the best solution. Thanks for the advice anyway.

Mhm, small goals
If you take a second & write down everything bothering you in life, you realize it's these massive fucking things
so when you think about you go "ok well how do I get drivers license. I have to go outside which means changing clothes & shower etc, I have to meet other people but that makes me super anxious, I have to study but what if I might fail & It's hard & I barely have the energy to get out of bed how the fuck am I supposed to do this"

So 1 thing turns into 20 things & you're screwed, not even the sanest person in the world can cope with such an amount of stress, the difference between us & the normal person, is that the majority of the 20 things are a non-issue

So what the fuck do we do since everything we ever do is a cause for 1 more stress added on?

Focus on 1 thing at a time, don't think "to do this, I gotta do this" just be like "Ok i'll do this 1 thing, I'll get out of bed & take a shower" "these plates in my room are stressing me out, I'll go put them in the dishwasher" and build very slowly from there

I'm talking the smallest shit, & you'll eventually be able to handle small tasks & lessen the load of anxieties & causes of depression so you can face bigger things

It's like, I said bad days, but don't even think of it as bad days
split the day into 5 sections, you're just having a bad section of the day & that's ok

This is all coming from a fucking huge loser, it's hard to imagine you're worse than me, I haven't had a friend in 20 years, never had a girlfriend, no education, I work a dead-end job that I have massive weekly anxiety about, but I gotta do it to pay some bills
I live with my mum out in the shed, I have no future prospects, I lie to any that tries to get close to me because I hate myself
No drivers license, I'm fat as fuck, I don't brush my teeth, I only shower when I need to for work, once a week
I have 2 shirts, 2 pairs of trousers, & 1 work trousers / shirt

do you watch porn/masturbate?
you might just have coomer fatigue

Yes, of course, half of my bookmarks in Google are porn and hentai, and I certainly do not deny the fact that I am addicted to it, but daily masturbation 2 times a day makes me calm and I feel good. Most likely, I just have dopamine burnout from all things in life, but this fact does not make it easier for me not to become.

>makes me calm and feel good
yeah for a little while, but overall you feel bad according to your first post.
It's like heroin. Feel good for the evening, then wake up the next morning and you can barely drag yourself out of bed.
>games are boring, movies too, there are no hobbies in life. Thoughts of suicide
Sounds like your dopamine receptors are fried from all the porn and masturbation. If you don't even enjoy video games, movies, or your hobbies anymore, your brain is cooked.
I was the same way when I was masturbating daily. Video games were boring, movies were boring, I stopped playing guitar, I felt like I had seasonal depression all year round.
then I quit jerking off and started getting my emotions back. Music sounded good again, movies became immersive and moving, I started enjoying playing guitar again.
when your brain expects dopamine spikes from masturbating everyday, it stops rewarding you with dopamine for other things. It just wants the spike it gets from masturbation.

You sound like a cult salesman, just stop you creep.

>So 1 thing turns into 20 things and you screwed up, even the most sane person in the world can't handle that much stress, the difference between us and a normal person is that most 20 things are not a problem
But what about successful people and such historical figures as Caesar, Napoleon and Hitler who could do several things at the same time and achieved success? Look at the biography of Hitler, he was able to get out of poverty and become a great man who went down in history, even as a negative character, but still entered it. Why can someone achieve success in life, and someone not? How am I or are you worse than others?
>It's like, i said bad days, but don't even think about it, since bad days
divide a day into 5 parts, you just have a bad part of the day, and that's fine
I have these bad days every day. I was taking antidepressants and benzodiapines that my doctor prescribed for me and they didn't help me and most likely only worsened my depression. I am broken both psychologically and physically.
>It all comes from a damn big loser, it's hard to imagine that you're worse than me, i haven't had a friend in 20 years, never had a girlfriend, no education, i work at a hopeless job that i have. weekly worry, but I have to do it to pay some bills
. I live with my mom in a barn, I have no prospects for the future, I lie to everyone who tries to get close to me because I hate myself
I don't have a driver's license, I'm fat as hell, I don't brush my teeth, I only take a shower when I have to go to work, once a week
I have 2 shirts, 2 pairs of trousers and 1 work trousers/shirt
I hope you will be able to find the happiness you are looking for and life will reward you for all your efforts. I also live with a mom who blames me for all my problems and makes a mess at home every day, so I haven't put things in order for a long time because it makes no sense.

Yes, you're completely right, but what to do? Be a nofap supporter? Being constantly aroused and thinking about sex? This is torture.

I forgot to make your penultimate sentence green, but I think you'll understand the context.

git gud, start lifting

Wow looks like user is suffering from his first depression. But I thought it was not real and a meme disease, what happened?

Do you think that sports can cure depression? Suppose I achieve any success in sports and my body will be pumped up, and then what? It won't solve my psychological problems.

body and mind are connected, you would be surprised how much better you would feel.

Surprisingly enough excersicing can help with your mental state, giving you a focus and releasing positive hormones in your brain, you just have to try and be consistent in the first sessions and then go from there

Start lifting and stop masturbating.
Come here in one month to tell us how you feel.

This is not the first depression. My depression started back in 2019 when I had problems at work and in my family with the mother I live with. After I stopped being a wagecuck, I started getting neetbux and drinking and smoking to forget about everyday problems, but after half a year I quit this shit. Then I went to a psychiatrist for six months and took antidepressants, sleeping pills and tranquilizers, but it only helped temporarily and depression returned again. And now, almost 4 years after my recent birthday, depression returned to me from an even more powerful stage than it was because I had serious suicidal thoughts. I do not know what to do.
Probably my meaning of life is just to sit on r9k and whine about my useless life.

You could try what I'm doing. Just give in and feel that, stop trying to force yourself yo "achieve" and just sit back. Go out and hike for a few hours a day, no music, just your dog if you have one. Don't talk to anyone for a week or two, not even texts or social media, not face to face either. Just isolate yourself and stop caring about the world and society.

Yes, you guys are right, I will try to do sports, although I don't think it will solve my life problems, but thank you all the same for your encouraging advice.

Yes, you are right about isolation from everyday problems, but the problem is that it is a vicious circle, and in a week, a month I will return to my daily affairs, which will kill me psychologically again.

>Being constantly aroused and thinking about sex?
This is what a lot of people struggle with. Not only do you need to quit porn, but you need to mentally train yourself to stop fantasizing about sexual things.
It's difficult at first but gets easier over time. The key is finding new ways to expel energy. Exercising more, reading, watching films, working, playing an instrument, meditating, even playing vidya.
You could also always try Lion's Mane mushroom supplements. It promotes neurogenesis and inhibits sexual thoughts (no idea why, but it does. Can personally attest to this.)
