Also, I'm considering reading Revolutionary Girl Utena, anyone here have any thoughts?

I think life would be better for people with depression if they weren't just pandered to and drugged into apathy

 

[Coricus]

What I should be doing with my time:

- Playing one of the most critically acclaimed video games of all time
- Organizing my Christmas list
- Literally anything legitimately responsible

What actually happens:

- Writes shipfic with stupid premise on AO3 at two in the morning and wonders the next day if that was really such a good idea. . .

. . .While thinking about if I should keep going and make it even stupider.

Congratulations you have no clue what you're talking about if you describe therapy as being pandered to

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I think life would be better for people with depression if they weren't just pandered to and drugged into apathy

Thats the main reason why I dont go to the docters for it because I know they will put me on pills Ill have to take my whole life and I had enough of that with my conerta

 

[ChikoLad]

I have depression my dude

And that is legit making me depressed because I really really need a computer but everything makes me dip a whole 1000 from what I had in my account and my financial anxiety makes it feel worse but I really Really really need a new laptop and idk what to do

I apologise if I offended you, I was just looking for an excuse to make a dumb Doki Doki joke.

Hope all is well.

You've already started, there's no turning back. Keep going and see what happens.

I'm positive I know more than you do in the least

When you act like right wing nutters who get outraged about Sesame Street teaching traumatized kids how to cope I doubt it. Plus, you live in the US which has dumb healthcare, especially compared to the Netherlands

Daily reminder that Larvesta evolves into Volcarona at Lv. 59 and that ****ing sux.

Depression is a disease, telling people to suck it up is like telling someone with cancer that it isn't so bad and they should deal with it

Curious as to what ship it might be and possibly a link to it.

Depression is a disorder, not a disease

Call me an asshole but as someone with depression and someone whos whole family had some cancer, I dont think you can compare depression to cancer

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Call me an ******* but as someone with depression and someone whos whole family had some cancer, I dont think you can compare depression to cancer

His point was that you can't tell someone to just suck it up,

So? Doesn't make my claim less valid

Have you tried looking up refurbished laptops? That might help as far as the price goes.

Life isn't going to be more kind to you because of your mental state

Survival of the fittest. You have to show life your fit to survive

No one else is going to do it for you. In the end we are all alone and all struggling to survive

You do realise "mental disease" is a synonym to "mental disorder", right?

Call me an ******* but as someone with depression and someone whos whole family had some cancer, I dont think you can compare depression to cancer

It's this kind of behavior that makes depression so dangerous, by treating it like no big deal.
Depression kills, it doesn't kill you directly but the loss of drive, especially eating, to do anything can lead to malnutrition, and everything between the low self-esteem, random cases of pain can lead to suicide. And even if it doesn't, it can destroy your social life or end up with you basically dead on the inside.
Please, treat yourself, depression is just as dangerous as any other disease so don't take it lightly.

But the word disease in general is not synonymous

A medical disease like cancer and a mental disease are not the same thing

It's Pit x Inkling Christmas fluff.

Yeah.

I guess I felt like being sappy after cutting my latest antidepressant's dose in half for a bit. I wasn't as depressed anymore alright but it sent my anxiety issues up about 20 notches and I'm already a twitchy person. I don't feel like I'm diseased, but I do need something at this point.

That has nothing to do with therapy lmao you nihilist. People with depression aren't going "I'M DEPRESSED GIMME A LIFE TIME OF TWIX BARS", hell, sometimes they don't even want help despite needing it. Also what's with the whole survival of the fittest thing? We aren't animals, we evolved for a reason

That's kind of a strawman

And we are animals

 

[Chrono.]

So the Houseki no Kuni OP song kicks ass and this is the first time I've been truly wowed by a CGI anime.

Daily reminder that Larvesta evolves into Volcarona at Lv. 59 and that ****ing sux.

Yeah this is why I opted out not to get one for Ultra.

As much as I love Volcarona, you get Larvesta too late and for the main story it's not worth the grind.

 

[Schnee117]

Telling people with depression to "suck it up" is really ****ing disgusting

We aren't animals, we evolved for a reason

I mean we are animals but otherwise yeah survival of the fittest is a **** justification (there is no justification btw) for telling a depressed person to "suck it up."

 

[Cutie Gwen]

That's kind of a strawman

And we are animals

Says the person who claims therapy is pandering

I don't see bears working 9 to 5 to feed their kids and pay the bills

 

[Schnee117]

Bears do work though. How else do they survive? Same with every other animal. They all have their own duties and stuff that they have to do in order to survive just like we have to go to work in order to make money so we can get stuff to help us survive.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I never said therapy was pandering in the first place, that was just your assumption from my saying they shouldn't' be pandered to

Bears aren't people though. They're bears. They don't have the luxury of therapy

I never said therapy was pandering in the first place, that was just your assumption from my saying they shouldn't' be pandered to

Who the **** is demanding to be pandered to? Also I like how you bring this up now instead of when when you said this

I'm positive I know more than you do in the least

You said that when I said you have no idea what you're talking about if you cann therapy pandering to, so either you just pulled this out of your ass now or didn't read

 

[Blargg888]

So I just finished USUM's Main Game yesterday, and I started up the post game today.
I haven't done

Spoiler

Episode RR

yet, nor have I gone to the Battle Tree.

