people say this but it’s complete bullshit
sure you won’t get professional help but going to your peers (even if that peer group is a fucking roleplay community) and telling them about your issue and asking for help is never a bad idea

Except whenever malicious people who infect most public forums lash onto you and your vulnerabilities and exploit them for laughs. This place may be an avenue to socialise and meet new people. I met people here I would consider good friends of mine. But talking about such private issues, even anonymously, in a public sphere like this is a recipe for one malignant person to exploit that and make oneself the butt of jokes.

And that would only further the person in questions deteriorating state of mind. Even though the person who said it probably didn't mean much by it or didn't put much thought into it.

Like how maybe when someone says something to you offhand and you overthink it.

tl;dr

Ask your friends for help, friends can be made online, but not everyone on a public forum is your friend.

plus to be honest you can never tell if someone is being genuine online or phishing for attention

i mean

who would go on the internet and just tell lies

right?

but i can't change it.
yes you can. you can't wait for your life to change, because it's your life waiting for you to change. you can't blame "lethargy, paranoia, proscratination" indefinitely because that's not a real reason. as harsh as it might sound, you're just finding a reason to run away from your problems. if you're scared to tell about it to other people in your life, the only way you can get out of this is through a crusade in self improvement. exercise. start writing a diary about your feelings. learn something new. the name of the game is keeping your mind busy enough so that it can mend its wounds without falling into a spiral of self hatred and depression.

one of the things I see here a lot on neb is people who (like i used to) will drop 2-6-8 hours on neb each day, most being literally afk at any random spot because "i want to be around when something happens" as if they expect the world to give them something to do

you gotta find that shit yourself, sitting around afk for 2 hours just to be able to even have a fucking slim fucking chance to be picked for an event/sweep/some gay shit to happen isn't going to cut it and will leave you with your largest enemy: your own brain

get off neb, find a hobby to do; something i've been doing lately is playing osu!mania and it's honestly so very rewarding to find an extremely well-made beatmap (entozer) and to play it, learn it, and eventually get >92% on it. Your hobby is something only you have - trying to find something that someone else here will enjoy will get you nowhere, you need something you enjoy, not what they enjoy - nobody on neb plays fighting games but that doesn't stop my faggot ass from enjoying them

either way, you can't just idle and expect things to get better, playing the same damned games that you don't enjoy anymore hoping something new will happen

when you take inventory of your life and find that someone taking you off a virtual job position is a huge impact on you, it's time to cut that fuckin' cord off at the stem and find something else to do

in short

1. get sunlight, nobody fucking goes outside in this place and vitamin d is literally why lots of people have depression

2. exercise clears the mind, just run up and down your street (maybe even at 2am like me) and you'll see immediate results in the ways you think each day

3. stop gaming/find a new game/new hobby

don't let some gay-ass community be the decider in what you enjoy/don't enjoy
