You don't, sadly. If you're empty and dead inside then you need to be focusing on improvement. It doesn't matter what improve, just literally anything. I almost jumped off a bridge a couple months ago when I was at some of the lowest in my life, and cutting back on video games really helped.

My suggestion is to play games you KNOW you can relax to while listening to some music, maybe listen to some podcasts or something, just to let loose. But, make sure to play something with actual goals. My favorite example is Terraria. If I feel REALLY sad, I always start a new Terraria world and listen to some Incubus while I play. I can set a goal like building a couple nice bases, put together a fashion set I like, something that's more than just mindlessly grinding the game.

Games that give you a creative outlet are better for depression, I think. If you really just aren't in the mood for games, that "write in a journal about your mood/feels" strat actually does work, there's a reason it's recommended. Working on a hobby where you can see active improvement goes a long way for improving your attitude about how shitty life is.

Being depressed and/or knowing the world is a piece of shit shouldn't stop you from having fun and doing what you want to do in the now. You just have to find out what it is. You don't have to be trapped in a world of grey when the paint bush of happiness is already in your hand, you just have to take the first stroke.

if you figure it out lemme know

Watch someone else play. Twitch has plenty of games and gamers. Interact with the community.

The problem isn't that world is shit, you just can't find your place in it.

Vidya gaymes rotted my brain. After i took a long break from it i can enjoy stuff im intrested in, my attention spam increased, im more motivated etc. You should just take a long break from it.

Lift and watch twitch streams? Lifting is actually really good for mental health. I feel like one of the reason I'm so depressed is because I'm turning into a fat fuck.

It's not much, but I started doing at least 7-8 pushups and 10 squats at least twice a day, and I'm slowly moving up. Just that alone has done WONDERS for my back. I almost never have cramps anymore.

It's definitely both. If I could sacrifice myself as a martyr to instantly make the world a better place for others, I would. Sadly there's no "convert human souls into overall world peace" option in this game.

You can also do dips and pullups at home. Theyre great body building excercises.

no, the most important post is

Bye

>and watch twitch streams?

At least for the community and interaction. Better than sitting alone playing vidya.

get on a proper all natural diet (not veganisim)
its the only thing that cured my depression the pills didnt work at all

You're gonna laugh at me, but all my life I've never been able to do a single pullup, or at least when I was actually working out at my parent's house I never attempted. I tried earlier this year, and my arms don't have the power, so I'm just going to do the exercises I can instead of just hanging from a pull up bar.

I love watching stream highlights, but I don't like being a part of the chat live. There's something uncanny about all those people just sitting around typing in a chat at a single guy.

But, they are probably all also playing their own games or zoning in and out, so it's probably not that bad.

You’ve gotta be seriously autistic to participate in twitch chat yet alone watching that shit

Try chin ups, hands facing away

You're a really nice person.

the only twitch steams that are worth watching and actually funny are paymoneywobby and peachsaliva/patstaresat

Pretty much what said, you seem to have burnt yourself out. Try reading, light workouts, pursue a creative hobby. Give it a couple of months and see where you're at then.

Keep fapping until you cum blood.

You don't. Cheers.

Thanks, friend.
I'll give it a shot next time I manage to get my hands near a bar.
Thanks!

Show me a picture of your feet.

thank you anons i will try

A picture of your feet, send it.

You kind of just bury yourself into a mindless, routine type of game, the kind you can memorize patterns for and beat with muscle memory. Then you play and let reflex take over. Devil daggers is a good one, bloody palace in dmc maybe.

For depression, exercise and some extended sleep helps, but there's really not a whole lot you can do except grieve until the worst of it blows over. Just do what's necessary to keep the lights on so your life doesn't completely fall apart during a phase.

Because you play too much
Gaming after you finish your job feels much better

I think that you need to do some other stuff, at an age of responsability vidya should be a neat distraction, not a way of life
I'm in your case, I can't bring myself to search for a fucking job

Not OP but you're too optimistic I think. Also, that whole "creative outlet shtick" doesn't really work in my opinion. I spent around 100 hours in minecraft and by the end of it I just felt I was wasting my time.

Same here, I was just about to take some bigger responsibilities in my life and the chink virus fucked me over, can't even look for a job now, can't go to the gym, couldn't even get in college, all I can do right now is sit on my ass staring blankly at a screen waiting for the lockdown to be over