The levels I had coming out of the League were 70, 70, 70, 70, 70, and 72
There was no grinding involved here, this is just Pokemon Refresh in action.
I, uh... May be a tad bit overleveled...

Still though, I loved this team, it might be one of my favorite teams I've ever had. It's up there with my BW/BW2 teams and my OR team.

I had this awesome moment where each of my Pokemon got a chance to shine in the final battle, 6 1v1 battles in a row. It was just awesome.

Malamar is utterly broken with Contary and Topsy-Turvey.

One last thing:

Spoiler

I decided to go into the Ultra Wormhole the moment I got access to it before the final trial, just to try it out, and what's the first Pokemon I run into?


Of course, it's none other than:

I was not prepared for that.
Thankfully, I still managed to catch it.

Overall, I loved the game. I still have a lot more to do though.

 

[Coricus]

That's kind of a strawman

And we are animals

The fact that we're animals is why things like tribalism, bigotry, and sexual harassment exist.

It doesn't mean we shouldn't try to rise above base instincts.

And yeah no I've been told to suck it up before and it doesn't work. I can't magically make myself stop feeling lethargic from not feeling like life is fulfilling, on to pills.

 

[Schnee117]

Bears aren't people though. They're bears. They don't have the luxury of therapy

I'm not saying they are. I'm saying humans are animals just like Bears and Beavers and Tigers and Crocodiles.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I'm not saying they are. I'm saying humans are animals just like Bears and Beavers and Tigers and Crocodiles.

Well you got my admittedly poorly worded point at least so eh

 

[Deleted member]

Absurd evolution levels are my only real issue with Gen 5.
I'd love to use Hydreigon but??? Lv64??? Why not make it 69 already so I can at least laugh like a 11-year old.
They aren't evem tailored to the game itself, Ghetsis's own Hydreigon is Lv54, why not cap around that?
Hell, they even give you a Lv35 Volcarona in BW's desert castle and a pre-evolved Braviary/Mandibuzz in Route 4 in B2W2, they know these evo levels are way too high so why make them like this?

 

[ChikoLad]

Life isn't going to be more kind to you because of your mental state

Survival of the fittest. You have to show life your fit to survive

No one else is going to do it for you. In the end we are all alone and all struggling to survive

Life also isn't a sentient being.

But people are, and they are capable of both making logical deductions and showing compassion.

Doing both of these things, even just a little bit, can be the difference between someone at least having some reason to get up in the morning, and "being all alone and struggling to survive".

I say this as one of the loneliest people I know. I may not know such happiness on a personal level, or at the least I have forgotten what it really feels like, but I know that it's out there. By thinking we are all alone and struggling to survive, you are denying the basic scientific fact that humans are a social species. We aren't even the only social species so we aren't even an anomaly in that regard.

Also I apologise for instigating this debate with my dumb Doki Doki joke and apologise to anyone who has depression or is otherwise not in good spirits for potentially forcing them to read about an uncomfortable subject.

Bruh dont worry, I joke about my depression everyday because dark humor is a thing I have

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Well, she doesn't go around telling patients that. Just me

And yeah no I've been told to suck it up before and it doesn't work. I can't magically make myself stop feeling lethargic from not feeling like life is fulfilling, on to pills.

I don't think someone should become completely dependent on the pills. Big Pharma doesn't have your best interest at heart and pills are just their way of making an easy profit. Mass produced, fast. The FDA are the same, they get a majority of their money from pills. Go to a doctor's office for depression they'll walk in, prescribe you pills, and walk out. Not even look you in the eye. Time is money. Pills are money. The faster you can get through a patient the better. Drug people into apathy. Keep people drugged, keep them quiet.

 

[mario123007]

Wait, XC2 is already dropping on Friday? Guess games come out fast when you're not hyped for them.
I can't trust a Xenoblade game that doesn't get delayed though, this is too suspicious

Sorry for being serious, but what suspicious? I don't think Monolith Soft will rush this game early since the DLC story is next year. So I guess it might just be additional rather than they put it because they couldn't make it in time.

That said...
Dunban - So that's how it is. Giving up the sword already?

My steps toward depression

>thinks about getting a laptop that I really need
>puts laptop in cart and sees it will take a big big chunk out of my bank account
>delete laptop from cart
>crys in bed

Man... I feel you... it will always be the worst dream...
But as you know always manage your budget, if you can't get the laptop due to not enough cash, then it's obvious that save it later until you get enough or when there's discount.

Hey, don't sweat it man, I'm more worried about you than anything reading this. I'm fine with the joke, and Pumpkaboo seems to be too.

If it makes you feel better, you're not the only one here to make Doki Doki jokes.

OH WOOPS I started building an aminity on Pocket Camp and its long since done and i forgot about it

So now the campers are probably all "Um... Where is the manager"

If the pills help people feel like life is worth living again, who cares about "Big Pharma" conspiracy nonsense? Granted, I know some people who literally can't take antidepressants due to predisposition to harmful side effects (like increased risk of suicide, which was always one of the most horrible cases of irony, sadly), but to say no one should be dependent on them only serves to make others guilty about helping themselves. And that's not really cool.
